Android apps are more often free than iOS apps, and Apple users are more likely to be willing to pay for an app vs Android users. I have indeed researched all this. Overall market research isn't as useful as targeted market knowledge in this case, since the overall market for phones may or may...

What kind of phone do you, a fellow firearms enthusiast, keep in your pocket? I'm trying to figure out which market an aspiring app designer should target first if he wants to reach the most firearms enthusiasts, iOS or Android. Unfortunately I'd have to choose one or the other-- it's too...

I went with 277 WLV myself, but I considered 300BO heavily before doing so. Also, don't discount the round nose bullets out of hand. They may fail to feed, or they may not. A friend loaded and fired 100 of the 110 RN throigh his 300BO pistol with no issues. If you can straight trade them for...

277 Wolverine (6.8x39) is my favorite lately, definitely the most out there I've had. I'm really looking forward to trying it out during deer season this year. I am holding out on the slim hope for my grandpa's Krag someday, and while 30-40 Krag isn't really that different than a number of...

Pics? Jamming into the rifling will generally leave a number of rectangular marks (6 I think for the RA) around the bullet on the ogive, not circles.

The turrets physically adjust the position of the erector tube inside the scope... even if the label is wrong, the turret on top of the scope (vertically in line with the bore) should adjust elevation, and the side turret should adjust windage. Either they labeled the turrets wrong and you...

I went with the Vortex HST 4-16x44 with the MOA reticle. It is heavier than my current Buckmaster scope (20.8oz vs 14oz), but I am switching from. Burris PEPR mount (8.5oz) to an Aero Precision Ultralight (3.1oz), so the weight of the total packages should come out very close to the same. No...

I considered that scope for the reasons you mentioned, but they lack adjustable parrallax (except the 6-18x model) and the EXT reticle is not inspiring to me for a target scope; it'd be fine on a plain deer rifle, similar to the Nikon BDC I'm used to, but lacks the versatility I'd like for this...

You are correct. I was looking at the 4.5-14x.

I love the ERB reticle on that Viper PST, but that scope weighs 22.4 ounces lol. My rifle weighs 8.5lbs already with the Buckmaster on it... I have to think long and hard before I add another half pound to that. I search and find opinions in all directions of Viper glass vs Monarch glass vs VX3...

I will soon have $500 in gift cards to cabelas (collecting bonus cards from stuff at work). The best scope I currently own is a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x, which works fine for most of my hunting and shooting, but lacks the color and brightness I desire in low light hunting applications, and lacks...

Barrel and reloading supplies availability is a big one, although I have to point out that once you have both of the above, due to other AR parts compatibility, you are independent of the original cartridge designer completely. No special bolts, magazines, bullets, cases, etc. As far as not...

The country of origin listed on many AKs is often referring to the original parts kit origin. Trunions, gas block, FSB, barrel... those are all critical (maybe not the FSB?) components that can have significant variations depending on origin. The gas piston, FCG, and furniture are all easily...

Thanks for all the replies. I've used many different targets over the years. I havrnt used it, but I like the idea of the one that gtscotty linked. I feel that I would go through quite a few targets when doing load development/testing, though. I recently asked my wife to make me a target to...

Many hunting rifles are used with scopes that max out at moderate levels of magnification (2-7 or 3-9). I have learned that the target used makes a big difference when shooting iron sights; is there a particular style of target that has proven more conducive to precision shooting with a scope...

If torqued to at least 30 ft lbs, the nut should not be able to back off regardless of gas tube. If it's loose enough that the gas tube is the only thing keeping it from unscrewing, you'll almost certainly have accuracy issues. There are an awful lot of handguards that use custom barrel nuts...

Does anyone keep spare parts for their AKs like they do for ARs? Spare bolt, extractor, fcg parts, etc? I do have some spares for my ARs, but not a lot. Unfortunately limited shooting funds, so I'm not likely to reach the useful life of any of my components anytime soon. I've only got 2.5 ARs...

A guy nearby has a Tula sks, didn't catch the exact year, matching numbers on everything. He is asking $500. After I left, I looked up some stuff to look for on SKS rifles, but clearly didn't know most of it before looking at the rifle. Doesn't look like a force-match on anything but maybe...

It's a pretty cool app already, can't wait to see it as you iterate. Any plans to open source? Now you've piqued my interest and I'd love to poke through code from a ballistic calculator. I may look around github later... One feature that you may consider adding is a view to spell out, for a...

Note that I have no experience with Shooter, but I've used Strelok free and some other free apps, plus regular internet ballistic apps a fair amount. I got the distinct feeling this app is tailored to long-range shooters, especially because the load page defaults to G7 drag and the current list...
