Bump, no 168 gr in stock anywhere?

Thanks Mile High has 155 gr in stock and is expecting 168 in a couple weeks! 168 gr anywhere now?

I can't ever seem to find enough of this. Looking for conplete rounds, not just bullets for reloading. I've got it for around $27 per box recently. Hoping to find someone who has regular stock for <$30/box. Thanks much.

This Easy, cheap & clean CA legal SCAR mod is the cleanest and nicest approach to this I have found. It is like the "bullet button" of folding stocks. I started down the road of designing my own system and bringing it to the market. Then I got busy with two little ones... Unfortunately, you need...

Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in. I'm still working on consistency at 100 yards. I shoot my semi-auto (SCAR 17) much more consistently generally around 1 MOA at 100 yards. That rifle seems quite capable of out-shooting me, but unfortunately the Remington 700 perhaps doesn't, even just at 100 yards...

Thanks but seems a fair bit off topic. Error located, it was significant. Remaining factors are ALL insignificant compared to the G1/G7 issue. I work in the engineering software simulation space and one of my motto's is "garbage in, garbage out." The chrono was calibrated by the factory. By...

Thanks Cory/LL. Just before your post LL - I found the problem and it appears to be a bug in Shooter. I re-entered my round from scratch and it auto-populated a drastically different BC than the one already stored (also auto-populated upon initial entry). Again my intent was to use Litz BC with...

Nope, that's why I am asking for some help.

I found one or more online sources for this round in the same length barrel providing a corroborating mv. I also chronoed FGMM 168 gr at 2583 (yes I know not the same powder or powder weight). Nothing perfect here but I hope to not have to invest in a big complicated chrono system. Even a change...

Thanks for the cordial response on the "stupid questions" section. I perhaps mistakenly assumed that meant "no such thing as a stupid question". I provided the Chronograph type in the OP. It is a magnetic Magnetospeed barrel mounted chrono that has been tested by the prestigious Southwest...

Using fully manual atmospheric conditions instead of pulling them automatically and using 77 °F, 0 ft elevation and 29.92" Hg (quite a few slightly different definitions of std. conditions) still gives me 4.0 mils. Spin drift and coriolis are enabled but certainly insignificant. Being here in...

-20" Remington .308, heavy barrel -1:10 rifling -SWFA 5-20 SS scope (have not verified travel and return to zero, trusting the manufacturer) -100 yard zero (sub-MOA capable but typically shoots 1-2 MOA, overall not too happy with this) -scope height: 1.85" -Hornady TAP A-MAX 168 gr (factory...

Perhaps in order of significance or likelihood, what are the factors in a ballstics app most likely to be the source of discrepancies between required actual elevation and predicted elevation? I think I can safely assume that my chrono data, ballistics model and coefficients are good to go. The...

Bought 2 sets, funds sent by paypal. I take it no risk of less engagement between turret and spindle, no risk of set screw not having plenty of space to grab?

+1

Some counterpoints: -Mag availability comes and goes, stock up when you need to, then no worries -I run the Troy Micro flip up tritium sights, work great. That being said there are not many sights short enough for the large rail to barrel height. -Thin barrel hasn't prevented many of us...

A big +1, this is right on the money. +1 to the other skeptics as well. Heck there is not even a control established here by shooting whatever strings/groups with no changes to torque. Once that is done some basic statistics on comparison of means is required. The proper procedure is called...

Not true, neither in theory nor in practice. Case and point is that a modern jumbo jet is orders of magnitude more reliable than a small single piston engine Cessna. More in the firearms domain I'd guarantee the best top end semi-autos are more reliable then the bottom of the barrel cheapo bolt...

Cool. You're probably already aware of this feature but just in case not - OnTarget has a calibration feature. For example when I use 3" ShootNC's their OD is exactly 3.0". I draw the calibrate line across it and enter 3 then I am good to go.

Nice rifle. Not to be too much of a stickler but are you sure that OnTarget is calibrated correctly. Your lower right group looks a bit larger than 0.88 MOA. It looks closer to 1 MOA. Didn't really look carefully at the others.
