    Range estimation error .338 Lapua vs. .375 Chey

    I know that the flatter a cartridge shoots the more room for range estimation error you have without it killing you. (think .223 vs .44 mag at 200 yards) I know that you still try to range as precisely as you can. But, how much additional "fudge factor" do you get with a .375 over a .338 at...

    Limiting factor in max range for any load?

    What is usualy concidered the major limiting factor in how far out you can push any load? I know if you zero for something rediculous like 800 yards with a 40 MOA base you can lobb rounds way out there....but with a moest zero like 200 yards? Transonic barier? Lack of elivation in your scope?

    Extreme Long Range Training - Interest Level?

    How many people would have an interest in having a 3 day XLR class here at Gunsite the week of October 19th? I've got an opening in the schedule and I know there were a few people who could not make the last class, so I thought I'd see if that date range worked for anyone.

    Remington 5R or Savage Long Range Precision Vrmntr

    Which would you choose, and why, for a rifle that needs to be as accurate as possible. Weight is not a big deal as I do not need to carry very far. I will be reloading my own. No need to shoot quickly, this is just for fun at the local range (100, 200 yards) shooting off a bipod. Might want...

    New SPS-T first trip to the range

    I finally got to the range today and tried out the new tactical 308. I only fired 25 shot but the last 5 seem to look promising. They were 155 SMK's with 44.5gr Varget. The MV was low(2570fps), so I may need to work it up a little. I am having an issue with the elevation of my scope. I...
