    Targets for load development

    I know, I know, there's a million choices already. But I wasn't 100% happy with anything I've found yet. I had the time this morning, so I drew one up. I designed the target the way I want it, with the aiming point being the tippy top of the triangle. One inch line going up from the tip, half...

    Rifle Scopes Testing the tracking on all my scopes Monday...

    With all the talk of this and that scope not tracking, I thought it would be a good idea to check out my scopes and see how they fair. I have 2 USO's, 1 NF, and 2 leupolds MK4's. I'll be reporting back with the findings... I made up a chart modeled loosely after Rob01's that I saw one another...

    Testing the GAP and the new USO 07/19 more pic's

    Well made it to the range today. Weather was perfect only a hint of wind and temp about 80/85. You all met the GAP Friday with the new to me USO scope. The rifle has been on a diet for awhile as I've been on a 22 BR kick so I desided to feed her a buffet with the new scope. Like I...

    I read Lowlight's reply at post #60 over on Tony Burke's thread about the scope comparison and didn't want to hijack that thread, but really what does constitute a Good Test of Scope Resolution for a LongRange scopesight? How many variables are there that can be isolated and tested for...

    Testing .22 ammo

    When you guys are experimenting to see what your .22 likes, do you clean the barrel when switching ammo, fire foulers or what? In the past I have just shot a couple groups of each ammo, but they I started thinking about the differences in lead and lube on each make and how they may affect each...

    Range Report Testing for ballistic coefficients

    What's the standard practice for getting ballistic coefficients? My understanding is that I can't just use a bullet manufacturer's reported BC -- if I'm using different rifles, barrel lengths, and suppressors don't I need to actually test each for BC? And since I don't have easy access to...
