6mm CM or 6mm PRC
If I was going to shoot a common mono like a Barnes (I don’t, but understand why people do), I’d want to start it as fast as possible to maximize the range it would impact at an effective velocity. Between the lower BC and the higher minimum impact velocity threshold, a 95 LRX has way less... -

What rifles are the least picky with ammunition?
My best shooting barrels have been heavy cut rifled ones from Bartlein, Proof, Brux, Rock, and similar. All chambered in rounds like 6.5x47, 6 BR, 6 Dasher, and a quite accurate 6.5 PRC. The most accurate factory rifle I’ve personally owned is a Seekins PH2 6 Creed. I’ve never had a BAD... -

6mm CM or 6mm PRC
Between 16.5" & 24". Here's some of my numbers, the highlighted ones are theoretical and based on extrapolations from Hodgdon's top end data pushed to 65ksi, the top two are actual loads I use (that CM load is pretty soft for competition use). Based off the 6 UM results and other... -

6mm CM or 6mm PRC
I can’t see you getting the velocities you’re talking about at those barrel lengths in the CM without crazy pressure. Hodgdon’s data for a 95 Berger (which should produce less pressure than the Barnes) has Superformance making 3300ish @ 24”, the best single base extruded powder is closer to... -

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
I’m impressed that the roundabouts here work as smoothly as they do. When they started putting them in I figured it’d be chaos. -

10+ Years of Use, What Worked
(2012) Stone Glacier 3300 ci pack (not sure if it had a name at the time, it was a pre-production sample when they had one product) I've upgraded the hipbelt, otherwise it keeps on going, has a couple holes. If I was going to do a lot more multi-day trips I'd spring for a bigger bag. As it...- Carl

Time to upgrade pickup?
The depreciation + the interest + the opportunity cost of having the money tied up in a vehicle is the cost. For total cost of ownership you should add in insurance, fuel, maintenance, and upgrades/accessories. To figure out how much something cost you, you don't add how much it cost you to...- Carl

Time to upgrade pickup?
I don't think buying a new Raptor is a good financial decision for 98% of people, but that math doesn't add up. Literally.- Carl

22 acre lot near Bozeman
Ha! You should write for the Chronicle. In all honesty it's a ongoing situation the hip areas of the west are going to have to contend with for the foreseeable future. -

WTB SWFA 6x moa
Their website pretty well said just that on the banner today. I’m certainly interested in the updated offerings. @brockel glad you found what you were looking for…even if it was the dirty dirty minute of angle model.- Carl

Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's
“Best” shots and best judgment need not ever meet… I’ve had a few situations where I had to think afterwards “I should probably never let them see me shoot again.” -

Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's
I’ve made some decent shots on big game but try not to play hero with them. In my youth, on ground hogs and birds around the farm, different story. It didn’t hurt that there was a bounty :) Lots of miracle shots, including more than a couple wing shots on birds with a Crosman 2100. This... -

How to ruin a Leupold
You think? I bet he makes good guns that shoot well, but I’m certain he and I (and yourself) wouldn’t talk about accuracy potential in the same terms. @Wind Gypsy, do you know anyone who knows what they’re doing in the shooting space (on the consumer side) who worries about accuracy... -

How to ruin a Leupold
All scopes certainly can misbehave or outright fail. I've been there for two Nightforce failures and know of a couple more, and I broke a SWFA myself years back (abusing it, to be fair). And yet, those are the two brands I've ended up with on my rifles. I really like my ZCO, but am in the... -

How to ruin a Leupold
Was helping someone with a VX6 Friday. Zero'd at 100, shot drops dialing the turret out to 1000. Things didn't seem right while doing some positional practice after, when we went back to paper at 100 it was off 3 inches. Re-zero'd it, mapped the B&C reticle for drops at distance to avoid...
