You guys are all funny.

All I see is JMB laughing in his grave because he designed it all and you all want to give glock credit.

The only thing glock did was injection mold a frame. Striker fired guns have been around over a hundred years.

Apologies if I’m just not looking hard enough but I can’t find Max Ord anywhere ?

Any plans to incorporate multiple wind zones in later releases ?

Thanks

Currently under discussion.

You will have to re-enter them, but the data is there.

Only 40 profiles will be displayed at once, you must use the search function if you have more than that.

Does the free app upload to the cloud or otherwise monitored? Lol

Is it free standing after loading?

Yes, the free version will backup to the cloud. It isn't "monitored" but you can turn on/off the ability to send us crash/bug data. The app will function free standing but you might miss out on updates with no internet connected like the bullet library and reticle library. And new app features.

The reason people were better motivated in the past is war. The farther in time from war, the less motivation. Post WW2 people were excited and motivated to succeed. They had pride in their work. They were looking forward to retirement and a pension. They could afford cars and houses. Different times. Today, democrats have debased the work force to the point of no return. Thats what communism did in Eastern Europe. Thats why communism doesn’t work. That’s where we are today. Communism in a new wrapper.

I think your right but the “wrong” reasons.

War..the whole country was mobilized and most young men (the actual useful workforce of the economy) were either in the mil or defense mfg

That means they were trained with discipline and task orientation. 6 million men in the army came out and needed a job. That’s 6 million men who were trained to listen, complete, teamwork and had a decent grasp of common sense.

That makes a great work force

Gonna get tough boys. My best buddy for the last 12-1/2 years, and protector of my family has reached a point where it's not fair to continue to watch him deteriorate. He's such a proud boy, I don't want to wait until he's ashamed of himself. He's been going down for a bit now and has lost feeling in his back half. I was trying to get one more Christmas with him but he fell down the stairs this morning when we were leaving for church and I think the time has come. He isn't injured but he was embarrassed, and there's other issues with him not being able to feel to go to the bathroom ect.

Some of us get that one dog that is just amazing and we won't ever really get over. He is mine. This week is gonna be ruff.

I've been through that situation, and it sucks. My sympathies are with you.

I'm wanting a 6.5cm chamber, that has a slightly shorter free bore than the typical saami spec reamers out there. Do I have to order a custom reamer, or does the smith just not plunge the reamer in so deep to get that shorter freebore. Anyone know?

There are quite a few shops that offer shorter freebore chambers.

sorry for your loss. My boy is 10, almost 11 now. Last year I picked up a girl pup and sometimes I feel bad when I see her jumping all over him. He’s definitely slowed down in the last 2 years.

All we can do is give them the best life we can offer, you will see her again.

No it doesn't bc it doesn't tell you anything about what the terminal performance is going to be. You can shoot a mono bullet, a match bullet and a varmint bullet all same weight with same impact velocity out of same gun and get 3 completely wound channels based on the bullet choice. The "energy" is the same though, yet performance completely different. It's a meaningless number in itself. Bullet choice>

You can have three differently constructed bullets like you said , let’s say a varmint bullet, a FMJ and a bonded hunting bullet, all the same weight going the same speed. Let’s also say for simplicities sake they impact at the same velocity which therefor makes impact energy the same, right? Not completely, an FMJ, as we all know, will typically zip right through an animal, poking a pencil hole with very minimal terminal effect and very little of the impact energy shed into the target. On the flip side, the varmint bullet will potentially explode within the first few inches on contact with tissue, depositing all of its energy in the critter. The bonded bullet is the happy medium, it offers (hopefully) controlled expansion and bullet retention to deposit a significant amount of energy into the animal, ideal terminals effect, and potentially another hole with a pass through.

In a nutshell, impact energy only matters when factored into bullet construction and as mentioned above. It’s a part of terminal ballistics, along with impact velocity to facilitate the deformation of the bullet. The new trend to shoot these stupid small cartridges and bullets at big critters, citing “impact velocity is all that matters” is a joke. Energy, bullet weight, bullet diameter, sectional density and tissue density where the shot lands are also crucial factors in how things are killed efficiently.

Truthfully I’m just about over 22lr.
Not selling them but haven’t been shooting them nearly as much

I have to go to a range so maybe if I shot off the back deck it would be different

Fun and cheap but shooting 100-200 yards gets boring. Yes you can shoot farther but you get what I mean

No recoil gets boring

No noise gets boring

I’ll prob swing back but right now, it’s not in my car every range trip

But not as cool as HTG desert smears…..

Quackaddict · Dec 15, 2024

Of the cartridges you list the 7prc or 7mag would be about ideal for an all around, plenty of weight and energy for elk, good enough for a stray moose, and good ballistics for long range should you choose to do so. I’d personally pick a 7prc because of the barrel twist in factory rifles favoring heavy bullets, the 7prc is also easier to handload than the 7mag.

I think you could do “everything” with anything 6.5prc/270 and up, but I don’t know why you’d risk a possible lifetime opportunity on a moose because you didn’t bring enough gun.

Accuracy International AE MKII .308 Proof Carbon Fiber Barrel, Schmidt & Bender PMII Scope

1" washers at 100 yds
Login to view embedded media

The Accuracy Enforcement is a bolt action sniper rilfe of UK origin. The Accuracy Enforcement model was developed in the early 2000's by Accuracy International to better suit the demands of law enforcement agencies. Many police units acquired the Arctic Warfare rifle, but paid for many military features they would not use. The Accuracy Enforcement was developed as a budget tactical rifle that still delivers good performance, but at a lower price.

