    M118LR Projectiles

    Did Nosler provide projectiles to Lake City for M118LR? I pulled some bullets and they are longer and a slightly different shape to the Sierra's I have. They APPEAR to be closer to 175gr Nosler Custom competition. Is this because Nosler provided projectiles or, did the design of the Match...

    St Arbor Customs still in business?

    I ordered a McMillan stock through St Arbor Customs on the 14th September 2022. I was replacing an FN SPR A3G stock so they had to do some custom work for me as McMillan doesn't inlet for this rifle anymore. So this stock cost me quite a bit of money that I paid upfront for. The last...

    Secret Service 300 Winchester Magnum Ammo?

    Does anyone know what projectile the Secret Service uses in their 300 Win Mag? I've heard rumours that it could be Lehigh Defence 194gr Maximum Expansion Ammunition or a Barnes projectile of some description. Just curious as to how they mitigate Over Penetration with their ammo. Cheers Carso

    What is "long range"?

    Hell yeah, lets argue! I've been having this discussion a lot lately through professional channels and I've been trying to come up with a solid definition for what "long range" actually is. Most people will typically reply "it depends on the cartridge", but I just HATE that because it's not a...

    M40A6

    Recently put together my M40A6 build. Thing is sick. Went the old school route with the Scope and as I couldn't get the right mount just went with the LT845 mount. I'm cloning M118LR for it and I got some questions for dudes who have put M118LR through the A6. I saw the initial data that said...

    Do you bother considering powder temperature shift?

    I do quick little tests, usually 15 to 20 rounds, to check powder sensitivity to temperature. After I went back to factory ammunition, i figured it's important to start doing this again as the proprietary powders ammo manufacturers use is generally not that temp insensitive compared to Hogden...

    Horus HOVR Weather Meter and App

    I'm having issues with the Horus weather meter. The weather meter isn't giving me the average wind. It seems to update every couple of seconds. I can't set a capture period and the average seems to be displaying real time wind, not an average - or it's taking an average over a 2 seconds...

    Horus HOVR Spotting Scope Cover

    Does anyone make an after market cover for the Horus HOVR spotting scope? The scope itself is phenomenal but good god the cover sucks so bad. The front lens cover flips up and sits ontop of the scope.... right where they put the screw holes for the pic rail for the red dot.... Cheers Carso

    Precision shooting from tripod

    G'day; I've been practicing tripod shooting more recently. When I was first taught tripod shooting, I was taught to setup the rifle/tripod by using the non-master arm as a spacer to get proper distance from the centre column for the firing position (big movements at the rear, tiny movements at...
