    Army's M24...

    Re: Army's M24... Never heard of a "snopes", 40Xs may not be bigger OD now, they were then, why else have a diff action? A subtle difference you don't want,,, the 24s screw adjustments on the "adjustable" trigger are staked at the custom shop. Sucks, but I think I get it. Dakota didn't...

    Army's M24...

    Re: Army's M24... Hi, I admire your search. I worked at SOTIC in 88 when we brought the first 36 M24s into the system. You'd have to piece it together of course. The original barrel maker still makes barrels, but remington puts their trash tubes on the gun. They were/are long action...

    NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Front ..

    Re: NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Fron On #1: Your point is valid, cept at a lower BC, you've got to be closer to the booger eaters, hence why mess with a special cartridge. The Sierra MK version of the 350 gr. 375 CheyTac would do that scenario well. It's a standard, nothing...

    .338 Lapua over .300 WM?

    Re: .338 Lapua over .300 WM? Back when Lost River Ballistics was around, they made 200 gr. match solid with a .707 supersonic average BC. Now adays, i'd shoot the 195 gr. Lapua rebated boat-tail. It's slightly lower on the REAL BC than the 220 SMK, but you can drive it 1t 2950 - 3000 fps if...

    .338 Lapua over .300 WM?

    Re: .338 Lapua over .300 WM? Crane is wrong, I've shot them both, the 338 Lapua with ANYTHING match is superior to the best 300 Win Mag, it's the error budget analysis and supersonic range. The 338 Lap Mag with any match bullet has a supersonic range of 1600 - 1900 yards. The 300 Win Mag...

    Scope for .375 Cheytac

    Re: Scope for .375 Cheytac Just to add to what DJD said, and he is dead nuts right. In every situation where i've shot 1500+, i've turned the power DOWN vs. UP. Aim small, shoot small. Mirage will make a 20" 1000 bull into a wobbly blob at 22X at 2000 yards, but turn that power down to 5.5...

    Re: NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Fron Hey shooters, Been logging on and off for the past few days reading over some things. Some of this stuff is arguable, no doubt. The posts all have good points, some stronger than others. I’ll respond one by one, and hope I don’t miss...

    Re: NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Front .. First discussion subject on what can cause the vertical stringing in the pic: 1. Range of 1500-1800 is way to much leadway that will cause that much vertical. example if target is 1600 and you calculating solution for 1800 then you are...

    Re: NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Front .. In Reference: (natural updraft and or downdraft at hill, mountain or cliff) In the ball park, what velocity is a draft? What is it's effect? Is it predictable? There is a specific event that happens in these conditions, downhill...

    NEW TOPIC: Increased Air Pressure on the Front ..

    Long range guys, new discussion subject. Roughly stated, winds that run from your 6 o'clock to the 12 o'clock downrange. The terrain PAST maximum ordinate rises sharply with 45 degrees either side of the gun target line. Phone below is a good example. EVENT: Rounds string up and down the...

    Help from the Wind Masters

    Re: Help from the Wind Masters Damn!! I also spose that that old coke can taped into my crack to keep rain water from running down that really bad place that seems to be accountable for about 50% of a wind error!! For example, if you're right handed, and tend to favor a knee cocked up...

    Help from the Wind Masters

    Re: Help from the Wind Masters aahhh, let me see if I can remember any of this. Aim somewhere in the same direction the wind is coming from? Wait, I remember something about bullets spinning, which complicates things, temp, bp issues, earth spinning? Please don't tell me sunspots are...

    Re: Back from the dead Steve, Stood here and laughed for 3 solid minutes after I read your note. I'm guessing that there are lots of you're ex-wife's sisters out there. Twisted as it sounds, this whole thing has brought me to better understand gay men, though i'll never try that one...
