    Rifle Sabots

    Back in the early 90s the M1 main gun was a 105 rifled gun. Right about the time of the first desert fight we re-tubed the inventory to the 120 smooth bore. Both guns are a fin stabilized projectile. I was told back Then that the 105 was more accurate than the 120, for what ever that’s worth...

    Rifle Sabots

    There is slso a 50cal SLAP penetrator with a tungsten core. I've got one of the cores rolling around here somewhere that I picked up off of the range at Lake City.

    Rifle Sabots

    The ammo you are remembering was the Remington Accelerator From back in the late 70s if I recall. By all accounts it had crap for accuracy. It came in 30-30, 30-06, and I think there was a 308

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope question/ rant

    That is quite simply dumb luck that the hashes correspond to your come ups if you didn't plan it that way. I have a couple of hunting scopes that will do that. For example I have a 45-70 that every ½ mil is 25 yards from 100 to 200 yards (45-70s fall like a rock) but I loaded it that way...

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope question/ rant

    You need to know the scope subtensions at the power you are shooting, then you can compare it to your drops.

    Digital scale/autotrickler set up recommendations

    I would say get on the waitlist for a V4. My set up is a V one with some V2 and V3 modifications. The whole set up as a V4 looks really awesome and I know if Adam puts it out there it’s going to work and it’s gonna work well. The whole V3 set up looks awesome compared to my Kabul together...

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    if you are shooting at 600 the 175SMK is ok, nobody uses it but it’s OK. If you are shooting to 1000 yards it’s a boat, it takes five minutes more elevation to get there than bullets with a modern design. use the 178 if you’re going to go long range.

    It’s about 2+ hours east for me, I live over by Lebanon about 20 minutes from VT off of 89. It’s a typical New England you can’t get there from here. I have to drive all the way down to Manchester and pick up 101 and go over to 95 and go up. When we go over to shoot at Barry’s in Conway it’s...

    You are kind of beat for long range. Keep in mind here that I shoot F Class. That’s NRA High Power Competition. most of this is round targets on rectangular fields. Nashua Fish and game has 600 yards and holds matches in the late spring and summer. Keene holds a few 600 yard matches...

    Staccato C2 vs SVI Tiki

    Um.... sushi is actually the rice, the other stuff just adds flavor. as for the pistols, how do you cock the hammer on the infinity? You don’t need a pistol for black bears, and probably not wolves. I love my 1911s, but I’d look for something lighter for a hiking pistol.

    Suppressors If you could only own one suppressor ?

    SiCo Hybrid. The only drawback I see with mine is that it's heavy to hang off of an AR, but it works for me. I've run it with 458 SOCOM, 308 and 223.

    For those who are interested in WW2 warbirds I strongl recommend Greg’s Airplanes and Automobiles channel on YouTube. The details are often over my head because I’m not a pilot, but will probably make an airplane nerd get the shakes. Just for an example, his series on the P 47 is 8 parts each...

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    I’ve had my arse whipped by 155.5s at 600 yards before, then again Ive taken a few wins with 90vlds at mid range too. @ mid range the 155.5, the 155smk[2156] or the 185 jug would be a great choice, and the 185 works to 1000.

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    WARNING To the OP and anyone reading this looking for ideas for loading in a mag length 308. When I first came to this forum about 10 years ago and got my first 30 inch barrel for F Class I thought I must’ve had the slowest barrel that Krieger had ever made. There are more overstated MVs and...

    I was going to point him to any of the series of Naca documents discussing superchargers and turbo chargers and super chargers that went into the f4f, f4u, the F6F, P47, and the Allison’s in the P38. I think that there may not have been any US single seat fighter that was not turbo charged or...
