Hindsight is always 20/20, and I don't want to armchair-quarterback this one - but I had this happen to myself one time using a Vmax in a .223. Wasn't anyone's fault, in my opinion, it was a good hit and the bullet did what it was supposed to...some coyotes are just hard to kill. Anyway...

...but seeing as how this is the most general/unrelated forum title I could post under, I figured I'll just place it here and hope for the best. Yesterday, in case no one here heard, Chairman Bernanke of the Federal Reserve announced the new QE Infinity policy. You might recall from the...

Sorry to zombie the thread, but OneEye - what's the make on that brake? I have a '41 duv from berlin that is currently configured pretty much identical to your VZ, but I really like the looks of that brake. How effective do you find the brake? I don't consider the 8mm unpleasant, but I don't...

Great shooting! I was thinking about one of these in the .338...that's about what I would expect. Nice to see they can keep up.

I also have had great success and accuracy with Browning, but I've stayed with the A-Bolt. Sure, I danced around a few X-bolts and held hands with them and maybe saw a movie or two, but I've found as a general rule that when something is "new and improved" it just means that the company found a...

+1 to both the 6.8 SPC and the 6.5 Grendel, both are decent rounds, if you're sticking with the AR-15 platform.

I'm certainly no expert, but I remember reading about Bob Furlong (back when he held the record) setting the .50 ammo out in the sun to warm it up and squeeze a little more juice out of it. At altitude, it seems every little bit helps. I'm always amazed at the little tricks these guys come up...

I also vote for the SWFA, though admittedly I don't have the Bushnell to compare it against. My reason for advocating them, however is that if you're looking to shoot semi-LR you're going to be doing a lot of dialing on the knobs. The SWFA knobs are all machined brass adjustments with audible...

I won't remark on the choice of a Mini, that's your business and as long as it goes bang, who cares? I will say from experience, hoever, that the Fiocchi .223 ammo is ant-shaving accurate. I tried their 52 gr. V-Max loading (if memory serves) in my CZ 527, and I gave up trying to find a handload...

Hi guys, I would like to learn more about wind reading techniques, especially as it pertains to long-range shooting. Has anyone read any good books on the topic? So far I've read some reviews on Wind Reading for Rifle Shooters and Maj. Plaster's Ultimate Sniper books...I just don't want to...
