    Any users of FFS still out there?

    I have used FFS, and used it at KO2M last year paired with a vectronix, and will be using it again this year. I don’t know about “solvers have less value” in the ELR game. FFS is ideal/perfect for the ELR game. First round hits is where it’s at. The game is tailored for success with a...

    Elr shooters

    Greatly depends upon your twist rate. I have a 1:9.4 twist and have used Berger 300 otm's with N570. You will have a higher level of performance using N570 over h1000. The fill rate is much better, and you will not reach pressure so quickly. I have started using Cutting Edge Solids 265...

    Last step before Swarovski or Hensoldt?

    Th I have a Swaro BTX 95 and use it for ELR. What a great piece of equipment. Tough to stomach but well worth it. Check around .... There are places that will help reduce the overall kidney donation. Good shooting Chris Schmidt

    King Of Two Miles in France

    Cadex CDX-40 SHADOW in .375 CheyTac

    A lot of good thoughts above. One observation I have is that chassis systems typically under perform vs a bedded manners/McMillan stock set up. Vibration, tracking are issues I believe paramount for accuracy and Precison for ELR. Same as for 1500 yds and under, but past 1500 yds and it is...

    Cadex CDX-40 SHADOW in .375 CheyTac

    Brass is the easy part.....Peterson. Bullet/powder combo depends upon the specs. I would talk to Jon at JJ Rock and get one of the JJ Rock actions for a cadex. The repeaters are available and you can install in a cadex. Just a thought. Good Shooting. Chris Schmidt

    Barrett MRAD

    I have had both. The big issue with the MRAD is the barrels, barrel options and lastly the cost for conversion. Both are good options. I would choose AI if barrel choices are important to you. You have manufacturer choices in the barrels. A MRAD conversion kit/barrel serial number...

    416 barrett ammo

    The 500 grain CE bullet would be awesome with a truck axle for a barrel. I would think that would work well..... Seriously, I would have done that myself but the availability of the barrel was a mystery. I changed or will receive my new rifle in the next few weeks that utilizes a 7 twist on a...

    416 barrett ammo

    My barrel is a 12 twist like all of the M99's. 32". The velocity band using reloader 50 and cutting edge 472 grain bullet is 3160-3170 fps. It is a pressured load and was tested for pressure in Barrett's tunnel. I don't suggest over pressuring a load, but we were looking for that proven...

    416 barrett ammo

    The barrel I have on mine is a Krieger unlined/or not chrome lined. It was pressed into the M99, and yes I understand it is a costly thing to change barrels. As for my round count .... Maybe 1200 max. I have 650 ish on my barrel, but I will not be using it in competitions this year. Yes, it...

    416 barrett ammo

    I consider Dan and Trap at Cutting Edge friends, and either will provide you with "honest broker" advice. I used Reloader 50 last year in the Ko2m, and the 472 grain MTAC. The BC of the larger bullet was required for those distances. We were hunting for every bit of help we could get, and the...

    416 barrett ammo

    I FL sized the brass then used a K&M mandrel right before I seated a Cutting Edge bullet. Yes sir, you are definitely using PPU brass. You will be amazed at the difference when you get some of the new Ruag brass. Anneal the brass after each firing. I got 5 firings from the brass, but we...

    416 barrett ammo

    Don't turn your necks. Waste of time. I have enjoyed a significant amount of time testing, shooting and recently competing with a M99 416. The M99 likes light neck tension. Invest in a K&M mandrel. I would, also, invest in good brass and not use the older PPU brass. Neck sizing is not...
