Hey, I'm getting a Beretta A400 Xtreme+ this weekend as my all around shotgun. I plan to do 90% clay and 10% hunting. Is there a recommendation to "break it in" or should I just start experimenting with shot size, payload, and velocities until I find the best option?
Hi, all.
I'm looking to buy a new .22LR rifle and I keep going back and forth between the CZ457, Tikka Tx1 and the new Savage 110 RF. I want a platform I can start on a decent budget, but can allow me to grow when I need to.
For glass I am leaning towards the Vortex Venom 3-15x44 FFP EBR-7C (MRAD) Reticle
I asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and as expected each went for a different one. So I figured I'll ask the experts.
I'll appreciate opinions.
I have tried several ballistics apps and there are really good ones out there. But IMO a bit too complicated for a simple DOPE. So, I have build one really straight forward. It is still in beta and I know it is missing a lot of details. It works only for Android, I optimized it for my phone (Samsung Fold 6), it only uses metric units, except for velocity (fps), and it is all in MRAD. I can add configuration settings later. I attached a screenshot of the main page.
It is designed to provide corrections for drop and windage based on your distance, rifle, load, and weather conditions.
You can add, edit, or delete your rifles with scope height and zero distance. Same with ammo with velocity, weight, BC, etc. It automatically checks for weather, wind, wind direction and barometric pressure based on your location, or you can input location or override any parameter. It will allow you to verify the drop and permanently store it.
Anyway, In order to publish it in the Play Store, I need a "test run" with at least 12 volunteers. If anybody is interested in participating and providing feedback, please let me know by sending me a DM with your email address.
Thank you!
