    Thoughts on the PVA "Jet Blast" - ULTRALIGHT

    I think the 2000 rounds thru it might be a bit optimistic but I'd bet it will run a thousand or better thru a 308 or short mag case with a reasonably long barrel. IMO- For a hunting rig it would be fine. For those that shoot a lot but also hunt. I would suggest getting the steel AND the...

    Hyper Stabilized Bullets - Jim Boatright

    Lapua is still making their 50 cal 750 Grain Bullex-N drilled base with a rebated BT. The BC is quoted at .96 G1

    Hyper Stabilized Bullets - Jim Boatright

    Many thanks, Jim.... Well done, sir. Very well done! The scary thing is I almost understand it. all. LOL.. Hope the testing confirms your research. I look forward to trying your bullets.

    Hyper Stabilized Bullets - Jim Boatright

    Thanks Jim! I too look forward to reading your revised paper... I am curious on your take of the ideal compromise for a boat tail design, The reason I am asking this is that the shape and length of the boat tail change the C and G from nose and therefore affects Sg at various mach speeds...

    7-300 PRC Initial Results - Winner

    I like the design of the 6.5 PRC cace too but with ADG making some high quality brass for the RUM and SAUM cartridges I don't think a 7-6.5 PRC version is needed. The 7 SAUM case only holds about 4 grains of powder more than a 6.5 PRC... And the 7 SAUM is well respected and used in the...

    7-300 PRC Initial Results - Winner

    You need to look over the specs for each case again. The 28 Nosler has about 7-8% more case capacity over a 7-300 PRC. That equates to about 60-75fps faster for the 28 Nosler.

    BWA 10x100

    There are stronger tool steel alloys out there such as H13 and 9310 and barrel nitriding would help some but IMO even ceramic coatings in the throat would degrade quickly under the extreme heat stress. IMO - we also need improvements in powder. A cooler burning dual base SLOW burning powder...

    BWA 10x100

    If it the cases can stand up to be resized and reloaded 5-6 times after being shot at 60-70K pressures it would be worth every penny!! That 10X100 case is a pretty sweet . It being a two piece design, they could easily start a whole new family of cases by using the same base and then varying...

    BWA 10x100

    I wonder just how well this case design would take to being reloaded?

    BWA 10x100

    Interesting..... Looks like it might be an improved 50BMG case pushing a 408 caliber bullet ?

    ELR Bipods

    Thank you Theis! Big fan of the Fortmeier. I really like the improvements that RPA have made to it. The Dolphin also seems pretty nice but I wonder if it can handle the weight and recoil of a BMG platform?

    ELR Bipods

    Talked to the maker of the LRA bipod about a year ago. Seems he had issues with local taxes and zoning regulations that wouldn't allow him to keep his shop open. He then looked to subcontract the major parts manufacturing to another individual/shop but for whatever reason that fell thru. Last I...

    Is .50 BMG dead?

    I would agree with you Theis but you can still do an improved version of the the 50 BMG that has about 12% more capacity and then have RCC engineer the case to handle the higher pressures. However this higher pressure thicker case design will lose about 4-6% percent of capacity. Still, with...

    New EnABELR

    That is a very complex subject dealing with internal ballistics and needs to addressed in a separate thread due to it's scope and diversity of the science involved..... Proper ignition of the powder column, burn rate, energy per grain of powder, etc... All this happening as the bullet is pushed...

    New EnABELR

    Basically the same ballistics. The 33 & 37XC are single feed only and uses a R 700 Lapua bolt platform. The EnABLER will work with a magazine but needs a heavier CT platform to do it

    New EnABELR

    I agree with you but then we didn't have the super long high BC solids 15 years ago. (magazine length) IMO - Their mentioned fouling issues are related to the powders used and respective barrel lengths. Was this ever really a problem? Not really... I would bet the same kind of questions were...

    New EnABELR

    You know, I think I have seen a very similar design once before...

    New EnABELR

    I think the only real reasons for this are the military/tactical aspects. It makes sense considering mag length, powder fill and available temp stable powders. Probably less issues with primer ignition too.
