    Applied Ballistics for Android

    It has been a while since I have been here, so I am sure it has been discussed. I just can't find it. Anyone have a link or a quick and dirty to use this app? I downloaded it and it seems like it takes forever to set it up for each gun and load. My main questions are: Can I clone a rifle, but...

    Does the Beret really mean anything anymore??

    At one time earning the right to wear a Beret meant you were part of an Elite Group (ie SF, Rangers, SAS, etc.). I believe in fact it was JFK who mandated the right of SF to officially adopt the green beanie as their official headgear. Nowadays every fucking unit wears a beret of some kind. I...

    Maggie’s Oldie but goody

    A retired Army sniper decides to buy a new scope for his rifle. He goes to a gun store, and asks the clerk to show him a scope. The clerk takes out a scope, and says to the man, "This scope is so good, you can see my house all the way up on that hill". The man takes a look through the scope...

    What trigger weight are you running??

    What weight of pull are you running? Is it different for your tactical rifles versus dedicated LR guns? Mine is about 3-3.5lbs which seems alright for steel and when I am dry firing, but when I am shooting at little squares trying for groups it feels like about 10lbs. I don't want to go to an...

    6mm or 7mm BR for long range??

    I think both cartridges are viable so which would you choose and what twist rate/bullet? I ask as I have a ton of brass and would like to go to something with a better BC than 308, but I don't want to go to a mag.

    I think my favorite .222 700VS is shot out...what would you build?

    So this particular Varmint Special was built in 1974. I can NOT get it to shoot with any of my old standby pet loads, about .75 to 1 MOA at best. Granted that is probably fine for varmints, but I am used to these guns shooting way better and I am fairly bummed. SO, what would you do with it...

    Any luck with heavies in a 1:9 twist .223?

    If so, what's your load. I am running a Stag/S&W hybrid M-4 with a 1:9 twist. I get good results with 60ish grain bullets, but was thinking I might want to try something in the heavier/better BC class so I am reaching out to the experts.

    I think I am done and a shout out for Idaho CTD brakes

    I think I am pretty much done with my SPS Tactical upgrading with the addition of one of Nathan's brakes. Mailed him a check on 8/14 and it was in my mailbox 8/21 my birthday :) I tell you what it made a big difference in the snort of this short barrel 308. Before I get accused of...

    Anybody need any Winchester T-22?

    It don't work for me, but if you have a gun that shoots it I have 9 boxes all the same lot.

    Well so I guess they really are bad.

    So I have been working with my SPS Tactical. While not particularly happy with the X-Mark trigger I felt I had it tuned to a point I could live with. Mine is the early one without the 40x type adjustment so I had to take it out of the stock to adjust it. I actually did this more than a year...

    Rookie mistakes

    Well I finally got to shoot past 300yds yesterday and I thought I would share a couple of rookie mistakes I made. 1. Don't dick with your rig the night before a shoot and not check your zero. I had zeroed the rifle Thursday night and everything was GTG. Friday night in preparation for...

    Any luck with Norma TAC Star ammo??

    I have seen some of this in stock pretty reasonable. Anybody got a range report on it?

    "Mexican" match ammo????

    Anybody ever have any luck with it??? Here is where I am at. I have a ton of Portuguese ball ammo that shoots fair out of my SPS. I have a corresponding amount of 155gr Nosler match bullets. I am thinking I can pull the 147's and replace them with the 155's. Not enough difference in weight to...
