    Range Report LoadBase 3.0 Testing

    Been playing around with LB3 for a few weeks and finally got a chance to put it through the ringer this weekend. I am fortunate that I have access to a private range with known and exact distances all the way from 100 yds to 850 yds in 50 yd increments. Only problem is it is 4.5 hours away and...

    Don't soak your brass in vinegar

    Re: Don't soak your brass in vinegar Been using straight vinegar to clean thousands of cases for ten years now. I'll be sure to post when I start to experience any problems, but I wouldn't hold your breath. If you are worried about acid remaining on long enough to harm the cases, rinse...

    Gunsmithing What release agent for bedding do you use?

    Re: What release agent for bedding do you use? I use Devcon and had great success with Kiwi neutral shoe polish as a release agent. Can't beat the price. I use plumbers putty for creating "dams" or plugging areas I do not want the Devcon to go.

    Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread. Thanks for the updates, guys. My next project is a 338 norma mag which I have been talking to Steve about. Sounds like the V10 will be perfect for this 17 lb beast. Hopefully, the V10 comes out before my rifle gets here in November...hint...hint!

    Looking to get a new chrono...what's good?

    Re: Looking to get a new chrono...what's good? I own/use 'em all and prefer the PVM-21 for it's simplicity and accuracy. (Disclaimer, I do not use the software, but use it in stand-alone mode). The M2 requires some mods to be consistently accurate. First, you need the IR screens which...

    Rifle Scopes How low is too low for positioning a scope?

    Re: How low is too low for positioning a scope? There is nothing on the market to solve your problem without modification. If you feel that you can raise your scope .1" or so and maintain a good cheek weld, then move up to the next size in rings. If you want to stay where you are, do what...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor and NF

    Re: Vortex Razor and NF I own both. Razor is the winner on optics and engineering/features. Razor is a bit bulkier, but very much worth it IMO. Future purchases will be Razors.

    Range Report Setting up LB3

    I just invested in LB3. So, while new to this particular program, I am very familiar with exterior ballistics analysis, which is my way of saying - dispense with the niceties and give it to me straight. :-) My questions are regarding setting up LB prior to having a lot of field data with which...

    What distance to Zero in at

    Re: What distance to Zero in at After reading some of Arthur Pejsa material, he has convinced me to shorten my zero ranges from 200 yds to no more than 100 yds. So, for your application, 50 yds is probably ideal, 100 yds max.

    So it seems (AR10 v M1a)

    Re: So it seems (AR10 v M1a) To me, this is like trying to choose a favorite child. I can't make a decision in either instance. The result is that I own both platforms and have never regretted it.
