    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards Actually, where I shoot in the mountains, mirage isn't too bad. When I shoot in the desert, that is when mirage REALLY becomes a major concern. I have heard really good things about Sightron's glass which is a big bonus when shooting at these distances, so...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards I was reading a review about the 10x42 SS the other day; it said something about the SS having 156 MOA elevation adjustment (with 90 MOA left after sight-in, amazing!), though officially it is listed as having 100+ MOA. I am curious as to how much variation...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards The Sightron is another scope I should consider. 150 MOA ought to be plenty for what I am doing. The SS 20x42 has the same amount of elevation, though; I'll have to do some comparison shopping to see if it is worth the extra $200+. I'll pass on Leupold; they...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards The 175 SMK, huh? Never given it any thought. Typically Sierra's ballistic coefficients have been too low and prices too high for me to give them much attention. Add to that the fact that many of Sierra's bullets have issues staying transonically stable, and...

    300WM question

    Re: 300WM question I have no experience as to velocity, but having a .300 short like that would probably screw it on the shooter's end. You would have increased muzzle blast, tons of recoil, and slightly reduced velocity. In my opinion, not worth it because the rifle isn't taking advantage of...

    308 vs 300 mag???

    Re: 308 vs 300 mag??? You can expect some pretty hardcore recoil and some substantial range gains. There is no comparison between the .308 and .300 win mag. With the 208 Amax, expect to be able to shoot a LONG way. I love that bullet. I can fully expect 2400 yards of supersonic flight where I...

    Single load or magazine feed

    Re: Single load or magazine feed If we're talking seating depth, as was previously mentioned, single load allows one the bullets out longer (you can run them long in a DBM gun too, just as long as you load them one at a time). There is also an argument that single load makes the rifle stiffer...

    6 Reasons The Guy Who's Fixing Your Computer...

    Re: 6 Reasons The Guy Who's Fixing Your Computer... So true. Sometimes I hate IT. Most of the time the issue is a direct result of the guy "downloading music." I guess that is what they are calling looking at porn these days.

    Range Report 155Amx vs. 175SMK what is better?

    Re: 155Amx vs. 175SMK what is better? If you have a 10 twist (an 11 twist may work as well, but I don't know), the 208 Amax is the way to go. Skip the light bullets. I use the 208 Amax in my .300 win mag and my .30-06, and they work wonders over those light bullets. With a claimed G1...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards That's awesome! maybe I'll try some of those 180s as well to see if they can make it transonic better than the 162s. Yeah, time of flight is long enough to take a quick follow up shot before the bullet impacts! Thanks for the info!

    what base rifle for a beginner?

    Re: what base rifle for a beginner? Good caliber choice. That was the caliber of my first hunting rifle. That gun kills elk really well. I would highly recommend a Savage or a Remington since you mention that you want to upgrade down the road. With Remington, a gunsmith is pretty much going...

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards Will do. I just have to order a custom base from the people down at Murphy Precision (It takes a TON of elevation to get out there!). Once I get that, I'm golden. Thanks for the response! I'll take care to record how it groups directly after going subsonic.

    7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards

    I'm curious as to whether or not altitude has an effect on transonic stability, more specifically as to whether or not the 162 Amax will be stable while making the transition to subsonic speeds. I am shooting at 8500 feet and am trying to get my 9.5 twist 7mm Rem Mag past 2400 yards. I know that...
