Long Range Only Forum

How Much Does ES/SD Really Matter for Long-Range Hunting? Below is an example of one scenario but this is just the math portion. This example considers a load that was developed at short distance and then plugged into a calculator. This below is why we recommend long range load development with a significant data set for proving the final load and then the statement that the target does not lie. A practical example using an honest 3/4-MOA hunting rifle A useful way to look at... Read more

I'm thinking of downsizing some rifles (two x-bolt pros, 300wm and 6.5prc) and turning the funds into a fierce rifle in 7mm prc (or a proof elevation mtr). However it seems that outside of LRO there's a ton of negative posts on other sites on how bad the fierce brand/quality/customer service is. Am i over thinking this? Or is ther another brand that doesnt have this stigma that i should be looking at? Theres a firearms store close by that is becoming a seekins dealer, and ive located a... Read more

I would like to get some advice on load development for an upcoming ibex hunt in Kyrgyzstan. The hunt will take place in late November, so temps are anticipated to be below freezing. Base camp will be +/- 12,000 ft, with hunting at a slightly higher altitude. Rifle setup - 7PRC, Origin LA, 24" Proof carbon (1:8), Alpine Hunter stock, NX8 4-32x50 f1. Earlier this year, when temps were below 50 in north Georgia, I developed a 1/2 MOA load with the following components - ADG brass, Berger... Read more

How do these compare terminally? I have more than enough of both of these bullets to load. But when i get my gun back i will have to get load development done fairly fast for my hunt coming up. I just won't have the time to tinker with both until after. It is a custom reamed 300 RUM with wyatts cfe9 so not constrained by mag box. I assume I could scare, if not achieve, 3100 with the 230 possiby. I know many on here have lots of on game experience on both and wanted to seek advice. I... Read more
