    So it may not be "all day long", but apparently it is capable, which I didn't expect.

    Not a load I had worked up, but I took 3% off the charge of a good load to plink and fire form some new brass. I shot this group. And then decided to quit shooting for good ;) So, it's not all day long 1/2 moa, but it is capable if the stars align. I was actually pretty sure I would...

    Rifle Scopes Oval milliradian scopes?

    Easier to remember sizing units, from what I understand. I'm still very new to optics. 1/4 mil center to edge, 3/4 mil edge to edge, etc.

    Rifle Scopes Oval milliradian scopes?

    Does any company make them commercially available? Are there any in the more conservative price range?

    New Winchester .30-06 brass not long enough to trim square?

    Thanks Mad_Charlie! I don't have a full length die, so I'll just have to wait and do it the hard way!

    New Winchester .30-06 brass not long enough to trim square?

    Well, I finally decided to get dedicated batches of brass for the Springfield and the R700. I can't afford Lapua, plain and simple. They had some bagged new, unprimed Winchester at Cabela's, and I could see in the bag (and based on what I had already read), that they would need some work to load...

    Jumping on the 4350 bandwagon for .30-06... realistic velocities?

    Thanks Ghost. I know what they say, "Speed is fine, accuracy is final."

    Jumping on the 4350 bandwagon for .30-06... realistic velocities?

    This isn't for an M1. This is strictly a load to be built for a Rem 700. Bob, My post was more asking about the velocity discrepancies I see using loads well within the low end of the powder mfg.'s recommendation. I have seen reports noting .30-06/175 gr SMK with 56.0 gr of 4350 being...

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    Leeeets take a step back here. The Kikwit strain of Mayinga Ebola has never been proven to be truly airborne. I have the Nature paper in front of me. Abstract: "Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause often fatal hemorrhagic fever in several species of simian primates including human. While fruit bats...

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    No, but they certainly do require a heap of ignorance.

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    You don't need a whole, or even live, patient for that.

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    Thank you for the job you do. I have several dear friends who are nurses in emergency medicine. They don't get nearly the praise they deserve.

    Ebola virus patients are being transported from west Africa to Atlanta

    It has been here already in infectious vectors. Pigs, monkeys, intentionally infected to study the disease. With USAMRIID and CDC. There is no cure, but there is better supportive care here. The obscene mortality rates this strain delivers are quite possibly due to lack of the best...

    Jumping on the 4350 bandwagon for .30-06... realistic velocities?

    Hi there. So I have been doing a lot of reading around, and IMR 4064 is my old faithful, local availability has allowed me to finally get my hands on H4350. I also have a box of 175 SMK to play around with. Now, from what I've been reading, people have been getting absurd velocities using...

    So... what kind of groups do you shoot using service rifle or loop sling.

    I'm curious to see some pics! Scoped rifles, Garands, you name it. I want to build some confidence here in precision sling shooting!
