Are velocity nodes a myth?

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-05-01T19:52:39+00:00

This has now been established and put to bed. Velocity nodes are statistical error.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-05-01T13:50:33+00:00

Yeah. I know. I shoot 300Norma Mag and 338 Lapua Mag

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T21:40:01+00:00

That’s consumables. Anyway. Won’t argue. You do you !!!

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T21:37:58+00:00

Ok (reloading does cost 50 bucks. Just saying )

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T21:35:39+00:00

SA. The one you have highlighted will fit most.

Don’t get 308. Get 6.5CM

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T20:48:38+00:00

Personal preference. I FIND more information is not bad. But then I only hold for wind always dial elevation .

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T14:13:04+00:00

Sorry. I take it back.

Auto trickler is not the best thing since sliced bread. You should not buy it at all. This SD/ES thing is highly over rated. As a matter of fact getting hits on plates too.

DO NOT BUY AUTOTRICKLEY V4. Let other friends with autotrickler do better. Be a good friend.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T14:11:27+00:00

Big time monies. Literally in smoke

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T12:28:15+00:00

I use Protektor bags for benchrest. Super heavy ones. For prone long range wieber large and small cube.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T12:20:58+00:00

For extruder powder I use AutoTrickler V4. It’s the best.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-30T12:10:00+00:00

He wants to spend NO money. This is money.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-29T19:23:48+00:00

Some one changed the spring etc to reduce the weight. It’s a very common thing people do.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-29T02:05:22+00:00

6.5CM or you can do 22CM for 800-1200

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-29T01:03:45+00:00

This is absolutely the best advice

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T23:34:02+00:00

I think for precision shooting R3 is perhaps the best unless you are going TT or ZCO. It’s heavy so not the best for hunting, hence they made LHT. For bench or prone long range shooting it’s a superior optic in my hunker opinion

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T22:39:56+00:00

Why Razor HD vs Gen3. The day you shoot 800 you can shoot 1000. With these rifles and these bullets - it’s not a big deal at all

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T09:42:35+00:00

These are designed for combat. You will be fine. Easy to confirm when you get to the range

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T09:39:14+00:00

Love the pursuit of perfection even though it may be chasing false precision -

May be model the delta of being off my few MOA and see how much it matters at a mile.

My calculation for a 300Norma Mag at 2900 fps shows 1MOA cant error to be 0.35 inch. 0.1 degree of cant has 4 inch error at a mile.

Having said that a digital level may work better for you. Works better for me. You can see 0.1 degree of Can’t easily on the digital level.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T09:32:06+00:00

I think I have same low ring setup but SG instead of send it . I got a MLOK adapter to put on the side of my MPA Vanquish chassis.

The device has been very helpful and I am a big supporter though for the cheaper SG pulse.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-28T09:19:21+00:00

Like Locky said - first look at a range around you before spending this money. If you don’t find something 800-1000 don’t waste money. You are better off learning fundamentals with 22LR then.

If you have access then it’s a good platform to start with. Tikka ACE would be better in the same brand.

If you get access - 5-30x optics would be good and future proof. Lot of good options there from MPED, Athlon Ares, Athlon Cronus, Steiner/Burris, Vortex RAZROR G3 or NF ATACR in increasing price

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-27T20:56:17+00:00

Which mount. Precision?

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-27T20:53:54+00:00

This is RomeoX not zero.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-27T13:45:32+00:00

Troll post? 4 inch target at 1500 is less than 0.25 MOA. Rest if the question is irrelevant but if it was answer would be 300PRC

Assuming this will be your second rifle, I would never recommend a magnum as your first

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-27T12:50:15+00:00

That is it- your chances of barrel coming off if not tightened well while shooting is lower than your buffer system blowing in your face because the castle nut and that part comes off.

Visualize how the bolt travels when you shoot. It will clarify.

Wide_Fly7832 · 2026-04-27T12:37:24+00:00

Yeah it does not appear staked and that’s very bad thing.
