    Tikka 260 Rem - First 9 Shots With Different Charge Weights Have Flyers

    Very good catch, and a very good possibility! You should never shoot groups with a Magnetospeed on your barrel!!! Per my previous comments on barrel harmonics/whip, having the weight of a Magnetospeed on the end of the barrel will only amplify those issues. I only use a Magnetospeed on a barrel...

    Tikka 260 Rem - First 9 Shots With Different Charge Weights Have Flyers

    A Rem .260 with a 24"-26" barrel should easily be able to get a 140 class bullet up to at least 2650 fps if not 2700 fps with H-4350 which is the "best" powder for that application. H-4831SC is actually a slow burning powder for use in a Rem .260. Chances are that you are going to end up running...

    Tikka 260 Rem - First 9 Shots With Different Charge Weights Have Flyers

    Thinner profile barrels are notorious for being very sensitive to barrel harmonics/whip. If the velocity varies, then the bullet is exiting the barrel at different points in the barrel movement/whip. My comment was based on that, not strictly due to muzzle velocity impacting the external ballistics.

    Tikka 260 Rem - First 9 Shots With Different Charge Weights Have Flyers

    Your potential causes with the flyer always being the 3rd shot: Shooter - mentally & physically something is changing, which can be very common when you are anticipating the outcome of the final shot. Recommendation, go to a 5 shot group, and make sure to do your best with all of the...

    How is 7PRC better than 7 Rem Mag?

    Because the Military rarely picks anything solely based on the best performance! Hornady has obviously not learned how to play the procurement game!

    How is 7PRC better than 7 Rem Mag?

    Pretty much already said, but in a nut shell, a shorter & fatter case design is better than a longer & skinnier one. - A shorter & fatter powder column can burn more efficiently (with the correct powder) - A shorter case design allows the use of longer bullets without the OAL drawbacks of a...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    It looks like the approvals are still all over the place, with no reason to any of it. Multiple people are getting them approved in days, some in weeks, and some are still taking months. My latest, filed as an individual via eForms: #1 Certified June 19 - Approved July 18 #2 Certified Aug 6 -...

    Can muzzle brakes reduce or increase ES/SD?

    In terms of the Litz post, IMHO, the intent of the post is being misinterpreted! I don't believe that he is saying that the harmonics/movement/whip of a barrel has no impact on bullet dispersion. I believe that he is saying given the example that he posted in the video, there is a bigger...

    Can muzzle brakes reduce or increase ES/SD?

    Sorry, but if no one can post the actual source from Litz, then I am calling BS! Having been to numerous AB/Litz training events, he discusses the impact of harmonics/whip.

    How much magnification for 1 mile?

    It would be well worth a conversation with the range owner to see if they would allow you to install these. That would be with the understanding that you would purchase them and leave them for everyone to use. Having a flasher on the target could save you a lot of frustration, and with the price...

    How much magnification for 1 mile?

    As pointed out here, there should be many factors at play in your decision making process: Optical Clarity/Resolution - obviously not all optical elements are made the same. A Vortex Venom, Strike Eagle, Viper PST, and Razor are not all going to perform the same at 25x. When it comes to the...

    155's in a 308 gas gun

    YES! Trying to push the "heavies" in a semiauto (anything above 170) usually results in over-gasing the system, if you are trying to maximize velocity/performance. The over-gasing causes all kinds of issues to include malfunctions and trashed brass. Shooting the lighter bullets like the 155...

    100 yard accuracy not translating at further distance

    First let me start by saying that there could be several components that could produce this result, many of them have been mentions here. One that has not been mentioned, bullet damage. How consistently/well your bullet performs further down range, can be impacted on how bad the bullet is...

    Isaac Frank - Southern Indiana Precision

    Still very hard to believe. He was a true friend to everyone that he crossed paths with and to the shooting community. He was extremely hard working, honest, and helpful with everything. He left a hole in many ways that will never be filled. Rest In Peace.
