    50 bmg

    East coast rifle ranges are essentially always clubs. Pistol ranges are pay for play but for anything past 100 yards you are looking at a membership. Granted that might be all of $50 a year but with a waitlist years long. There is zero BLM land east of Texas so true public ranges are...

    ELR Specific press

    They mostly are, the bushings are the only difference but they make reloading with normal sized dies way faster cause you can just swap dies with a quarter turn. -Alex

    ELR Specific press

    Buy a 50 BMG press and be done with it. To be honest I usually resize even 223 in mine these days. The hornady is good because of the bushings. Measure it every which way you can when you get it to make sure it is square and just send it back for another if it isn't. -Alex

    Ko1M Results

    Ko1M started as an intro ELR match overseas for countries where running Ko2M was going to have very low turn out just because of the guns people owned or could own. In most of those countries now, 1 mile is also too close for the kind of ranges people are consistent at and they are moving...

    That is a fantastic list. Well done putting that together. One correction for you. Black Bear Shooting Club allows 50BMG at all times on targets past 600 yards. Not sure if Moccasin Valley Precision is an open range or not but I'll ask. -Alex

    So here are the prelim charts done the same way. Again at a glance there is mostly just random data. Ask a bunch of people to add a trend line on their own and you'd get different answers from them all. Asking a machine to do it and you get one that has negative slope both days. What is...

    Complex derivatives on match scores. What could go wrong! When I look at shooting order vs score, the result is almost always random. Some matches with dramatic shifts in weather show differences but it is often most surprising in how little of a difference it makes. It is in our nature to...

    Maybe best that you don't do statistics for a living then. This data is pretty close to random and the elimination of a single data point changes the trend line the other way. Any time you see a trend line where almost none of the data points are near the line, the trend line is bullshit. -Alex

    Goals?

    I suggest that your first goal should be to have fun. If you can't achieve that then you should give up on ELR. Beyond that, just try to improve every time you go shoot. -Alex

    Ko1M Results

    The thing that always surprises me is that at least in the finals where shooters can largely read the wind, the shooting order doesn't have a huge effect on outcome. Corrected vs shooting order it is enough to move you from 4th to 3rd but it is still very tight. Applying that kind of math in a...

    They are welcome to Come and Prove It. Until then it is just a paper tiger. I've yet to see one show up in match results and you can't buy brass anywhere so as far as I'm concerned after two years as vaporware, it is a failed project. So less badass and more just bad. I love that the one pic...

    Ko1M Results

    I think the good choices For Ko2M range from 375 CT up to 460 Steyr. Personally I tend to favor larger calibers just for the difference in splash downrange. I'll probably be converting one of my 50s to 460 in the near future but I would strongly recommend against an actual steyr though since...

    Easy button or the logical choice? 308 Win is a much more challenging choice but it is also pretty clearly the wrong choice. It isn't as easy of a choice for Ko2M but for Ko1M you can do the math fairly easily. -Alex

    Here is the equipment list. For people that are going to use this as a build list, my suggestion is that you look at trends rather than just go off the top. -Alex

    Congratulations to Clay, Ray and David! That was some excellent shooting! I'd like to thank our sponsors for their generous support again. We ended up with a really good prize table that all of the shooters were quite happy about. I'd also like to thank Brian Wink, Haley Hull, Randy Powell...

    Spuhr 20 MOA base.

    Maybe even a 60. With 110 MOA of adjustment on the scope you will still be able to shoot at close ranges if you want to and you will have decent reach. You'd cross over the center of the scope around 1600 yards and top out around 2500 yards. -Alex
