Thread: Norway's LR film (full feature)

Such accents!

Serious post: this is an excellent DVD for the beginner (and more "experienced" shooter too - don't think you're above learning!). It covers in a simple and straightforward manner all the basic information, processes and skills required to hit practically sized targets at realistic ranges. There's no information overload or excessive gadgetry. Definitely worth watching to demystify long range and make it accessible to everyone. Also, Norwegian accents.

Silly post :

I shot two 3 shot groups yesterday, one after speaking to the dog in a kiwi accent, and a second group after speaking to the dog in a Norwegian accent having eaten some dried salt cod.

The second group was tight as !!




Tim

The DVDs arrived this morning

I will get hold of everyone that ordered one this week & get them organised

Excellent , look forward to getting it .

Cheers Chris

PMs have been sent to those who asked for a copy.

If I have missed you out feel free to let me know.

not a bad video, will have to watch it a second time

But the first group man.. we need to hear about that, was it as I suspect, tighter than tight as.

Shhhhhh I didn't want to say that

Ahhh........he says wisely, finger tapping nose.

Thomas,

Well done on the video, definitely worth watching, and a very interesting / practical approach to long range shooting.

Couple of questions / comments:

In the wind section and the mountain section, I found that the English subtitles displayed on top of the original annotation - so difficult to read.

Also in the wind section @ 1:26:25, you talk about clicks. Are these clicks 1/4 MOA or 1/10 MilRad ? The subs-titles mention 4 clicks = 1 MOA, but up to that point everything in the video was 0.1 milrad click, so 4 of those would be 1.35 MOA...

Liked the fist measurement of incline, will definitely be using that one

Next question:

In the wind section, you compare 6.5x55 to 308. At around 1:24:40, you say that at 800m with 2m/s wind, your rule of thumb gives 18 clicks.

18 (0.1mil clicks) = 1.8 milrad = +/- 6 MOA

I've had a look at my windage tables and to need 6 MOA windage adjustment at 900yds (closest I have to 800m) the wind would need to be 8 mph or about 3.5 m/s.

So not sure what projectile you were using for 308, but that does not match the windage data I am using to shoot long range competitions (155gr Scenar @ 3020 fps).

Also ran some tests on JBM Ballistics for (using wikipedia speeds )

.308 155 Amax @ 910 m/s for full value 2m/s wind = 11 clicks @ 800m
.308 155 SMK @ 910 m/s for full value 2m/s wind = 10 clicks @ 800m

.264 100 Amax @ 970 m/s for full value 2m/s wind = 11 clicks @ 800m
.264 120 SMK @ 860 m/s for full value 2m/s wind = 13 clicks @ 800m

Maybe I am missing something obvious, but can't see the massive difference between the 2 calibers...

All seems like a dam good reason not use a 308 at range with drift like that a @veitnamcam
Taking cover now.

Anyone using 155 150gr out of a 308 for long range is a dick.

Gotta love internet experts.
