    What age do you think kids should start shooting?

    It sounds silly but my dad started me out with a Roy Rodgers cap gun just as soon as I was able to strap it around my waist. I was taught every safety rule there was with that cap gun. Of corse back in those days there were still crazy Indians hiding everywhere 😂. It was my experience and I...

    Burris Eliminator 111

    I’m just having a hard time explaining this I guess. Tha dot shows 11” below crosshairs at 400. The range shows 404 which I don’t have a problem with. Ballistic tables tell me I should be 39 in low at 400 and that is ABOUT where I’m hitting. I can boost drop number up to 230 and I’m still low...

    The bullet is hitting about where it should, but the dot is showing 11”below crosshairs.

    I will double check the instruction on that, thanks.

    Burris Eliminator 111

    Yes. BC is .625 and I entered .62 in scope. I can’t imagine being off enough in programing the scope that it would show an 11 in hold over at 400 yards. Just out of pure frustration I played with ballistic table, entering different BC’s, velocities, altitudes etc, trying to find a 11 in hold...

    Burris Eliminator 111

    I can give you all of the numbers I used if you need it, but I have a drop number of 154. Zeroed scope at 100 yrds , touching holes. Per instructions, I put a target at 400 and hit about three feet low. I entered 230 as a drop number( that is the highest number MY scope would allow) and still...

    Burris Eliminator 111

    Having one heck of a time with scope AND Burris techs. If anyone has an Eliminator 111 and like it, I sure could use some help here. Thanks

    Ballistics backwards

    I just got back from a praire dog trip. I just have this fantasy of a one shot one kill. To range the dog, enter the distance and back track to 100 is the only way I could think of doing that. IF I could get the critters to come up at specified distance it would make life easier.

    Ballistics backwards

    Maybe I’m asking the question all wrong. My quest is to zero my rifle @100, range my target, enter the ranged target as my zero in ballistic table and see how high it tells me I should be at zero. If it tells me that the flight path would be 10 in. high at zero, then I can crank it up from that...

    Ballistics backwards

    I have asked this before but I have also stated that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I am shooting a .223 with a 53 gr. Hornady vmax @2950 FPS. I know for a fact that I have to have 13 clicks of elevation to hit at 300 yards zeroed at 100.NOW, if I in ballistics tables if I put my...

    Precision mic

    Yes that is the set I am talking about. I’m trying to wrap my head around why these shell holders are so precise on length and my Hornady ( and his ) are so erratic. Going from a .010 variance to a consistent.002. I guess I will just have to accept the facts and stop trying to figure it out...

    Precision mic

    I have not done that, it’s worth a try. Thank you

    Precision mic

    Yes it does. It is set at zero for SAMI minimum case length.
