    I am in the process of conducting OCW tests to find the perfect load for this thing. Jeff Fertal at USO took my order on this SN3 and I must say that USO can't be beat for quality or customer service. This scope is the 3.2-17 with Mil/Mil and Mildot reticle. and my first OCW test

    Range Report 20" barrel Speed question

    Does 45.8gr of Varget equate to an averag speed of 2787 pushing 155 Berger VLD's? I have a lot more data, but my new bartlein 20" barrel just seems ridiculously fast. Any input will be appreciated. Yes caliber would be appropriate .308. I did use a competition electronics chronograph to get...

    Gunsmithing Theoretical Question

    Everyone take this with a grain of salt, but curious about other input. I am a tank commander on the Abrams. These weapons are absolutely amazing, and the main gun when shooting sabot's requires almost no elevation to about 1800M. If the TIS sight fails and you have to bore shoot the weapon...
