    First Time Shooting ELR

    If you're just out there having fun and hoping to hit steel allowing a group to form and then chasing the center of it works well but if you are shooting matches and trying to win you can't afford that and basically have to chase the miss, you can be a little conservative on corrections if you...

    First Time Shooting ELR

    I just assumed it was handloads. There's almost no sense even bothering with that big of ES. With a spread like that, at that distance you're looking over a mil of elevation , I'm not sure how big your target is but that's bigger than most targets I've ever seen. You will have an insanely hard...

    Self-proclaimed Pit Masters of SH- I've got some questions

    if it weren't for pellet smokers I'd have to greatly reduce the amount of smoked meat I eat. So easy to just throw it on in the morning and forget about it until after work.

    Ya gusting or shifting winds will make it harder

    First Time Shooting ELR

    Ya true your DSF in the subsonic area then. Be aware that wind will affect your elevation, so make sure your kestrel wind hold matches to the actual shot before you true your DSF.

    First Time Shooting ELR

    what bullet are you shooting? what distance is it going subsonic? The only way to really tell what the wind is doing between you and the target is base it off where the last bullet went. Headwinds and tail winds cause insane hold changes at ELR distances. At KRG match they had a target at 2500...

    First Time Shooting ELR

    That CDF is pretty new. My understanding is CDF should be used to true supersonic and DSF is for subsonic. I had a chance to true DSF about a month ago, my data was good out to about 2400 then it seemed to fall apart. With 400gr CE Lazers I had over 1mil of discrepancy at 3000 Yards

    Looking for recommendations for a long range scope

    Everyone I know who's relatively decent at it shoots in this range.

    Looking for recommendations for a long range scope

    I've had really good luck with Cronus, I've never used that Luepold specifically but I'm sure you'd be happy with it as well. I don't think there's a wrong choice here. Be sure to get a mount with enough elevation to max out the optic, things drop off quick after a mile

    I'd go 8 also. The 90 gr Bergers want 7 twist but they don't hold together at that so just drop down the bullet and spin em slower

    PRS Talk New shooter timing out a lot

    IME most new shooters waste time acquiring targets, which is easy to practice and doesn't require you to actually shoot so it's free. As mentioned no sense rushing through stages just to miss them all, focus on making good shots and you will naturally speed up with practice.

    What is your favorite folding knife?

    since I posted in this thread 2 years ago, I've lost or broke 3 Spyderco PM2. I switched to a Civivi Conspirator. It's not as fun as the PM2 but it does it's job, I even bought a spare for when something happens to this one.

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    AB Quantum allows you to send the identical profile to both devices so you are certain you didn't fat finger something. I link to my kestrel also and put it on a wind vane to use it for wind and direction. My Binos weren't sending DOF to my kestrel so I had to send them in for repair.

    Kitchen knife handle replacement/repair

    I paid for it, it's my knife, I'll clean it how I want. edit: PS I've also got 17 year old Henkel's that have gone in the dishwasher since new. Zero sadness if it busts now.

    Krauger action wto switchlug build - 3 caliber ackley improved need advice. 510 whisper 338 lapua 300 rum.

    could do a 300 NM instead of the RUM save yourself the bolt face difference. I concur that it's just as easy to skip the WTO lug and just screw on and off shouldered barrels

    Long range build advice

    with a good center mass shot lots of the time it'd just zip straight through, best was to shoot them in the feet so it would take some ground with it and really launch them, there was lots of half prairie dogs laying out there lol

    Long range build advice

    Everyone is different. I needed to form brass for my 375 so I took it to shoot prairie dogs, shot 100 rounds in no time and wished I had more. LOL that was fun.

    Long range build advice

    The only thing a 338 Lap provides over a 300 PRC is better splash which may or may not be valuable depending on his ground conditions. It's usually pretty easy to spot a 30 Cal at a mile even in suboptimal conditions. The Lap requires more expensive and harder to find components. The ballistics...

    Long range build advice

    Basically right now he want's to shoot out to 1500, doesn't know where that will take him yet. He's got a good build started for what he wants. It's impossible to build a rifle to a specific need when he doesn't know what that is yet.
