    Tuners in question ?

    A buddy of mine is a flutter engineer that usually works with high flow pipes in nuclear power plants. The idea holds up with a significant caveat. He calculated out what it would take to give a quarter wave of adjustability on his 50 and ended up with two tungsten nuts that weighed three...

    375 CT vs 375 EnABELR

    It is not particularly common practice anymore but have you cast your chamber? It is cheap and there is nothing that will give you a better picture of the dimensions. Might be something trivial like a piece of debris stuck in the neck. Having a cast before you have fired it will be a good...

    ELR in Canada?

    I know a couple guys that are getting one squared away in south central Ontario but I haven't heard from them in a few months. I'll reach out and see where they stand. The big problem around the world is that it is hard to find elr match directors. I'm pretty much always looking for people...

    Ko2M 2022 Equipment List

    Here is the equipment list for 2022. Looks like the caliber preference towards larger is continuing but in different ways than have been previously seen. Adoption of 416 Barrett and 460 Steyr has not progressed but conversion from 375 CT to CT based 416 wildcats has. Notably the 416 Hellfire...

    Ko1M 2022 Ranking

    Here are the final updates to rank for the 2022 season. I'll expire 2019, recalculate and post the 2023 rankings soon. I'll be changing one small thing in the data cull which is that I will uniformly require two targets to be hit to get rank rather than having a range cutoff for when that...

    Which caliber is better

    First, if you would like to suggest a model that is better, I'm thrilled to try it. Always looking for a better predictive model. 4th at a match is cool but 4th out of 12 in which half the shooters are trying elr for the first time is not exactly bragging rights. 378 rank is pretty bottom of...

    Which caliber is better

    Fair enough. Tough conditions from what I heard. Just below 150 is a bit of a stretch though. -Alex

    Which caliber is better

    Oscar wouldn’t give me scores in the early years but the truth is that the format is pretty incomparable vs every other match in the country. Even with scores now public, I can’t convert those results into something slightly compatible. We do have matches starting up in NorCal next year. If you...

    Which caliber is better

    Charlie made the cut during registration. Derek and Tyson helped with stuff downrange so we gave them a pass on entry. We ended up with seven people downrange helping with target set up, take down, repainting and camera logistics. Match ran smoothly because of those people. Shooting order...

    Simple tuning for acceptable vertical spread?

    Can you tell us more specifics about your load? Have you shot a ladder? -Alex

    Which caliber is better

    We have told people for years that we didn’t want King to be their first match. It is more forgiving now with hit to move in the preliminaries but a lot of new shooters are probably going to be out of it after 13 shots. With matches around the country now, it isn’t hard to hit one and cut your...

    Which caliber is better

    It is a surprise to us too but if you look last year it was more or less the same. A lot of guys pair off with a spotter that doesn’t really shoot. That and when only half a team could make it, I hooked them up with people that wanted to come and most of them were under 150. -Alex

    Which caliber is better

    Right off the ranking list "Entry into Ko2M 2022 requires at least 1 member of a shooting team to have a rank of at least 150. Acceptance will be in order of rank and there are only 100 spots available." Spotters can shoot even if their rank sucks for the reasons explained above. We are...

    Which caliber is better

    So much for a relaxing day of hiking... Both last year and this year we let any qualifying shooter bring a spotter even if they were unranked. Breaking up spotter/shooter pairs would be terrible and it seemed unfair to have people get dragged all the way to the match and not be able to shoot...

    Which caliber is better

    We let people that qualify bring whoever they want as a spotter so we end up with a handful of people with low or no ranking. Same as last year in that regard. Most people that shoot with the same spotter come up in ranks together but there are some interesting exceptions. where you have a...

    Which caliber is better

    Justin Wolf 416 Hellfire Stan Cutsforth 416 Hellfire Rei Hoang 375 CT I wouldn't call the hellfire a slower 416. It sure as shit isn't "the 308 of 416s". The 416 Stroker mostly ate shit. -Alex

    World Record Extreme Long Range Shot 4.4 Miles

    They run one at the Whittington Center. You shoot mortars at a 55 gallon drum and you are scored on shot distance from the drum... Been thinking of making a bowling ball mortar for it. -Alex

    World Record Extreme Long Range Shot 4.4 Miles

    Entirely possible based upon what is written but the sound from the video is simply wrong and the angle of impact is wrong so I call bullshit. But by all means, show up to a match and show us what a badass you are... -Alex
