    Bullet Style Choices

    Please forgive me if this topic has been covered at length in a different thread. I did a search with no success. Due to shortages and whatnot, I have started to consider other projectiles other than the standard 175 grain SMK that I currently use. This led me to ponder the differences between...

    Will a 168g .338 bullet work in a 1:9.3 barrel?

    I found some .338 AP Solids that are 168g. I have read where too fast a twist can rip a bullet apart. In this case, with the majority of the bullet being a brass solid, I would imagine there is no jacket to rip apart. They are designed to shoot at 3600 FPS, but they have been testing them in...

    Bullet color trick

    I learned a neat trick from my buddy on the weekend. He was testing multiple loads at 1000 yards on the same piece or cardboard. In order to tell which hole is from which load without going up and marking them after each group, he paints the bullets with a dry erase marker. They leave a very...

    accepted bullet weight variance

    Can anyone point out what is an acceptable bullet weight variance for 30cal bullets to be used for 1000yards? lets say +/-0.5 grain difference over 20 weighed bullets, would that be acceptable? Does this margin of error increase as you use heavier bullets such as the 250scenars for the 338? eg...
