    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    Dimensionally they are very similar. I have not compared shoulder angle. As far as performance, is there much of a difference?

    Which episode is the discussion of MPH of your gun?

    It's been a bit since I listened to it and I feel like I should revisit it.

    Marlin 39a

    I know this is outside normal interests, but I think there may be one or two of you out there that may have this info. Does anyone have a good resource on how many were produced per year in the 1950's?

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    1. I want to build. I don't want to replace parts. I want to be able to spread the cost out over time. 2. I don't necessarily want budget. I want the best bang for the buck. (Pun intended) I have things I will spend money on, looks and name brands aren't one of them. 3. I want to go 308...

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    I'm running a Gen 1 Vortex 6-24 on my 6.5cm. I set the scope forward/aft prone and on max magnification. I have good clarity edge to edge. When I back the power down I LOOSE clarity. The eye box becomes hard to find. What is the glaringly obvious thing did I miss? TIA

    Newbie reading list

    I haven't gotten the chance to take a formal class yet. I've only shot pass 100yds once. I have a lot of experience with bench 22lr. I'm looking for a fundamentals reading list. I've listened to all of Frank's podcasts. I'm not looking to compete. For me, I want to hit what I aim at all...

    MPA EVG

    I saw a couple of photos. https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-enhanced-vertical-grip/ It seems like whatever that section just behind of the trigger on the right side would be in the way, especially if you had smaller hands. Is it removable or is it not as obtrusive as it appears?

    Hand stop vs vertical grip

    I have not been able to get a clear picture of what the ATF views as one as opposed to the other. Anyone have some inside info? TIA

    Episode 103 non dominant eye shooting

    Took your advice and and spent my dryfire time today working non-dominant eye/ support side. It's been a long time since I practiced that. I was having my dominant eye superimpose non magnified information right in the center of my crosshair. If I closed my dominant eye quickly I could get a...

    Theoretical question for a "no wind" zero

    If one were to shoot for zero in a tunnel, would it result in a true zero or would there be a pressure wave that would disturb the trajectory? If it's size dependant, how big would the tunnel have to be to negate standard rifle cartridges (6.5cm, .308, 30-06, not .338LM or .50BMG)

    Episode 94

    As far as the copyright goes, I thought you owned the rights and you would need to file suit over unlicensed use of those rights. The owner is responsible for the policing.

    Cast bullest in a 450 Bushmaster?

    A friend of mine picked up a 450 Bushmaster upper. He's talking about loading up some cast lead and slinging them @~2300fps. My first thought was that these things were going to come apart. I have no experience with cast bullets. I had in the back of my mind that there was a speed limit to...

    Anyone used anything other than 1:16?

    I been pondering if there could be any benefit derived from playing with twist rate. I've also wondered if anyone ever tried gain twist on a 22 and by wonder I mean I'm sure someone has tried it and what did they find.

    Episode 86

    I listened to the podcast and I obviously am behind in some conversations. I don't need to get into a debate on the issues. I don't shoot any comps yet. I am try in to figure out what Frank is talking about. Specifics. What are people doing? I understand the prize table thing. That is...

    Thank you

    Until yesterday I had never been to a range that had a target past 100 yards. I have been reading and learning from the internet for years but there isn't a range within an hour of me that has the space and I don't know anyone personally that shoots anything past 100 so no one to ride along...

    Anyone want to talk AR shorties?

    I realize this is at the opposite end of the spectrum of what this forum is about and what we all probably spend most of our time and money on but I have got to think that there are at least a pistol or SBR in a few safes and I trust this forum. Looking at 11.5" uppers. Build or but I haven't...

    AR 15 complete lower weight differential

    I have been contemplating building a ultra light weight 14.5" gun. I am looking at the GWACS lower or sticking with a 7075. Durability of the GWACS is a separate discussion. I am looking a weight for the moment. I don't want to do a skeleton build. I don't think they are all that good of an...

    Doping a rifle without a chronograph

    I am still getting all of my long range gear together. I have yet to get a chronograph. I do have have a Kestrel. I am going to be using factory 6.5 CM for the time being. Am I going to be wasting my time using the factory published MV?
