Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting The reason why the Audette is the greatest, never-improved upon Load Development Method

Speaking of Italian loafers.....

Getting pretty tight there!
Chambering and bullet used?

Can you post a pic of your ladder?

Kiss,find pressure and rock on. Hint.

On a new rifle,I'm done with "Load Development",before I even put bases on the receiver,let alone a scope. Seldom does that take more than (2) powder charges. Hint.

I've got 100's and 100's of spouts,keep GOOD notes and tend to pay attention,to that which matters. While rifles talk,nobody seems to listen. Hint.

Brass of repute,loaded in dies of repute,with propellant of repute,with primers of repute and projectiles of repute,will never not do sensational things,in a rifle of repute. Most mechanical woes,are base,rings and optics driven. Hint.

New rifle from last pass. .003" constriction,positive headspaced and a Smooch...outa' the fhuqking gate. Hint.








It simmered,as moly was laid down and is a Skookum platform. Hint..............

Always have, always will. Though the further out you get ES does start to matter if its horrible. But a good paper test tells more than a chrono ever will.

It’s A 77 mark ll that was a .300 Winchester that shot in the .3s throughout its life until I had a new barrel installed and rechambered it in 7 mm Remington Mag and rebedded. I’m shooting 180 vlds in front of retumbo at 2900 fps and have shot it out to a mile. The group is 1.266”s which puts it in the .3s as I saw at a hundred yards during the load work up and barrel break in.

So no Audette ladder as you posted?

Just having coffee this morning and that comment almost made me spit my coffee on the floor.....Lol

I would pay good money to see that as well.....Lol

Really, instead of all the arguing we should all meet up for a videoed event. We could have a spelling contest, a shooting contest, and cage fights for anyone who wants to do that! The video could be released for sale to the campfire to pay for the event and a cash reward for winners of each event. I think it would go viral

600 Yrds Ain't far, try 1000-1200, then a Mile. then break out the tape and start measuring Dicks. Rio7

Start at 400 to make everyone feel good, then 600, 800, 1000, 1300, 1500, and a mile.
I would make the mile just for fun and giggles.
If shooting steel, just make all the targets approximately 1 MOA in size for the distance being shot.
Up to 2-shots per target, with the 1st shot impact counting 2 points and if they hit it on the second attempt one point.
Beyond 1K give three shots, with first round impact being 3 points, 2nd round hit 2 points, etc...

8 and on can get snarky real quick depending on the conditions and or target size and or varied field shooting positions.
Depending on target size and conditions, even 600 can be humbling.
Steel is easier in the sense, you can see to correct easier (depending on how you set it up), however a large paper target...

If someone pulls out a comp rig for a 2-mile comp, obviously they would have an epic advantage, if they know their drops and are decent at reading conditions

Paper doesn't lie.

They could each shoot a 600 yard F-class match. The format wouldn't leave any room for creative interpretation and the results would be published by a 3rd party, the witnesses would impartial. None of these guys would clean the target.

It would be like a postal match with real verification.

We could call it the "Gynophobe Invitational"

True
TR or Open?
There are more 600 yard F-Class matches around than there are 1000 yard.
A 20 shot string does tend to tell you how good you are at reading conditions and how consistent your set-up is.
I have shot F-Class very little, and most of mine was at 1K. I also shot at 8 and 9 a few times.
I have never shot at 6 yet.
I keep trying to get Dan to go with me to some of the closer 600 yard matches, but we haven't done it yet.

Open would let them showcase their "knowledge" of cartridges too.

I predict Rick would take it. He's the only one among them that has allowed the hot light of competition shine on his shooting.

I can clean a 600 yard F-Class target with my 44 mag!

…if you wrap a scrubbie around it and use Pine Sol
