Nate1647545505 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I do believe that you can create/modify different BC's with reloading. BC are tested and derived in a specific set of conditions. They are property of the bullet dynamics, and those alone. When you work with ballistic models, they eat the BCs as an input, and "true" the output in your current conditions. BCs are not a static number, they're a dynamic variable. This is an in-flight rating of a bullet - whatever happens before it - isn't accounted for. Whatever length barrel, whatever twist, whatever rifling will not raise or lower a BC. Bryan Litz's books are a great resource in long range precision/high power rifle. Compared to most books on projectiles, it is an easy read yet credible.

gillbot Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 If you want accuracy, be prepared to spend big coin. If you want big booms then there are plenty of alternatives. I'd love a nice McMillan myself but I think I'm going to opt for a state arms. Good balance of cost and accuracy. I just can't find an ffl worth a shit near me.

Maybe I'll look for a decent 338lm. Though, that EDM windrunner is calling my name!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I would be of the opinion to pick up the WindRunner in both 50 and 416. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 The FCP and P are the same minus the chassis, which I plan on changing. Bob was able to help me locate a P locally and got it for a deal and I couldn't say no. It's a wierd feeling buyin a gun on the phone while in Mexico City trudging through the city for work.

On3Performance Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'll pressure him into that. And, the eventual/inevitable machine gun.

Diamonds Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I would be of the opinion to pick up the WindRunner in both 50 and 416. So, the windrunner I found comes in 408/50. Thoughts on 408? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I don't have any experience with it and not really common in the mid-west high power circles. From first glance I can say two things; it's expensive if you don't reload and it has pretty good BC's on paper. I would say box 750gr AMAX 50 would serve you better. Most of the guys average 1-2ish groups @ 100yds on M33/API from bolt 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I believe I will be purchasing a used M96 Windrunner if all goes well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm still tire kicking a Bmg myself. Found one in Cincy but my current situation prevents me from going to look at it. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i191/gillbot/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsf228a6ac.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 My heel. Surgery on my Achilles' tendon. I was set to check out a 50 last weekend when that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Holy :no: Hope that heals well man. That looks nar nar... Mind me asking what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Calcification of the achillies tendon with haglunds deformity. (In laymans terms, a big fucking bone spur on the heel growing through the achillies tendon causing severe pain. The spur was removed and the heel bone reshaped to prevent the tendon from rupturing.) It got so bad I couldn't stand or walk and the tendon was in very bad shape. The doc was afraid it was going to rupture so he said "it's time" and he cut that bitch up. I can say, aside from the surgical pain, it already feels way WAY better but I'll know more when I'm allowed to walk again. I'm trying to decide if I want to beg someone to go look at this 50 for me, beg the wife to take me there to look or just let it go and buy what I really want later down the road.
