    Building a prs rifle, trying to determine cal, 6.5x47 lapua or 6.5 creedmoor

    if you don't reload, then 6.5 creed is the very easy answer. pretty good supply and variety of good match ammo out there.

    What is on your person right now for EDC!

    just carried my glock 32 (357sig) in a bianchi consent 125 holster (leather wrapped kydex) when i went 'into town' for lunch and errands.

    1moa or half moa guaranteed rifles... worth anything or just a gimmick?

    i think an accuracy guarantee is a way for a gun maker to give some credibility to their rifles. i'd ask the manufacturer what they do if your rifle doesn't meet their guarantee, that's sort of the proof in the pudding. i've looked at some of the fierce targets on their site and it's normally...

    Mil dot reticle?

    what scope make/model are you looking at? not sure i've seen any scopes where the reticle unit of measurement didn't match the turrets, just seems like it could be real confusing especially in the heat of the moment.

    Why gun co’s making 224 cal valkyrie in short barrels ?

    yeah i don't get that. i got a 24" barrel for my .224 valk, to shoot in prs gas gun matches generally out to 800yds max.

    Ffp question

    hey i'm a lefty dave also! i think ffp is the best just because you don't need to think about where your magnification is and thus what your adjusted holdovers (wind and/or elevation) need to be. no on-the-fly math. but the key is getting a scope with the magnification you will use. if you...

    Browning x-bolt hell's canyon speed b-a rifle

    i probably or hopefully don't need to do this, but after i move a scope's reticle while sighting in, i generally bang the stock a few times just to make sure it 'took.' if you're not using a nf or vortex or the like, maybe try that. also, shoot a group, don't touch the reticle, wait a little...

    Magnetospeed vs labradar

    keep an eye on brownell's. periodically they have the labradar on sale and also do their 10% thing on top of that, and free ship.

    Spreadsheet to determine best long range hunting cartridge

    double tap lists mv as 3120 out of a 26" but i got 2850 out of my 24" bbl. nosler lists their partition as .519 bc and says it expands down to 1800fps. and of course, thanks for doing all this!

    Spreadsheet to determine best long range hunting cartridge

    well if you don't mind revisiting the 7stw 175 double tap partitions, would like to see how they stack up. when i've run them, energy only, they've outdone most of the 300 mags. i'm relatively new to longer range hunting and elk hunting, but my understanding is partitions and accubonds are...
