    New 375 cheytac

    No, that could be accounted for by a heartbeat if you have your chest resting against the shooting bench. Heck no, that is some awesome shooting1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Longest Shot Attempt...

    I've got the same one on my LaserRange2000 Rangefinder. Chinese built, I'd have to go dig t out of the safe to get the name. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Longest Shot Attempt...

    This is that new Serbu .17 rail gun, right? I heard they were still having problems with the bullets turning to plasma at the 40,000 f.p.s. muzzle velocity. So far they've only been able to use it to create miniature Black Holes at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe... Sent from my iPad...

    A minute high at 610 and 1050?

    Ballistic Coefficients given to us by manufacturers may be mathemateical calculations or actual testing of velocity at diferent distances. Various internal and external ballistic factors determint the B.C. which can vary slightly weapon to weapon. You can calculate the B.C. from your gun and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Whats the best designed true fighting knife

    no disagreement here, I favor the karambit because it adapts itself to empty handed techniques with the addition of a wickedly sharp, curved single or double edge blade that cuts on the way in and out from a fists closed, forearm forward boxing style position. I carry one on each side of my...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 44 Mag, Which one to buy?

    Forget the Smith: the recoil on that light gun is brutal unless you shoot light, .44 Super type loads. The Rugers are nigh indestructible, though I think the Double Action of the Super RH to be more favorable. Also, if you want the most the cartridge can offer, 7+ inches of barrel is needed...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shield almost took my fingers today

    I'm just going to go with my gut and pick what's behind door #2, which is....overpressure round. The .40 is a high pressure cartridge to begin with; I had an XD40 and really didn't like the feel of the gun when shooting - very sharp and unpleasant. Traded for and XD45, put in PSG trigger and...

    Question regarding full value wind on elevation

    Copy that. Used to shoot at a 1000 yd range in NC that was essentially a bowl between FFP and targets. God help the shooter who drew the leftmost firing point with a full value L to R wind; as the wind came up over the ridge and down into the bowl, deflection could change from elevation to...

    50cal bullet design...

    Are these Sherline lathes heavy enough to accurately turn these bullets? I'd be interested in buying one and learning how to use it if they were.... Wes Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Question regarding full value wind on elevation

    Makes sense; like another poster mentioned, the direction of the wind also affects elevation or declination of POI, although I don't know why. Thanks for posting that quote. Wes Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Would there be interest in a 340-360 grain 375 Cal A-max? Need a little more info...

    Count me in. If they are as good as the other AMax bullets I use in .224 (55gr), 6mm (105 gr), .308 (208/225), yeah, I'd be on them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

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

    Bored with it? Or no more able to prove your point of view so you refuse to consider it any longer? You know what you know, is other words, so there can be no more. Are you saying that because the SHOOTER (your caps, not mine) can't see a group at 1000 yards, they shoot better than they do at...

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

    Frank, explain something to me. There are three groups here; are they all at the same distance? I notice something here that bothers me in the first two groups, and that is vertical stringing. . Worse in the second group than the first, possibly due to barrel fouling or different shooting...

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

    OK, Frank, I concede this discussion - but not my personal beliefs or shooting practices- based on it. Just as long as those beliefs and the practice they have led me to gets my bullets to go where I want them to go. FWIW, I wouldn't shoot a load that didn't shoot 'well' at 100 yards, counting...

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

    Look, guys, this is not worth getting jacked at each other over. There are three kinds of people; those who believe unquestioningly, those who reject unquestioningly, and those who consider in fact, that there might be something out there new to learn. Frank, with respect, the quote from the...

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

    Frank. you're the man, but I don't see where I have misinterpreted any posts, respectfully. To be blunt, I have seen rifles of less precision shoot groups of 2=3 MOA at 100 meters, only to print sub MOA groups at 400 yards or beyond. The excellent groups you bring to the table neither prove...

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

    "stable is stable....otherwise the bulletholes would be oblong at 100 yards (paraphrased)." I have no intention of starting a flamefest, especially with a guy who has more experience than I'll ever have. Consider this a quest for information, and the fact that this is the internet, where intent...

    anti cant level

    True that the Human eye has a very fine resolution when it comes to cant, but any marksman worth his bear tooth will tell you the eye is easily tricked by uneven terrain, erratic terrain features, early/late day lighting conditions, among other conditions. Veterans of ASC will tell you how the...
