Hi guys, I am going to be visiting a friend in Denver in a month. He's an accomplished shotgunner and hunter, but new to LR rifle. I want to bring my 300wm and some portable steel and demonstrate the coolness of our sport. We'll have just one day, 16 July, which is a Tuesday Are there any...

For fun, I imported the drop in inches from 0 to 2000 yds (data every 25 yards)from JBM into excel. I then used excel's curve fit function to get the derivative, giving me the "<span style="text-decoration: underline">change </span>in drop" vs. "<span style="text-decoration: underline">change...

Shot the Berger 230 gr OTM over a range of H1000 powder loads. Topped out at 2,880 fps over 76 gr H1000, 26" bbl, 1:10. About 75F at the time, and H1000 is pretty temp-insensitive. No over-pressure signs even at that load. Ballistically, the 230 (G-7 = .368) at 2,880 will be much better than...

I wanted to relate a good customer service experience with this company. I wrote asking how to polish out scratches I had gotten during the last year. Their reply: Good Afternoon Paul, Thank you kindly for your email. I am sorry to hear that your ICE lens has scratched. Please send them into...

So how often is illumination needed in the typical tactical competition? I haven't seen too many COF descriptions that require it (but then I've not been around terribly long, either). Other than real operators, just how necessary is it, really?

I got my first rifle this spring, after temps rose to humane levels here in NW Montana. However, I anticipate trying to shoot through the winter. My action and barrel are SS. At times, temps can get quite low. Knowing metal gets more brittle at low temps, and the pressure impulse in chambers...

As an aging ex-NASA engineer, it strikes me that none of the muzzle brakes that I have seen on the market today appear to have been designed with proper nozzle theory. Exhaust gases exiting from the muzzle are clearly supersonic and choked. Every brake I've seen so far uses straight-sided...

I am looking for feedback on shooter preferences. There is a range of solutions, from foam plugs, custom molded plugs, to active ear plugs and ear muffs. Custom molded devices seem to have promise. I'm looking for: * Effective (whats minimum NRR?) * Not too expensive (< $100 would be nice) *...

I am looking for data on the bullets used in these commercial rounds, in particular .300 wm 180 gr, to use in the JBM ballistics calculator. At the least, I need BC1, or better, BC7. It would be nice to have length of bullet (I don't have the tool to pull one). Packaging claims 2,960 fps, but I...

After reading Brian Litz' Applied Ballistics book, I was intrigued by his method for measuring G7 BCs by using downrange mics at 200 yd intervals, and a sound waveform analyzer. Laptops are common, mics are cheap, and there seems to be many freeware sound waveform packages out there (eg Sonic...

there are two possible answers. 1) n+1, where n = number of rifles you currently own 2_ s-1, where s = the number of rifles that would result in separation from your spouse

I just got an AICS 2.0 stock. I really like it except that the grip is placed/sized so that when gripping with a straight wrist, my trigger finger touches the trigger on the second joint. I can put the trigger finger in the right place by bending my wrist, but it feels awkward. I'd prefer that...

I have seen a few pics of AICS chassis with small adjustable stands for the rear of the stock. It appears to be foldable as well. I couldn't find it on the AI website as an option or accessory that I could find. Who makes these? how much? are they practical? worth it?

Blesbok from 180 yds, 300 wm Wildebeast from 200 yds, .300wm Kudu from 150 yds, 8x68

My apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum. I am new to LR precision rifle shooting. As such, while I realize that handloading can produce the best results, I don't want to introduce another variable as I am in early learning mode. Once my shooting is fairly consistent, I'll spend the...

I'd like some advice, please. The scope will be mounted on a .300wm bolt, I will shoot mainly steel. I do not have a lot of experience, so I don't expect I'll be engaging anything beyond 500 yds until I learn what the heck I'm doing. That means I don't need too much top end magnification...

I know of Gary Marbut's event in Potomac every month, are there any others in MT (particularly Western MT) or eastern WA?

Hi all, I am new to the game, and need some advice on what to do next. I bought a Stiller TAC300(.300wm) that I had my local gunsmith bolt into an XLR chassis(along with a Timney trigger) by my local gunsmith. The excellent XLR chassis uses AI magazines. Unfortunately, when I got the assembled...

Looking to mount a SS 3-9x42 (30 mm tube)on a 20moa rail. rifle is 300 wm, so non-zero recoil... Have identified Seekins, Vortex and TSR as good choices around $95-120. USO has rings that I am sure are great, but $210? Badger and Leupold also seems expensive, for $150-170. any other quality...
