    Range Report Applied Ballistics Mobile now available for iPhone

    Bryan, Do the requested "Range 2" and "Range 3" distances look right to you for the ballistic calibration feature? They look far out to me for a .308 175 SMK. Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Gen II 4.5-27 This is it. This is the one!

    I've heard they have back-orders going out anywhere from another six months to a year.

    Hi Bryan, Thank you for your response. It is certainly possible that I missed some features. If so, I do apologize and I will retract my above statements. With regard to features, I would like a lot more data output. As much data as possible. For instance, markers for supersonic...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Mobile now available for iPhone

    I will preface this by saying that Applied Ballistics and Litz are of tremendous value to the industry. However, the app is a lot plainer than I expected. Frankly, for $30 I was expecting a ton more features. It does the same as cheaper apps and less than another app at the same price. Also, all...

    My mistake. I was picking the G1 profile instead of the "Litz" version. Does the app capture environmental factors like weather and direction of fire or does all that have to be inputted manually?

    I may have identified a problem. I picked 175 SMK from the bullet library and it says it's using G7, but I only see G1 numbers displayed below it. I'm new to AP so I might be missing something.

    Tab gear

    I've been looking forward to picking up a couple of your AICS mag pouches, but other expenses keep getting in the way. After reading this, I understand that the price justified. I will make it happen when I can spare the cash.

    Xlr chassis system. Tell me your thoughts

    I have the evolution. It's a great chassis. My only criticism is that I would like a flat back buttpad option for it.

    Atlas Bi-Pod Junk???

    I have a notched 6-9 Harris from Larue with the Larue QD mount. It is in excellent condition, as it has seen very little use. I would gladly trade with anyone here for a second Atlas with QD in similar condition.

    Range Report Collecting DOPE to True Ballistic Calculators w/ Angled Shots? Will data be flawed?

    Correct. I guess I'll use the match to the confirm predictions of the software. I'll have to collect data to true (if necessary) at a future time.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone ever noticed re-torquing rings changing zero?

    That would be my preference, but it doesn't appear I will have an opportunity to check zero. For perspective, however, I'm shooting steel while people carefully peer through spotting scopes. I'm not going to war. Still, I would hate to be missing because of it. I think I'll exercise a little...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone ever noticed re-torquing rings changing zero?

    I re-torqued my rings since my last time out and I have competition this Saturday. Should I be concerned about a shift in my zero? The screws seemed like they were already torqued down pretty well, but chances are they moved slightly.

    Range Report Collecting DOPE to True Ballistic Calculators w/ Angled Shots? Will data be flawed?

    That was precisely my concern. It seems to me that using angled shot DOPE might be inherently flawed for the purpose of truing common ballistic software. Thank you for the information.

    Range Report Collecting DOPE to True Ballistic Calculators w/ Angled Shots? Will data be flawed?

    My concern is that none of my ballistic calculators seem to factor in other data for calibration. The only thing they seem to require is range and elevation. That's why I'm wondering how to use the from the angled shot, if at all.

    Range Report Collecting DOPE to True Ballistic Calculators w/ Angled Shots? Will data be flawed?

    I have a long range competition coming up this weekend. My primary goal is to collect dope on my new handloads for the purpose of truing my Kestrel w/ AB and some other iPhone ballistic calculators I use. However, it occurred to me that while there will be quite a few targets at varying ranges...

    Neck sizing and expanding for neck turning

    You might be unnecessarily overworking the neck. More experienced reloaders will know better than I do.

    I have to agree here. Peacemaker is a top notch range.
