Go get em!

What I'm suppose to say in my previous statement was, normal altitude above sea level plus the actual temperature will give you Density altitude.

I'm not familiar with Strelok. With Ballistic Advance Edition, you enter altitude and temperature and it will calculate density altitude.

Is your Weaver a Picatinny or the standard Weaver base. Weaver base and picatinny is not the same. Try lapping your ring. If that doesn't work bed it with epoxy.

You can use either or. I'd rather use Density altitude than the barometric pressure reading from the Kestrel. Barometric pressure can change moment by moment, especially when there is weather disturbances like low or high pressure moving in. I've been using Ballistic Advance Edition. The program...

I use 74.5 grains of IMR 7828. Velocity is around 3200 fps. My Model 70 Laredo LRH has 26" PacNor 10 twist Polygonal barrel. Very accurate load.

26" Proof Research 8 twist.

Thanks guys. This thing is very addictive. The rifle is getting bigger, the competition is getting tougher and the distance is getting longer. I've just ordered a 20X action from Pierce for a 416 Barrett build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV3YGvPMlF8

it's 40"square.

Last two competition was a disaster for me that I really thought the barrel on my 375 Cheytac is toast. The bore on the barrel after only 500 rounds look like the skin of an African crocodile. Prior to sending it to the smith for re-barelling, I gave it a thorough scrubbing and put together a...

LOL, I have to ask for permission from the CFO. I was warned though to be very careful or else.

So far so good. Did some reloading for my 375 Cheytac using 140 grains of Reloader 50 and it was a breeze. I compared the accuracy of the A&D FX-120 against my 1010 balance scale and it's spot on. Here's a video as I fine tuned the auto trickler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6HcCLG8LSE

I have a dual purpose 6BR built on an accuraized Model 700. I used 29.5 grain of Hodgdon Varget with 105 Berger VLD Match. I also found and really accurate load using 87 grain Hornady V-Max.
