    26 pound 375 CT Recoil

    Thank you for the heads up... I've seen Chuck Hawks, but I'll check out Gordons. The 39ftlbs doesn't sound terrible, and I thought the 338 was in the mid 30's though, but depends on the values of the parameters entered. Thanks, Scott

    26 pound 375 CT Recoil

    I have all the pieces to build a 33XC or a 338 LM on a BAT CT 1.47" action with a Manners ELR light stock with a 1.45" barrel blank, and I saw a BAT CT Cheytac bolt available for sale, and I was curious about the recoil of the 375CT... It would weigh about 26 pounds. I have put 250 rounds...

    Manners ELR light stock and rear bag choice

    Yep, that's right... I was told by one smith that builds lots of ELR rifles, that the mod bb is a crapshoot, and might only get 200 rounds on a 416 Barrett, and another that builds a ton of ELR rifles that he didn't want to cut the mod bb barrel. Scott

    Manners ELR light stock and rear bag choice

    Hey, awesome, yes, I have seen these, and will probably get one for the Manners ELR light build. Yes that's right, has a new design with rabbit ears to help with tracking. I would want to make sure I can still get a mil or two elevation change without having to pump or deflate the bag. I do...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7 - 35 X 56, new hotness in hand

    Bill, no need to apologize, you do so much research for this site, and there is a huge wealth of info because of you. Thanks for the long story short about the 7-35x. I'll have to check it out now. The biggest drawback, besides the price, is needing 36mm rings or a mount, but I guess that...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7 - 35 X 56, new hotness in hand

    I have a Kahles 6-24i and like it a lot, but kind of written Kahles off after buying TT 5-25 and S&B, but the specs on the new 3-28x are very compelling. I'll have to go to Eurooptic and add another optic to the side by side. Thanks, Scott

    Lapua Ammo Lot numbers, most important numbers to match up

    Exactly, the velocity is what I used to buy two different bricks and they both shot as well as the first lot. 3 lots, same velocity, and I'm very happy with how they all shot. Scott

    Lapua Ammo Lot numbers, most important numbers to match up

    So I originally got lucky and found a lot of the Lapua Long range that shot well, about 1 MOA at 100 yards. That was after trying Center-X, and a few different SK. (red, tan, and yellow boxes) and Midas+ Of course as we all know, the frustration of looking for more of the same lot, and not...

    So… Philadelphia…

    I've been there on a few Sundays over the past few years, so not a huge sample, but it wasn't super busy. There are plenty of benches at the 1000 yard and 500 yard lines. If you need to setup targets, or paint targets, just ask everyone to go cold to go down range to do what you need to do...

    So… Philadelphia…

    Alex, What distances does Black Bear have club steel set up at? Are there covered benches or is it all prone? How close to the shooting benches is parking? I've seen some pics from the ELR matches there, but was curious about the range setup. Thanks again, Scott

    New Holland is excellent, and more difficult to become a member. Sign up for Mason Dixon PRS on Facebook if you want to shoot PRS matches at New Holland and a couple other spots. Scott

    Lapua Ammo Lot numbers, most important numbers to match up

    Yes, I was thinking that finding exact same lot numbers would be very difficult. I bought 4x 50 round boxes to try and about 3 days later, that lot was sold out. I did find lots that matched the first 8 numbers, so I was wondering if that's close enough to give good results, or I'll find out...
