How do we even know the odds? We have never been dumb enough to import a disease. I am not a doctor but odds of one in a million. Isn't there a lot more than a million individual viruses in that guy?

I have been thinking and researching this today and have come to a somewhat informed decision. This is not excusable. I'm really pissed off! Ebola is history's number three most deadly thing!!! Only beet by the black death and small pox... And Ebola has been named as a contender for the black...

They say that they take every precaution... What about not flying it to another continent?! I want to know who is giving the OK.

I just got mine and I can say, after closely examining the design and materials, that this is the highest quality stock bag I have ever had in my hand. I have killed four other brands. And I think this one will be here for a vary long time. My only compliant is the shell holders will not...

Pictures??

That is cool.

It has happened at a few of my "ELR" spots. After looking through my logs the times it happens is at three of those spots. I had only just put it together. That's just the only thing I can think of that they have in common. I spend a lot of time on those spots. ( a lot of wasted ammo)(I hate...

OP. This is counter intuitive but I found my 111 LRH (same gun different stalk) liked the 285gr. But it loves the 300s. The trick was shorten the COAL. I run at 3.655inches. With 300SMK's 88gr. Retumbo 87gr. Magpro. 86gr. Re-25 94.6gr. Re-33. All with below half MOA. My rifle needed a little...

Has anyone seen or tested for temperature stability of this powder? I tested two frozen, two room temperature, and two hot (left them on the intake manifold). The only measurable results I got where the hot ones went about 50fps faster. I wonder if my method was wrong.

I figured it out. I'm so thrilled. For two reasons. It wasn't the powder or the bullet, and I can fix it. It happens with the Lapua bullets to. I loaded the Lapua 300s with 94.6gr of RE-33 and got similar velocities (a little bit more) and great consistency. I ran the numbers and was soon...

You can also skip the moa conversion to mils. 1 mil is 3.6 inches at 100yds. So 3.6 × range in hundreds of yards = inches per mil at distance. 1000yds is 10×3.6=36 inches. Just divide the wind inches by inches per mil at distance and you get mil holdover. 44 inches ÷ 36 = 1.22 mil...

As far as the equation goes, its 17.6 × wind mph × Lag time = deflection in inches. Lag time is not flight time. 3000fps over the entire 1000yds would be representative of vacuum flight time. ( the bullet doesn't slow down because of no air) this flight time is 1 second. Your bullets real...

Ok now its time for the thinking cap.

The best part is the 2 year old girl wearing a pink dress in the prone position next to you on the shooting mat, with binoculars pointed at the sky. No matter how bad I miss, my spotter always calls a good hit.

The equation you are using for wind comes from a simplified equation that fixes wind for a M40 shooting 7.62 special ball. It is not a perfect fit for every rifle. And you may be using it wrong, if memory serves the "constant" changes with range. Here is an equation that will work for every...

Its not the rifle that will get you to 1mile. Its you. You need four things to get out there, a good rifle, a log book, a great range finder and time. I have managed four first shot hits at around one mile in the 5 years I've been at this. Three this year. ( I am vary proud of this.) If your...

The gun still shoots half moa. It has not given me a reason to worry. I guess I'm asking am I really around 100 rounds away from a problem?

Before I purchased my Savage 111LRH 338 LM, I had two major concerns one was that I would prove I was no good at ELR marksmanship. Not to toot my own horn but... I am vary good at it, you all get allot of credit, I have been reading here for years. The other concern I had was something I had...

Think of this. If your shot is 1000 yards away and you dial up 30 MOA. What angle is the barrel now pointed up? One MOA is one 60th of a degree. ( That is were " minute" of angle comes from) So 30 MOA is one half a degree. The mark on your indicator that says .98 is for 9 degrees (or...

What type of rifle? What bullets? I have an FN FAL that got me started in Long Range precision shooting. With a muzzle brake (not a flash hider) I can control it but only with 150 grain bullets and a fight. It did take me a long time to figure out how to control it but with practice there is...
