    Denver 7-11 Hostage (taker) Shot - why the torso?

    Damn shame there is no qualified snipers in this whole forum that could state a condition where such a shot would be preferred over a head shot or how the bullet likely ended up where it did such as, oh, say perhaps, glass deflection. Or, as an LEO, are you implying there is no tactical or...

    POLL - Most COMPLETE ballistics app

    I am not a fan of Android and all of Google's privacy invasions nor an I a fan of Apple with it proprietary hardware and cult like following. That said, I would still pick Loadbase/Coldbore as my choice. It is user friendly, accurate and suits my needs. It is also supported on the desktop, PDA...

    Berger Bullets Reloading Manual (1st Ed) Opinions

    It is a good reference but I agree probably not the best choice for beginners. Of importance also is the fact that none of the .338 loads (WM, WSM, LM, Edge, RUM), 338-378 and 340 Weatherby Magnum loads made the publishing deadline and, as a result, are not included in this first edition. They...

    Either a brilliant idea or a full retard idea. Which one is it?

    As others have stated, annealing brass does not require quenching unlike some other metals.

    Which Redding dies to get?

    With your stated goal of a good group at 600 yards, in my opinion, you really don't need a bushing type die. I would suggest you look either Redding's or Foster's die set with full length sizing dies and a micrometer seating die. The sizing die would need to be properly set up for your rifle...

    Anyone loading 300 Norma or 338 Norma on a Dillon 550

    Great Question. The comprehensive Excel spreadsheet found on Brian Enos' forum doesn't have either listed at all for the 550 and only the 300 for the 650. You may want to check out his website and call for a recommendation as his order page does allow for unlisted types. I order all my Dillon...

    Satelite Phones

    You haven't missed anything. The phone can receive but not send text messages. Supposedly you can call the number that sent the message if it is available and showing. The web link to send text doesn't have a field for return number and I don't know of another way to send messages to the phone...

    GUNSTRUCTION - Open Beta, opinions wanted!

    Sorry, not going to install another media player to take a look. I know little about the Unity player and don't really like things that 'clutter' my system. I'm sure you have reasons for going that route but when I click a link that wants me to install something, my first reaction is to close...

    Help with Kestrel Please,

    That's true. If you're just going to use absolute pressure for shooting calculations, use 0 for the altitude so no other corrections are made. Just be aware that if you want to use these features for other things a reference is needed.

    Help with Kestrel Please,

    Have you referenced NK's help reference guide or the manual on this subject. See Alt_Baro_3 for a good overview of the subject. You'll need to provide a reference barometric pressure or altitude as described in the manual to provide a known reference point for tracking as discussed in the...

    Power Pro 2000 MR Problems?

    They're both manufactured by the same company but to different specifications. Treating them as being the same is NOT a good idea. Taking something posted like this blindly as factual without doing your own research is also never a good idea.

    What gives with posts being "edited" by others??

    Proof positive that one should sometimes avail themselves of the opportunity to remain silent when they don't have the facts rather than speak up and later hope no one was listening....
