    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    Mtnbound, of course. Again, this was more of a hypothetical comparing two different ballistic calculators, and I wasn't actually testing the variables by shooting them. I did use this setup this year, so it isn't completely hypothetical. 7mm PRC, shooting eldx 175 g at 2910 fps, 1/8 barrel...

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    So my understanding is zero angle is great to use in the real world if you have other variables changing between the conditions of when you zero your rifle and another shooting session (pressure, temperature, wind, etc.). This is because these changing variables will change your rifle's impact...

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    Disappointing to hear that 4DOF has such a big issue with angled shooting. I really like some aspects of the calculator. Thank you for sharing quicksilver!

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    The solution I was getting was significantly lower than GeoBallastics as well. Thanks!

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    Overall, I like mine. The best feature it has, in my opinion, is its wind options and on board sensors. Its ability to quickly calculate solutions with a full crosswind mode without using a wind gauge is very convenient. However, I have found it incredibly sensitive to...

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    Yes, I saw your post! I’ve also seen a couple other (older) posts regarding 4dof possibly not getting angle compensation right. I was just hoping to get some responses from people who have direct experience using the app with angled shots (since it seems like so many people use 4dof). Or...

    Hornady 4DOF vs GeoBallistics Angle Compensation Discrepancies

    Hi all, I was messing around with the Hornady 4DOF app vs GeoBallistics since I run a Vortex HD 4000 GB rangefinder, and noticed some major discrepancies when I started changing shooting angle. As the attached pictures show, the solutions with no angle are relatively close. I believe this also...

    Wolf Management News

    That would make sense that it had to do with the original reintroduction. I have not heard any conservative politician support any recent reintroductions. Thanks!

    Wolf Management News

    Do you remember which conservative politicians were mentioned that pushed for reintroduction? Because that would be news to me (unless we are talking about the first Rocky Mountain reintroduction, which was before my time following the issue).

    Idaho Muzzleloader Deer Recap

    Thanks THM! It really was a pretty nice buck for being essentially the only buck I saw on public, and for a pre-rut muzzleloader hunt. Just was hoping to at least see a few big ones with the unit's genetics.

    Influencing voters

    So I think we agree on the basics of how RCV works (as in, causing more moderate/minority party elected candidates). However, I think it is important to decide whether you want to "punish" bad candidates or political parties, or if you care more about which party controls the House (states are...

    Influencing voters

    Thank you for sharing your view N8H! I am not a resident of Idaho, but have family here and have been hunting here for the last month, so while I am pretty familiar with the issue, I haven't heard from many people in support of it and am interested in that POV. The open primaries is certainly...

    N8H, are more appealed by the rank choice voting, or the top-four open primary, or both? If you are willing to share your position further.

    Idaho Muzzleloader Deer Recap

    Thank you both for your explanations! My understanding after reading the rules was that it only banned FNG from asking unit specific questions, but I now understand Rokslide generally frowns upon unit specific posts in general. The original post has been edited to remove the unit specific...

    Influencing voters

    No, but they definitely have made me research something further (if I wasn't aware something was up for a vote) or discuss an issue/candidate with someone.

    Sighting in knight ultralight

    You have a few options. Like others are suggesting, you can switch to BH209, which really reduces fouling. You can also try sizing your own bullets, or buying bullets that are meant to be used bullet to bore. Then you can get bullets that are are ever so slightly more loose than the sabots...

    Wyoming wolf hunting

    There is a bill introduced in Congress that would likely ban the practice on federal lands (although it is a bit vague). It is unlikely to pass though since the WY congressional delegation, and other western representatives/senators are against it.

    Wolf Management News

    Just want to add some color to the legal position this case is in. It is a quite a bit more complicated than just being a "political" move, or an action that is "passed" or not. The federal government delisted wolves across the United States in 2020 (Trump Administration). This was done for...

    Pure Precision actions

    I have both the stainless and titanium actions, although I am running the titanium action on my new rifle. Haven't shot it a ton yet, but so far it has cycled pretty well and is smoother than some of the other custom actions I have tested. I can update this post once I really run it through the...

    Idaho Muzzleloader Deer Recap

    Hi all, I want to start by saying that I tried to do a lot of research when I drew this Idaho muzzleloader controlled hunt, and found very little relevant and/or recent info. I tried to start a thread here discussing this unit, and for whatever reason it wasn't posted or accepted. Now that I...
