    Range Report A ballistic puzzle; or how to help a newbie figure out the wonder that is Ballistics AE

    See I wasnt putting it in as the difference, I was putting it in as what I actually hit the target at. So my -1.0 wasnt the difference between suggested and actual; at 200 yards I was at 1.0 minutes.

    the rifle is a standard, off the shelf 1963 Remington 700 in 7mm Rem Mag. 24" barrel with 1/9 twist. I worked backwards with the data I had, I did not know velocity going in. Average altitude is 952 feet above sea level

    Range Report A ballistic puzzle; or how to help a newbie figure out the wonder that is Ballistics AE

    For some reason I did not record the atmospheric pressure that day, and I cant even recall what it was. I did enter the drop in MOA units and I did click off drop is relative. Scope not tracking true? Do you mean that 25 minutes on my turret might not actually be 25 minutes of elevation?

    Range Report A ballistic puzzle; or how to help a newbie figure out the wonder that is Ballistics AE

    I use Ballistics AE and this question sort of ties to Ring's thread about the software. I'm having trouble getting accurate firing solutions with the software and I am not sure if I am doing something wrong (most likely) or maybe I've discovered some strange anomaly to long range shooting. After...

    Changing from H4350 to IMR 4350

    Post your results for this! I'm running really low on H4350 and might have to switch to IMR4350 as well. I can still find it and H4831, so I plan on testing them before the snow hits.

    Keeping your powder dry!

    My wife and I just bought a house and I immediately took over the basement for the new gun shop. The house had been vacant for almost a year so it had some mold and humidity problems in the basement. We got the mold taken care of, and with two humidifiers running, I think we have the humidity...

    7MM Remington Magnum

    I have a similar rifle to the OP that I bought just for the action. Turns out its a second year Remington 700 ADL (1963) in 7mm Rem mag. My original plan was to turn it into a 300 win mag configured exactly like my 260, but I really like the caliber so far. Thing is amazing accurate even with a...

    Rifle Scopes another viper pst goes down from 338 lm

    I am not a long experienced distance shooter, but this is the scope I have and I am extremely happy with it. I take most shots between 6-10 power, glass is very clear and the adjustments seem to be accurate.

    7MM Remington Magnum

    I'm curious about this topic myself. I recently picked up a 7mm rem mag cheap intending to switch it to 300 win mag for beyond 1000 targets.

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.

    A the rate I'm testing it to make sure it's not bad, there won't be any left to give you.

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.

    I suppose anything is possible, but I havent noticed anything weird while resizing that would indicate that. The next step for me will probably be to do as others have suggested and buy some real 260 brass. I was thinking about getting some Norma brass and trying it out. Is it possible that...

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.

    I've had to trim this brass with every firing which I think is a sign of thin/low quality brass. When I first ran it through the sizing die and turned it into 260 I had to trim it. I might have to try the 4831 if I can't get any more 4350, I'm down to less than 3 pounds and I shoot quite abit.

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.

    Its a new barrel on a fairly new rifle and bolt. I've put about 300 rounds through it so far (I have the exact count but not in front of me). The prvi brass is obviously not lapua quality, but the primers dont feel like they are excessively hard to press in, nor do they fit loose. Some of them...

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.

    Yeah, thats what it seems like. Ill see if I can get a picture of one real quick. Best group, thats a 1" square at 100 yards. I think more of it was the load than me, I felt my shooting was pretty squared away today.
