“Why is the sky blue? Because God loves the Infantry”

The 9th annual International Sniper Competition was conducted at Ft Benning in October with a 31 team field including US Army Rangers, USMC Snipers, National Guardsmen, UK Snipers, several Law Enforcement teams and Special Operations as well as some others from around the world. A team from the USMC took first followed by a teams from Ft. Knox, Special Forces, and then 82nd Airborne.

For those of you that have not noticed, we have started making durable and high quality ballistic cards for various rounds. You can see them here:

We just added the Federal GMM and HSM 30-06 Springfield 168gr match loads and are getting ready to add a few more 30-06 loads and the HSM 308 168gr AMAX load.

The cards include range and wind data in both MOA and Mils as well as comeups between each range in both MOA and Mils. Something unique we put on the cards is a mil BDC chart as well. What this does is give you the range at which the mildots will be right on at if you were to zero at the provided range and then hold over for each dot. The idea came from there being so many scopes out there with mildots I figured I would go ahead and provide the holdover ranges for those dots.

I specifically am looking for feed back on these cards as well as which cartridge loadings to do next. I want to make these cards as useful and beneficial as possible so please let me know what you think. Email is probably best:
