    Range Report Density & Pressure Altitude Charts

    Re: Density & Pressure Altitude Charts Again, thanks. A very good read, and something tells me you have a relation to the author.

    Range Report Density & Pressure Altitude Charts

    Re: Density & Pressure Altitude Charts Do you know of any good websites to get familiar with some of the equations and terminology? Most of my school books refer to gauge or absolute pressures, and I can't even locate them right now.

    7mm wsm load development

    Re: 7mm wsm load development Good point. Some barrels just have different preferences. A buddy of mine had a .308 win rifle that would shoot 155 gr bullets out of his rifle 1 hole groups all the time. The first time I spotted for him, I thought he missed his target, because I couldn't see...

    Bushnell Elite 1500/1600 Range finder

    Re: Bushnell Elite 1500/1600 Range finder I have the Bushnell elite 1500, and I have never been able to do 1500 yds with it. I have difficulty somewhat past 5 or 600 yards and even less on game. At the 5 or 600 yard mark my target must be very large and fairly reflective. Tree lines don't...

    Help me upgrade my Leica CRF 1200

    Re: Help me upgrade my Leica CRF 1200 Wow that's really good. I've been wanting a bino/rangefinder. My elite 1500's furthest was a large white house about 1100 yds away and nothing beyond. I've always read great reviews and I liked the no frills type of rangefinder for the 1500, but I've...

    7mm wsm load development

    Re: 7mm wsm load development I just checked out your gun and video that stuff is nice. I can see where the highest BC really pays off there. I usually do go with the highest BC bullet I can get, but in this case, this is more of my hunting rifle. I also have a .338 lapua magnum I use the...

    7mm wsm load development

    Re: 7mm wsm load development Well the 180 vld does have quite a high bc, but I should be able to shoot flatter in the range that I hunt and shoot, under 1000 yds, using the 162 gr. Amax. I have heard generally 2950 fps for the vld with a bc of .659 according to Berger, and the Amax I think...

    7mm wsm load development

    I'm getting a 7mm wsm with a 25" barrel built on a Savage Stevens 200 LA receiver. It is getting a barrel put on and it is getting the action cut to the large shank size, new stockade Rollover Cheek thumbhole stock, and trued and timed. This rifle will mainly be used for hunting and some long...

    Help me upgrade my Leica CRF 1200

    Re: Help me upgrade my Leica CRF 1200 Are the bino/rangefinder versions any better than the regular rangefinder. I have an elite 1500 and its glass isn't great and it ranges fine at the range, but non reflective targets are rather difficult. I thought the Leica was supposed to range...

    Runners, a question...

    Re: Runners, a question... If you're gonna run a bunch then you'll want those carbs for sure. You should probably run for about a month or so regularly and then maybe find a 5k, which is about 3 miles, workout plan that you like. Make sure the plan has plenty of interval training, because...

    Runners, a question...

    Re: Runners, a question... Work on getting a "base" down first so you don't injure yourself. I think conventional wisdom is to not increase your distance more than 10% week to week. If you are sore the next day from this run then I would take time off from running until you feel good and...

    Rifle Scopes Range estimation question.

    Re: Range estimation question. Quite simply the answer is, yes. The reticle is calibrated at the factory for whatever magnification the scope manufacturer wants; though they will be off, as will your knob adjustments. How far off will simply vary. Mil or moa are just angle measurements...

    Skunkworks 7 WSM *Updated Range Report*

    Re: Skunkworks 7 WSM *Updated Range Report* That's a pretty good day at the range for its first day. Did you get any velocity measurements.

    Skunkworks 7 WSM *Updated Range Report*

    Re: My new Skunkworks 7 WSM I built mine on a long action, because that's the action I had around. Is your magazine for your catridges any larger than a spec 7mm wsm mag.

    Photos New paint on my #1 predator killer

    Re: New paint on my #1 predator killer Wow. I love that paint job. I also like the paint of the NF. I've always wanted to do that, but I just can't bring myself to spraying mine, I just wrap it. Any more details on such a great paint job would be quite enjoyable too, like how you did the...

    Range Report Density & Pressure Altitude Charts

    Re: Density & Pressure Altitude Charts To anyone who wants to think about leaving the kestrel in the truck or at home look at using these charts with a watch that measures barometric pressure and temp. I'm using a casio pathfinder with tough solar. Has anybody seen any other cool, simple...
