    IDB & ACTS release AQC -Density Alt. Cards

    What about more .30 cal 155s? Just as suggestion, Sierra Palma 2155/Nosler CC155grs are my favourite... ;) I´m printing my own DA range cards from JBM, but would buy your cards without second thought.

    Winter Shooting Sako TRG-22 and Observations on Gear

    I must admit I enjoyed the pictures the most; great write-up, too, thanks for sharing!

    Range Report Received my new Magneto Speed V2 yesterday

    For those having experience with both, is V2 a necessary upgrade over the V1, or is the V1 fine with thinner bbls?

    Barrel Nodes

    The closest the "nodes" are linked to is a function of muzzle velocity and pressure, that is if you´re referring to the OBT concept. The notes consider the time it takes for the bullet from the ignition to leave the bore. MV alone is not enough, since different loads speed up to the same...

    Range Report POI zero shift with different load

    Indeed it does, Greg... if there is an opportunity. My nearest range is 1,5hrs drive, I can get there only on some weekends and that´s only 100m. I´m regularly travelling 500+ km to shoot long range. And that is the real deal behind the question - if there were a way to do the maths instead of...

    610 yards cold bore shot

    Awesome! Love it when you can watch the vapor trail mark the bullet´s trail all the way to its target, very satisfying :)

    PGM Ultima Ratio 308w . first impressions

    So that locking piece actually works like a quick-change bushing? that´s ingenious, i had no idea what a smart solution they´ve employed there :)

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Practical question: When defining a round, I can input "ZERO OFFSET". I understand this that I can input like 5" high and 1" left at 100y, allowing me to not re-adjust the scope between differend loads and instead adjusting by software computation for a single referencing POA, correct? I would...

    PGM Ultima Ratio 308w . first impressions

    Considering you apparently have at least one barrel off the rifle at the moment, would you mind terribly making a picture of the chamber face area (locking lugs)? I´m realy curious of their design.

    My first Custom, how bad did I screw up?

    Are you going to actually shoot it, or do you intend to make your friends drool to the death first? Looks sturdy, well done really.

    PGM Ultima Ratio 308w . first impressions

    The receiver is Aluminium, correct? I´m completely in love with the looks of that rifle alone, too bad they´re so scarce.

    precision rifles... show em

    courtier: They are indeed. The one in my picture is actually made by Roedale, and is their 2" wide variant. I know SAKO has their own for TRG rifles ans SIG used to deliver one, too. In general - hard material is best, but worse at transport. Cordura with a bit of elastic works best for me. A...

    precision rifles... show em

    courtier: Sure the band works, especially in rapid fire strings that heat the barrel up fast combined with the cold weather we have now - the mirage over the barrel would otherwise be realy annoying.

    TRG-22 + new Steiner Military 5-25 = falling in love all over again

    Is that target downloadable anywhere? Me like :)

    Range Report POI zero shift with different load

    It´ll need repeating for sure; this is what I have now. Graham, this was not two groups shot separately, no change of position etc.; all I did was shoot at the same point and work the bolt. I shot them in one string loaded as pair/impair numbers in the mag. Result = two .5" groups 14cm apart...

    Range Report POI zero shift with different load

    Yes, I am still talking the above-referred cartridges. Loaded 3 of each back-to-back in one mag (1 slowe, 1 faster, 1 slower...) and shot them in one string on one POA. Measured 14cm difference between the groups at 100m. Seems barrel harmonics play even bigger role than I wanted to admit; in...

    Range Report POI zero shift with different load

    Verified reality = the faster load hitting 1.4MIL higher. No difference in windage.

    precision rifles... show em

    Works in progress; still figuring out a mounting option for the bipod to put it further forward and closer to the bbl. Already a keeper, though.

    Could that be just left alone like a family jewel on a fireplace? :)

    Savage Bolt Head Damaged on my brand new rifle...take a look

    It may not be a bearing surface, but it definitely looks like if someone dropped it. May not be a functional issue, but sucks on a new purchase...
