    The answer is in the instructions? The extra material has a detailed step by step showing how to make these thumbrules for your specific cartridge.

    What if you had a 1:13 twist barrel on your hunting rifle ? Would you still insist on a heavier projectile ?
    I would rebarrel in a faster twist,actually I just have :p

    Yes, you are wrong. It is for ordinary hunters wanting to try longrange shooting, with all the assosciated problems with non-specific gear, lacking infrastructure etc. No thought given to selection, the students were told to come as-is with whatever and learn to use that with whatever limitations the gear imposed. Undoubtedly, some hunters will use it for game. They would have done this regardless of this film and likely after reading some shady internet voodoo, so better give them a whack and get some circulation up there. If you do it, at least do it properly.

    Clicks: Both 1/4 MOA and 0.1 MRAD - it doesn't matter.
    Watch the extra material with the detailed instructions. We are not showing rules for THE 308 or THE 6,5x55 but THAT SPECIFIC 308 load and THAT SPECIFIC 6,5x55 load. You use your specific load in your own ballistic app to see the specific pattern/ thumbrule in the click/range relation for your specific rifle/cartridge combo. If you want to call it "MOA" or "MRAD" instead of "clicks" it really doesn't matter - it is just an easy way to put a complete ballistic table into a shooters head. Remember ONE sentence and you'll find any windage click value.


    Use selfadhesive foil. Buy the expensive -40/+150 Celsius chemical resistant/ UV proof or specify that to a print shop. Use equally expensive laminate and seal. It should now take more abuse than the shooter can.

    Just finished watching the DVD. Awesome Norway. Top job. Sub titles are very clear and make sense. I will be re-watching and taking notes. This is perfect for me just starting out LR shooting. It could almost come out with a little booklet that repeats some of the detail rather than having to re-watch sections of the film. Haven't watched bonus material. Maybe it's there already to print from a computer. can't wait until the weekend to start applying the tools.

    I bet shes practically rigid with excitement at the thought of watching Norways DVD.

    No offense @Norway but I'm guessing its probably not a chick flick

    My thoughts was "that's a novel way of setting yourself up for a divorce..."

    If not divorce, he will have to repay so unproportionally considering the lenght of the film

    Chris, the bird is called capercaille. Skiing after them is really nice
