    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    It’s not throwing shade, just pointing out that what “the master” accomplished without a rangefinder and good ballistic solutions is well below what a mildly competent rifleman should be able to accomplish now. Most hunters suck at shooting and need all the help they can get.

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    Do I think having an actual range of game animals and the bullet drop in inches or angular correction displayed alongside the range improves hunters odds of aiming/hitting in the right spot compared to just sighting in 3” high and guessing how far they are and thinking within 3” of POA is good...

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    I recall hearing somewhere that an analysis was done based on hunts covered in his writings and he had an over 30% miss or wounding rate. Maybe his methods were the way in his time but its 2024 and common rangefinders make it obsolete.

    139gr CX loads for 7mm-08?

    Have you looked into what Barnes and others consider enough expansion to meet their "minimum" requirements? I don't think you're going to want to go below 2000 FPS with etips or barnes either.

    Australia Bans Bowhunting!

    He's probably a poster boy for justifying it..

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    Yeah. I’d be pretty disgusted, good thing it was under warranty still I assume?

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    Factory engine, unmodified? How did you use it? That's wild.

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    Tractor only gets towed twice a year at most and not very far. I’d agree with you if it was more frequent!

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    I’m around 10k # pulling my tractor with the 3.5 f150. Has power to spare but gets pushed around pretty easy!

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    I’ve had three 3.5s (‘16, ‘18, ‘22) with about 225k miles between them and never experienced an issue. Had the ‘16 longest, traded it for the ‘22 with around 135k miles IIRC. I’m a sucker for the power of them, more than I’ll ever need but its nice. Way more low end torque than the 5.0. A...

    Weatherby 307 - anyone tried one yet?

    Yeah, he's probably ok with his family trying to keep the brand relevant for customers beyond those buying a name based on what it was decades ago.

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    I dont get why people would do this in this day an age. 165 copper in a tikka 30-06 is probably 2700 fps’ish. 3" high at 100 is probably in the neighborhood of 7" low at 350. Given that most hunters aren't going to be 3 moa shooters in field situations, further complicating that with 7" of POA...

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    1 MOA is what, a whole 4 or 5 MPH wind deflection at that range? In my opinion 1 MOA error in zero is a big error and if we're arguing about trying to get the best zero the method that leaves you with 1 moa error is the wrong one.

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    The issue is that results at 250 yards are more likely to be impacted by environmental conditions than those at 100 yards, creating another source for error in your zero that is already likely to have that error due to poor precision.

    Remington custom shop barreled actions. $400

    Some of the posts from the beginning of this deal are good entertainment. It’s still hard to believe PT&G handled it how they did.

    Action Blueprinting a Weatherby Mark V

    "MOA guarantee" = at some point a single statistically insignificant 3 round group is shot measuring below 1 MOA. Doesn't mean your gun will do it most of the time or with any ammo you actually want to use necessarily. It's a marketing Schtick. Don't know enough to weigh in on the value of...

    Suppressor Accuracy on a Previously Unthreaded Barrel

    There are people who've had negative results but there's lots of factors at play.. Harmonics change, might not matter, might matter. Some barrels have looser and tighter spots in a bore, don't want a loose spot at the muzzle. Sometimes a suppressor on a given barrel just doesn't play nice...

    Maximum point blank range and sighting in at particular distances...

    As you pointed out, if your groups are not that precise at 100, getting a good zero at further will likely be even more difficult. 2.8" high at 100 will probably be your best path. If you want a good zero with that level of precision you're going to want a good # of shots to get it, even 10...

    Most definitive way to determine scope failure

    There is more to it than that. A number of things in the configuration of rings and the associated hardware impact the ring clamping force that corresponds with a given screw torque amount. In the case of ARC rings, it's a single screw that creates the entire clamping force for a ring and not at...
