Mine loves 165's BT's but 180' Partitions will do in a pinch. I say go for it!

I know this is an old topic but I just installed Strelok Pro on my phone and I can't figure out how to change the Barometric Pressure from inches of mercury to millibars. It's driving me crazy! 
I had the older version that worked fine but everyone is using the new version and they talked me into it. I have to agree that it is a great program and I've used the old version it out to 800 yards and it is dead on.

Since my scope hadn't arrived, just the base, it was a rather boring experience sinc eall I could do was point it downrange and pull the trigger.
It was a Howa heavy barrel in 6.5 CM. I have a Vanguard already but I wanted something a little more "tacticool"

Thanks. It's the first time I have ever "broken in" a barrel. 10 shots, cool and clean between each shot, then 2 shots, clean, cool, five times. Total 20 rounds. I did notice that the patches weren't as dirty when I finished the last of the 10 round shots. I figure it wouldn't hurt.

Can this be used to clean a bore after every shot while breaking in a barrel? Mfg recommends an ammonia based solvent.

I haven't watched ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ad nauseum in years. I have satellite tv and I can program what they call a "favorite" list. They ain't on it. So when I'm channel surfing they never even come up as an option. They simply don't exist in my house. If more people would do that maybe they would just fade away. I just don't watch or listen to their crap. I don't even know who this Rachel Maddow is? And from what I'm reading I'm kind of glad I don't. Best to let sleeping cows lay.

Interesting read. Especially about the Vikings and the Greenland settlements.

I'm kind of partial to the Chilean and Spanish red wines. Something about a good plate of pasta or grilled backstraps with a glass of wine.
I'm partial to Woodward Reserve and Glenmorangie whiskeys too.

I used to think that abortion was wrong until I realized that half the people walking around today should have never been born.

What is insane is the fact that people will willingly live in such states as CT, MA, or CA when there are nicer places to live. Shame on you.

Pretty exciting! Like Championship Wrestling. Lots of drama but you know who is going to win. They decided that weeks ago.

Ammo / Re: Creedmoor.. What or who is it?
« on: January 09, 2017, 03:25:58 PM »Name comes from Creedmoor, Long Island, NY. Was a 1000 yard range there long long ago before the urbanites took over. I'm sure the 6.5 was designed for long range precision shooting. But its not a Weatherby. And wont be.
But I have a Weatherby chambered in Creedmoor.
...and it's a shooter too!

Rifles / Re: Weatherby Mark V dings in stock.
« on: January 06, 2017, 05:55:39 AM »
Every gun I own has a ding. Nothing is more satisfying than a good ding. I sold a beautiful Lazermark because I didn't have the heart to take it hunting and ding it. It was basically worthless to me. Looking back I should have just closed my eyes and walked through a briar patch with it. It would have probably been a great rifle after that.

Just look what it has done for France , Germany and other countries in Euro.We are seeing individual acts of terrorism here but not on the same scale as Euro.
Give it time...
