Ultimate Sniper Package

I'm putting together a package for Law Enforcement or who ever wants to buy it. This package will include a tactical rifle with scope, backpack style rifle case, bi-pod, wind meter, spotting scope, binoculars, GPS, multi-tool, and laser range finder. Don't kid yourself, this package will not be cheap but I will try and make it as affordable as possible. The basic idea for this is so a person who is just starting out in this field or a Law Enforcement Department just starting with observer marksmen, can buy this package and run with it. There will be a few options that you the user can choose from such as bi-pods, scopes, and stocks. This package is not limited to just "sniper rifles." These packages can be used for hunting. With the backpack style rifle case it will be well suited for back country hunting.

I hope to start building rifles by the first of the year. As I build and get the different components in I will post pictures.

Check out Hornady's Lite Mag Ammo

Today I thought that I would share something that my brother told me about after he had tried it last hunting season. He told me what this lite mag ammo did out of his savage 270. Mind you that he has been hunting with this rifle for at least the last 15 years and using several different brands and types of bullets. Lets just say that he is sold on this ammo so I decided to look into it.

Looking at the numbers on paper this ammo is great. I have yet to shoot any of it but I really want to try some. Putting some numbers on paper for myself. I want to see how this ammo groups, the average spread in velocity, muzzle velocity and terminal ballistics. I would also like to try it out on a ballistics gel block and compare it to other bullets. Sounds like a lot of time at the range but I really don't mind.

All right here are some numbers for the 308 win Hornady Lite Mag ammo A-Max bullet.
.308 Win., 150 gr. SST
Velocity(fps)/Energy(ft-lbs)
Muzzle--------100 yd------200 yd------300 yd------400 yd------500 yd
3000/2997 2772/2558 2555/2173 2348/1836 2151/1540 1963/1283
Trajectory (inches)
Muzzle-100 yd-200 yd-300 yd-400 yd-500 yd
-1.50 1.50 0.00 -6.90 -20.00 -40.70

Now for the 7mm-08 Rem. Hornady Lite Mag ammo
7MM-08 Rem., 139 gr. SST
Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)
Muzzle--------100 yd------200 yd------300 yd------400 yd------500 yd
3000/2777 2804/2427 2617/2113 2437/1833 2265/1583 2099/1360

Muzzle-100 yd-200 yd-300 yd-400 yd-500 yd
-1.50 1.50 0.00 -6.50 -19.00 -38.20

Now these are the factory numbers taken right from the factory website. This ammo better be good for the $40 a box you'll pay for it. Hey, if it works and works well, why not?
