    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    The chrono is a Labradar & the MV should be at the muzzle

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I am shooting Hornady 75 gr. BTHP w/ a published G1 of .395 & cronographed speed of 2800 fps. The first column is actual dope. The second two are ballistic calcs from JBM & Strelok @ MV=2800 & BC=.395. The fourth colum is JBM w/ a MV of 3150 & BC of .28. The last column is strelok w/ a MV of...

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Do not think that I made mistakes in dialing the scope as I would write down the values at 300, 400, 500, 575, 700 & 1000 yards. Did not think that the scope may not be tracking properly, I guess that would make sense tp check next. Easiest way would be to switch scopes between the .308 &...

    Brass Catcher

    Need to get a brass catcher for my AR15 & AR10. Plan to shoot off a tripod, so the bag needs to be fully supported by the rifle & not the bench. Who makes a decent one that does not impede with function?

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    Yes, the scope height is correct. Also, the altitude, temp, baro.pres. & RH was input for actual conditions that day. That is why I am unsure about what is going on. Both MV & BC are significantly off to get the drops to line up.

    Help me Calibrate my Bal.Calc. to actual Drop

    I shot my AR out to 100o yards yesterday and my ballistic prediction (JBM) was off. Going thru the I was going to correct the velocity to 700 yards and then the BC to 1000. I am shooting a Hornady 75 gr. BTHP that has a published G1 of .395 @ 2800 fps (per labradar). To get the JBM drops to...

    R700 B&C M40 Stock Mod

    Trying to do a cheap precision rifle Build. Started w/ my R700 Long Range (#84164). This model had a BC M40 stock, which I modified by filing & building up w/ Devcon to have same the grip as my Manners T2A. Also added a PTG flush mount military style BDM (for AICS mags w/ up to a 3.775 COAL)...

    H870 for 300 Win Mag?

    A buddy of mine gave me 5 lbs. of H870. I cannot seem to find any load data for this powder. Would it work for 300 Win Mag & if so, does anyone have any load data?

    Kestrel?

    Will the standard blue Weatherflow work? The one they market for precision shooting is on backorder. Noticed that the precision shooting one has DA but I don't think that the standard one does. Is that a big deal, or will the ballistic app be able to provide the density altitude?

    Kestrel?

    Sounds like the Kestrel can wait. I use JBM all the time & am going to get Strelok on my phone. Is there a decent wind meter that is not too pricey? I know that I need to learn how to read wind, but am thinking that some handheld device may help me do that.

    Kestrel?

    Just beginning to get into PRS. Thinking about getting a Kestrel 5700 but am wondering if I need it at this stage. Not so much worried about being competitive as I want to do whatever I can to improve my ability to learn. Also, are there cheaper alternatives that are worthwhile?

    Suppressor vs. Muzzle Brake for PRS

    One other impediment is that some states do not allow suppressors. I hail from PA. NY & NJ matches cannot be shot with suppressors. My thought is local matches & when in suppressor friendly states - use a suppressor. In the commie land states use a muzzle brake along with double ears. Not...

    Suppressor vs. Muzzle Brake for PRS

    I agree about the concussion. For me it's about saving my hearing. I'm 57 and been shooting for a long time and been around chainsaws, farm equipment etc. my entire life. PRS matches I'll be wearing double ears as 99% are using brakes. When I practice, it will be nice to use just a set of muffs.

    Suppressor vs. Muzzle Brake for PRS

    I know that suppressors reduce recoil somewhat, but not as much as a brake. For PRS shooting will a suppressor make it significantly harder? I want to preserve my hearing, and with a muzzle brake would be using double ears. I know that specifics matter - which suppressor, which muzzle brake...

    Vortex Razor or Nightforce NX8?

    I need to get a scope that will be used primarily for PRS shooting. I am between a Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27 & the Nightforce NX8 4-32 F1. they both in the same price range. By the numbers, the Nightforce seems to win - lighter (by 16 oz.), more magnification range. The Nightforce has a...

    PTG DBM - R700 LA Military style vs. M5 style

    I just ordered a PTG DBM for my 300WM R700. My rifle has a B&C M40 stock. I thought that I ordered a military style but received a M5. On their website they say that the M5 WILL require inletting but that the military style is designed as a drop in for BDL stocks. My rifle was a Long Range...

    300WM Barrel Life with soft loads

    I got a 308 that I absolutely love. Beginning to shoot PRS w/ my son, and am already in the process of building up a 300WM. So I need another rifle & would rather spend the money on getting my 300WM set up, rather than another 308. Although I will use my 300WM "the way it was intended", that...

    300WM Barrel Life with soft loads

    I thought about that, but not sure that it 100% works that way. In my 308, 178 gr. bullets w/ 43.0 grains of varget get me 2525 FPS out of my 20" R700. The max bullet weight that Hogdon has varget data for is 168 gr. They have a starting load of 54 grains (2,795 fps) and a max. of 58.2...

    300WM Barrel Life with soft loads

    If the 300WM is loaded to low levels, will barrel life go up significantly. Still burning a lot of powder at low loads. I'm talking about really low loads like 178 gr. at 2700 FPS.