Design

The first generation AE model didn't allow for customization in order to keep costs low. All AE models are completely similar. The chassis is a simplified monoblock version of the original design. The stock is not adjustable, no cheekpiece is fitted and a non swiveling bipod is mounted under the forearm. The bolt design is simplified and the excellent cold temperature performance is lost. The barrel is not fitted with a muzzle brake. The original AE was replaced by the AE Mk II. The Mk II uses the common chassis available in multiple colors, allows for two barrel lengths, uses different magazines and has a swiveling bipod.

Firepower

The AE fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round from a 5, 8 or 10 round magazine. Compared to the Arctic Warfare models the AE uses a similar bolt design, two stage trigger and free floating barrel. Therefore the accuracy should be on par with the Artic Warfare Police series. The effective range is quoted by Accuracy International as 600 meters, which more than enough for law enforcement use.

Another trip out with the 16" ballistic advantage stainless SPR barrel, 1/8 midlength gas.

Gusty L-R 8 - 15 mph
4x optic with 2 moa center dot
101y 53 degrees F
Orange dots are 3"

Gonna play with seating depth on the 62 fmj on a calmer day, seems to shoot about the same no matter the powder charge. Could be the 4x optic with 2 moa dot too. Not the best for precision.

7SAW for a SA standard bolt face inside of 300 yards with 145 LRX or 162 ELDs
7SAUM for a XM mag bolt face inside of 500 yards with 175-180s
7PRC for a LA inside of 700 yards with either the 160LRX or 180 ELDs
Honorable mentions: 280AI in a LA, 7 Rem mag if you want easy to find factory ammo in a LA, 7mm-08 for factory ammo in a SA
7mm is the angel of death. All of my buddies who used to hunt with 338 went back to 7mm. Easier to shoot, decent recoil, excellent ballistic.
Buddy of mine tagged a moose at 600 yards with a 7mm-08 with 162 AMAX couple of years ago.
300WSM, 3006 and 308 also works fine.

EXSOCAL · Dec 15, 2024

As far as cartridges go, the 06 is just a generally outdated cartridge design. That doesn’t mean it’s bad and can’t kill shit, but with other stuff out there with just as plentiful factory ammo available, I don’t see why anyone still uses it, other than, “it’s what my grandpa used…” It’s inefficient, requires a long action and if your going to go with a long action, my mind says you should make use of it.

When comparing apples to apples in factory ammo offerings, you only get around 100-130 fps more out of the 06 over the 308 Win. I’ll take a 308 any day over the 06 for general target and hunting work, but if I were looking for a one size fits all cartridge for NA critters, my choice would be a big 30 all day. 300 Win is great for factory ammo but once again, not the best cartridge design. The short neck sucks, the belt is a relic of the old times and most of us abandon it and load 300WM based on the traditional Head / Shoulder datum setup for our chambers.

300 PRC is as readily available in all my local shops, big and small, when compared to 06, maybe even more so in some. I’ve had some very good shooting 300 WM’a but I’ve found the 300 PRC’s shoot factory ammo better in general and are easier to tune in for reloading. Just my experience, and despite what people may say, cartridge design does contribute to potential accuracy.

Regarding that old worry about “if I fly somewhere and lose my ammo or my ammo is destroyed, I need to find it in a gun store, etc., etc., etc….” Well, that lines right up with the rest of those useless worries we have. I fly regularly with my rifle for hunts, matches and work, most airlines allow you to pack ammo in the factory boxes in your gun case. If your rifle doesn’t show up at baggage claim, then your ammo doesn’t either so time to switch to plan B and use your partners rifle or go buy a new one to use for the trip. If you wanted to be extra prepared, pack some ammo in your gun case, and pay a few buck to pack another couple boxes in another small pelican case so they are separate. Add one more layer of protection and ship a few boxes of ammo out to the lodge, hotel or range you are shooting at. If that’s your only option, send the ammo well in advance so you know it arrived safely. Also, just in the last couple of years I’ve been to some pretty small towns on hunts with populations hovering around 1k or less in always hit the local gun shop and they always have the popular players in stock.

There’s some rambling up there but hopefully that helps.

I was a cabinet maker/ furniture maker in my youth. Wood came in rough sawn and we took it from there.

It's becoming a lost art. In Norcal I built stuff like this (walk in wine room using leftover material from his kitchen) but here in surburban arizona they hate it, they want that frameless painted euro factory crap:

For you, send this ticket in using the in app Support function so we can take a closer look please.

If you are on the newest version, check at the bottom of your profiles and see if you have a "recover classic profiles" button. Not everyone will have this, but if you backed them up you might.

I have that option but it appears like I have to re-enter them? At least the data is there.

Also does it only allow a certain amount of profiles to be displayed on the profiles page?

Thanks

Shifty6BR · Dec 15, 2024

No reloading..I've been having a hoot lately with some tuned up magnum rimfires as well.

Have to throw on the muffs for those but again....shoot all day, no reloading.

ATF form 5 them to herself for $5? I think and keep them

Or, sell them to a FFL with a SOT.
