.40 over 9mm, definitely. Cousin is a cop, and he tells stories of training videos where perps are hit with multiple multiple 9mm rounds before they drop. Like 13 in one case. .40 is a much harder hitting round, and that's what they all use now, and he swears by the Glock after using it. He said...

I stated my definition in the other thread, which was that anytime you have to take measures beyond "point and shoot", you're shooting long range. I realize it's subjective, and just like Nascar drivers might not consider 130mph to be fast doesn't mean it isn't. If you were going to corner me...

I fail to understand the militant opposition to BDC turrets. Is there a significant difference between 8000 feet and sea level? Bet your butt there is. I made up a paper sleeve for my target turret when I went deer huting. Plugged my stuff into the program for 2000ft, 30 degrees, and I was good...

I'm not married to a load yet, so I just used a skinny piece of paper over the top of my existin target turret, and wrote on it with a pencil and a line to line up with a line the corresponding number of clicks over. Then I just lined my zero up with the correct yardage on the paper (200 yds)...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Maybe after I wear out my .300 RUM. Or maybe before. Or maybe if I ever get another opportunity to go hunting with something that would merit such a cool gun. 1200 yard prairie dog explosions anyone? [/ QUOTE ]why wait that barrel will still come off even in good shape...

Or you can get it direct from Plaster via www.ultimatesniper.com

[ QUOTE ] Can someone give me the lowdown on the 338 Edge cartridge? [/ QUOTE ] Do a search for threads with "Edge" in the title with the author Shawn Carlock to narrow it down a bit, and you'll find plenty of more in-depth reading. The short version of what I've read is that it's 300 RUM...

Yes, it's been updated. I have an earlier version, and it's basically his rendition of the Army's "Target Interdiction" manual (I have that, too). Much easier to follow, and he interjects his opinions on many of the subjective matters. I'm not sure exactly what has changed in the newer version...

Well, let's be honest: it would be REAL easy for some dimwit who didn't have a full understanding of all the factors at play trying to hold over an 800 yard deer with his 30-06 that he shoots twice a year trying to hit something because he read about someone doing it at 1000 yards on the...

It's 3 DVD's, 10+ hours. I found it interesting enough, and it was very educational to me as a newbie to long range shooting. It gave me plenty of background to understand what people are talking about on here on both equipment, reloading, shooting, etc. I think it's a great place to get...

Gotta love \"The Onion\"... Figured you guys could all appreciate the humor... http://www.theonion.com/content/node/54719 Former Marine Sniper Slapped With 3,000-Yard Restraining Order November 1, 2006 | Issue 42•44 MACON, GA—Citing Emily Holman's right to feel safe traversing vast open...

Man, that gun is only worth $5, but to show you what a good guy I am, I'll give you $10 for it. Nice gun, nice caliber. Do NOT change it to a 30-06. Seriously though, I'll trade you a 30-06 for it if you really don't want it. As far as the ammo cost, handloading will take care of that.

I grew up riding horses and showing horses, and you couldn't pay me to ride a borrowed horse in situations where my life would depend on them. Give me an off-road motorcycle any day. The downer being that there are access issues w/ motorized vehicles, but there are definitely times I would...

Re: Help me build a \"Truck Gun\" How about something like this. Best part is, it's recoil-less. Not sure they'd still dress out over 200lbs, though.
