    Looking for a long range class?

    Re: Looking for a long range class? On a similar track to the OP's question, does anyone think it might prove useful to have an ELR Forum "sticky" as to what and where the ELR ranges are in the U.S. ? With this information additional info could be added as to which ranges run training...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions What powder do you use then in the .338/.408 ? Do you still go for a full case capacity ?

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Looking at your group at a mile which was sub MOA using a lighter load of BMG ... I would have to agree with you Augustus. It is a shame to pass up on velocity but I see your point about the air gap in the round if 150g is 100% case capacity. The difference in...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions The 145g of 869 with a 16 fps spread and 2958 fps as the average looks to be a good load to work with ... The BMG load has lower E.S.'s but a fair bit lower velocity... If 869 can retain a 16fps average E.S. or even a 16fps S.D. then that looks to be close to...

    Unexplained Velocity Change

    Re: Unexplained Velocity Change LOL ... It's badly worded I grant you ... what I meant was have a 100 yard set of tunnels for guys to calibrate their scopes ... chrono their rounds ... check their E.S.'s and then go out and be able to shoot at ELR ... A "one stop" range facility so to speak...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Augustus, I am not sure you made a mistake. Allowing for both rounds being shot at the same locations I think, as you say, that the faster lighter bullet is simply keeping pace with the slower heavier one out to that particular distance. Because the heavier bullet...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions On the issues raised about barrel twists and how or whether gain twist technology or straight twist technology will dominate the performance at ELR ... my own thoughts are that a gain twist assists in mitigating "torque" created in the rifle when the bullet is...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Looking at what Agustus has mentioned above in testing the C.E. 425G bullet at 960 yards with a 10 degree up hill inclined angle, which will need less elevation than shooting at 5 degrees up hill inclination for the same distance ( i.e. 960 yards ) ... then...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions I don't think Andre ( Master Diver ) is trying to tease here ... he has sent me a few PM's about what he uses and basically tried to help me. His home range is 700m and he shoots the 355g out of a 1-10.5 with good results. 700m is too close for me to afford the...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Yes I agree Augustus ... I don't really have a preference for fast and light or slow and heavy ... in my case it is just wanting to use what I already have ... and enjoying the challenges of ELR ... It's all good fun !

    F T/R Competition Any Long Range High Master F T/R shooters ?

    Re: Any Long Range High Master F T/R shooters ? To answer the OP's question ... if you check the 2011 F/TR National results you can see a number of HM shooters mentioned ... Jeff Rorer who won it was the first I saw but going down the list there seems to be many. You can find the results...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Rocky Mountain, I am all for going with what "works" ... but Augustus results with his Gain Twist barrel are really the only detailed group results I have seen on the cutting edge bullets ... your post seems to indicate a tighter twist might be in order on your...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions Looking at his technical data ... the 330g bullet would work in my LRB 1-11.5 twist ... anyone tried these out yet in a similar barrel ?

    Unexplained Velocity Change

    Re: Unexplained Velocity Change The "tunnel" ranges are not really "underground tunnels" ... these are made by using pre-formed concrete drainage pipes for highway construction ... basically joined together for 100 yards with a hut at either end. One for the back stop and to put up targets...

    Unexplained Velocity Change

    Re: Unexplained Velocity Change Scope variables! Well that has caught me out too ... and I agree it is hard to fully check out a scope ... you can do the basics from an anchored steady position as you have done ( and I do to ) just to check the tracking is consistant and also to see if the...

    Unexplained Velocity Change

    Re: Unexplained Velocity Change The only way to work these things out is "elimination" of variables ... you don't say how much extra velocity would be needed to account for the elevation change ... nor do you say what terrain you were shooting over ... nor the time of day or how warm it was...

    .375 Cheytac questions

    Re: .375 Cheytac questions That's "good precision" on just 17x at a mile ... I thought probably more power ... but getting back on topic a little more ... have you had any other .375 projectiles which have delivered sub 1 MOA at a mile ?
