    Gun MPH Wind Bracket Rose

    Are the numbers on this chart "holds" and if so, for what range? Trying to understand because this "rose" looks different with the decimal numbers vs the wind values on the others. Thanks.

    Help with 6mm offerings

    Just starting out post build. Coming from 308 to 223 for fun rifle. Thanks for your answer. Your answer was exactly what I was looking for. I'll be using AICS mags; have not measured yet, but by the looks of it, I have plenty of room in the mags for longer projectiles. I'm using a criterion 26"...

    Help with 6mm offerings

    Question about 223 barrel life: At what speed does one start "eroding" the throat of the barrel with a 223? Should I just push the speed up as far as possible (finding a higher accuracy node) or should I find a moderate accuracy node and save the barrel? How much am I giving up in...

    New Year New Project

    Reposted from other thread to separate replies: So, new year, new project. Since I had pretty good success with the cherry wood stocks, I thought I would try my hand with a new material. Phenolic (linen micarta). Yes, I'm copying Foundations Stocks. Just want to get that out of the way, I'm...

    So, new year, new project. Since I had pretty good success with the cherry wood stocks, I thought I would try my hand with a new material. Phenolic (linen micarta). Yes, I'm copying Foundations Stocks. Just want to get that out of the way, I'm definitely copying their stock. This is for personal...

    lets see your foundation stock

    Guess I deserved that response. Still, my question stands. Anyone like me who has a CNC and tooling ever done any cutting on TREX or Composite lumber? See previous posts (https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/prototypes-complete-final-product-in-cherry-wood-need-opinions-on-finish.7111850/)

    lets see your foundation stock

    These Foundation stocks look pretty amazing. The material looks like it would be very rigid also. Asking for a friend, has anyone used TREX or knock-off brand composite wood to CNC a rifle stock? Just curious how rigid in comparison to materials used in McMillan or these Foudations composite...

    Homemade Induction Annealer

    Hello, I just stumbled upon your annealer build. Very nice. Now that you have had a couple of years to use it, what components would you change if one was building this now? Thanks.

    .308 Winchester

    Question about powder: IMR 4320 was discontinued some time back. Whether it's the best choice or worst choice is not my question. It worked for me quite well. I've written to Hodgdon(IMR) and asked this question, but have not heard back. What is the closest replacement powder to IMR 4320 (if...

    Safe dry fire mirror array

    You are correct. single mirror is acceptable quality. Wish I thought to test for that....forrest for the trees I guess. So sounds like I need two quality mirrors. I knew there would be someone here to help. Thanks for the replies. At least I have a direction to march in to make this work better.

    I adjusted parallax to get the best sight picture, I did not note what approximate range the parallax was set to.

    Safe dry fire mirror array

    These are by no means expensive mirrors, but they are flat. I 3d printed frame/mounts for them. See pictures.

    Safe dry fire mirror array

    Question: I've set up a couple of mirrors in my home (basement) that allow me to lay prone, using a rifle scope, look through the 1st mirror (which is aligned with a 2nd mirror), through the 2nd mirror (which is aligned to a scaled target {simulating a 1000 yard target} 85 yards away). This...

    MagnetoSpeed XFR app dongle with USB-C

    FuhQ, thanks for the reply. Yes, there are many, many usb-c adaptors. I was hoping that someone has used one that works and might be able to specify a particular one. I don't want to order adapters that don't work :)
