    375 Cheytac flattening Fed 215s

    I spoke to Hodgdon a couple of weeks ago and was told H50BMG is being made again and a couple of shipments had already been sent to distributors. Since it is still “out of stock” at most outlets one can only assume it was bought quickly when it arrived; hopefully the next shipment will stay on...

    7mm bullet to use for 1 mile??

    I've not used the Hornady bullets in my .284 so can't speak to their effectiveness. I started with Berger Hybrid 180 Hybrids and haven't looked back. I'm getting 2840 fps out of a 28" Bartlein with 1:8 twist and hit targets at 1850 yards. I've not tried anything heavier since it's a "straight"...

    Shooting out to a mile

    Sniper wannabe, The choice of bases depends on the amount of internal travel your scope has and the required elevation needed to shoot the distances you are targeting with your rifle, bullet and muzzle velocity. Also depends on if you want a 100 yard zero and/or want to dial the entire elevation...

    OCW test: Help me interpreting results

    The OCW process and performing the test is not difficult; Dan Newberry explains it well and gives examples but too many shooters try to find the results they're looking for rather than understand the results they get

    OCW test: Help me interpreting results

    The increments at which the test weights for the OCW is shot will change depending on the amount of powder used. I know from doing many in the 35-45 grain max charge weights that the increment is 0.3 grains. If and when you start shooting larger calibers that use more powder and have a higher...

    OCW test: Help me interpreting results

    Since you read Dan Newberry’s instructions, I suggest you follow the formula he provides to determine charge weights as well. Typically at charge weights around 40 grains +/-, the increments are 0.3 grains. Doing 0.2 grain increments can make finding the node a little more difficult. This said...

    Advice for an adjustable base

    The Era-Tac is a very, very good adjustable base. I've tested mine and it has been consistent in it's repeatability but it is not specifically made for field type adjustments where you make adjustments on the fly. MACHTECH, I've got a 30 MOA base on the action and have dialed the Era-Tac to 60...

    Shooting out to a mile

    Like Steel Head and others have said, WIND...it will swallow ammo quickly, regardless of caliber. Where we shoot, the terrain is quite varied and the winds gusty at 10-30 mph (or higher) at times. Here you can go 0 for 5 one minute and then 5 for 5 the next. At the end of the day, in the...

    A good 1500 yard caliber

    As others have said, seeing impacts is critical. Not knowing what your impact area is made of, my suggestions are based on where I shoot and the type of terrain I am exposed to. The ground has slight inclines with soft loam soil; impacts are easy to see when it is dry. I shoot a straight .284...

    Rifle Scopes Eyeglasses and Scopes: Does it make a difference?

    As usual, it depends. My experience with glasses and my prescription using progressives caused a shift in my "true" sight alignment and how my eye saw the target in relation to the reticle as it moved when dialing the turret and moving the erector assembly. I was fortunate in finding this out...
