Whats your BS Meter say to this??

[Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it was the barrels that were rifled, not the Minie balls themselves? I don't ever remember seeing a "rifled bullet".]

Back in the Civil War, some of the most accurate rifles in the Confederate arsenal were Whitworth target rifles, pressed into service for long-range sniping. The bullets for these were polygonal in cross section to match the polygonal rifling of the Whitworth's barrel. I guess these would qualify as "rifled bullets."
 
Hank, I remember reading something once about an intriguing bullet, known as the Paradox. I believe it fit the same description as the one you describe--don't remember the caliber.
 
I have a State Arms "Rebel" 50 BMG with a 36" walther SS heavy bull barrel. A 6" heavy duty fish gill MB. The twist rate is 1 in 15". I believe the ammo is Talon 647 gr. FMJ's and @ 600 yds. will get 4" to 6" three shot groups at best for me. The usual is roughly 1' with cheap surplus ammo. I may have to buy some competition/handloaded ammo to really test its accuracy. 2" @ 600 yds, I wouldn't be capable of making this group and I'm not sure if my rifle is either. I wish I could find out where that guy is buying his "guided bullets" from!! :D
 
Check out this post from Glocktalk, by PaleGreenHorse: "Simple...Sako TRG-S .338 lapua. 1000 meters all day. and 1/2 inch groups all day at 600 meters"
 
I checked out that thread, and noticed that he's stopped posting now that he's been called out. No surprise. My BS meter was off the charts after reading his multiple posts. I've never ever known guys with real skills to talk or act like that. Only poser mall-ninja types brag the way this guy does.
 
"Boorow, you want to carpool up to KY?"


Rabbit, you're on. Hey, but first let's swing by Techbrutes, place, pick up an extra $5,000.00 that we BOTH know is laying around somewhere and I can shoot my newly aquired M48A Yugo Mauser. :p

For those of you who don't know, I sold my shotgun and got a Mauser. I am soooooo good at judging speed, distance, windage, etc. that I can knock an eagle out of the air while he's diving for a salmon up to a 1,000 yards away. You see, I'm allowed to shoot eagles in the U.S. because I am on the anti-sniper, "anti-sniper" squad as long as I keep my Green Beret Undercover Sniper card on me. It doesn't have my picture on it and no I can't show it to you because then I would have to kill you. Seriously. :evil:
 
He's BAAAACK!

Well, sorta.

Rich reiterated the standing offer.

I'm cleaning out all my Compact Flash cards, and buying some more VHS tapes for my camcorder. Something says a road trip to Texas is in my near future, assuming our ForceRecon challenger follows through on Rich's offer. I need to stretch my 6.5-06's legs, I'm almost out of Shiner Bock, anyways...
 
You can stay at my place if you need a place to bunker, Gewehr. Shiner's on me.

Maybe I should consider checking and relubing my Garand in anticipation of a match, huh? :D

Regards,
Rabbit.
 
Ok, so who is the smart guy who opened another account and is trying to win the troll of the year award? I wish I had thought of it first. When are you going to come out of the closet?

Wouldn't it be funny if Oleg showed up to the challenge?
 
Should have For Entertainment Purposes Only! attached to his claim.
 
The website looks very interesting!

Mapquest thinks I can drive there in 7 hours.

SW can get me there and back for about $150.

Hmmmmmm...
 
Now there's haggling over the rules.

He says nothing allowed under .30 caliber. So I'm out with my 6.5mm, and Bogie's 6mm is now "officially" disqualified, too.

He doesn't like Rich's choice of range, the date, and the fact that Rich will name his shooter just before the match. He also wants multiple challengers, it's not worth his time to take just $5K from one individual... :scrutiny:
 
Man....I hope this guy accepts.

Yeah, that's gonna happen. Right about the time winged pigs start flying out of my ass.

Everybody needs to keep in mind that: this is beyond a shadow of a doubt some moron pulling everyone's leg and laughing about it. Don't get caught being played the fool by this guy.

Suggest that the parties pony up their 5k to a third party in advance. He probably has 5 gs laying around like he shoots these groups or maybe his Navy/Air Recon Walrus (a new tougher gorup) buddies can back his play.
 
I'm really surprised this has gone as far as it has.

Probably some 15-year-old with a copy of Soldier of Fortune that he's using for reference material.
 
He's gonna have to either accept or eat dirt at this point. Rich knows where he works and has said he won't let him just disappear.
