Another option is to adjust muzzle velocity(assuming everything else is correct, this is the variable most likely to be off without a chronograph) in the calculator until the chart lines up with reality. -

Compare your actual results to what a ballistic calculator spits out, take that correction factor and apply to the 25, 50, 75yd in between each hundred So assuming 200yd zero, if the calculator says you should be 2" low at 300 and 4" low at 400 but you find you are 2.5" low at 300 and 4.5" low... -

According to the Berger website, a better way to compare bullets is to compare form factor or SD ÷ G7 CD as it compares to the "standard" of 1.000 In that case the 277 has a FF of .9996 or .04% better than the "standard" The 6mm has a FF of .9674 or 3.26% better than the "standard" I'm pretty... -

One extremely minor detail is the sectional density of each. .261 for the .243 .2699 for the .277 So assuming they hit at the exact same velocity, the .277 will penetrate a bit deeper. -

Idk the answer to that. I personally don't subscribe to this "let's see how small a bullet we can use to take the biggest game possible" game people are playing these days. That being said making game die as quick as possible should be the point and dead is dead. -

To further illustrate @blkqi point 270WSM vs 6.8 Western both CAN be loaded with the same high BC bullets but the 270WSM case was not designed for it so you eat up case capacity with the longer bullet losing velocity and trajectory. along with 270WSM never came in a factory rifle with a twist... -

Im assuming you are talking about a modern 6mm not 243. I would bet because both 243 and 270 were designed with relatively short bullets, and both of those bullets in question are longer than typical, they will both eat into case capacity and you will get similar reduction in... -

110 Tactical sling stud distance
Anyone know the distance between the front 2 sling studs on the 110 Tactical? Im looking at either a BT15 or BT17 rail and I want the shortest one that will use both holes. BT15 C-C spacing 1.76-2.78" BT17 C-C spacing 2.2 – 3.5″ -

New hunters. Cheap vs expensive? What do I actually need and what are realistic expectations?
I have strong feelings on this. There is alot of elitism in everything, hunting is no different. I don't begrudge people that have the money(or maybe not) to build a new super awesome, amazing UL rifle every year. I begrudge the people that try to make it out like that's the only way to do... -

Ideas on left hand coyote Gun.
110 Storm, MDT has the XRS for it. Should shoot like a BB gun. Or you could go a little stupid and get a 110 Elite Precision FWIW all things considered, 223 is the only thing I would choose for a dedicated coyote/target gun. -

New pew pew incoming
PSA has a good price on a 110 Tactical LH 6.5CM so I snatched and also have a Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 on the way for it. Pretty excited. Eventually it will get a MDT XRS. -

“Meaningful” differences 6.5 cm be 308?
Having an open mind is great, but there is a reason .30 has been so popular for so long....it works. "30 cal or nothing" is just as silly as "30 cal is old so there must be better" -

“Meaningful” differences 6.5 cm be 308?
If it's a case of "im not going to use use the 308 because I now have the 6.5" because it's "better"....... I say keep using the .308 and put that money into another few days of hunting during the year. Nowhere near enough difference at the ranges you stated to make any difference. Dead is dead. -

“Meaningful” differences 6.5 cm be 308?
Within 400yds or so it really doesn't make any difference. Beyond 400yds 6.5 takes the lead but both can still kill game effectively with proper shot placement. The big difference I see between them is recoil. Assuming the same weight rifle, 6.5 will have quite a bit less recoil and so easier... -

Adding a 6.8 Western??
I wouldn't say 6.8 is minimal recoil. That being said it ticks all the right boxes except rifle selection is not great and ammo availability/assortment is worse. Sent from my SM-S506DL using Tapatalk
