    Reloading Press for .50BMG

    I'll give you the advice I wish someone would have given me when I bought my first .50 BMG: Sell it now, minimize your losses, and do something else. No joke. The .50's are cool on paper, but everything about them is a major pain in the ass. They weigh a ton, cost a small fortune, and...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    There are are some of those out there, but they are the exception, not the rule. F-class shooters are not coming from the ranks of Higpower or smallbore shooters, and the top F folks are not former sling shooters. It started out that way, but it's pretty much it's own separate game now. There...

    F Class Competition - Guy beside me was dry firing 3 times before each round

    I believe in dry firing as much as the next guy, but that seems awfully excessive to me. The only time I will dry fire at all after I've started shooting is if there's a long interruption for some reason, or if I am having an obvious problem that I need to straighten out.

    Damn luck or what?

    Only way to find out is to do it a bunch more and see if that's how it always works out. I'm guessing not.

    Getting banned from ARFcom

    Can you please ban him again on general principles? Those of us who were around then still remember the worthless, diaper wearing little creep. It would take a lot to convince me he's anything other than that now.

    Help a writer out?

    If you want your character development to be believable, make sure your sniper has attended at least one M1 Garand clinic somewhere in his past, maybe even make him a CMP-USAMU MRI. This will ensure that he lives on the highest plateaus of long range marksmanship. I would also suggest frequent...

    F T/R Competition F-open 1k score

    Sorry, I missed any intended sarcasm. I think the OP did also, judging from his response to your suggestion.

    F T/R Competition F-open 1k score

    How could this comparison be useful? How would this show how wind calls stacked up when one guy is shooting a .300wm from a bipod and rear bag, while the rest are shooting rifles chambered in unknown calibers, supported with a sling, and possibly using iron sights? There is a lot more to sling...

    Is my velocity that far off?

    Any chance your 18 mph headwind was fishtailing? It doesn't take much to put you off a 16" target at 1000 yards, even with good data and an 18 mph wind is pretty stiff. If you have no idea what you are doing, it's even harder. Not saying that's the case, I'm just saying...

    Headshots Vs Centre Mass

    Do you want to start a discussion on the topic, or just a discussion on the lack of discussion on it?

    shooting beyond 500 yards

    OP, the only way to verify this is to shoot a group with your rifle upside-down. If it drifts the opposite direction, it is spin drift. If it only happens when you are shooting north, it is the Borealis effect. Hope this helps, Erik

    Rifle Scopes MOA

    If you need to convert MOA to metric, my canadian friend taught me this trick: double it and add 30. If something is 10 MOA, just do the math: 10 + 10 = 20 + 30 = 50. So you would need 50 metrics for a 10 MOA shot. It works for everything. For instance, if you go to the liquor store and...
