who has free to use online external ballistics programs?

What a humbling queston, really makes one think. As the case head spaces off the shoulder or the belt, depending on the type of case design, and the fact that an interupted fit is not acceptible, then there technically has to be some clearance in the chamber. How much affect on accuracy it has...

Gotta say that I am pretty excited to hear about the VLD's for the 338. A couple years ago I asked about the possibility of just such a bullet and at that time there was no plan to produce one. The only part that concerns me is that the much talked about rapid ecpansion might not be ideal on a...

Corbin, start with a seating depth that allows you to fit the cartridges in the magazine and work up a load that shoots well in your gun. I was always told that the Bergers would not shoot well if they were not against the lands, which may be true if there is a lot of runout from the seating...

romx.I gotta ask if you are firing a fowler after each cleaning and suspect cleaning after every three shots is probably not necesary as well.

I was glad to see that I am not the only one who has no program for new barrels. I have spoken with several competition shooters over the years and get as many different answers as I have questions. The one thing that has been consistant though is that one should keep the barrel clean based on...

very interesting questions, it is refreshing to see a company interested in ones opinion, especially in these times when it sometimes appesrs that no one is listening or gives a da_b.

congrats boomer, I think you will enjoy the STW as it is relatively simple to load for and quite forgiving. I have been shooting the STW for 11 years now and have never looked back as it is very versitle. It will shoot most bullets accurately enough for hunting but I was a little distraught over...

I have used the Tubb bullets in a 7 STW SS with good succes. As with most stainless, it tends to be sticky when machined and difficult to get a smooth finish on, which grabs copper. After running the Tubb bullets thruogh the gun I noticed a lot less effort was required to keep the bore clean. As...

Glad to see some interest in the betrayed cartridge. I worked up a load for this cartridge for my wifes M70 this fall. I must say that I was plesantly surprised at the accuracy with the new E-Tip. This load will almost cloverleaf at 100 yds when I'm on my game. 68.0 gr of Magpro, Federal GM215M...

OK. now you have my attention. Tell me the B/C on this new 200 gr. E-Tip for the .338

As the E-tip is not listed on the ballistics program, I would like to know the B/C so as to find the calculated trajectory for our new load in the .284. Incidentally, I once again would like to thank all of you who responded to my plea for load development help with the E-tip. These bullets...

I would like to start by thanking those who went to the trouble of helping me find a starting point with the E-Tips. It seems as though all of my loads are low as compared to the load data. I live at 8800 ft. in elevation and was wondering if there is any correlation between altitude and the low...

Where might one find starting load data for the 150 gr. E -Tip and the 7mm WSM with Magpro powder ?

Nosler, Please allow me to make a suggestion for your new show. It seems as though the marketing people have decided all that is necessary is to show where to send your money so " you to" can whack some hand fed white tailed deer from the comfort of a plastic tree house, while employing all the...

How about something in the 168 gr weight class for the 7mm or the 210 gr weight class for the .338, of the E tip persuasion, of course.

Once again I crawled from beneath my rock to askabout the E=Tips. As I was scanning through the latest flyer from Midway, it was observed that part number 114-096 is indicating that a 150 gr., 7mm E-Tip is available. Is this accurate ?

At the risk of being accused of living under a rock, I am curiuos as to the status of the E-tip bullet in .338

Charlie, you are a man after my own heart. As the debate rages on over a topic that has only one good answer, which does the individual prefer, I grew up getting "the .270 will do everything better than anything" shoved down my throat. One thing I did not see in this forum was the fact that a...

In response to the E-Tip pole my vote is for a .338 diameter bullet. In my humble opinion there is a necessity here for a bullet with the ability to maintain its ability to penetrate at extreme velocity, such as would be necessary on big bears, yet have a great B/C to compliment the downrange...
