Here are some things that can throw off accuracy with a handgun, besides the short sight radius and the low mass that that results in high felt recoil:
High bore axes that magnify the effects of felt recoil; the fact that the sights reciprocate with the action of the slide (on handguns that this affects) and jerky actions like direct blowback.
These, and other things, all make it hard to...
Anyone familiar with the infamous CheyTac M200 Intervention sniper rifle will also necessarily be familiar with the two cartridges paired with it, the .408 and .375 CT.
The latter is one of the best ELR cartridges ever developed, and in many ways outperforms other alternatives like .50 BMG and .338 Lapua, despite their prevalence.
Here’s what you should know. ...
Accuracy International makes some of the best extreme long-range and precision rifles currently available today. Among the best of these is the AXSR Multi-Caliber platform, which is chambered in one of several excellent ELR cartridges such as .300 NM and .300 WM.
But there are other AI rifles such as the AT-X that are available in more common calibers such as .308 Winchester, which begs the...
You don’t need training to hit a can at 25 yards with a rimfire over iron sights. At least, you shouldn’t. Most people can pick that up intuitively.
Sending three rounds through the same hole at 100 yards? Even with a scoped rifle that shoots sub-MOA, that’s no joke. Not every shooter accomplishes that feat in a lifetime. Many never send two rounds through a single hole,...
Two of the best extreme long-range (ELR) cartridges ever developed, and loaded with “Balanced Flight Projectiles” that are CNC-machined, exhibit peerless radial symmetry, and stay out of the transonic zone for longer, both .375 and .408 CheyTac (infamous for their pairing with the CheyTac M200 Intervention sniper rifle) offer slightly different ballistic performance, despite their...
There isn’t a single thing that makes or breaks a good extreme long-range rifle (or an ELR) rifle. There are however a few things you can look for to help you narrow down your options. This post will go over just a few of those.
The Right Chambering
Believe it or not the cartridge is where you should start. That will determine if the rifle is really suitable as an extreme long-range...
It is the case that .408 and .375 CT are cousins, but they are certainly not the same, despite the fact that each is, in its own way, ideal for extreme long-range (ELR) shooting. That being said, here are some of the ways that these two cartridges differ.
