    DA calculation from barometric pressure?

    Guys. According to JBM, it seems that differences in pressure has a pretty big impact on bullet drop at longer ranges. Is this barometric pressure? If so, is there a formula to calculate density altitude from a barometric pressure reading? I don't carry a smart phone because I have...

    Savage switch barrel with CDI bottom metal?

    Guys, I have been kicking around the idea of a Savage switch barrel with CDI bottom metal. Assuming I will be able to buy AICS magazines again someday, I was wondering if anyone here knows if I can switch between the .223 AICS mags and the .308 AICS mags. I understand the two mags have...

    CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool

    This is news to me. I haven't seen any for sale or read about any reviews. http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/CZ455VarmintTacticool/ I just wanted to give a heads up and see if anyone has any experience with these yet? These could be pretty good with a Lilja barrel and some bedding? I wish...

    Gunsmithing Adding BLACK grip texture to a hunting rig?

    I want to use something that is black. Can anyone recommend something that will work well and is black? I am going to tape off the area I want to texture, spread the medium, and spike it up with a tongue depressor or something. I'll probably refer to Randy's tutorial on his R & D Precision...

    Hold that forend?

    I did a search and didn't find anything. I just wanted to get some thoughts on this guy's technique and perhaps why it differs from what most of us probably do. I think he is advocating this technique for lighter and heavy recoiling rifles...

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this... So I got some warnings to not access this site today. Seems this site has been identified as possibly installing (harmful) software without our knowledge or stealing information? I backed up my computer and read the messages and it seems...

    Can you short stoke your bolt?

    I recall watching tryouts for Marine Scout Sniper on one of the cable channels and the show followed a small handful of America's finest up to and including the final testing. Out of the relatively small group, two of them failed because of short stroking the bolt while under the stress of the...

    Gunsmithing Trigger creep in Model 70

    I have a Mod 70 that has developed a noticeable trigger creep before breaking. Is this something that can be addressed DIY or do I need a gunsmith to take a look at it? Thanks.

    I may be able to use some help from some of you ballistics ahh gentlemen. I used JBM to get close to the numbers that indicate a velocity that I am a little skeptical of. 6.5 Creedmoor shooting 140 AMAX. 4350 powder (42.3). 24" barrel! Data collected at the Pala range on a pleasant and...

    Sling supported prone

    I've been working on improving my sling supported position shooting and want to make sure I am practicing proper fundamentals. In standing, kneeling, and sitting, while building bone support, I get my support forearm as vertical as possible, then relax, letting my bone support my rifle. We...

    Rifle Scopes the SS 5-20 Initial Impressions post got deleted?

    Wow. Really? Didn't have the correct content? Good to know. Hey, it's a privately owned site and is subject to the owner's agenda. Take it or leave it right? But I no longer think it's something it's not, like unbiased. Maybe I'm next?

    I made a little dope book

    I wanted to get the DA calculator from Adaptive but I shoot a 6.5 at 2750 FPS and it wasn't happening so I ended up making myself a dope book. I plotted a DA reference using the grid on MS Paint. I put the DA grid on the front cover and a wind observation page on the back cover that I got from...

    Gunsmithing Flush cups on an A3?

    Has anyone put flush cups on an A3 stock? The reason I ask is that there is not as much material on the fore end to anchor them there and I don't recall seeing any pictures of them on an A3. Thanks.

    6.5 Creedmoor and 130 VLD's

    I'm looking for reviews. Has anyone tried these? I did a search but didn't find anything. I'm thinking they might be worth a try to see if they can top the 140's and at what ranges. It's more of an intellectual pursuit right now which is probably good because I don't see any decent 6.5...

    Max load for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I've been reading up on the OCW method for load development. It is recommended to consult 3 load data sources for the max charge weight for your powder then back off a little from there for starters. I'll be using 4350. I don't know if there are 3 sources for 6.5 Creedmoor. I see some on...

    Kestrel vs Caldwell wind meters

    The Caldwell must not work at all compared to the Kestrel because the Kestrel is like 10 times the price and I don't ever see the Caldwell mentioned. Really? I don't need to impress anyone with the Kestrel if the Caldwell will give me accurate readings.

    escape from kalifornia?

    All, I am corresponding with a company in northern TX in the Wichata Falls (tornado alley?) area about a job there. I've never been there and would want to visit before I finalize anything. Questions for those who know: Are there rifle ranges in the area that I can shoot LR? I think there are...
