    Managing Intra String Wind Shifts?

    Re: Managing Intra String Wind Shifts? This thread appears to be going down the toilet pretty fast... What does any of this have to do with doping wind, or spotting impacts at ELR ranges??? NOTHING!! Just based off the formulation of the mature question MZB asked, it sounds like he pretty...

    hit the gong at a mile today !!

    Re: hit the gong at a mile today !! Personally, I have recorded more than a couple shots at over a mile employing a 50. I am running the 750 A Max bullet. A mile (1760 yards) just does not look that far anymore, or at leased as far as it did once upon a time... even though I will admit it is...

    Mike Walker---Father of the Remington 700

    Re: Mike Walker---Father of the Remington 700 BAT Boy Oh, OK, the interview was last year then and not recent, makes sense. So the article never discussed why Mike resigned in Jan. 1975, after 42 years of service - I did not think so... Personally I never held Jim Stekl in high regard when...

    50 cal bmg

    Re: 50 cal bmg The AR-50 is a very accurate entry level rifle if you develop the ability to do your part. I have seen one produce a 3 shot group @ 100 yards - prone that will readily cover the group with a nickle. In the area of LR & ELR they readily seem to be able to get the job done with a...
