    VV N570

    Just got off the phone with Jeannie Bolda at Kaltron. Doesn't look like there will be any N570 available until the fall at the very earliest. I discovered that the DOT must test and certify any new powder imported to the US to assure that it is safe to transport via truck. It can't be...

    Hooker Tactical=Gone Away

    Re: Hooker Tactical=Gone Away My last conversation with Susan Hooker was in early April. I have been involved in testing some of their ammunition, including 50 BMG, 338 LM, and a specialty .308 round specifically designed for glass penetration. This round performed superbly, and bored...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a 50 BMG

    Re: Scope for a 50 BMG Some of the scopes you are considering will last 1000 rounds, some will fail after 50 rounds. I have seen virtually every scope other than an NXS or USO fail. Even with the Mk4 I have seen reticles come loose. I also have 2 fixed 20X Ultra's that have thousands of...

    Question About GAP Templar Action???

    Re: Question About GAP Templar Action??? Yes, my Templar is a LA in .338LM. Leo's point about the rear "cut" is correct though. All the more reason to go with a front embedded rail rather than the troublesome MARS system.

    Question About GAP Templar Action???

    Re: Question About GAP Templar Action??? If you are referring to the McCann MARS rail system, (or the same one marketed by Remington), it does not just mount over the existing scope base/rail. It is a system that replaces the existing rail. I am not sure if the Templar action accepts a...

    Best selection and smith to build a 375 Cheytac

    Re: Best selection and smith to build a 375 Cheytac Bill, One of the things you will need to consider are the bullets you plan on using. If you want to use the Hooker Tactical/Lost River/Jamison-CheyTac solid bullets, you will need to have a barrel with the "Lost River Bore" that Lawton...

    IBS Heavy Gun 1000yd New world Record

    Re: IBS Heavy Gun 1000yd New world Record I wonder if he doesn't also have it set up as a tension tube for the barrel. I've known a few others that have used that configuration with excellent results. His rest also provides some serious precision tracking of that gun during recoil and...

    Re: what weapons did the Seals us on the pirates? Me thinks this is a good time for this thread to go to sleep, as my attempt to offer an "opinion" as an answer to the original question was not intended to stir up a battle of personalities. Let it rest.

    Re: what weapons did the Seals us on the pirates? Archangel & R7, I regret if my post came across as talking down to R7 or by inference any other service member current or retired. I usually try to ignore it, but I occasionally get defensive when someone starts shouting and inferring that...

    WHY WHY WHY

    Re: WHY WHY WHY Later, I suspect because it is outside their comfort zone of knowledge and experience. This reminds me of how the Palma shooters fought tooth and nail to prevent the FCSA from being able to use many of the ranges they shot at. They had the opinion that we were not at...

    Fieldcraft what weapons did the SEALs us on the pirates?

    Re: what weapons did the Seals us on the pirates? Rifles would have most likely been the Mk11 Mod 0 (which is a variant of the SR-25). Rationale: Distance well within effective range, suppressed, easy to mount PVS-22 (UNS), 7.62 more energy than 5.56 round of Mk12, Semi-auto for ability to...

    Anyone using VV N-170 powder in the .338 Lapua?

    Re: Anyone using VV N-170 powder in the .338 Lapua? N170 will work with the 300 SMK or Scenar. I haven't tried it yet but it is slower than R-22. Of the other powders, Retumbo or RL-25 are better choices. I have had the best results with Retumbo, but I am waiting for VV N570 to get here...

    How do you get on the paper @ 600 or 1000y ?

    Re: How do you get on the paper @ 600 or 1000y ? For your Barrett CQB, you will need to get a MV via chronograph, as it will be significantly slower than what you get out of a standard 29" barrel. Your elevation out to 1000 will be significantly more than what it would be out of the standard...
