Several places have done impulse testing on this subject. When comparing static weight to mercury, the results were that mercury and weight has the same impact on recoil velocity, but mercury doesn't dissipate most of the recoil energy. Static weight does equally. So, it isn't that the...

Do you mean Darwin?

Ooooh... Nice choice... A true classic, that one.

I missed the irons, my mistake. Seems those have become quite unpopular. However, for any CZ you can get a factory barrel with iron sights. https://shop.cz-usa.com/00305.html Isn't the exact answer you wanted, but it can be done on a new rifle. As well as additional barrel sets for...

They make 15 versions of the CZ457. https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-457-american/

I agree that it is tough to beat for the inexpensive stuff. I've just never gotten through 100 of them where my extreme spread wasn't over 90 fps. With SLR/X-Act or Biathalon it is more like 40 fps. I also now use Automatch or Wolf for hunting. Although, when it gets below 10 degrees, the...

How is your mistress the Ruger? And how is a picture of a new model the H&H? If your gonna post a pic, at least try and be clever... If you'd have put say Hedy Lamar as the H&H and then some modern flash in the pan, you'd have at least been clever. This just makes your joke even dumber...

Certainly about as purdy as they get

Slow down mate. I read and completely understood, was in agreement, and elaborated further. If I didn't convey that, my apologies. Particularly since some current manuals do surprisingly not always have the same load listed.

I also have a T1x that was my prior production comp gun. I'm at 2.05 LOS to bore height I'm at 1.9mil for 100, but at 1045fps with Lapua LR/SLR My 300 is 13.9mil It is reliable on a 4" circle at 300 without wind. If the lot is pretty good, and doesn't give me 1030s or 1060s it'll hold on a 2".

W760 & H414 are the same, as is H110 and W296, and so are HP38 and Win231. Many places have covered this and why lot to lot variations, slight formula changes, and age over time mean that EVERY time a new canister is opened up, you must work up from the safe charge weight. Most every...

Vudoo was originally a shop that fixed all the 40X, until they just started manufacturing them without the problems.

Vudoo and CZ seem to dominate PRS competition, and the Bergaras are oft seen as well. Anschutz owned smallbore for decades, but now have PRS chassis. For hunting models CZ, Bergara, and Tikka are great choices. All are capable of 300 yd competition accuracy. Possibly more important is...

100% with you on the first two sentences without reservation. I follow you logic, and understand your perspective on the second two. I don't really consider it as a matter of lower or higher. None of the black powder or cordite cartridges are really the same with smokeless powder, and they...
