    Advanced Marksmanship How do you flesh-out your DOPE from the few known ranges you have?

    Last year I attended some training and a competition out at K&M Precision. All the targets we shot the whole time we were there were from 100y to just short or 1000. What made it interesting was that a lot of the targets the staff had us engage were set up at ranges like 312y, 536y 788y etc...

    OBR and Bolt Gun Setup help!!

    Bullet Lots Question

    My lots were with in .10 of a grain as well, so weight was good. Ever since I stated shooting my re-loads for one reason or another all my rounds hit about 2" to 3" high starting at 500y and a little over 2" to 3" out to 700y. Three different ballistic data computers all gave me the same...

    Bullet Lots Question

    Well just got off the phone with Sierra. And they are well aware of the issue. They tell me the problem stems from the copper roll lots they get before they stretch it out for the round's jacket. The rep said each copper roll lotbehaves differently when worked during the jacketing process...

    Bullet Lots Question

    I would agree with you, and being that I have 3 boxes of 100rnds and they all measure the higher number I'm inclined to think the last lot was off. I'll post what Sierra has to say after I speak to them. Thanks r.

    Bullet Lots Question

    Towboxer, You are right the whole round. It never occurred to me to measure JUST the bullet to be honest, so I did it. The old round measure at the ogive with the comparator and insert 1.611 the new one measured at 1.631. The difference is still the .020 just as the whole round. I was calling...

    Bullet Lots Question

    Hey High Binder, thanks for the reply. Let me start out by saying I'm no Einstein with math but unless I'm having a REAL "You're THAT GUY" moment, I think I'm measuring this right. I checked the weight and everything else I can think off. I'm using a Hornady comparator and insert with my...
