My drops data match up with all three out to 650. Then real close to the Strelok and LRH programs out to 750. Am going to find a new spot to shoot further tomorrow.

Yeah, ten years back I bucked up for a high end McMillan Kevlar stock for my 30 Newton. Real light weight affair, I wanted a light weight hunting rifle. Took it to the Missouri Breaks and fell down and broke it. It was a very small hit to the rifle. You couldn't take one on a horse back...

My custom 338 RUM is in the factory Rem wood lammy stock. Glass bedded only w no pillars. I have 500 rounds shot and my zero has not changed. I have had it in the rain for 10 days straight on several trips. One trip saw rain then temp dip to below zero then up to 40 degrees. My opinion...

Yes I have got my own data out to 750. Been shooting the same rig since 2010, but with a 500 yard zero. I toned down my load and want to go with a 400 yard zero, so began playing with my programs for the first time in a while. I double checked the inputs but will do so again. Do you have any...

Been comparing the dope from the following three different programs Strelok Pro (phone app) Sierra Infinity LRH online calculator The LRH calc is real close to the Strelok Pro while the Sierra Program shows 25" less drops at 1000 yards. All three programs are really close out to 700 yards...

You have my attention with this topic. How would i obtain absolute pressure when standing on my favorite mountain in N. Idaho ? My GPS shows BP but it is in MB (milli bars). With a little research and algebra I can convert. But is it "absolute" or corrected for elevation ? What about the...

Gee thanks. Super info ya got so far.

Great job and u have just inspired me to find a longer place to shoot.

Is anyone having success with Retumbo in their .338 UM ? Specifically with 250 or 300 gr projectiles. My rig is Mod 700, 28.5" Schneider w Polyagonal rifleing. Thanks

Can u guys give me some input on advantages and disadvantages of one and two piece bases for use on my long range rifle. Am mounting up a IOR 2.5 to 10 on my 338 UM. Also, when do you need a base with built in MOA ?
