The purpose of this rifle is to validate a ballistic calculator on which I am working and perform long range load development.

    Suppressors Shopping for a supressor

    Anybody had any experience with http://jenseprecision.com/abs-barrels.html or http://www.teludynetech.com/ and have a range report on the topic? They sound pretty interesting, but a one way investment for a barrel/ rifle.

    All, I am interested in doing a rifle build and see a lot of value in a la cart shopping for rifle components.

    Range Report Windage Effects (Ballistic Calculations)

    I am trying to explore the effects of wind on the ballistic path. There are two effects I am trying to hone in on: 1) Shape pressure drag, or the push on the bullet that causes left and right drift. 2) Magnus effect that causes an up down lift on the projectile due to spin. Right now I am...
