    6.5x284 with h1000 vs 6.5saum

    I've had great success with H1000. It's all I use for my 6mm AI. --- aim small miss small ---

    G1 or G7?

    You know, the world looks flat from where I stand. My real world daily activities do not prove to me that it could be round. Therefor I will stick to my opinion that it is flat. And I will harass and insult anyone who proposes otherwise.... --- aim small miss small ---

    G1 or G7?

    Up till now I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually knew what a BC was and how its calculated. Alas I can't believe that anymore. I've not doubt you are an experienced shooter and could likely outshoot me but have you ever actually considered reading anything about it? I...

    G1 or G7?

    I can completely relate to geeking out about guns... Hence why I asked for the McCoy ballsitics book for Christmas one year. It will be interesting to see the results of this test. I've not used the Iphone ballsitic AE program, but you mentioned it has the Litz published BC's with it? I use...

    G1 or G7?

    Hm. I dont recall ever telling you that G1 doesn't work. Only that the drag profile shape of the G7 would be closer to that of your HPBT bullet therefor will give you a better prediction of drop. But I also stated that the differences in drop are minor and likely to be masked by other errors in...

    G1 or G7?

    More power to ya. The tried and true method for gathering data. For those interested in the science like I am, I re-found a great summary of the G1/G7 topic from Berger: http://www.bergerbullets.com/a-better-ballistic-coefficient/

    G1 or G7?

    Yes I agree, don't believe internet hype. Check out the facts for yourself, here are the sources I've learned from: www.appliedballisticsllc.com/articles.htm Book: Applied Ballistics for long range shooters -Litz Book: Modern Exterior Ballistics -McCoy And many more but those are the top 3...

    G1 or G7?

    What would really be useful is Cd/mach curves for some of the actual long range bullets out there today. Much thanks to Litz for the testing he published which gave us the next best thing. Good replies on the differences, I wasn't even considering the accuracy of the custom G1 curves in my...

    Humility based request

    Bacon, I lived in Utah when I first got into long range. Brad Stair of Wasatch Precision built my first gun. I highly recommend him. Pretty sure he is now the smith for Cross Canyon Arms in Ogden, UT. He built me a 6mm AI. It's a tack driver still. If I could start all over I would stick with...

    G1 or G7?

    Hm. I see another game of semantics being played. Is the G7 more accurate? ... Depends on what you mean by accurate. The G7, G1, sphere, and many other "standard" bullets are just a baseline drag vs mach curve. The BC scales your current bullet to the standard bullets drag profile to extract a...

    G1 or G7?

    Hm, that is odd. Well since G7 and G1 are like apple's and oranges, its hard to scale back and forth. I would guess that the G1 BC is just inflated so its way off the mark. I would just trust the G7 from Litz. I've not tested the .308s but the 6mm BC's from him are giving me first round hits on...

    G1 or G7?

    For all boat tail rifle bullets the G7 is the way to go. Try googling the dimensions for the G1 and G7 bullets, you'll see that they have flat base and boat tail base respectively. The thing that's the hardest to get right is the BC, whichever standard bullet you choose. What BC did you punch...

    Subsonic load for .308 Win

    Read about a trick but haven't tried it in my subsonic .308s yet: load SMK's backwards. Ha! It actually makes perfect sense. Pretty much all long range bullets have Cp in front of cg which is aerodynamically unstable. But the twist stabilizes them gyroscopicly. They have to be pointy to reduce...

    Neck Turning before or after case cleaning?

    I usually just brush the inside of the necks before turning, just to get any dust or giblets out of the way. I'm a paranoid neck brusher. It happens before seating bullets too. --- aim small miss small ---

    1000 Yard Velocity

    I always had the best results with the 175 matchking when I shot .308. Only shot 600 yards but was performed well. --- aim small miss small ---

    M40a1 modifications

    800 yards is a looooong ways in hunting conditions. I've hit many a steel plate at that range and beyond (albeit not with .308 ) but would never take a cold bore hunting shot at those ranges. Maybe 600-700 IF conditions were perfect and I'd shot in that area before. Anywho, if I had to kill a...

    Strange primer indent

    Yep. Seen that when the hole for the firing pin is too big. Not too uncommon on older guns. --- aim small miss small ---
