    Barrel Cooler - Any good?

    My RifleKuhl (red one) broke after one day of use. I suppose I should have gotten 2 vs 1 so that it wouldn't be on for like 4 hours straight. The chamber chiller one I find is pretty weak and does not fit all that well in some ports. The barrel cooler (yellow) is OK, would be nice if it had...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    This got me thinking, what if I write a script to calculate the values for "How close 1/4 MOA is" vs "How close .1 MRAD is" for dialing elevation or making a correction for a specific POI value, and then put it in a loop and calculate it for all POI within a given range. The code basically does...

    Rifle Scopes Should We, Review Criteria

    This can be done by averaging the sub categories so each major category only can ever be a max of 5 or 10 or w.e and the overall score is adding up all the major categories. So you can add or remove sub categories and the weight of each one does not change. You can also change the weight of the...

    Rifle Scopes Should We, Review Criteria

    I am not sure facts should be submitted per user. For example, if I want to review S&B PMII 5-25x56 I should find it in a drop down and that should have the facts (weight, length, does/doesn't have zero stop, elevation/windage range etc). If it doesn't exist then you can click an option to...

    How much brass

    Are you asking about total brass per caliber? I think PRS shooters get more then say F Class or BR because in PRS you are likely to lose some brass over time. It also depends on the types of matches you go to. I only shoot local F Class matches so I need 66 rounds. 200 pieces of brass total...

    Advanced Marksmanship Fundamentals of Marksmanship.

    Not experience, just theory: Parallel and perpendicular might make it easier to be more repeatable as well as the force from your hand/finger will be more in line with the recoil.

    Techniques for Improving Precision

    The reticle shouldn't be moving that much (I am not a great shot because I suck at recoil management but my crosshairs are more or less still in prone with a rear bag and bipod). A video of you shooting would make it the easiest for people to help you. Even when I am doing things all wrong...

    AB Mobile zero atmosphere

    I understand that, I just wanted to play with the numbers so see how much of an effect it can have which is why I chose 1000 yard zero. But the numbers did not change so either I am doing something wrong or that feature is disabled but still appears on the screen. Noted. I'll need to refresh...

    AB Mobile zero atmosphere

    I don't see that in my app. I don't see a way to set it to DA either but according to the internet you can. Maybe I am just retarded.

    AB Mobile zero atmosphere

    I don't think Ballistics AE has a MV vs Temp function like AB does. Though the numbers did change when I gave it a 1000 yard zero and had the current atmospherics different from the zero atmospherics, thought I think it was only like .14 mils for a diff of like 25 degrees, not sure how correct...

    AB Mobile zero atmosphere

    It would be nice if it was available in DA but w.e. I enable zero atmosphere (I played around with google calcs and came up with 2000 DA can be replicated with 29.26 inHg, 75 deg F, 50% Humidity {Pressure is absolute is enabled}). I set my zero range to 1000 yards. I hit done. Click the Sierra...

    PRS Talk Tactical Class - Why?

    The biggest problem with coming up with rules is coming up with efficient ways to enforce them as well as a willingness to attempt to enforce them. Rifle weight. Some rifles it isn't that difficult to add weight to a rifle after an initial weigh-in, although adding a fuckload of weights would...

    Mils at 100 Meters?

    You could also have the shooter tell you how large the target is in Mils/moa, save a bit of time on that mental math.

    Ranging question

    I would just use: (Target height in inches * 27.77) / Height in mils = range to target in yards you can swap Height in mils and range to target in yards and get: 333.24 / (100, 200, 300, 400 etc) = height in mils In this hobby, it doesn't hurt to learn a bit of coding for python or excel...

    What are acceptable tolerances at each phase of reloading?

    Brass weight - sorting: Nope Primer pocket depth: Nope Shoulder bump: .002 measure every 10 cases and shouldn't be more than 1 thou off. Neck wall thickness: Nope Neck tension: -1 thou mandrel, needle shouldn't move past half a thou either direction but basically never measure this. Trim length...

    Shoulder bump?

    I feel like for this to work properly, you would need the die to be cut specifically to match your chamber. Otherwise, the die could size the brass if the die is too small or if the die is too large it might allow the case to bulge out under the pressure of resizing the neck and shoulder. But I...
