    Is it me or the rifle? 6.5cm accuracy...

    For what it is worth, you might try the Eagle Eye or Hornady ammunition. I shoot the standard JP LRP-07 with a 22" barrel, and it will print .5 MOA groups using the Eagle Eye 130 gr and 140 gr Berger hybrid rounds. it shoots the Hornady 140 gr ELD-M not quite as well, maybe .75 MOA. That...

    Ranges on Long Island, New York

    Will be spending some time on Long Island over the next year and wanted to ask for any recommendations for rifle and pistol ranges there. I shoot PRS matches and am getting involved in IDPA and USPSA, so suggestions for either or both are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Forensic assistance requested re "shots fired" in Chicago

    The shooter might be a USPSA grand master given these stats: through Sunday night, Sept 13, there were year to date 2,991 people shot in Chicago, of which 500 killed. That rounds to about 88 people shot per week, or 12.5 per day. In a couple of the wards, 1% of the residents have been shot...

    Forensic assistance requested re "shots fired" in Chicago

    I hadn't seen that, thank you. In that case, the firing cadence was pretty good. The splits between shots vary only a little.

    Forensic assistance requested re "shots fired" in Chicago

    Watch almost no television. Asked the question because the Chicago PD thinks it wasn't gun shots, not obvious what else it would be. As to kind of firearm, the obvious guess was a semi auto pistol, but the cadence of shots is very regular, which suggests either a very practiced shooter --...

    Forensic assistance requested re "shots fired" in Chicago

    A friend sent this article to me. The link includes a video in which at time stamp 13 seconds or so and running to time stamp 18 seconds or so can be heard 16 "shots fired." As you will see in the article, local patrol cops called this in, as, not surprisingly, did a few people who live in the...

    Rifle Scopes Magnifier, mount recommendation

    It is a Gen 2. A friend has the Gen 1 and we have been puzzling over the same question of which magnifier to use for his rig.

    Rifle Scopes Magnifier, mount recommendation

    Trying to figure out, but confused by the data on the web sites, this question: which 3X magnifier and mount will properly align with a Trijicon MRO on a Trijicon 1/3 co-witness mount? Been through the rinse cycle once and still can't make sense of the options. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

    Any reason to stick with a boltgun for .308/6.5CM?

    I shoot a 6.5CM bolt gun, chambered by Spartan Rifles and a 6.5CM JP LRP-07. I reload for the bolt gun, use Eagle Eye for the JP. The Spartan is a quarter minute rifle running 140 Berger hybrids, the JP is a half minute rifle with the older Eagle Eye 130 gr rounds. The JP shoots those rounds...

    Sticky fabric used on Game Changers....

    Another good idea, thank you. The industry keeps this sticky fabric secret better than we protect our nuclear secrets as a country. Maybe we should have Armageddon Gear run the nuclear program.

    Sticky fabric used on Game Changers....

    Hadn't heard about Otter Wax, appreciate the link.... As to the technique issue.... No doubt I can always improve there, but the additional friction of a sticky pad of some kind is a help, pure and simple. The high power shooting jackets have that feature for a reason. The sticky GameChanger...

    Sticky fabric used on Game Changers....

    Thank you. I am using Crye field pants, which have a pretty hard rubber/plastic pad at the knee. My tricep doesn't slide much, but it does want more traction on that surface. The rubber elbow pad on a Creedmoor shooting jacket just locks onto that surface, but that jacket isn't workable for...

    Sticky fabric used on Game Changers....

    Any ideas what this material is and where to find it? I want to sew some onto elbow pads to improve traction/grip when shooting kneeling and sitting positions.

    Gasgun load in 6,5 Creedmoor

    Noob! What am I doing wrong?

    The question is too open ended to provide a simple reply. You should check: -- Scope zeroed at 100 yards? If yes, is that how you have it set up in the ballistics calculator? -- Have you set the scope height over bore at the correct level? Just looking at the image would imagine is should be...

    Recoil management

    Couple of things to consider. You may be loading the bipod too heavily. All you are trying to do there is take the slack out of the bipod, not anchor the rifle. Use the amount of pressure that you can feel when slightly pressing your fingers into your shoulder pocket, as if you were taking...

    Shooting sling wishlist?

    Although it adds to the cost, since you have to get two products... I use a TIS quick cuff and SAP sling together. Remove/cut off the female connector on the SAP sling, leaving the male connector in place as it comes with the sling; slide the female connector onto a TIS quick cuff, and you are...

    22LR twist rate

    A little late to this thread, two questions that might bear on the outcome of the twist rate: One, would the faster twist (9 or whatever the best number ends up being) be improved with a longer barrel -- 26 inches for example? Or is barrel length likely only to impact velocity? I guess my...
