    215gr Beger Hybrid VLD with a 30-06?

    Thank you everyone. I just received data from Berger, but I like to look at multiple places before I load in case one source is just plain wrong.

    215gr Beger Hybrid VLD with a 30-06?

    I recently purchased a box of 215gr Berger Hybrids to shoot with my '06, the only problem is that there is virtually zero data on this load. I am fairly new to reloading and have loaded 168gr SMK's and 168gr VLD's with unsatisfying results in long range performance. I will be using H-4350, I...

    Does hail effect the bullet?

    I was more of which wondering if the bullet would even hit the hail, like how rain does not effect it because of the supersonic "wave" around the bullet. I was more just curious because it was hailing and it intrigued my mind. Where I live it can be hailing but still great visibility, it's not...

    Loads for 30-06

    What length barrel you running? I actually was planing on getting 185gr Bergers, but could not find them anywhere and was eventually persuaded to get 168s do to the velocity difference. With the SMK's, my primers where getting fairly flatted. Have you ever tried 210gr Bergers? The 210gr is the...

    Loads for 30-06

    I just got through a box of 100 168 gr SMK that shot great until it hit 1000yds, it then went transonic and tumbled, but at 100yd .375" 3 shot groups with a factory 700 ADL, I was very happy to say the least. I was loading 57.5 gr H-4350, Rem brass, Win Large Rifle primers, 3.300 Coal, the load...

    Rifle Scopes 500-700$ budget

    I have a Weaver Grand Slam Tactical from Midway (the only place you can get it), it is a 3-9x40mm Mil Dot/.1Mil Adjustments. I have shot out to 800yds on a 8 1/2 steel plate. It's clear and has reliable, repeatable adjustments, but it can't get me out to 1000yds without having to use the mil...

    Does hail effect the bullet?

    I've read from here and a few other places that rain does not effect the path of the bullet, or at least not enough to make a difference, but what about hail? Does anyone have any experience with shooting in hail, if so what happened, how did it throw the bullet off, ect.

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    I was once told by a 13 year old that he had a .243 and that he was able to shoot, with every shot, a small plastic army man at 1500yds at night.

    At what range and beyond should I worry about the Coriolis effect?

    Thank you, but at what range should I start to worry about it's effects? I will be shooting 10" to 15" gongs and will be shooting silhouettes soon.

    At what range and beyond should I worry about the Coriolis effect?

    Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the long range shooting deal, and have heard that the Coriolis is a semi big deal at 1000yds. Is it really a big deal, if so what range does it start to majorly effect the path of the bullet? Shoot a Rem700 in 30-06 with a 168gr SMK at 2850fps 10ft from the...
