I think CDignition meant to make sure to be on the mark at 100 before slinging lead at longer distances. Zeroing at longer ranges can be frustrating enough even with a good 100 yd zero. Maarten

You should be able to find out alot about distance shooting here www.snipershide.com Maarten

What distances do you plan on shooting it at? If you don't plan on shooting anything within 500 yds I would zero, for 500 and then use your target turrets to dail in your dope for further shots, or use the mil dots to holdover. Even if you think you might engage anything under 500 you can...

Happy Birthday and Semper Fi. I will by joining your ranks soon. Maarten

William P., You mention that the Force Recon guys aren't too happy these days. Could you explain that, maybe PM me so as not to hijack the thread? My contract is for infantry and I am hoping to be able to qualify for Recon and hopefully get into Force Recon down the road. Regards...

Hacker15E, I have no experience what so ever. As I said, I am still in the DEP. The only experience I have is that of sitting around for over a year waiting to sign, and now sitting around taking classes that I have already taken and sitting in study halls. I feel like I am waisting my...

bogie ***? How would you know that you don't learn any "usefull skills" in the USMC. I probably sound like a recruiter, but they do have many exellent programs to help you further your education. Also, there are many MOS's in which you learn great technical skills. The Marine Corps is...

Congratulations in wanting to join the Corps man. I joined Sep. 30th on my 17th birthday. I went to my first DEP function over a year ago and had been waiting to sign ever since. My parents don't really like it but they understand it is what I want to do. Also I have all my highschool...

I shot my deer last year with a 175gr SMK shot out of my .308 with a mere 2700 fps of mv. The animal was standing 325yds away and the MK expanded nicely and blew a 3" exit hole in the opposing ribs. I have no experience with the scenar and as almost the whole nose is hollow on those bullets I...

For that price I would jump all over the USP9. I have a USP45 and love it, however you should handle as many pistols as you can before you make your decision. Get one with a solid reputation and make sure it feels right when you hold it. Regards, Maarten

USP45, no compromize. Regards, Maarten

Here's my 10FP .308 in homemade desert digital. Picture isn't all that great, sorry. Regards, Maarten

And I thought the glock was fugly

I use 6.0 gr of Universal with both 230gr FMJ and hornady XTP. In my USP45F I think they're going about 850 ish. Regards, Maarten

Sunray sir, I know my loads are over max. I worked up to them in small increments to make sure I didn't blow myself up. However, since I would shoot 4 shot groups I didn't have any feeding problems. I have 2 in-depth manuals and several small booklets from powder manufacturers. The load is...
