    Seating depth variations

    Re: Seating depth variations Seating based on ogive won't necessarily give you consistency, either, sorry to say. However, I believe it to be a better method than base to tip. Depending on the quality of the bullets, there can be quite a variation. I make it a practice to measure all my...

    IMR 8208 XBR

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR I'm thinking it's a better small case powder. Shoots 100 - 200 fps faster than H4895 in my .204R. Very good accuracy from it.

    Range Report Rifle shoots better at longer range?

    Re: Rifle shoots better at longer range? Parallax being the possible cause is something so easily over looked that I hadn't considered it. You may have hit on it, Greg. Many of the shooters I've run into don't really know how to adjust out the parallax. They either 'focus' with the control...

    Range Report Rifle shoots better at longer range?

    Re: Rifle shoots better at longer range? It's not an uncommon occurrence as stated above. Seems no one has a real handle on the phenomenon. I was just reading this article by Brian Litz: http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/epswerve.html He sort of put to rest the sleeping bullet theory.

    Re: Viper Vortex 6-24 ffp or sfp - convince me There's a post somewhere in the 'Hide of pics seen through various scopes. I think it has "through the scope" in the title. Should help you decide.

    OCW quick test today...pls comment on results

    Re: OCW quick test today...pls comment on results From the test it looks to me that your node is around 97.3. However, if you're willing to drop the velocity a bit, I'd test a few tenths under 97 gr to see if 97 is your OCW.

    Rifle Scopes Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using?

    Re: Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using? Ok, for those who think the mil was established for the metric system: The concept for the radian as an angular measure was established by Roger Cotes in 1714. al_Kashi (mathematician) was using diameter parts (same as a radian) around 1400...

    Ammo-Sighting In Method Needed

    Re: Ammo-Sighting In Method Needed The OCW method. It can be shot at 100 yds. You shoot it to find your Optimal Charge Weight and then fine tune the groups with bullet seating.

    Rifle Scopes Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using?

    Re: Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using? Radian or milliradian...it doesn't matter. It is a <span style="font-weight: bold">dimensionless</span> quantity. In other words, it is not attached to any specific measurement system such as Imperial or Metric.

    bullet length

    Re: bullet length My run of the Greenhill formula shows a 1 in 12 twist for those bullets. Not that I believe the formula is an absolute. 40 gr. bullets from my .204 stabilize just fine with 1 in 12 despite the formula saying I need a faster twist. As far as them shooting the same...

    bullet length

    Re: bullet length Tripwire - Gotta disagree with you on length not being important regarding twist rate. Twist = 150 X D2/L (use 180 for velocities 1800 - 4000) 150 and 180 = constants D = bullet diam. L = bullet length Nothing in the formula about bearing surface. As long as there is...
