I know I can test this all myself but I figured I would ask the question here. I read through this a while ago and have been keeping up with the updates. My question is, for a novice reloader, is there a need to get into neck tension yet? With my limited understanding, in order to control for...
100 yds, zero check on 6.5cm using 140 S&B ammo I picked up for cheap practice and getting the barrel broken in with 200 rounds. This is after about 2 months and 100s of miles driven in the truck on rough roads.
Tikka 6.5CM
140S&B box ammo
UM low Rings
Maven RS.1
I bedded this one and...
Well that's what has pushed me to start shooting and getting the experience myself. And I'm finding the numbers to not be the mystical math equations I thought before starting getting (high-ish) round counts down range.
I guess I didn't have an issue with what was said in terms of elevation as I have areas where I can hunt right at sea level and end up with a negative DA and up to 8-9,000 ft where the DA could be 10,000.
And when you look at these charts, 8,000 - 10,000 ft actual elevation seems to not have a...
@Macintosh that's the train of thought I was on. I live in Western Oregon and hunt in the east part so potentially a DA of 1000 to 7000 in the areas I hunt. I was just trying to wrap my head around the idea that it may not be as "scary" or hard to get close enough environmentals to make those...
New-ish long range shooter here. I recently bought a Tikka 6.5CM for my wife ;) and I've been doing a LOT more shooting as a result. For this discussion, assume shooting out to 800yds and hunting out to 500yds.
I live basically at sea level and I try to get shooting at elevation every once in a...
Thanks!
Thought I'd mention that watching your videos has become a "family affair" with my two young daughters( 2 and 4yr old) Haha. They ask for the hunting video where the guy shoots on an island;) I also had to start out by telling them you probably lived close to Anna and Elsa(Disney...
Loved both of these videos.
Can you explain why you left your zero to the left (1-2cm) on your 100m target? I know you said "spindrift" and the shots where it's close enough to see that you are "off" it probably doesn't matter on animals or large targets. Is this just personal preference so that...
@THLR You have done a great job of distilling windcalls for hunting situations. I think it's most helpful that it gives a baseline of knowledge to apply before going out and doing your own practice. Early on, with SPF, it was frustrating at times in really windy conditions shooting 3-400yds. but...
First off, Winchester M70's come in a few flavors - pre-64s and post 64s. My dad raised me in a Winchester household and we mostly had the CRF versions as dad had a push-feed fail on him while on a bull because a bit of rust in the chamber cause the case to stick in the chamber and the push feed...
Do you think this will stick well to the stock without overlaying CF and resin? I think I'm gonna try this to build out the grip on a HS Precision Sporter. I watched the vids online and it seems like it will bond but I'm wondering about the long term strength of it.
Thanks for all the replies. The pants say they are 90% Nylon so I assume it would be better to go with some sort of Nylon mesh for the venting material?
I'm not so worried about picking up burrs if they stay on the outside of my pants or vents. Gives me something to do while eating my lunch;)
