    Range Report Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    Re: Applied Ballistics Mobile App Monte, there's a Google Market link in the original post, you can purchase from a PC web browser there and it will let you tell it to install to your device there (that's how I did it). I just emailed some drag curve and reticle requests (some 140gr-class...

    Hard Time finding a 260 Load

    Re: Hard Time finding a 260 Load It looks like you might have an OCW node there in the 42.6-42.9 range.... I'd go with 42.7 or 42.8, find a seating depth that works well with that charge, and call it a load. If you are asking wtf is OCW, here you go: http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/

    Range Report suppressed to unsuppressed groups

    Re: suppressed to unsuppressed groups Adding a can to your barrel is almost like you're shooting through a different gun as far as harmonics, etc. are concerned. If you plan to shoot mostly suppressed, do load development (and your zero/dope) with the can on and find a good load for it. If...

    Help with XLR contact

    Re: Help with XLR contact I really don't understand why folks think of forum PM as a reliable way to contact any business -- unless they indicate Sniper's Hide PM is an "official" way to contact them, contact attempt by PM is no contact attempt at all. Also, not making excuses for them, nor...

    Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington - NOW TAKING DEPOSITS

    Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington - NOW TAKING DEPOSITS "Flatter" is nice and all, but the big deal is reduced wind deflection. If you run in a squad in a tactical match all day with a .308 and see what guys running .260's are holding for wind, "the deal" becomes quite apparent. In my...

    Rifle Scopes What does a $1k plus scope get me over $300 NIKON

    Re: What does a $1k plus scope get me over $300 NIKON After reliability/durability, one thing that money definitely seems to buy in addition to just optical quality is low-light performance. I shot a match with a night stage -- there was a reflector above the target (and you were told offset...

    Rifle Scopes Mil turret clicks

    Re: Mil turret clicks Whether MOA/MOA or MIL/MIL, thinking in terms of "inches" is just adding extra unnecessary complication. People do it with MOA scopes because they are comfortable with inches in daily life, and MOA happens to be sorta-kinda-close to IPHY... ...but why convert to a...

    Re: My new S&W M&P Spec Ops 9mm I tried to use those mag extensions with my compact for a while -- had to stop because the follower would get hung up where the bottom of the mag and the extension come together, causing the mag to "stop working" after the first several rounds. Yours may be...
