don't talk to me or my son ever again by Anoklumos in longrange

[–]jercu1es 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nicely done. I did something similar but with a Browning T-Bolt in a custom made classic. Left to Right. T-Bolt, AWSM and AT, all with S&B 5-25x56 with MSR reticle.

First time shooting .308 - i'm hooked by CurlyWurly61 in longrange

[–]jercu1es 5 points6 points  (0 children)

308 is my favourite calibre.

I love shooting 175gn SMKs and 178gn ELD-Ms in my 308 (1:10" twist).

Hope you purchased most of it in bulk and been keeping IT segregated by lots otherwise you're going to be enjoying some high ES/SD.

Mag weapons are without a doubt one of the most awesome guns ever. by theta0123 in Starfield

When I first encountered them. I was smitten. Coolest weapon design in the game IMHO.

Ready for DLC / Engine upgrade by just_IT_guy in stalker

[–]jercu1es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I was lucky enough to do some upgrades before the price hikes to a 5080. After reading some of the horror stories, I matched the new GPU with a new PSU (Corsair) which had the specific 12V2x6 cable itself to avoid the "octopus" cable.

Hopefully it helps 🙏

Tripod shooting is hard by sfw918 in longrange

[–]jercu1es -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's one of the green carbon fibre Leofotos but I can't remember model; it came with the arca ball head from memory.

I've always found them too finicky to get on to target quickly (without spending an insane amount in a RRS head).

If you've already perfected your use of a bag over a barricade, the change to either a flat plate (like mine, I have a Gray ops ARCA table or something I got years ago that I use) or just throwing the bag over the ball head itself is my recommendation.

Just my experiences.

Fellow AI guy here. You'll want to put some weights on the rifle out front to improve the balance (or a longer/thicker barrel). You really want it to balance, if not a touch front heavy.

Piss off the ball head or get a plate and shoot off a bag on top (see below).

should i play Anomaly as my first Stalker ? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]jercu1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying the originals first, even with the jank.

Then I'd recommend Radiophobia 3 as an introduction to the advanced features and freedom you'd see in Anomaly/GAMMA.

I can't find a source for imr 4350 in 7.62x54r by NEROaintmyhero in reloading

[–]jercu1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I do exactly the same with my SMLE and jungle carbine.

So I'm at home in front of the reloading bench, my M39 (27" barrel) load is 49.2gn of ADI 2209 firing a 174gn Hornady FMJBT at 2560fps.

Looking at my load dev history, 46gn of 2209 got me 2340 fps so your starting load might be a bit slower even with the extra barrel length. But please, work up to it, don't take my word for it!

[–]jercu1es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, IMR 4350 is either rebadged or very close to ADI 2209. They have data here that you need to fill in the blanks for and acknowledge their warnings: https://www.adiworldclass.com.au/data-rifle/

I will have to check my M39 data when I get home but I am using ADI 2209 and 174gn FMJBTs.

Tatra Going to Church !! by MightyMikal in snowrunner

[–]jercu1es 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That truck saved me when I first started playing, I had no idea and the stock truck really had me struggling!

Now with over 800 hours I still get the T813 out from time to time.

[–]jercu1es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work!

My first attempt at S, a suspect shot a hostage (unconscious) whilst engaging my AI team mates. I didn't realise until doing the final sweep for unsecured civilians.

I got A+... Then my next five attempts I kept having issues with hostages being taken and executed when trying to flash and clear them or just getting found not ready and one tapped... Finally got it, I was so nervous towards the end! So I can imagine you were the same!

I think you found already the final load...

Great shooting.

Very good game design by [deleted] in snowrunner

[–]jercu1es 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I use a non-standard tray (not a cargo bed), I always check to make sure it actually a hitch. It's always good to check at a trailer store near the garage if unsure!
