    7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06

    Re: 7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06 Why would you pick a 300 mag over a 7mmWSM?The 7mmWSM walks all over the 300mag (ballistically),the 7mmWSM competes with cartridges like the 338 Lapua.I use to shoot a 300WM,then rechambered it to a 7MMWSM,because it is superior to most,if not all standard...

    7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06

    Re: 7mm short mag recoil vs. 30-06 I shoot a 7mmWSM with a brake on it,and I can literally shoot it all day long,with no issues.I have never shot it without a brake,so can't tell you what it's like with no brake.I would highly recomend putting a brake on whatever you decide,for the simple...

    How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding?

    Re: How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding? O.K.,the last post got me thinking about shooting at steep angles.Let's say you were shooting uphill,or downhill(on a pretty good angle),and you got your distance off Google earth,or a gps.Am I thinking right by saying you would not have to...

    How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding?

    Re: How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding? I would think ranging with an expensive rangefinder,like a PLRF10 would be the most accurate,but it will be a while before I can come up with the cash,so I have to settle for the next best thing.I will be shooting at steel,so I can go to the...

    How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding?

    Re: How accurate is Google Earth for rangefinding? Lindy, Will google earth and a handheld gps have the same accuracy,or will one be better than the other?I have both,so I will use which ever one is better.BTW,how close were your readings when you ranged using all 3 methods.
