    Advanced Marksmanship AMMO how much ?

    If the wind is pretty consistent with no major challenges, 1-3 shots per yard line just to validate dope prior to a competition. If the wind is acting squirrely and doing interesting things, I'll save up and not shoot much up close, and spend 12-20 rounds at the 1K line for the practice in the...

    Chase Elliot

    I thought it was interesting that Chase wouldn't even blame Allmendinger for that blatant wreck yesterday. Looked to me like Allmendinger was being his usual self (IMHO), can't pass someone clean, so he has to try to move them out of the way to get by, and if they wreck, "Eh, so what?" (Remember...

    Dale Jr, announces this is his last season.

    Sad to hear that Junior's leaving, and at the same time I'm happy for him. Got to race, win some stuff, he has a huge fan base, he has lots of options open to him. He does pretty good in the announcer's booth, maybe Mike Joy or Darryl Waltrip are thinking about retiring some day. Honestly I...

    Advanced Marksmanship 21 Dot Drill: what is a good run? Post pics of an "average" dot drill for you

    A couple of years back when I was just getting started and was trying to work on my fundamentals, I would shoot at 1/4" dots, because I felt I got better visual feedback on what was happening while I was shooting. 1/4" dots are very hard to spot though - those things are tiny. It also made 1"...

    Movie Theater Enders game

    My daughter (15) and I watch that movie from time to time. Very interesting concepts. I do think the producers took the whole "know your enemy" thing a bit to the extreme at the end, as Rerun7 alluded to. Otherwise it was still a good movie to watch and we like it.

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    OK, I'm going to tell on myself a little bit here... I went back to the Hornady website to try and figure out exactly what happened and why I couldn't see my precious 140 ELD-M's, and I uncovered what transpired. Let me begin by saying that it was COMPLETELY my fault, and there never was...

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    Thanks Rob. Glad to hear the 140 isn't going anywhere. It's my go-to bullet. It was very strange indeed to go to the website and NOT see the 140's. I even re-loaded the website twice to make sure I hadn't missed something or messed something up accidentally. Good discussion on the 147 though...

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    Well, no - We're all talking about the 140 ELD-M and 147 ELD-M (M for Match). These are both match-grade bullets that are not designed for hunting.

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    That's the million dollar question on the table. Ideally, the 147 ELD-M with its higher G1 BC of .697 vs the 140 ELD-M's G1 BC of .646 would mean that the 147's would perform better in the wind - meaning that the 147 would require less horizontal correction than the 140 in the exact same wind...

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    Was that 2755 from factory or handloads? I was afraid that I'd lose a lot of speed like that due to the heavier projectile, and the performance would drop. (My 140's are at 2870 <43.2g H4350 w/26" barrel>) Based on that speed (2755), the 147 will require 0.2 MIL more elevation, but would be 0.1...

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    Strange. The 140 ELD-M didn't populate the day when I was looking (which is what prompted this post). Now that you've mentioned it and I go back and look again, now it's there. Not sure. I shoot the 140 with great success, so I'm glad it's still available, however after looking at the 147 it...

    Range Report Anyone tried the new Hornady 6.5 147 ELD-M vs 140 ELD-M

    So I noticed on the Hornady website that the 140g ELD-M is no longer offered, and now there appears to be a new (to me?) 147g ELD-M I'm assuming to replace it? Has anyone tried them yet and have a range report? Powder Valley shows them being the same price as the 140's so that's good. Guess...
