RE: Omega / Nosler Range Report
Regarding the Ten Laws:
It's an hour and twenty-minute drive to my hunting lease where we have a rifle range and shooting bench set-up.
I got to thinking about what might be appropriatelaws one day on the drive home from "one of those" [:@]range sessions, and wrote them up when I got home. I have found them to hold true. If you shoot enough, I believe you will also.

Well! now that you mention Renegades.... I do have one Renegade barrel left and it does not have a home - so I guess I do need another Rene stock - should start looking - really I should I have an odd number of Renegades - if I were to get another stock I would have an even number and that is always better than odd...
I wonder if ebay will still carry stocks - now that hey have changed their policies.....

Cayugad
Thanks for the list.
Semisane
So you're the one responsible![:@]
They do hold true.....unfortuneately
Chapman
Mine is with a 153 yd zero. With a MPBR of 200 using the 6 inch kill zone
Sabotloader
Our elevation here is 472 feet.
The rifle has a synthetic stock.
The 458's are in the mail someplace. I was using the .451's.
Shooting over the chrony at 100 yds tends to make you focus just that little bit more.I read in Chuck Hawks that you can get a true BC by doing that and I was currious to confirm the numbers. I'll see if I can find that article and post the formula.
I think I'll stick with using Nosler's numbers.

Question #2 - which stock do you have on your Omega? the laminated wood or the synthetic? If it is the synthetic then the warming barrel and stock pressure can/will move the POI... but there is a simple fix.

Sabotloader,
What would that simple fix be?

Now this is going to seem like a loaded question but it isn't and there is a reason for it... Are you married? If you are you might have the fix in your kitchen...
I'll take mine down and get some pictures of what I have done with the synthetic stock and post them. They are posted someplace on here as we went through this several-several months ago - but I would never find them now....
