    Advanced Marksmanship My best way to a ballistic firing solution

    Djskit, so you are using the kestrel with the Applied Ballistics in it.? The Kestrel weather station and the app. then you add distance to target and I am figuring you have your cartridge preloaded. and it give you the solution? Is that how she works for you. how do you do slope? That's...

    left eye doninant question

    Thorstenson, I feel your pain, I switched to the left side at 15, cause wingshooting I could not look down the barrel. archery, shooting sights I could and do right handed. shooting instinctive no way. I think you'll be ok being right as most close their off eye anyway. and your trigger...

    6.5x284 with h1000 vs 6.5saum

    LR shooter 101, I think you are on to something. there must be a ratio for the bullet dia. , cartridge size etc that can be figured. the 6mm competition match seems to be similar with 3000- 4000 rounds running 105 class bullets at 3000fps. it would take somebody a lot smarter than me to...

    7-300wm or 7 Rem Mag?

    Hmmm, I can get 3000 fps with 180's in my RM, it's got a freebore of ,188 perfect for 168's and a little short for 180's and that is not a max load. IdahoCTD on this site, has made a bunch of 7/300's and he get's great accuracy, and speed. I would pm him for the insight on that. He just...

    95gr SMK in Savage .243

    95s for savage My savage predator shoots the 95 vld (both target and hunting) very well. stabil at all ranges. I have not shot 105/107 class bullets in it. I have another 8twist, barrel that is very good with the 105's, I would think you will like them. 9.25 twist in the Savages I...

    7mm RM... Marginally or significantly more capable then .260?

    Hodgdon has it about right. I shoot one for hunting and do bang some steel with it for practice, the bulk of my loads for steel are not really 7rm loads. which leads me to say that his recommend of a 6.5 saum or a 284/280 ai would likely be a better choice for extended range and more moderate...
