    Chronograph or kestral?

    a kestrel can give you your muzzle velocity as can a lot of ballistics software/apps. the truing function is pretty good and goes along with the "believe the bullet" mindset. a kestrel will be far more useful.

    Getting into ELR

    i only have access to around 2000 yards right now as well. i hope to go further one day but that day i do imagine having something large and more money to invest into making it practical. i shoot mostly 6.5 cm right now and was considering 300 win mag or 7 rm for a while before i took the advice...

    Getting into ELR

    very solid points from both of you. the tbac website does say that the ultra 7 has a minimum barrel length of 22" for a 300 norma. but, if i'm really going to do this, i might as well just go with what i originally looked into, the 338 edge. but, then what is to keep me from going one step...

    Getting into ELR

    i appreciate all of that. although i didn't understand the point you were making in your first post, it is clear in this that i misinterpreted what the message was. it actually seems like your advice might be the closest answer to what i was originally asking as well. by stepping up i'm...

    Getting into ELR

    i completely understand your logic and will hopefully be able to do just what you suggest. however, i am very constrained right now and i know for a fact i CAN shoot elr and not have to spend an arm and leg to do it. sure, i'll potentially be handicapped, but at least i can learn. i just dont...

    Getting into ELR

    I hesitated putting 300 norma down in my post because i wanted to hear it from you guys. i have heard many who are all for it and many that say it's a huge waste and overly expensive comparatively. The can is a tbac ultra 7. Before doing actual research and running numbers through a ballistic...

    Reloading startup recommendations

    I appreciate you noticing that padom. I use the word value in the context of bang for the buck. i've learned, similar to most everyone, that buying something twice due to needing to upgrade later is a great way to waste money. Thanks for all the input here.

    Reloading startup recommendations

    I want to start with my own equipment. I've used buddy's stuff in the past but am pretty novice and dont own anything for reloading. I would like to know what the best overall value for a decent setup that wont need upgrading would be considering used/new equipment etc. also, the two cartridges...

    Getting into ELR

    Getting started with ELR. I have experience shooting long range but only own short actions at this time. I'm looking into a long action/magnum. I'd prefer to stay .30 cal or under due to my can being a .30 cal. I would prefer to stay away from the cartridges that get that little bit of extra...

    Not to be "that" guy, but are the only shipping options really either $7 flat rate or $15 for a dvd?

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    i can see that logic. makes sense. when you invest so much into something, it's idiotic to have equipment that will bring it all to a halt and end up costing more money to manage it in the long run. i've experienced that first hand which is why i focus on value. it's not value if it's cheap and...

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    you obviously didn't understand a word i wrote. that explains why you say what you say. why not remain calm and have a conversation? you escalated everything. your comments are pretentious, arrogant, and emotional.

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    your entire response other than the last 3 lines doesn't even begin to address what we're talking about. and to specifically reply to what you said.... my "attempt to school" you on "market realities" has absolutely zero relevance to my shooting experience or integrity. at all. there's nothing...

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    how am i trashing anyone? how am i poking against people who don't agree with me? you're doing both of those things to me. i was very civil, never pointed fingers or trashed any value. all i did was recount my experience of a comment section on youtube. saying stuff that supports your stance and...

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    i completely understand what you're saying. i'm not saying it's right to infringe on his patent. however, the bipods being sold on amazon are not counterfeit, they are copies. very different. secondly, i merely responded calmly to a heated video of his that was quite unprofessional that he wont...

    Serious bipods - Harris, Atlas, or...????

    i get what you're saying. i just find it ridiculous how all these people jump on the "you buy a fake atlas and you're a criminal" bandwagon. copies and knockoffs are different than counterfeit as you said. i've been cursed at before by the owner of bt after he made a video about fake atlas's...
