    Trued 3 bullets today

    Just looking for some thoughts. Took 3 bullets out to 800 metres today to true them up. Was a perfect day for it with light rain most of the time which kept mirage to a minimum. I shoot with the magneto on all the time today was no different. First bullet was the 123 lapua scenar. Ballistic ae...

    Range Report 130 RDF actual BC

    So has anyone tested this bullet at long range to confirm bc? Litz tested the 140 RDF a fair bit lower than advertised. Wondering if the 130 is the same?

    ELR advice needed

    So I have access to a place where I can shoot my 6.5x47l out to 1500m which in Australia is not easy at all so consider myself very lucky. It is not the perfect place for ELR however so looking for some ideas. Basically the ground is undulating so laying prone on ground you cannot see the...

    ballistic ae elevation (for scope)

    Can anyone help me before I delete this app off my phone. The litz formulas for scope correction do not work on this app. If I want to put a 1% adjustment in there how the hell do you do it? For example if my scope moves 1% more than it supposed to the correction factor should be less than 1...

    Range Report Tall target test accuracy

    I'm not sure if shooting the tall target test is an accurate enough way to measure scope error when trying to get below 2%. I'd be interested to know if any members have done several tall target tests on the same scope on different days. I think unless you are using a benchrest gun capable of...

    How to make ballistic AE and hornady 4dof change to 1/4 min

    I'm basically very technically challenged. I mostly use ballistic AE and sometimes Hornady 4dof. I'm trying to set up a profile for a new moa scope (previously used mils which worked with .1 readings) Both ballistic AE and 4dof give readings such as 20.4 moa or 30.2 moa. My scope is in...

    Rifle Scopes Is Franks review of the SWFA 5-20HD still relevant?

    Watched Franks review on this and read a few of his posts, he gave very good review on this scope and basically said it could be sold for $2000 and still be good value. This was a few years ago. Would love to know what Franks view now if he still holds that view? The non illuminated model is...

    Av velocity always changing

    So this has been bugging me a bit I shoot with a chrono all the time I live deep in the tropics so temperature change is very minimal. I'm using rl16 139 scenars in my 6.5x47l which shoots great however I have noticed the av velocity changes a lot using the same load. One session over 20 shots...

    Hornady 4DOF vs Lapua 6DOF dont match

    Heres one for the ballistic experts here. I have run the numbers using the exact same environmentals everything exactly the same all inputs etc for both 139 scenars and 136scenar L. Looking to do some ELR next year as I'm likely to have access to 1500m fingers crossed. Anyway ran the numbers...

    Fundamental frank vs the free recoilers

    So I completely agree with franks views on the free recoiling bs. Since when is free recoiling considered a technique in "practical" shooting. Even in f class it is a joke the original intent of f class was for older shooters to be able to shoot with a scope when there eyes were no longer good...

    Range Report Light vs heavy bullets

    The following 2 statements have been bugging me a bit. 1. A lighter bullet travelling faster spends less time in the wind so therefore should drift less that a heavier higher bc bullet going slower. 2. A certain bullet is too heavy for a certain case to take advantage of a higher bc heavier...

    Trying f class removing muzzle brake question

    Thinking of trying a bit of f class with my rifle. I would have to remove the muzzle brake which is a pain it's a Witt machine clamp on that has been loctited on. All load development and zero with muzzle brake on. I still want to be able to shoot and spot steel with the brake off. It's been so...

    Stupid mirage question

    So I normally shoot around 600-700m always in heavy mirage. I have the mirage fairly worked out At this distance I need to add 0.2-0.3mil more than the calculator calls for to get hits on the centreline in this heavy mirage. So today I put some milk bottles at 350m along with my plate at 600m...

    Rifle Scopes Is the glass in SWFA 5-20HD tier 1

    Its almost impossible to find a bad word about swfa scopes, the only gripe ive heard people say is no zero stop and they don't like the retical. I already use a fixed swfa 12x and cannot fault it one bit tracks perfectly and is clear enough ( I don't have anything else to compare to for...

    Rifle Scopes Richard Uttings scope reviews

    Has anyone seen this guys scope reviews on you tube and in particular his 2017 long range scope review video? He is from the UK and as far a step I can tell from UK forums well respected there. His scope reviews in my opinion are excellent and extremely in depth. The question I have is he goes...

    Would you put your rifle through this!!!

    So I have the opportunity to shoot in a location that could offer unlimited distance. Here's the catch It is only accessible by boat up a salt water river the boat I have to use is a 12ft aluminium boat. I would have to put my expensive rifle and shooting equipment in the boat for a 15 min or so...
