Well, that gives an idea of what I am asking. I see a number of claims that so and so bonds to the metal, makes it slicker than whale sh**, etc. so that nothing sticks, no copper buildup, no fouling, etc. Makes me want to wear hip waders to just read the ads.
I understand throat erosion is caused from combustion gasses and partially burned powder wearing away the metal in the throat. I am just looking for something that will really help reduce friction, increase velocity, and attract purty babes. LOL!
Miltech-1 is one of a number of high tech lubes that have come out in the last few years. My question is: Is there one that really protects the barrel from excessive wear and metal fouling? I don't want to waste a bunch of bucks on crap that don't hold up to the claims.
I wonder if he may have been refering to the clicks on his scope. 35 clicks up would be approximately 8 inches in elevation and 56 clicks left would be about 14 inches left. Now that sounds more like it.
I think you are on the right track. Just forgot 1 step.The shot was just over 1/2 mile. 1/2 mile is 1760 yards. Lets call it 1800 yards to KISS. 1/4 MOA / click, then 35 clicks would be (35/4)x18 =157.5 inches, or 13 1/8 feet drift.
Yes, it was. I am also too young to have been issued one. (only 47) However, I was stationed with a Vet from Korea who kept a few for history. He even opened one and framed the contents. Had it hanging in his office.
OUCH! is right! I now know why that generation is refered to as REAL MEN!
