    338 Bullet Testing / Demonstration LV Nev.

    Re: 338 Bullet Testing / Demonstration LV Nev. Wadcutter, based on these results, I can say that there is larger variation of the BC with the solid bullets compared to the jacketed bullets. For most jacketed bullets tested, we routinely got about 0.75 percent variation across all the shots...

    Rifle Scopes Total Nightforce Elevation and Windage Adjustment

    Re: Total Nightforce Elevation and Windage Adjustment I have a NF 5.5-22x56, and when I checked it, it had 98.5 MOA of elevation. I do not remember how much windage it had, but it is plenty. Do not sweat the fact the numbers are not exactly as advertised.

    Re: 6.5mm 142smk vs 139 scenar I have shot both the 123 Amax and 140 Amax through my DPMS LR-260. Both bullets loaded to mag length in my chamber were jumping at least 75 thou, and both bullets had good shooting loads for a gas gun (3/8 MOA). I have never heard of anyone having to jam the...
