    DOPE issues compared to ballistics calculators

    I am shooting hornady factory 6.5 Creedmoor 147gr ammo. Up to 600 yards or so, results from both the Hornady 4DOF app and Applied Ballistics line up with my actual POI. However, at 685 yards both apps call for right around 4.4MRAD and my actual groups are 0.3MRAD below that. At 800 yards, both...

    KAC SR-25 PC vs WC-10 Recon Tactical, 16" .308

    Hello, does anyone know the technical differences from Knight's 16" PC .308 to Wilson's 16" recon tactical. I am trying to decide on a complete upper for my next "AR". Knight's lists their barrel as Mid-weight Contour, 5R Cut. They do not mention what their Mid-weight material actually is...

    Looking for some caliber ideas.

    Entry Long Range Hunting Rifle

    Hey folks - I’d like to get some input on an entry level LR hunting rig. Leaning towards an R700 Gen2 or a Seekins Havak PH2 in 6.5CM. Primarily South Texas so the weather could be -10 degrees at 9am and 105 at noon...sarcasm, but you get the point. This rig would mostly be used to take a crack...

    Best .338 Lapua Magnum under $2000?

    Hey forum, A while ago I took an interest in long range shooting/long range hunting. I bought my first rifle that would have been better than the old .30-06 that I used to use. It was a 7mm Rem Mag, and still performs great out to about 1100 yards, pulling off Sub-MOA shots for me. Past that...

    Hello everyone this is my first post. I recently got a chance to work with my units (ANG) sniper section and was really interested in moving into their teams.

    Challenges/Exercises for range time

    New-ish shooter here. I just bought a Tikka Tac A1 in 6.5 Creedmore with a VX-3i LRP FFP scope. I love it. I'm having a lot of fun at the Angeles shooting range out to 600 yds. Ideally, I'd be going out to longer distances going forward but I don't think there's a range in the LA area that...

    Long range/orienteering/speed competition...

    Good evening, Is there any kind of competitive event out there that combines multiple movements (like a course) with map and compass to get to a shooting location, locate the correct target, and then hit it from long range before proceeding to the next location and target?
