    Re: How much is a "grip" of ammo? speaking as a former Navy gunner's mate.... Never heard it before.

    Cheap Subsonic Plinker Load

    Okay this is way cool. Just got my first suppressor and have a good load developed for my PSS LTR 1:12 20" Rem 700 De-bullet some milsurp 145 FMJ and replace the powder with 9grn Trail Boss and seat it to the canelure with a light crimp. Have yet to chronograph it but its shooting nice round...

    BC vs Terminal ballistics

    Re: BC vs Terminal ballistics Digging through my reloading supplies I found a full box of Hornady 110gr sp's Shouldn't have any troube stabilizing them. I also found some Hornady 220 round nose. I'm sure they will hit hard but really nervous about baffle strikes from a 1:12 barrel.

    BC vs Terminal ballistics

    Re: BC vs Terminal ballistics Thanks, lots of good info. Short of a high speed camera how can you be sure your bullet is being stabilized? look for round holes in the target?

    BC vs Terminal ballistics

    Re: BC vs Terminal ballistics I guess without lots of ballistic geletin testing there is no way to know. I'm looking for a reliable starting point that at the very least will stay stable enough to avoid a baffle strike on my new toy. I picked up some trailboss so I guess I'm out of excuses...

    BC vs Terminal ballistics

    Re: BC vs Terminal ballistics Okay, so what would be a good "pistol" bullet weight and shape that would stabilize in a 1:12 twist 20" barrel?

    BC vs Terminal ballistics

    Just got my first can and am developing a load. I've shot some milsurp FMJ and it isn't hearing safe. Here is my thought. Either... sierra pro hunter 170 flat point (b.c. 205 I think)designed to perform at lower velocities but probably not as slow as subsonic. Or 168 barnes ttsx (.4xx b.c...

    Advanced Marksmanship Mil Ranging with the Weaver

    Re: Mil Ranging with the Weaver I was not able to get exactly 10 mils on the scope. It runs out of magnification. I didn't think the error was big enough to be significant. I do plan to use it for mil ranging but I'm not sure if under real world conditions I am good enough see the error.

    Advanced Marksmanship Mil Ranging with the Weaver

    Re: Mil Ranging with the Weaver Okay, Update. I didn't have the range to myself this morning so I wasn't able to measure it with a long steel tape like I wanted to. According to the survey wheel the actual distance was 302'6" (I don't trust the calibration on the wheel and am fairly certain...

    Advanced Marksmanship Mil Ranging with the Weaver

    Re: Mil Ranging with the Weaver I verified the range with a Nikon laser range finder and got exactly 100 yards, also it is on an established range. I'll try the yardstick trick and take a survey wheel to verify the distance to the target also. Thanks for the input.

    Advanced Marksmanship Mil Ranging with the Weaver

    I bought a Weaver Tactical 3-10 from Midway. My concern is how precise is the mil magnification relationship. At exactly 100yds with a measured 11" tall target (sheet of paper) and scope set to 10x the mil spacing isn’t exact. (I essentially run out of magnification) 1) Is some error to be...
