Re: weight differences in 32 gr. lead free bullets

If you have a chronograph,I would check velocity,some loads that shoot good at 100 yards may not at 300 or farther.Usually caused by velocity differences between each shell.It's the same thing I ran into with the last 1000 40 grain lead bullets i bought,.7 to .8 grain difference low to high.The low ...

The real good tripods are very costly,may be cheaper to buy a rifle,give it to some one and pay them to shoot it :lol: I've heard of a couple people had the Jim Shockey Trigger sticks tripod,i think they made Adapter to fit Sling Swivel Stud, being able to adjust height easy is a big plus.You might ...

Re: Acceptable Velocity Spread

With 27 gr of varget,you should be getting around 3550 fps. At 70 fps ES elevation will be about 1 inch difference at 400 yards. At 500 yards about 2 inches.70 fps ES is a little on high side.I get around 16-24 ES or less, and standard deviation usually in the single digits w/ Varget,W-748-,H322,H33...

Re: extreme range 600 to 1000 yds

Re: Hornady 40 grain V-MAX

I think you missed my point, :? The post was about large weight difference of bullets.If you are trying to Shoot Tightest Groups your Rifle is Capeable of;you should Sort by OGIVE Length,and weight of bullet.Not Everyone sort their bullets.I merely pointed out if you Do NOT and you shoot 40 v-max; a...
