    Vertical Stringing off Bench

    I'll toss in here with this hard won bits of experience from the School of Hard Knocks: 1) Unless you're in extremely cold weather with very slow large grain powder, I have found Magnum Primers to be unnecessary in the 300 Win Mag. I use Fed 210Ms, even in my loads for 240 SMKs and a casefull...

    Please explain how a bullet can "go to sleep" and get more accurate at longer ranges?

    "Going to sleep" = stabilizing gyroscopically in flight. The fight path of a bullet is not a 'straight line'. It actually follows a movement know as 'precession' where the bullet actually spirals around the intended flight path. Due to number of variable which include but are in no way...

    Trouble getting my 408 CT to shoot under 1 MOA

    I hope it helps, GE; i hope to get my 375 down to moa. Good luck and let us see those targets; and like one other poster said, stretch out to 1000, 1500 meters or more; lets see if those bullets just need some extra time to settle down into nice, stable flight. Wes Sent from my iPad using...

    3650 Yard shot @ Whittington Center(375 Chey-tac)

    I'm a little confused by this statement myself, especially as a shooter who has gone on board the 375 CT bandwagon with my little disability check ("A man must have a goal to pursue to make waking up each day worthwhile (paraphrased for the holier than thou's out there)...Voltaire). You offer...

    Question regarding full value wind on elevation

    OK, thanks guys. I don't pretend to know as much about ELR as I intend to, but that clip had me thinking I had missed something of monumental importance along the way, not to mention questioning the results of personal experience at those ranges. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    anti cant level

    Canting, or leaning, your rifle changes your scope's visual reference around the rifle's optical center, causing the bullet path to change in the direction of the cant. Glidder, an ACD is a very useful reference tool provided your rifle and scope are set up properlly: 1)...

    Long range elk caliber in a s/a?

    I agree. I just offered an option for his SA; of couse he can get an LA, in which case I'd still recommend the 300 Win as the cartridge of choice for the reasons states. And, call me silly, as I hunt with a single shot rifle - just like you did. Like I said, I have a shell holder on the gun...

    Trouble getting my 408 CT to shoot under 1 MOA

    Oh, hell, I may have just stumbled on part of your problem. You said that when reloading your last batch of ammo there was a wide variance in pressure needed to seat the bullets. This is an easy, inexpensive fix almost guaranteed to improve your groups. If you don't have one or use one, get a...

    Trouble getting my 408 CT to shoot under 1 MOA

    As previously stated, don't overlook barrel fouling, but the one thing I would look at closely is the barrel bore uniformity. You'll need a 'smith or barrel maker who has an air gauge; if the barrel opens up even .001" from the breech diameter, it will negatively affect accuracy. Turning down...

    Question regarding full value wind on elevation

    Watched a History Channel special on Snipers; the one that has GSGT Hathcock in it. There was also a sniper who served in Fallujah who made a 1350 meter triangle/center mass shot on enemy personnel. The shot was complicated by a full value 9 o'clock wind from an incoming sandstorm that...

    Long range elk caliber in a s/a?

    Short Actions for Long Cartridges Sure. Been done for years, mostly for guys in the same situation as the hunter who started the thread: they have a perfectly good short action (Rem 700) and need to shoot longer cartridges. I've personally done it on two of my guns. Goes something like...

    Long range elk caliber in a s/a?

    Good question. For me, I'd open up the bolt face to magnum, install a Sako or AR-15 extractor, chamber with a SAAMI Match Spec reamer from Pacific Precision (or whomever you like). With the Win Mag you can buy (if you can find) a multitude of excellent factory rounds, brass is plentiful and...

    Suppressors Spectre to SpectreII upgrade: Info for all users

    Andrew: that was my assumption. I had used the Spectre 1 on this adapter, and made the mistake of assuming I would not have to change anything whhen I had the upgrade done. I would have been better off to take a couple of threads off the adapter. My bad, lesson learned, and fortunately no...
