Thank you, this was helpful. Most of which falls into the confirmation bias category for me. I’m running a 20” proof and finding best accuracy nodes around the 2700 ish mark as well. I’m running 175 eldx .020 seating from lands 3.055 coal and 2.342 off the OJ, with both h1000 & 4831sc both tend...
Yes sir, I started out with H1000 it has been my go to powder for me with my 300 ultra, 300 prc and 7mag. All of which have 23” - 26” barrels. I had high hopes for H1000 in the Saum but the burn rate is just a tad to slow in the 20” proof. That said I think the 4831sc is just a tad to quick I’d...
I working through load development with a new 7 Saum proof 20” 1-8 twist. I’m struggling to find a combo that hold 3 shot groups under 1moa. Best combo so far is 175 eldx with 57.5 grs of 4831sc .020 off the lands 2700 muzzle fps. Wondering if anyone else has had trouble dialing in their 20”...
I’m running 57.5 grs of 4831sc with ELDX 175 through a 20” proof carbon around 2710 fps. seating .020 off in my 7saum. I’ve tried H1000 up to 63grs at 2750. Both powders have had good sd however I’m struggling to get better than 1” MOA accuracy.
Went out to the west desert this week and started with 60.5 up to 63. Unfortunately I forgot the chronograph at home so no velocities. No pressure signs at 63grs H1000 180 eldm Norma brass federal 210 LR. That was the first 30 rounds down the barrel. Planning to rinse wash repeat and maybe run...
What is everyone’s thoughts on a good starting powder charge for the 180 ELDM with H1000 proof 20” barrel. Also, does anyone have a max charge for the same scenario?
I’ve had the 8x32 pro’s for a week now, I haven’t ran out hem through any rifle testing. I did use them on a 3D archery course and they’re sweet. I did a low light comparison on a hill (that ranged at 2500 yards laser worked great) against my NL 12x42’s. The low light performance is right there...
Thanks for the lead on Tristan, I’ll be reaching out to him. The issue I’m running into with MOA/MIL marks being printed on sight tape is that distance between each hash is also influenced by the distance between the peep and the bow sight.
Agreed. You would think with the AB and the ability for software updates.. This would be a pretty sweet option. Possibly already in the works.
Seems like the main issue or difference between a rifle scope and a bow sight is the way the adjustments for elevation are made/ measured.
The math...
I agree with you on that. Most shots out to 80 don’t require more precision than standard cosine “horizontal distance”. However steep angle shots do seem to have greater errors of margin, and when coupled with a in sight in distance at 4500’ elevation and hunting elevation between 10-12k. There...
Has anyone tried using the Crossbow ballistics built into the New Leica Geovid Pro rangefinder with a compound bow?
Looks like you can build a bow profile much like a rifle profile.
My question is, if you had a slider sight and used MILS or MOA for a sight tape instead of yards. Would the...
I’ve ordered the Leica pro 8x32. Planning to compare them with the swaro NL 12x42. Not really a good apple to apple comparison however I think that would be a great combination of glass for western hunters.
