    Ballistics trajectory and other geometry

    Christ, I feel like I’m arguing with my wife, which we all know there is no winning. 😂 No, you didn’t directly call me dumb, just told me to read Ballistics for Dummies, and then turn around and completely agree with what I’ve been saying. @Ode1891 to recap - if you indeed zero at 50 yards...

    Ballistics trajectory and other geometry

    George, I’m not trying to be a dick. In response to this: I said it doesn’t make sense. You proceed to call me dumb (multiple times at this point). I’m just asking how a bullet can have a higher POI at 50 yds as well as 100 yards compared to its POI at 75 yards. The ballistics chart you...

    Lower at 100 than 75. Your original statement makes ZERO sense

    Ballistics trajectory and other geometry

    George, we need some context as to whom this is for, but I’m guessing this was directed to @txhunter58 and myself? Could you show us a ballistics path where POI is higher at 50 yards and 100 yards than it is at 75 yards. With your experience and long range skills, I defer to your judgment, but...

    Ballistics trajectory and other geometry

    I’m guessing he means high at 50 and about the same (as 75 yards) at 100. Otherwise doesn’t seem logical. Don’t see how it could be higher at 50 & 100 than at 75.

    Pup viciously attacked on SD hunt

    I agree! My “no one’s counting” was meant to imply doesn’t matter. Apologies

    Just like Ford and Chevy! Different models with each brand to fit ever so slightly different bore sizes, as well as completely different calibers. Experiment until you find something you’re happy with.

    30-06 reloading

    I loaded a bunch of test rounds with Winchester StaBall 6.5 (as well as a bunch with H4350), using 172gr Speer Impact bullets last week, in preparation for an elk trip this fall. Just haven’t had a chance to shoot them yet.

    Testing with a 50 caliber muzzleloader

    120-150gr powder by weight? Numbers in that range are usually measured by volume. Just making sure - Don’t want you to have a bigger boom than expected.

    Wolf Question

    You might try a red Crush Rib sabot or a Knight HP sabot. Both are slighly larger (more firm fitting) than the “standard” assorted black sabots.

    TICKS :(

    Thanks for the heads up, Tom. I just read through the (extensive) list of possible side effects and precautions. Sounds like doxy can cause half the symptoms we’re trying to get rid of! Lol But she says she’s feeling much improved compared to a few days ago.

    TICKS :(

    Well, my wife was just diagnosed with Lyme on Thursday after 3 weeks of the worst headache she said she’s every experienced, steady 100-102 fever, body aches, fatigue, etc. Two trips to urgent care in that time yielded no answers. It wasn’t until the splotchy rashes showed up that we realized...

    Bucket list hunt, whats yours?

    I went up to Gowganda/Shining Tree area in the late 90’s for a week long fishing trip. Just as you said, portaging lake to lake and had a blast with two buddies and their dad, who did the same trip many times in the 70s. Still bring it up, saying we would love to get back up there. But I’m sure...
