    Standard deviation issues.

    Thank you for your input. I’ll go back to the drawing board and see if I can muster up something more. Gonna try some Berger VLD’s and back to ladder tests!

    Standard deviation issues.

    Was looking for some insight on a hunting/target load for my weatherby vanguard in 300 WinMag. Been working up with different powders and bullets trying to find something that will shoot decent with a relatively low S.D. <10fps is good enough for me, <5fps is even better. So far 7828, and...

    Range Report Anyone try the Hornady 143 ELD-X

    I decided a little while back on using the 143s for target/hunting. Shoots really well out of my savage in 6.5CM. At that time the 140s had a lower B.C than the 143 Eldx. I did some playing around with the 147s but I just couldn’t push them fast enough In order for it to make sense ballistcally...

    Would you support age restriction on semi-auto firearms?

    So true. Not to go all tinfoil hat... but the gun “control” debate is just that. A method of control. It isn’t about the bump stocks. It’s not about triggers or other methods that increase fire rate, or magazines that carry 30 or more. It’s just methods to control, limit the availability and...

    Rifle Scopes Best option for scope, shvf1 tx5i

    I own the T5xi 3-15 and I can say it has done me well. Paid about what you are going to but only for the15x. I think the biggest thing that turned me off about the nightforce is the 5Mils/turn, smaller main tube, same weight and less adjustment range. The 56mm lens and 34mm tube bring in tons of...

    High BC .30 cals vs 6.5s

    All depends on use and money! It’s tough to find a “do it all rifle” even tougher to find a “do it all caliber” As said before 6.5s kill animals just fine. took two deer last year using hornady 143ELD-X. One dropped on impact, the other got about 3 steps before it was over, now these shots were...

    Debating nightforce atacr f1 5x25 vs the 7x35 for ELR

    Nooo. Lol shooting white steel. Could barely see gray splatter but it wasn’t a very convincing sight once it was all said and done had to check target to actually confirm

    Rifle Scopes Going from ffp to sfp for hunting

    It’s tough to find a good FFP scope that comes in a hunting weight That has the ability to dial and reticle to match. I’ve spent some time looking for some and most of them in the 15x max mag range are around 2lbs for the most part. A lot of extra weight to be carting around, and the 20+ mag...

    Debating nightforce atacr f1 5x25 vs the 7x35 for ELR

    Moral conundrums. I’m having the same one myself. It would be nice to have the extra elevation and 25x would be plenty for that shot with clear glass and decent conditions. The extra elevation would allow you to take it further without use of holdovers, and you’ll probably have a spotter with...
