    Cartridge Selection Help Requested

    I fully acknowledge the value of "get a 308 first" mindset. BUT The other option you have not considered is a factory Savage target/precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmore. Savage rifles are GTG right of the box They are relatively inexpensive the 6.5 kicks the 308's ass past 600 with...

    My Schmidt does this - I called and they stated that "It was within spec"

    Catching primers

    This is one of the reasons I tend to favor Redding - the tube catch method is pretty slick.

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

    Just put one of the angle or cosine indicators on your rifle. I use an angle indicator because that's what my Iphone ap needs as an input. My geometry is a little rusty, but the cosine factor is multplied by the your dope. So if your dope is 10.0 mils at a given distance, and your cosine...

    Advanced Marksmanship How do you flesh-out your DOPE from the few known ranges you have?

    I'm guessing that his hit data may be from different days or not on paper (was it a basketball hoop and a tennis ball?) and like you said, a weather station 40 miles away. If one can get solid data and several ranges (let's say, 500, 800 and 1,000) on paper and accurate atmospherics, it's...

    Advanced Marksmanship My best way to a ballistic firing solution

    I have the Horus, just becuase the Applied Ballistics hadn't come out yet, and don't feel a compelling need to change. But yes, the kestrell accounts for the atmospherics and adjusted your pre-loaded ballistic data for your particular cartridge. It can handle several different ones. You can...

    Advanced Marksmanship My best way to a ballistic firing solution

    I'll jump ahead to the end of the line...the Kestrell with the Litz or Horus is that cat's ass when it comes to figuring this stuff out. I've shot from 0 DA to 14,000 DA and my elevation calls are dead on or within a click or 2. At the 2013 SH Cup in WY, the DA was around 9,000 (I usually...

    Chargemaster Mod

    Speed Up Your RCBS ChargeMaster within AccurateShooter.com Lots of guys go into the programming and rearrange the timing of the speed intervals. Does save time.

    Opinions on building a "different" LR rifle

    Anything that will lob a 6.5 140 grain bullet over 2800 fps at less than 1/2 MOA is a winner. No reason that set up wouldn't work.

    7mm-08

    When you say "hunting rifle" are you talking a 7 pound sporter looking to medium sized game out to 400 yards or so? If that's the case, any off the shelf brass would be fine. For that type of rifle, sub-1/2 MOA precision is not necessary. I have a t/c encore in 7-08 that I shoot 140...

    Chargemaster Mod

    Member MDM is selling these in the for sale section - These slide into the tube of the Chargemaster and supposedly improve upon other mods, such as the McDonald's straw. I run 2 Chargemasters and seat bullets in between throws, alternating between pans. I use the McDonald's straw trick with...

    Advanced Marksmanship How do you flesh-out your DOPE from the few known ranges you have?

    I was able to get close, but just don't have the tools to post it right now. You are at over 5,000 feet and over 100 degrees. These are fairly extreme conditions. When you run your program, be sure to get that data in ther as well as the baro. A lot of programs default to "standard...

    Advanced Marksmanship How do you flesh-out your DOPE from the few known ranges you have?

    Hit me with some data points and lets see how it tracks with what I can come up with.

    Advanced Marksmanship How do you flesh-out your DOPE from the few known ranges you have?

    So what you're saying is my calculations, using 2 different programs, using your bullet and known speed correcly replicates your confirmed data, however, you are unable to replicate these results with your program?
