    Best Rifle Case For A Precision Rifle

    I got the Starlite before Pelican was a thing. I have around $450 invested due to purchasing the sealed bead foam inserts. Those are HD and will allow for sculpting. The latches are tight and require some buffing to smooth otherwise your knuckles will be F' up. The plastic is thicker than...

    Thank you! in dead calm conditions that rifle will produce 4-5" at 1000 so frequently that It can be boring. (It's actually parked this season) I use a atlas 5H and rear bag full of lead shot. The 18" handguard sticks that bipod so far out of reach but has unmatched stability. Not practical but...

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    I purchased a box of 100 at a well known retailer. NEVER OPENED. Reflective label in tact. Cut the bag, and started sorting. My bullet block had 12 empty spots. I could not believe it. I called Hornady and they explained their entire inspection process. 1600 grains shy is huge. One missing...

    Is truing mv at 300 yards worth it?

    I do compare ELDs but I load 50 at a time in order of longest to shortest, then fire them in order as well. Bergers I do not sort. I probably cannot shoot the difference. I will use your information and try something - only use the BDC for Bergers and tweek the BC for ELDs. (I have two 6.5s...

    I have about 2700 dumped into an RPR. Everything has upgraded except the mag release. The four major upgrade which produced the most output have been the 26" SS LRI barrel for 140 Berger, Timney 2 stage #650ST, VTAB buttpad mod and the round bolt knob. This rifle has produced 4 of my personal...

    Shot-to-Shot Variation in Muzzle Velocity (MV) and Ballistic Coefficient (BC)

    I appreciate the response - even though my initial comment "was not relevant to the original topic" lol Thank you.

    Is truing mv at 300 yards worth it?

    I mentioned in another thread that AB does not allow adjusting the BS when using a purchased curve. In fact it does not even display the BC. Is it better to manually build the profile to allow for adjusting the BS vs using the purchased curve? (I think the answer I will hear will be to test it)

    Shot-to-Shot Variation in Muzzle Velocity (MV) and Ballistic Coefficient (BC)

    Okay thank you for making sure we all stay on track. I promise I only reply the way you do, with discouraging self righteousness. Maybe I don’t understand how this works. Every new comment or questions should be a completely new thread?

    Shot-to-Shot Variation in Muzzle Velocity (MV) and Ballistic Coefficient (BC)

    So I thought when you purchased a bullet profile curve from AB it evolves the BC for the given distance thus refining the predicted correction NOT that is averages the BC for all distances, because a computerized solver can make fluid calculations and averages are for pencil and paper.

    App differs from reality; what parameters to adjust

    AB app tweeks the MV to calibrate prediction to actual correction. I do not mess with the BC at all because I cannot. When you purchase the proven curves that Applied Ballistics offer you can safely rule this out. I have found the best luck with calibrating right before transonic if possible. If...

    RPR with Magpul UBR?

    They are 85$ from https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/vertical-tactical-adjustable-stock-pad-fits-magpul-prs2-rpr-luth-ar1-3/

    RPR with Magpul UBR?

    Run the stock it came with and replace the butt pad with a height adjustable setup by V-Tab. I went down the path of PRS gen 1 then 2. A UBR will require a cheek riser and offer zero adjustability. IF you want it comfortable and functional then get some adjustment for a fraction of the price of...

    Sight Height and Elevation Required to Target

    Vio, we both joined the hide 9 years ago and 9 days apart. And we are both from WI. weird.

    Show your math :) - you only summarized what I just posted.

    Sight Height and Elevation Required to Target

    Your solver is taking the sight height into consideration to align the point of departure and line of sight as zero. Notice when you view your trajectory graph it starts at 0 inches not your sight height (inches). The solver is making all calculations from your bore but you are making the...

    Getting vertical correction is a small part of the accomplishment. Bucking wind with a .308 vs 6.5 requires twice the skill.

    Did you record erosion as it progressed? Probably noticed it slowed down. I would start getting everything together to anticipate the replacement. Look at LRIs barrels. I have a 26" for Berger 140g Hybrids, because it costs 540$ per 1000 I will be getting the 140ELD barrel next time. I am at...
