    Advanced Marksmanship Mirage. How much effect does it have?

    Very little in my experience. No more than a click or two.

    Advanced Marksmanship Dot Drills

    I do load development on a target similar to a dot drill. If I get lazy, the POI will shift from target to target, even though the groups remain what you'd expect. It's an NPA/position thing. If you don't break it down and rebuild it between targets (mentally, and by shifting your body to get...

    Lightest bolt gun made?

    I believe Borden makes a titanium repeater action that might serve as a good base.

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    There is nothing wrong with a 12 twist, and AI uses them for a reason. That article is specifically discussing long range applications (1,000+ yards or so), and he's really splitting hairs with the twist rate. Yeah, when you look at F Class rifles (for example), your'e going to see some faster...

    Range Report More BC is always better ?

    All else equal, more bc is always better. Given that all else is not equal, it's still probably better. There is a tradeoff when you get to the very heavy bullets (200+ in a .308), where the gains aren't worth the increased recoil (a reason you see FTR shooters sticking with 185's even though...

    Drag Variability and the use of the “Axial Form Factor” 4DOF

    Cool stuff. Did they ever figure out what caused that transonic blip is on the 140 gr ELD Match? The other question I have is what is the error associated with these drag curves? It's possible that some of this variation (due to rifling, for example) is just variation in the measurements, and...

    F T/R Competition NF Comp 2014 1st impression

    I've had one since they came out earlier this year and put it through a few matches. It's 10 MOA/turn, but it's pretty obvious which turn you're on because the bottom edge of the turret cap actually lines up with the graduations on the turret, which isn't exactly the case with most scopes I've...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    I would also like resolution numbers. Except I'd probably ignore them because the manufacturers would game them to make their stuff look better like they do with power specs on home theater equipment. And frankly, people nitpick scopes too much as it is if you ask me.

    Mil / MOA calculation. Yes, again....

    No, that's a plenty good suggestion. There's nothing wrong with MOA. I prefer them myself because I hate the metric system. I just do. I get really tired of being off by a factor of ten when thinking quickly. I finally embraced my imperial nature. And before someone says "MILS AREN"T METIC!", 1)...

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Maybe I'm just dense, but how do you able to bump by 5 thous if the die is touching when you size 2-3 thous?

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    I'm confused. If the shell holder is being hit, how can he size them even more (5 thous)?

    zing! I guess I deserved that.

    Beating a dead horse......Custom Beanland vs AI AE MK3

    If by "600-1000 yard matches" you mean F class and benchrest, neither one of those will be competitive. Get a proper F class or bench rifle.

    Issue with Redding Bushing Dies - Too Long

    Just a thought, but maybe your chamber is too long for the dies, and you're not able to set them up properly and have the correct headspace at the same time. I don't see what trimming the die would do - usually if you're touching the die at the top of the stroke, you're sizing way too much. How...

    Range Report First time prone @ 200

    I know it's too late for this rifle, but I wouldn't recommend that in the future. A new barrel is probably the best money you can spend on a rifle. And if they're going to go through the trouble of taking off the old one, truing the action, and re-chambering/cleaning up the existing barrel, you...

    Wait - they trued the action and put the stock barrel back on?

    F T/R Competition First custom F-T/R build, help with stock choice

    I've been shooting Open class for the last two seasons (with a converted sling rifle), and just recently (like last week) decided to jump over to T/R. I'm using a medium palma. But that's mostly because I love my Barnard model P and it's a disgusting fat pig. I also like adjustable butt plates...
