    Help with some ammo

    Ive got a box of Aguila 308 and Aguila 7.62x51 both 150gr, their website says they are identical by the velocity and energy at the muzzle and @100yds, but there is no mention of the BC or drop. Can I calculate BC from MV & 100yd velocity?

    If I make a poor choice, ill pay the price. I can accept that. Sometimes we all have to learn the hard way. Ill check for alignment before I drop the scope in and I can lap if I need to. Yeah, I know plenty say good rings shouldn't have to be lapped. I see why people say that, assuming...

    I'll keep things price generalized for the purpose of this because I dont want to get off in the weeds of brands. What does a $150+ set of CNC rings do that a $80 set of CNC rings doesn't? I'm not talking about the $20 junk from amazon. I have found that most things in life have a steep...

    I've found 3 rings that fit my purpose and don't cost a ton. Which would you choose? Going on a pic rail on a 110 Tactical 6.5CM holding a Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 Arken Halo Vortex Pro Warne Maxima I'd like to get to the range tomorrow and Sportsmans warehouse is my best bet for getting...

    110 Tactical sling stud distance

    For anyone curious, its very close to 2.5" So the BT15 would work, but I only found the BT17 in stock so that's what I got.

    "There is no reason at all for inches or any other linear unit to come into the discussion either." Thats not encouragement, thats lecturing.

    And a better analogy is its better to use the wrench for the size bolt you have vs a crescent wrench. but the crescent wrench still works.

    the statement was "Inefficiency being needlessly introduced into a (usually) time sensitive situation where you are about to shoot a living animal is, in my opinion, objectively a bad thing" That should mean ANY inefficiency. Or are we just cherry-picking which inefficiencies we are talking...

    The same could be said for a lot of things in hunting. You could make that case for not having "top of the line" clothing because you are less comfortable especially in bad weather, poorly fitting or overly bulky clothes that require frequent adjusting to be comfortable, choosing to shoot...

    calling it a "bad habit" is an opinion not a fact. Inefficient, yes. Wrong, no.

    Me personally, no. Again, what you or I think makes sense does not apply to everyone. Some people grew up thinking in inches and they will always think in inches and they see no need to ever change.

    again, thats how you see it. its not necessarily how everybody sees it. Im not disagreeing with your rationale, it is more complicated that just using whats there.........but that assumes everyone uses what is there. Plenty of people buy a 300 Win Mag to hunt whitetail from a stand and...

    unless someone thinks linear and translates it to angle through the scope. How you do it is right for you. Doesn't mean it's the only way.
