    Why the Controversey over Creedmoor 6.5?

    I suck with my 308 and a 6.5 isn't going to suddenly make me a rockstar.;)

    Enjoyment vs Capability

    When I was into mountain biking, I transitioned from a rigid fork hard-tail to a suspension fork hard-tail to a full suspension rig. Something that I noticed was that my enjoyment never really changed. I could ride more difficult terrain with the latter but the enjoyment level was the same. The...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind Margin of Error

    I also got ~225y for 1MOA for the 308 at 30% error for 10mph wind which is about the same. I'm sure there is more that is missing in the way I calculated it, but it doesn't seem super far off either.

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind Margin of Error

    I'm trying to learn more about ballistics and contemplating the margin of error allowable in calling wind and how that margin changes over distance. As an example, the margin of error to hit an MOA target drops below 10% on a 175g 308win at ~500y, 140g 6.5mm Creedmoor at ~700 yards, and 112g...

    Advanced Marksmanship Target Setup

    I'm looking at buying some targets and considering Is a KYL setup beneficial over just a single target Is a KYL setup better to be progressively smaller targets at a single distance or a single size target at progressively longer distances Is there benefit to imposing constraints by limiting...

    Rifle Scopes Optic Needs Analysis

    A guy once told me that you shouldn't spend less than a $1k on binoculars 10x or more. I imagine add $500 for quality turrets on a scope and 10x plus looks like $1500 buy-in.

    Rifle Scopes Optic Needs Analysis

    Is there a rule of thumb for the capability provided by cost? Does the quality improvement provided by the increase in cost generally follow some function of the distance or conditions an optic accomplish? Do quality turrets cost X dollars and the ability to see Y distance cost a certain amount...

    A Syllabus: Learning Precision Rifle Shooting

    I used to do curriculum development and a model I found useful was a pie with the slices being the different topics (1-13 above) then the from the middle to the outer edge similar to a scoring target would be the levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). The curriculum would follow a spiral...

    Why the Controversey over Creedmoor 6.5?

    The following YouTube video provides an example of the difference between statistical significance and practical significance. The 6.5 Creedmoor is statistically significantly a ballistic improvement as demonstrated with a significantly smaller group size in this video. However, it's not...

    Hunting & Fishing Multipurpose Rifle... what is your opinion?

    I'm a fan of the saying, "beware of the man with only one gun, because he probably knows how to use it." I've spent a lot of hours thinking of this exact same thought experiment. I think a Manners Elite Hunter Adjustable with a Proof Carbon Fiber Barrel with brake in the 6.5 creedmoor is about...

    What's your buyers remorse

    There is a lot for sale in the PX and a lot of threads about equipment; what causes your buyers remorse to sell what you own to buy different stuff? I only have one rifle and have had to swap things because I'll discover a need I didn't know i had...

    Seal team 1 vs 6 vs 8 ?

    The numbers only signify what the area of operations is. The tier the AO belongs to determines if funding comes from the Navy or DoD.

    Cartridges: Must haves

    I think it depends on how many rifles a person intends to have. More rifles means more diversity. For example, if I were to only have one rifle to do everything: 6.5CM AR-10 If two: 223 AR-15, 6.5CM Bolt Three: 22lr, 223 AR, 6.5CM Four: 22lr, 6CM Bolt, 308 AR-10, 300 WM Five: 22lr, 300blk...

    Features that effect marksmanship

    After watching more of the videos in the training section, there are so many elements of my equipment that are limiting factors. One example being a locking lever for my bipod. My rear bag needed more fill. A shooting mat would make everything more comfortable. Having my barrel threaded and...

    What's your buyers remorse

    I like my Savage because it's so DIY. The only thing I don't like is the lack of aftermarket stuff in comparison to a 700. Perhaps that lack of choices is a blessing though.
