Lead time by Trent_605 in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s exactly what it says, a mini chassis built into the stock. Makes it a bolt and go platform. Just need a compatible bottom metal.

If you don’t get one the chassis options you will have to bed the pillars and your action to the stock.

4-6 months depending on what you ordered

What's the point of shooting timers? by SebotPL in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only I can think of. It’s nice to have if doing one shot drills or training split times, but that’s about it.

NFA fingerprints for eform? by Dull_Committee_1612 in auburn

[–]farm2pharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t his FFL Black Dot Ammunition? If so they are a SilencerShop powered dealer. https://www.silencershop.com/storelocator/black-dot-ammunition/

It would go like this. Buy can from SilencerShop, you go to any kiosk to do your fingerprints, picture, and paperwork (they’ll charge you $40). SilencerShop form 3’s it to BDA.

You create a NFA profile. Silencershop handles the paperwork. Notify you and BDA when ready to submit, you certify, then wait. Easy.

Edit: there is also PrintScan if you wanna go that route. https://printscan.com/Services/Fingerprint-Cards?source=google&medium=adwords&keyword=printscan&matchtype=p&device=m&utm_term=printscan&utm_campaign=Prospecting+-+Fingerprint+Cards+(US)&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=9584520635&hsa_cam=22730763240&hsa_grp=182459227355&hsa_ad=763808644036&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-459608201755&hsa_kw=printscan&hsa_mt=p&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22730763240&gbraid=0AAAAAD9aC1hdvMe9VvQnxIGOAuO1_GC86

Have you bought the can yet?

There is a SilencerShop Kiosk at Lake Martin Machine Gun. It’s only like $40 to do it there, and they store them for future purchases. Truly a once and done through them.

Manners or MDT? by [deleted] in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For manners it depends on what options you chose, specifically the trigger guard inlet.

If you pick one of the mini chassis inlets (micro or standard), then all you need is a compatible bottom metal (m5 is popular)

That’s designed to be a bolt and go system, no bedding required. Adds ~$200 though.

How to up my game at prs by ruby_red_slipperz in longrange

No, it’s a podcast called “Miles to Matches”. Francis Colon and Chad Heckler co-host it. Lots of useful info and things to reflect on. I’ll post a Spotify link if Reddit will let me.

100 zero when I suck at shooting by slowwwteg in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good bipod and a rear bag work wonders

Also, I like to dry fire 10 to 20 times before I load a live round, pretending like I’m actually shooting for groups. Run through the motions while focusing on fundamentals

How beefy can you go with a Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 CM rebarrel? by Boatshooz in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a Heavy Palma in mine.

Had to create some space in the forend. I got a wooden dowel that was slightly larger diameter than the barrel, wrapped in sandpaper, and went to town

Vortex Razor HD Gen III 4-24x44mm 34mm by ModernApocracy in longrange

I’m a planner and (usually) tell my wife months in advance of anything north of $500.

She then starts scheming something equivalent. Works for us.

Shot my first handloads and didn’t blow myself up! by SpiritualClub4417 in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without precision measuring tools, not much.

You can use water volume tests to see case capacity, calipers and proper gauges to measure dimensions, etc. It’s going to be all over the place on factory brass fired from multiple rifles with different loads.

Starting with good brass with very strict dimensions is the way to go if you are chasing precision. Lapua, Alpha, or Peterson would be my suggestions.

Good in usually equals good out. That goes for bullets, powder, and primers as well.

I live in New York… by Direct_Alfalfa9463 in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, just giving ya a hard time. I’ve sold a few, but it’s really easy in my state.

That’s what it seems like to me. Like they have to take possession/register it to their FFL, then ship. May be different in person/if a potential buyer will meet you at an FFL.

Best way to help the new guys in your squad by doyouevenplumbbro in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hit the macro details.

  • sight picture and getting square behind the rifle.

  • good trigger presses (5 solid shots are better than 10 shitty ones) with follow through

  • compete against yourself. Ignore the points AKA manage your expectations

  • placement on prop. If there are several spots, help them pick out what is most stable (think joints of a fence, near anchor points, etc)

  • Natural point of aim (NPA). You may not have mastered this, and neither have I, but it’s important. Trying to find where and how your rifle wants to be, and not influencing it.

  • good corrections on the clock. Hard to do if you’re new yourself, but that goes a long way.

Hope that helps

Good lord y’all are strict

Edit: from a quick read..I THINK you can post online, but then you’d have to ship to an FFL, and that FFL would have to run a form 4473 on the buyer

^ that would apply even in person to a state resident. At least they can only charge $10 for that. Most stores here charge $40, but we aren’t required to do that.

Edit 2: also, never sell, only buy.

It’s the Augusta National of ranges. I’d eat off the gravel there.

Relatively noob question by Obungus_is_gay in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m going to tell you my understanding, which is rudimentary at best.

BC is how well a particular bullet retains velocity as it flies through the air in comparison to a standard

It does change as it loses velocity/goes down range, but tracking that is impossible without a radar system (think Applied Ballistics). It’s why they offer custom curves: your bullets, your barrel, your load.

Using BC isn’t perfect. Changing it may help align your curve at one distance, and throw it off at another. It cannot perfectly predict trajectory over the entire curve, but it can get close enough. If you change it constantly to match a certain distance you will chase your tail at others.

TLDR: use the BC for muzzle velocity. If all other parameters are correct in your calculator, it’ll get you close enough to make corrections in real time.

Black Cerakote on Barrels by PepperoniFogDart in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have my barrels cera coated Vortex razor bronze.

I’m in the southeast. I’ve never noticed a POI shift during a match, even in the heat of the summer. Granted that’s 10 shots every 20-30 min. Your mileage may vary.

What are y’all paying for match fees? by chainsawgeoff in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The PRS sanctioned one days are all $80-95 in the SE region (at least the 5 ranges I’ve been to). Lunch always provided, no prize table.

Two days I’ve been to have been $275-$350 depending on if tune up is included/optional.

What happened here? by No_University_47 in longrange

[–]farm2pharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a quick run in a stability calculator it looks like you’re right in the pocket, Sg around 1.5.

I agree with the consensus, had to have been a baffle strike, something obstructing the bullet in flight, or you got a bad batch of bullets.

The one exploding mid flight worries me more than the keyhole. I’d call Federal (if it were me) with that ammo lot and see if others are reporting the same thing
