    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    It'd be a nice opportunity for them to ship over a product that's actually supposed to have lead in it, for a change.

    20" 300wsm Load

    Here's are a few spreads I shot with my 18" 300 WSM when starting load work with 200gr ELDx, 168gr E-tip and 165gr TGK over RL-16 and Staball 6.5. I was impressed with how well Staball 6.5 worked in the WSM, also in a 17" .280 ai for that matter.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    No, he's exactly right, and this word salad is wrong on many levels. Comparing Hornady to Walmart is the commercial equivalent of comparing any political group I don't like to Nazis, stupid. Unless the private equity and foreign owned bullet makers have enforceable IP on the shape of their...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    Some of these brigands are duplicating not just one but two esteemed designs and bragging about it in their website copy! How could they knock off poor old Salvage and Big Groan like that! Address the market properly or get scooped, it doesn't get much more American than that.

    Short barrel cartridges

    Who cares about MPBR, this isn't a 25-06 with a duplex on top? In Wyoming a better question is "what is the drift in full value 20 mph breeze at 400 yds", aka any given Tuesday in October/November.

    Subsonic hunting

    This is my take too, pistol bullets are much cheaper in general than heavy for caliber rifle bullets. Basic HPs start out much wider are more likely to be in their expansion window @ 1,050 fps without out having to buy premium purpose built designs. I really like my 44/77 and Henry X, plan on...

    Short barrel cartridges

    Another good option, my 19" 7PRC is topping out around 2,800 fps with Ramshot Grand and 175gr ELDx, 160gr class could of course be pushed faster.

    Short barrel cartridges

    I'm not I'm not being pedantic, I'm saying I've tried what you're theorizing about, and the equivalencies and generalities you're throwing out as facts are wrong. I'm saying I've found the real world difference between top end .308 and .30-06 loads is usually closer to150fps, not the 50fps...

    Short barrel cartridges

    I would say it's an assumption, it's not based on data, data is measured, it's based on the outputs of modeling software that you haven't trued or validated. It could be accurate or way off for the .30-06, you don't know because you don't have any actual data for the '06 to see how your model is...

    Short barrel cartridges

    This is a common assumption in these threads, but in my experience isn't true. I've had .308's at 16", 18", 20" and 22" and .30-06s at 18.5" and 22", and loaded for all of them, with optimal loads in both .30-06 has always maintained about the same lead in short and long barrels. Whether that...

    Rifle Scopes MK5 HD 2-10x new reticles coming?

    I just bought the FFP version of this scope to take the place of a Helos 2-12 that shit the bed twice. With the relatively simple TMR reticle and illumination, it looks good on low and high power to me, although I agree with the principle that for a 2.5-10x, the reticle holdovers are mostly only...

    338 ARC

    Well that's interesting, I watched a couple of the videos last night and heard them say that the .338 supers would be a little slower than 300 supers, but didn't catch a velocity. My real subsonic hunting setups for this year are a cut and threaded 77/44 and a Henry X with 305gr cast hps and...

    338 ARC

    Looks like a better mouse trap for what I'd use it for than the 8.6. It's usable in an AR-15, doesn't have a corkscrew speed twist that limits you to only the most expensive bullets. I'm sure the super load is going to be slow, I'd be surprised if it breaks 2k, but the sub load might merit a...

    Riflespeed or Superlative for running suppressed?

    I use the superlative in most of my suppressed ARs, and I'm my opinion it seems to run somewhat cleaner in bleed off mode than my restriction type gas blocks. It's also easier for me to find a setting that is tolerable when suppressed and still functions unsuppressed in bleed off mode. I find...

    SOLD FS/FT Athlon Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 FFP Mil

    SOLD For sale is a new in box, never mounted Athlon Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 FFP scope with the APRS6 mil reticle. I have only taken this scope out of the box and installed the battery to look at the illumination (looks very good), it has never been mounted or used. This scope is nice, but a bit...

    Having trouble using the site?

    I purchased a supporter subscription on Sept 30 and while Snipershide.tv shows me as a supporter, my forum account still shows free and I cannot post in the PX. Submitted a few contact request and logged out and back in. The last couple times I purchased the supporter status it was automatic, is...

    How did you get fixed up, did you do anything special? Mine hasn't changed.

    Purchased Supporter Upgrade

    I'm in the exact same situation except I purchased on the morning of the 30th. Snipershide.tv shows my account as supporter, but in the forum my account still shows as the free account and I can't post in the PX. I've submitted a support request on the site but haven't heard back. The last times...

    Cannot Upgrade Account and Report Issue Function Not Working

    I'm having somewhat of a similar issue where I purchased the subscription/upgrade on the snipershide.tv site, my account shows as supporter there, but has not updated on the forum and still shows as a free membership 3 days later. The last couple times I paid for the upgrade it was automatic...

    Inexpensive silencer cover

    Don't know what Amazon covers you're buying, but the Mechanix one I linked is $12, not $30, and it's not made of the melty stuff, except for the nylon tag which some morons have apparently forgotten to pull out before using. I have two and have gotten them quite hot, I'm not guessing about...
