    AW/AE/AICS mag diffrences

    If any AICS will fit, they will both fit. The AICS goes over to a double stack eventually, but starts off single stack and then slowely tapers open. The AW magazine is a true double stack from start to finish; hence it is quite a bit shorter than the AICS 10rd magazine.

    damoncali: I agree on the wind being more of an influence beyond a certain point.

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    I also don't agree with that. My targets have the same scale at each distance, so the same accuracy is required preferably. No more, no less (relative to distance). At longer ranges you have more factors influencing what you hit besides the inherent accuracy of the rifle/cartridge, very true...

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    Culpeper... I only switch them out when they no longer shoot what I want, not the cliche "replace after 1000 rounds to be sure". All barrels I have had die on me would start to show it at long range first, not grouping anymore and no longer that feeling of trust that the bullet goes where you...

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    Most people do not see a barrel as a consumable. Despite it not being the largest cost of shooting, there is a lot of hassle involved in setting up the new barrel and finding the right recipe again.

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    Carbon is an insulator, it will keep heat in instead of dissipating it. Culpeper: You first have to know what is acceptable to determine what "barrel life" means to begin with. If you're happy with 2moa then the barrel will last much longer than when you think at 0.5moa it is as good as...

    Barrel Life Expectancy Chart

    What is 2moa worth for every day or competition shooting? That's not really accuracy, that's just something coming out of a barrel going forward in the general direction of where you aimed.

    Made the decision

    Contrary to what was said, you will see a difference before 600y unless there is never any wind where you shoot.

    Depends and what "accuracy" you will accept. I've not seen 308's last that long, let along 300WM.

    6mm Tac Match cartridge comparisons

    Another 6x47 fan here. 41.7gr H4350 with 105H hybrids, 31" tube, 3220fps and not pressure signs. Going 800 rounds and primers are still tight (250 cases = over 3 firings per case).

    Decapping Die for .375CT/ST

    Hi, Does anyone know if there is a decapping die out there that will fit a 7/8" press and accept a 375 Snipetac case? I have the sinclair decapper which is super, but it's way too short for the 375 case. I decap before cleaning, so don't want to use the FL sizer I have to decap.

    Most capable .30 cal or 7mm S/A Chambering for ELR

    The 7mm-270WSM does fine at 1500y, just don't put a 20" barrel on there, you loose too much velocity.

    375 viersco magnum 2

    They make VM brass? Gotta get me some... They should clean the floor once in a while, but yes, with that brake and cartridge it might be a good investment.

    375 SnipeTac hangfires

    Dave, What I recall from dry firing (and I will check when I get home) is that is is crisp and quick "TACK!". It's a long bolt, so there is quite a bit of force when it goes off. he time between strike and ignition is always in the msec range, and always the same. On the 308 palma it varied a...
