cold

I did some searching, and couldnt find anything on this topic, so please forgive me if something has already been posted. I would appreciate any information you folks can help me out with. About three months ago, I bought a Christensen Ranger and have had absolutely zero issues with it until...

Picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6 creed for a cheap coyote gun. Brought it to the range today and it was all over the place. I got it as close as I could at 50 yards and at 100 the spread was terrible. Almost a foot in every direction. The scope and rings are torqued to spec and leveled...

Hi all, hoping to hear from people who hunt with their XLR chassis in the cold and are more ingenious than me. I’ve got an Element Gen 2 (with mlok slots) that I love but I had an issue last year with the fore-end freezing to my pant leg while sitting (lol welcome to Maine). I currently have...

I have used Castrol motor oil for my MR223 and it is perfect for it. But I read about how motor oils actually worked after seeing a video about coagulation/flocculants of water which diverted me to wikipedia, to read about motor oil additives. As ARs do not regurly have oil filters on them the...

Hey. I was recently out hunting with my new mdt lss chassie for my rem700 rifle. And found it to suck the heat out of my hand. Do anyone have an idea how to insulate the front without adding alot of rails with covers?

I have about an inch high cold bore shot.(barrel had about 20-30 shots threw it) Shots 2-4 are holding together good. I'm new to long range shooting. I'm curious if this is normal? How do I accommodate for this while hunting? Do I create two different ballistic programs? Any help would...

OK guys, how much of a shift is there from your cold bore shot vs. firing on a warm bore? How much do you think your bore warms up by firing one shot? I have reasons for asking that I will post later. Thanks in advance, Hootie

OK, so I have been watching all the back and forth banter going on here lately over the "CB Deviation". I was asked to go out and shoot and record my findings..... easily done. This morning: 86 degrees 30.76 InHG 3-5 mph from the right 4700 ft ASL 39% humidity Sun, directly in my face and a...

JBed out? I'll be posting some pics of targets showing that (here comes some controversy), a gun's CBZ errors can be eliminated by re-conditioning the barrel with JB. This is sure to start some discussion!! Maybe not the best place for ELR discussion, but when you're talking about 2000 yard...

if anyone has a strange desire to buy a stripped noveske lower from cold war shooters at a price of 299 they show to have them i bought one and paid the price to have a matching receiver to my upper, this one is getting SBR'd

I have built (mostly rebuilt) a remington model 700 Chambered in 30-06. I made the barrel from 404 stainless and had it flash heat treated. the bolt was a mcm bros that is fitted to the action and barrel. the stock is a hand made peice from carbon fiber resin and has been floated to not...

Kind long, but bear with me. I just did an experiment with my 300 WM & H-Retumbo. Some may remember that I asked a question about cold velocity's a while ago, as my pet load of 78gr H-Retumbo with 208 A-Max that usually gives 2911 fps had changed. That load was tested in 50* temps. During the...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how much I need to adjust between cold bore and warm? How do I determine that?

I know they have a bolt with small channels cut into it, to give it less surface area for icing, and a exteneded magazine release, but it that it? Could you upgrade an AE with those simple things, say by getting a gunsmith to partially flute the bolt and order in a spare extended mag release?

has anyone had problems stabilizing high b.c. bullets in cold temperatures? ive been working with a 6xc and 115 vlds loaded to 2950 to 3000 fps. testing at 5 to 20 degrees f. a friend told i should check into this. i cant get it to group better than 1" at 100 meters. thanks for any input...

Need some good cold weather lube for my 700, browning buckmark, and ruger 10/22. The autos don't like to work so well when it's 20 below out... Thanks
