    Micky Duck liked post by Cordite On thread : Accuracy at 100 vs 600 (example). Variations in accuracy at different ranges
    The answer is in your question, you were shooting for "groups" at 100 and "hits" at 575 yards.

    Military binos used to have a leather flap with a button hole to attach it to a coat button to prevent them flapping about, as in the nearer officer's case. Most instantly available system and I'm...

    C4 is equivalent to British Army P4 or PE-4, a plastic explosive mix of four different bang substances, mainly the British-invented RDX. I'd not eat any, but it should be safe to fry a small amount...

    The 7.62x39 lends itself to subsonic loads, it's actually like it's coming into its own due to its the traditional fast twist of barrels chambered for it, which is a quirk of history. It's the...
