    Range Report Does elevation affect muzzle velocity?

    Altitude is irrelevant. What matters is the mass per unit volume and temperature as factors which affect velocity decay enough to matter. That is why DA is a commonly used variable in ballistics, artillery, and aviation. The formula PV=nRT (Pressure x Volume = number of moles x Gas Constant x...

    Get Out of Stocks ...

    Bet on Trump winning so I adjusted my IRA holdings in September 2016. Then I sold off about 20% of my IRA holdings last week. :) Waited for the dip and then reallocated. FLIR has made me smile many times in the past 18 months, they release their 2017 full year financials on 2-14-18. Just...

    Help poke holes in this "Build"

    I'd go with a Nordic Upper receiver, Bergara barrel, and a Nordic XL handguard ($305 and better than what you listed) https://nordiccomp.com/categories/ar-15-a3-forged-upper/ http://shop.bergarausa.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=60417F6E452249D4B3F41CDB8D168752...

    Bergara HMR Pro

    Local Gun Store. The one I use only has one distributor that carries Bergara and has a "notify me" on one, but they won't let them actually pre-order it, so I am first on his list, but he would not take my money until he actually gets on on the way.

    BEST BOLT GUN FOR around $2K

    I think they are all a little better than the RPR. The RPR came first and got a lot of folks into their first precision rifle even if they don't use them to their full capability. It has been plagued with poor shooters using cheap glass giving it poor reviews, so it is hard to sift that all...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope suggestion

    I run a XTRII 2-10 on my hunting .243Win. Great choice if you plan to dial most of the time . When I am Deer and Elk hunting, I actually prefer and MOA optic as it is just a little simple when you have that shot without a lot of time to get everything dialed in. My 13 year old has a B-14 HMR...

    .224 Valkyrie

    I got to be on glass several times for Mike at Mile High shooting a .224 Valkyrie at the local match 3 weeks ago, 87 to 1124 yards. It was challenging past about 700 yards to see impacts on target, splashes in dirt berms and impossible in grass, but I don't think I missed any impacts. On...

    BEST BOLT GUN FOR around $2K

    There is a good amount of choice in that space, here are 7 off the top of my head that would be worth looking at. Bergara (HMR, BMP, LRP), Havak Pro HP1, PVA John Hancock, T3X Tac A1, MPA BA Lite PCR.

    .224 Valkyrie

    I have a 22" JP on order with the extended gas. I too am looking at the 95g and hoping it will work as well.

    First PRS Shoot - Couple Questions

    I am left handed, but right eye dominant. Lucky to have had a guy who knew what he was doing when I was 10 and taught me to shoot from the weak side because vision is so important. Felt natural after a few months.

    .243win 26' to 20/22' who's done it?

    The 103 ELDx is the best I have seen and it does well out far. The Barnes look and sound cool and all, but they do not expand (pencil through) when the velocity falls off below about 2100 fps. I have given up on them for all game past just a few hundred yards or so.

    800 yard AR15 223

    I built a 24" Krieger 1:7.5 twist with a Wylde chamber and an extended length gas system several years ago. Mostly shot 77 SMKs and 75 Sciroccos over Accurate 2495. I was using LC brass and 5.56 load data at 2.26" which takes you to 62Kpsi and around 2850 fps. I reworked some magazines I...

    Bergara HMR Pro

    Ian, I have seen some video of the 300WM B-14 HMR from SHOT, I think if you search, you can find it. While barrel replacement is easy, one of the things that has drawn me towards the HMR is that the factory rebarrel (with refinish) is $500 and they can do any profile, twist, chambering that...

    Bergara HMR Pro

    Street price is looking to be in the 1400 to 1450 range, and I doubt a dealer had one at $2500 for anyone to touch since only the few prototypes are out. First production ones won't be ready until end of Feb to beginning of March. Several LGS have taken orders for them from $1420 to $1550...

    First PRS Shoot - Couple Questions

    It will somewhat depend on what "style" of match you are going to. We have 4 around here, one is a positional field match that is frankly very challenging. Another is a belly match where you shoot known distance targets from prone only. 1. I have yet to shoot more rounds than required at any...

    9mm vs. 300 bo subs; over penetration in home defence?

    I've done a bit of comparison testing between .223, 9mm, 300BO and 10mm from AR platforms in terms of terminal performance, suppressed and unsuppressed, super and sub-sonic. There are a lot of variables (noise, penetration, distance) that relate to shootability and others that relate to on...
