    225ELDM Redesigned

    Old lot #2170498 have almost 1600 of these & another lot down the tube. They were the same. New changed lot #2181102 just opened the 1st box of a 1000 pack & noticed the difference. I'm going to call Hornaday tomorrow about this. I've had professional waterproof data pages for these made 2...

    225ELDM Redesigned

    Did a quick test @ 1440yds & the new ones consistently hit .2-.3 mil higher all else being equal. Im going to test again & check mv too. I like better performance but wasn't expecting the change.

    225ELDM Redesigned

    Just opened a new lot of 225's & found that the boat tail is longer with a different angle. They're also .030" longer & average 225.5gr as weighed by my FX120i. Check this out.

    Just for grins I tried to open 4DOF today but it wanted me to sign in. Wouldn't accept my password. Last straw. Deleted it. Too bad. Like Trasol I think it had potential.

    4DOF changed

    True. Just a peeve of mine. And if I had to buy a new solver I just might get CB but since I'm still running FFS Delta 3 on my 3rd or 4th cheap pda & its still working I doubt I'll need to any time soon. I'm very happy with FFS but I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to the latest...

    4DOF changed

    I borrowed a buddies CB to try on a PDA for a while. Generally I liked it & was pretty accurate given that I only did some rough truing with it. My only real complaint was the 5yd increment built in. I prefer to enter the exact range & not have to split differences. I also tried Trasol for a...

    4DOF changed

    I trued both FFS & 4DOF last fall at the same time. Both have been accurate out to a mile but lately the 4DOF app has been predicting a flatter trajectory (like .5mil) & FFS is still the accurate one. I have triple & quadruple checked all my inputs &...

    4DOF changed

    I have Strelok pro as well as AB & Shooter. My go too has always been FFS but I've been dabbling in the others for some time. I thought 4DOF was doing very well after truing but since then I have seen it gradually get worse. A few weeks ago I posted in the angle fire thread that it was way off...

    4DOF changed

    My bullet is the 225 ELDM so its in the database. It used to be spot on with elevation but not too sure about windage. Also a few weeks ago I found its angle fire solutions to be suspect. Recently I see that the solutions at 0* are different. My go to has always been FFS & was using 4DOF as a...

    4DOF changed

    The 4DOF app is calling for dope up to .5mil lower than actual. FFS is still spot on. No I don't use powder temp on either system. I've changed nothing in the app & have gone through every setting a few times. I've found nothing changed in the app.

    Hunting Tripod

    I've been using this little one. Don't remember who i got it from. Its lightweight & as long as you don't extend it too far it's stable enough for the hunting rifle.

    3-5 rnd Cartridge loops

    Thanks for the offer but this morning I ordered a 6rnd & a pair of 2rnd from brown coat tactical. Maybe I can just cut off 1 or 2 without it all falling apart. If they don't work out i may look you up.

    3-5 rnd Cartridge loops

    I'm not having much luck in my search for a 3-5 rnd velcro backed cartridge loop for holding 338 WM while hunting. I want them to velcro to the strip in my new Kuiu hip belt pouches. Anyone know of such a thing? Thanks.

    Advanced Marksmanship High/Low Angle Shooting - When Do I need to worry about making an Angle Correction?

    You're welcome. I'm my AO I very rarely get to shoot at 0* angle or over flat ground. Usually shooting across canyons.

    Advanced Marksmanship High/Low Angle Shooting - When Do I need to worry about making an Angle Correction?

    Yeah I've been questioning the wind calculations too but like you said that's another story.

    Advanced Marksmanship High/Low Angle Shooting - When Do I need to worry about making an Angle Correction?

    I ran some numbers in 4DOF again & it's definitely not calculating angle fire correctly. Used my conditions from last time & changed only the angle. Showed 8.7 mil @ 0*. Said 8.3 mil @ -11* which was .5 mil off. Said 8.2mil @ -12* which has to be bs. A .1 mil change between-11* & -12* ? They...
