The Everyday Sniper Episode 249: Heavy Bullet vs Light Practical Application
In this episode, I have two main topics for discussion. Heavy bullets vs Light bullets and Mils vs Moa article on the new Sniper's Hide.
This week I was able to go out and shoot two loads from the same source, one using a 140gr ELDM and the other using a 130gr Prime Load. Both loaded by Spark Ammunition. I had great conditions to compare the two loads, one, the heavy 140gr going 2650fps vs the 130gr going 2835. This shows how the two perform at a distance when most people try to default to the heaviest load possible. The lighter load was better, less drop, less wind because the speeds were up. Speed wins in our sport so we want to push this faster.
Next, this week we upgraded the Sniper's Hide website. These were the changes I have been hoping to make for ages. The new forum and frontpage are uniform and now use a single login. This was my ideal set up when thinking about it.
So with the upgrades, my first article is a deep dive into Mils vs TMOA vs SMOA. This question just won't go away, so I wanted to do a complete article on the subject. Right now I have six pages of details and it's not stopping from there. I still have images to upload and to refine the text. But it's comprehensive.
This is the key, I want you to be a smarter consumer. I am not looking to sell you something, I am merely offering up information, what you do with that is up to you.
Thanks for listening, thanks for commenting and thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.
