    Cold Bore Weirdness

    I'm seeing a weird result out of Cold Bore. 1st I'm no novice when it comes to Ballistics but this is weird. I enter the posted G7 BC for the 225ELDM..391 Enter my chronyd MV of 2808fps. My zero conditions & field conditions & Cold Bore predicts 14.3mil @ 1470yds. However Streloc Pro says...

    Lapua brass crimp at shoulder

    Been using cheaper brass for decades but bought some new Lapua for my 300WM & when sizing with a Redding -S die bumping .002 it is putting a crimp right at the neck/shoulder. I can feel it when seating & I can measure it inside right at the base of the neck. This is causing runout & inconsistent...

    Barrel bridge

    Looking for a mount to add a NF Prizm to a Manners T5. Anyone have a link or something. Everything I've found so far is for helmet mount or for a specific chassis. Need a generic one. Thanks.

    Truing banded BC

    As the title suggests. I'm looking for tried & trued methods of trueing banded BC specifically in Streloc Pro. Background: My LR/ELR rifle runs the 225ELDM from a LHGT 9.5-8.75 chrony'd @ 2965fps. I primarily use CB & have my ELR dope right on. Tested from freezing to 90° sea level to 5000'...

    Best LRF Binos

    I'm looking to upgrade my LRF Binos but so far I haven't found a set that outperforms my old Bushnell Fusion 1600's. Don't get me wrong, some that I've tried have better glass, & sharper images, but the range finder is lacking in the ability to range through rain, snow, & fog. I have a TerripinX...

    Dawson Raider 5

    PDA for Cold Bore

    I have a Dell Axim X30 on hand that I'd like to install CB on. Guess I'm not techie enough to figure out if it has all the minimum requirements. So will it work? Thanks.

    Recommend a Burbon

    Ok. Since I can't seem to find the earlier burbon thread I want you burbon snobs to recommend me a burbon to try given these parameters. I like how smooth Basil Hayden is but I really like the flavor of Four Roses & Bulleit. I'm looking for something spicy but very smooth. Preferably under $60...

    Maggie’s It's good to be alive

    Hello all. Some of you old timers may know me from the ELR threads. I don't post much now days but today I have a story to tell. On Wed evening a buddy & I hiked into the Mt Baker wilderness for the high buck. Ive been training for this hunt for months. The hike in was only 3/4 mile & almost...

    225ELDM Redesigned

    Just opened a new lot of 225's & found that the boat tail is longer with a different angle. They're also .030" longer & average 225.5gr as weighed by my FX120i. Check this out.

    4DOF changed

    I trued both FFS & 4DOF last fall at the same time. Both have been accurate out to a mile but lately the 4DOF app has been predicting a flatter trajectory (like .5mil) & FFS is still the accurate one. I have triple & quadruple checked all my inputs & they are the same as before. Did 4DOF update...

    3-5 rnd Cartridge loops

    I'm not having much luck in my search for a 3-5 rnd velcro backed cartridge loop for holding 338 WM while hunting. I want them to velcro to the strip in my new Kuiu hip belt pouches. Anyone know of such a thing? Thanks.

    IMR 8133 for 300WM?

    Hi everyone. I've been shooting my 300 WM almost exclusively for a long time for ELR work. Been using the 225 ELDM lately in this barrel. (its 3rd) with H-1000. Been using H-1000 since my 1st barrel. Now I'm wondering if there's something better since some new powders have come out. Has anyone...

    LH Gain twist.

    Hi all. I'm in the planning process for my next barrel for my 300wm. I've decided that I want to try a LH gain twist. The question is what twist? I'm probably going to run the 220 berger, 225 ELDM, or 230 berger or a tip. Depending on what mv I can get out of the new barrel I may also try the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Tritium night sights

    So I have a new XDM 10mm, more mags, ammo, & holster on the way. Looking into which night sights to install. Trigicon, or Truglo? Right now leaning towards the Trigicon HD, maybe the HD XR. Anyone have experience with the Truglo & Trijicon? Which do you prefer & why? Thanks

    Sidearms & Scatterguns XDM 10mm GTG or NO

    Thinking about getting one primarily for outdoor protection in place of my Ruger SBH 45LC which is getting bigger & heavier every year. What do you think? Are they accurate? Is the 5.25" worth it over the 4.5"? I think I want the long one but I want night sights. Haven't found any for the 5.25"...

    Kilo & AB difference

    Ran the same data through both units & didn't get the same results. Had to adjust MV on the Kilo up 25fps to match. Anyone know why? I entered the exact same data the Kilo app showed @ 818yds & the Kilo was .5 mil higher.

    Hunting & Fishing Backpacking food

    Looking to pack into the wilderness for the high buck this year. 1st time since just after 911. Looking at light weight food for the hunt. I like some of the Mountain House bkfst & dinners but they are only 200-300 calories per serving. I'm likely to be burning 4 times that per day. Are any of...

    Terrapin X app

    Just had to do a complete factory reset on my phone then replaced it under warranty. Terrapin X app downloaded fine a few days ago but today it's gone. Can't even find it in the app store. Where's it gone?
