    What .223 brand/round for a 16" barrel?

    Really? The sole purpose of the spin imparted on the bullet is to keep it stable. The factors that describe external ballistics to not indicate bullet imperfections are exaggerated by the faster spin rate. That is a misconception.

    Natural Point of aim question

    OP, Learn how to build steady standing, prone, setting, and kneeling positions with bone alone and then the same adding hasty sling. From there on you will be able to get a stable position when other artificial supports are not sufficient. You need to learn bone alone also to understand when...

    What .223 brand/round for a 16" barrel?

    I have seen nothing that would remotely suggest the 1/7 twist tends not to like lighter bullets in regards to accuracy. Also, I shoot 52 to 80 grain loadings from my match conditioned 1/7 .223 chambered AR and the surprise is I can get results with the 80's rivaling the 52's. There are reasons...

    Daniel Defense Mk12, worth it?

    Just some anecdotal experiences gathered from the M4 Rifle Marksmanship Course I teach: Folks have brought AR style rifles to the range in most every brand and configuration imaginable; and, the rifle that stands out is the Colt LE6920. Their barrels without exception are so straight as to make...

    Sandbags or bipod?

    Begs the question, is serious tactical marksmanship exclusive to bipod support?

    Should I be satisfied with 1 MOA in my new LMT 18" MWS?

    OP, I just noticed your avator, Governor's Twenty. This would indicate this thread was predicated on a farce. Can you explain?

    Should I be satisfied with 1 MOA in my new LMT 18" MWS?

    Does a rifle prefer one load over another? It has no capacity for thought. It's design might complement some ammunition over other; however, think about that, what design element would complement a 168 loading over a 175 loading? There may be a few; but, think about the obvious too, your body...

    Advanced Marksmanship Angle of Arc?

    Do you think my interpretation, or what I believe the statement to mean is correct?

    Sandbags or bipod?

    I enjoyed the article. It's refreshing to see another that sees it as I do.

    Advanced Marksmanship Angle of Arc?

    Update, This is something I discovered in a USAMU manual: "Muscular relaxation also permits the use of maximum bone support to create a minimum arc of movement and consistency in the resistance of recoil". The implication is 2 fold, when muscles are relaxed, bone/artificial support can make...

    Natural Point of aim question

    Movement is caused by muscle. Therefore, the idea is to transfer the stability of the ground into the position through the use of bone/artificial support. If the shooter has good support then the position will be muscularly relaxed and with less muscle there will be less movement. Now, here's...

    Re-barrel AR or buy Daniel Defense

    Or you could just get off the internet and get outside and exercise your body so what you've got does not feel so heavy.

    Daniel Defense Mk12, worth it?

    I'd like to know how you know what you know. You said, "DD makes excellent quality barrels". What makes them excellent quality? Is it the advertising you have read? Is it what you have read on the internet? Is it your personal experience with accuracy, long barrel life? Please, give some details.

    F T/R Competition Wind reading: conscious or subconscious?

    Clicks are more accurate than favors and so I click at LR when using a scope in any/any events. This also supports a sight picture using the eyes natural ability to both center and balance things. I may favor in rapid fire events with irons; but, as you know this is only at 300 yards. There may...

    Ar trigger?

    Even worse, RAA offers their two stage match trigger in their "combat" rifles. That's marketing directed to the novice consumer's fantasies about it all.

    F T/R Competition Wind reading: conscious or subconscious?

    Here's what I do. I get out my score book and before going to the firing line, I record range conditions, i.e. wind and weather, and my Starting Zero. This is my no wind zero. Next, I record the Zero Used. This is the zero adjusted for wind and weather as being observed. This is a conscious...

    How to "drive" a piston gasser?

    What you want to do is build a steady muscularly relaxed position, one that is also consistent shot to shot. For learning, single feed rounds, rebuilding the position from shot to shot, concentrating on readjustment of NPA; and, on contact between you, the gun, and ground being consistent...

    Expected accuracy from AR

    I only know what I've seen. This is good hits are probable on a static E target at 600 meters using a center of mass hold shooting Mk 262 from an M4 scoped with an ACOG by a shooter knowing a little about marksmanship and wind favor. This seems to be accurate enough to get the job done, while...

    Should I be satisfied with 1 MOA in my new LMT 18" MWS?

    Your advise is solid. It's why I qualified my first post on this thread with "who knows for sure". Wouldn't it be great if there were indeed someone who could observe the shooter.
