    Correct, as I proved with basic ballistic calculations what you are trying to do is substantially easier than F-class and benchrest, particularly when it comes to the requirements for ES/SD. The full-value windage difference at 500 yards with that 50fps ES I discussed to go along with the 1.8"...

    super trickler

    It doesn't depend how small you're shooting, it literally doesn't matter when the same repeatable small SD/ES numbers can be achieved on a number of other powder measuring platforms. The exact precision of your powder charge's weight is meaningless compared to the consistency of the end result -...

    super trickler

    The Prometheus is accurate +/- 1 kernel of Varget in weight, or about +/- 0.05gr of powder. The thing is, that kind of accuracy isn't required to accomplish the above stated goal (not missing a prairie dog) and it's not even required to achieve more difficult tasks like winning F-class and...

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    Hey now, this Kestrel is rated to be accurate in wind speeds up to over 80 miles an hour. I paid for the entire measurement range, by golly I'd like to use the entire measurement range!

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    It all began this morning when the forecast called for a stiff breeze out here in Colorado, and I figured it was the perfect time to practice my wind reading skills with a little shooting. I donned my trusty Applied Ballistics hat, adding a wrap or two of duct tape to keep it firmly attached...

    Firearms (Price Drops) M5 Mausingfield Barreled Action, MPA Comp Folder, and More

    It's less than 15 serials earlier than the headspace standardization that occurred at M5C1-TSR-00385. Current spec Mausingfield pre-fit barrels headspace ~6 thousandths longer than a minimum-spec go gauge. If your no-go gauge is 0.004 longer than minimum spec the bolt will close on that with a...

    Currently has exactly 789 rounds on the barrel, with documentation including the load used for each of those shots. The action itself has had either 4 or 5 barrels previous to this one, so probably around 10,000 rounds in total on the action with at least another 25,000 dry fires. It's very...

    How does humidity affect powder? A new experiment

    Spread it out to dry in a large container during a week when there was no rain or snow and the dew point stayed near the local average the entire week. Mixed/stirred it up once or twice a day during that time to make sure all kernels were appropriately exposed to ambient air.

    How does humidity affect powder? A new experiment

    I had a roommate in college who wanted me to store 40ish pounds of powder inside my self-sealing fireproof safe. He changed his mind when I agreed so long as he called the fire department and notified them of exactly how big a bomb he was requesting I made, to properly warn them in case there...

    PRS Talk PRS Gun Buggy/Cart/Stroller conversions.

    The way I see it, PRS shooting is no less a sport when using a cart than golf is a sport for players that use caddies. The physical aspect of it isn't getting from A to B, it's maneuvering during a stage (or during a golf swing) and being accurate with your shots. The only reason I wouldn't use...

    Open the doors...

    Honestly I just wish NRL and PRS would stop pretending like they're different from one another and just work together. So many people say they prefer one or the other, but realistically they're both the same thing. They have the same kind of stages, they have incredibly similar rules, and they...

    Biathlon shooters do not use slings, except to carry their rifles. They all use Olympic position for the standing portion of the course of fire. High power shooters also use the Olympic position for all of their standing shots. Here is 10x National Champion for match rifles Carl Bernosky...
