    Help understanding bullet BC

    That’s a better way of putting it. I just bought a 1:8 243 to shoot the 108eldm. Is less recoil the only thing I’m gaining by not sticking with my 270? Assuming I’m moving them at roughly the same MV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help understanding bullet BC

    So I was looking at bullet BCs today and I noticed that Hornady shows the exact same G1 and G7 numbers for the 6mm 108gr ELDM as the .270 143gr ELDX. Can someone explain to me why the 108 is so highly thought of and the 270 is made out to be a bowling ball? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Supressor Ordered - Harverster Evo

    Can you give me a true real world weight of the Scythe. My Harvester weighs 14oz with the 1/2-24 end cap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Supressor Ordered - Harverster Evo

    I’d suggest to buy the best one you can afford knowing it’s a lifetime investment. Also know this will not be your only suppressor, just your first one. Trust me, I thought I was going to be one and done and everyone that has one laughed at me. Now I’m looking at my second one a year later...

    First Supressor Ordered - Harverster Evo

    I can’t speak from a lot of experience with suppressors but I do have a Harvester Evo that I received this past summer and I have been very happy with it. I shoot .223, .243, and .308 out of it and it has greatly increased my enjoyment of shooting. I would say it has rekindled my love of...

    Tikka .243 AI

    I’ve been kicking this around in my head as well. What is the likely velocity gained from having it Improved? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    Probably going to get one of these two tomorrow. Any additional last minute input? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    Having a 223 trainer, I highly doubt I will shoot the barrel out on this one anytime soon. Good point on leaving it 243, I have other 243s and it will be nice not having to separate out the brass. If handloading, what benefits do the 6cm give over the fast twist 243 with the same projectile...

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    I’m not sure about the AI process, but is it worth talking to my gunsmith about having it Improved while he has the barrel off to thread? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That makes sense, thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    I got a gift card for a new rifle and will be buying a tikka and cutting it to 16.5” for my suppressor. Application is for whitetail out to 500 yards. I’m trying to to decide between a 8” twist 243 or a 6.5CM. I handload so I can get the benefit out of the fast twist 243. Trying to decide in the...

    6mm/243 options

    With all the 6mm/.243 threads popping up I’ll throw this one on here as well. I’m sure there are a few out here in the same situation I am of wanting a new gun but not sure how to justify it against what I already own. I’ve been kicking around the fast twist .243/6CM idea in my head for a...

    Soooo I’m thinking about .243- few questions

    Ok maybe this needs to be its own thread but I’ll start here. I’ve been kicking around the .243/6CM idea in my head for a while. I want a rifle that is cut to 16” for a suppressor and can handle whitetail hunting to 400 yards. I currently have a Model 7 with a 9.125” twist that shoots 95gr NBT...

    Short Barrel 6 Creedmoor?

    Curious why you guys are stopping at 18” with those numbers I’d be very tempted to take it down to 16”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    This is a great question and exactly the mental masturbation I’ve been doing. At this point think the only way I will convince myself is personal field data. So far I’m at 4 deer between 200-300 yards and no drama with the 223 77gr TMK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    So I already have a Remington model 7 243 1-9.125” twist that shoots 95grBT extremely well. But for some reason am thinking very hard about getting a 1-8” Tikka 243. Am I crazy? What would I actually gain? I keep trying to tell myself to just use that money to buy more bullets and components...

    Painless load development (mine)

    I did listen to it but I would love to have it explained more thoroughly. My mind has looked at it as stacking tolerances and I wanted to start off with the highest level of precision. I am happy to have that idea debunked and would like to understand it well enough to have a conversation with...
