    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    I think there is because they offer a G7 BC which is a better model for most modern match bullets.... Plus you are using data collected/calculated by the guy who wrote the book on the subject!

    Range Report Took my new(ish) custom .260 to 1k yesterday

    So, my 260 build done by Mike Badella in Madera, Ca. finally got to run a bit yesterday. I took it to an even 1,000 yards and collected my needed dope for that distance, "Shooter" was off .2 mils... Once I was consistently on center of a 16"x24" plate, I went down and repainted the target. The...

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    Wow, there seems to be some confusion here...... 6.8 mils was the needed dope for a 140 Berger VLD (.612 BC) launched from a 23" Kreiger 5R at 2875 fps with a 100 yard zero to 933 yards..... The soft nose hunting bullets were subsonic at that distance at that elevation on that given day...

    RL-17 (Alliant) for 6.5 Creedmoor

    Check out RL22 as well. In my .260 I'm pushing a 140 VLD at 2875 from a 23" Kreiger with 46.4 grains (.2 grains UNDER book max), no pressure signs at all to 90* temps.... So far out to 600 yards is has been shooting in the .3's. I tried 4350 and 4831sc but the accurracy and velocities were not...

    Rifle Scopes New scope for .260

    Let me add, I was shooting 1185 yard at a B-21 silhouette target and had NO problems at 1185 yards. I actually continued shooting well past dusk by the light of the full-ish moon. The target was not completly visible, but with the black silhouette against the white back drop I was able to...

    Rifle Scopes New scope for .260

    I'm going to have to be the dissenter here..... I have had NF and Mark 4's. I ended up selling my NF and replaced it with another Mark 4, main reason was that I have 20/10 vision and the I could see the flaws in the NF that were not apparent in the Leupolds..... Now, I just picked up a Mark 6...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32

    What barrel is that? It looks like a DD S2W, if so, how's it shoot? I just put a DMR type build together using that barrel but have only shot 62 grainers through it.... Getting 1.5 MOA with cheap winchester soft points, but will be doing load development with the heavies this weekend.

    Coyote Brown question

    Check out http://bmgunworks.com/ There is an AR15 on the website which was done in the Patriot Brown. I have the Eberlestock Gunslinger in Coyote Brown and I think it is a pretty close match. If you still don't think so, contact Kevin at B&M Gunworks, he does all the Cerakote work for the...

    Rifle Scopes Where did your NightForce fall short?

    Re: Where did your NightForce fall short? I had two mark 4's prior to my first NF. I bought a 3.5-15x50 and expected it to be the "shit" from all the hype on this forum. My first complaint was the quality of glass. Looking through it everything seemed dim and two dimensional. I have VERY good...

    Hunting & Fishing SHOW YOUR BASS PIC

    Re: SHOW YOUR BASS PIC I'm gonna dig this thread up from the depths of time with an updated pic. These two were caught on swimbaits, back to back on a point. This was my 11 year old son's personal best, caught pre spawn this year using a jig in 35 feet of water. And this is a pair my...

    Hunting & Fishing california blacktail questions

    Re: california blacktail questions All good advise so far, but I would add; check out the zones which border Yosemite NP (D7 & D6) and Kings Canyon NP (D8). Scout for activity during bow season or the week before general season opens. Your best bets are to concentrate on areas within a couple...
