    The new 33XC & 37XC cartridges designed by David Tubb

    Theis, We did not shoot 1500 yards while at Blakely. All the shooting we did was at 1000 yards. I was only using 1500 yards as a reference point for 10 mils of elevation with the 33XC combination. We were testing some 300gr bergers and some solids. We also did a good bit of testing with the...

    The new 33XC & 37XC cartridges designed by David Tubb

    The 33XC is the logical choice for anyone wanting a bit more performance over the 338LM. All that is necessary is to punch out the chamber and get a set of reloading dies. Given the cartridge length increase the 33XC will be a single load proposition in Lapua sized rifles. At the Precision...

    Rifle Scopes Sneak Peek-Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 FFP New for 2019

    Canezach, A zero stop for the SV is currently in the works. 5 mils of elevation pretty well covers most cartridges to about 700 yards and 10 mils (2 revolutions) covers most out to about 1050 yards. If a higher intensity cartridge is used the figures generally span from about 800-1200 yards...

    Barrier Round?

    If you want straight line penetration through multiple walls, etc. get yourself a hard flat nose projectile of at least 65% meplat diameter. We have done lots of testing with various nose shapes. Both round nose and spitzer projectiles do not penetrate straight, softs or solids. My...

    Barrel block

    (y)(y) up on the barrel block idea!!!! It reduces all the stress on the receiver threads and stiffens everything. Most importantly it reduces the cantilevered weight. A win all the way around.

    New Sako Trg 22/42 A1

    The new Sako TRG 22/42-A1 has several features common to the TRG M10. The trigger group in the new A1 variant is the same as in the M10. Sear engagement is slightly different than the standard TRG trigger. The M10 trigger offers better drop test results. Also, the folding buttstock is the...

    Flatline bullets group buy?

    Jbailey, Thank you for your concerted reply. What part of the country are you located? If you are ever in the Southeastern portion of the USA please look me up. I would really like to see the 198gr 30cal pills in action on paper and steel at distances between 1000 and 2000 yards. If you are...

    Flatline bullets group buy?

    Fursniper, 1000 yard testing was only mentioned as it is the benchmark distance for evaluating loads, determining projectile SD (Oehler 88), elevation, etc. Have you tested the flat line projectiles against the SMK's or Hybrids on paper at 1000 yards? If not, you might want to perform that...

    Flatline bullets group buy?

    Fursniper, What kind of 1000 yard ten shot groups are you getting? I have yet to see a turned .338 solid out shoot a lead core jacketed bullet at any distance. I am interested in your results. EJ

    Best Long Range Cartridges of All Time?

    JMAR, "Surely there are some experimental WW2 rounds or something that went miles without going transonic?", Supersonic at two miles from a shoulder fired rifle is a TALL order regardless of case capacity, bullet design and altitude fired. Gerlich experimented with squeeze bores, however the...
