Longrange blog 225: Hornady 4 DoF solver

You get better and better in your films. Very pleasant to watch.

[@THLR]

Thanks for that Leszek. Norma gave me some ammunition and that freed up sufficient time from the reloading bench so I could sit down and do some actual reading/ learning about filmmaking and the freed up money went straight to external microphones.

[@forestalfrank1074]

It appears the sound is much better. The video feels much more alive. Very nice.

[@THLR]

Forestal Frank Thanks, the microphones and external sound recorder has paid off then.

Coffee was not there...changing to soft drinks?, scenery very pleasant and relaxing

[@THLR]

I think changing to sugar drinks on a permanent basis would be disastrous to my health. Yes, the summers can be nice here.

[@ericrumpel3105]

no free lunch unfortunately, as recoil increases, so does cal./ bullet performance as the range gets longer. I truly love the 338L.M. performance in the wind.

[@THLR]

It's a great cartridge. It will be interesting to see how bullets will develop the next few years. The "traditional" gap between a good high bc 338 and smaller high bc 6,5/7/30 bullets have become smaller in 2017 with the new high Bc bullets. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Hello very Nice video ! Can you tell me What bag you have in video? Sorry for my english. I looking for something like your bag. Thanks for answer.

[@THLR]

Legion No problems. My backpack is Eberlestock Dragonfly.

[@LegionInfanterie]

Thank you!

[@nstscanada2103]

Nicely done.

[@THLR]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@cratxn1]

That round is hell on targets...looks like a lot of hot dog meat this hunting season. But you can probably forego the tracking dog.

[@THLR]

CR Rains Unfortunately I do not work with a dog anymore. A great loss to me. I'm sure you understand as a dog hunter.

[@johanneckmann4740]

Good shooting in a really nice location. What do you think of the Strelok ballistic calculator?

[@THLR]

I didn't like it due the access rights it wanted to my then-smartphone. But any reputable ballistic app seems to work fine, is more a matter of learning to use it properly and avoiding input error.

[@mehmetkaya7154]

Nice video Fast shot

[@THLR]

Mehmet Kaya Thanks. The film is edited for time, so the shots are not that fast.

[@MasonStormSunny]

Thomas, you are doing better and better with your mid-life-crisis rifle. I believe you've already built some confidence to think about hunting with your 300NM, where bullets must hit where they were intended to hit.

[@THLR]

Yes, it took a while but comfortable and confident with this rifle now. After attending the Midnight Sun Rifle Challenge match with it (stupid choice if you shoot for points) I have a firm grip of what I can and what I cannot do with this rifle/cartridge combo. In short, it gives me all the winddrift benefits of my old 338 LM but far more versatility as for use in my hunting rifle.

[@pvkjhilk8323]

im m ptretty sure when the lambs heard ketchup squirt out they said"baaaa"

[@THLR]

Pvk Jhilk There seems to be a lot of hostility towards ketchup today :D. The lambs occasionally enter the range and tend to shot everywhere when they do.

[@johncochran88]

I think I've asked this before but what country are you in again?

[@THLR]

John Cochran Norway

[@MrSweetwater2]

hey where can i get/ download the long range profinicey target? i can't download it on Vertebrae.no

[@THLR]

Here it is vertebrae.no/int/amfile/file/download/file_id/15/product_id/185/

[@MrSweetwater2]

THLR.NO thank you very much. Keep up the great work!

[@dora7846]

Umm, i have a question: How do you know that the distance is 100m or 300m etc.?

[@THLR]

On this range the distances to the target are shown printed on a plaque. Otherwise, I normally use a laser rangefinder.

[@dora7846]

THLR.NO thanks

[@lasserendal9640]

Hei Thomas. Hvilken tofot bruker du her?

[@THLR]

Lasse Rendal Norske RPS. Ikke fordu den er "best", men fordi den gjør jobben og det er endel trening å skifte tofot/ lære å skyte over den.

[@wolverinekut]

👍💯

[@THLR]

Thanks!

[@johnfrederikson2002]

Nice shooting but don't disparage us old farts with glasses. I represent that remark. Nice photo work and good sausages too. J.

[@THLR]

I have glasses too now, I know the feeling. Had to get new pairs yesterday...

[@juanjoseermakimix1728]

What magnification do you use at about 100 meters? 8?

[@THLR]

Juan jose Ermakimix I usually end up somewhere 10-15x when I shoot. I'm not particular about if, I just turn until I feel I see the target well enough.

[@m.l.3358]

;) hahahhaah old Fart with Glases... Hahahahha

[@THLR]

M. L. It is true in so many ways these days...

[@knieja37]

ketchup is ending, other than that, ok as usual!

[@THLR]

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, today has seen a rush of comments that KZbin hasn't displayed to me earlier.

[@THLR]

Darek What? Ketchup is the blood of life! :D Unfortunately we do not make as good sausages as Poland, so we must camoflague the junk we eat here.

[@knieja37]

THLR.NO Is it true, and how do you know the taste of Polish sausage? I hope not with the story

[@THLR]

One of my teachers in North Dakota was of Polish emigrants, they had very much kept the sausage tradition alive in their family. It opened my eyes to what sausages can be when done right.

[@jamiesteele698]

THLR.NO teacher in North Dakota??? Give us a bit more info..... did you live in the states??
