Extreme Long Range (ELR) Resources - Site Update

ELR Researcher

Gold $$ Contributor
A bit over one month since launch, after some 1500 hits (at most well under 100 of my own in the process of maintaining and expanding), and after a very small handful of suggestions, here’s a site update:

Added a navigation section at the top of each page

Added site-wide search capability

Rifles – up to 61 companies, added color coding for the major cartridges

Rifle Components – up to 16 action/receiver companies, 10 barrel companies, 8 brake companies, 19 scope/base/rings companies, 18 stock and bipod companies, and 7 trigger companies

Ammunition Components (major work here) – up to 18 brass companies (added color coding for the major cartridges), up to 19 bullet/projectile companies (plus four matrixes going down to the company, product name, weight, model number, and link for 338, 375, 408, 416, 458, and 510 calibers, all in PDF format), up to 7 powder companies, and up to 7 primer companies

Reloading Equipment - up to 61 companies/items

Miscellaneous products – up to 21 companies/items

Gunsmiths – up to 22 companies

Ranges – up to 25

Retailers/E-tailers – up to 22

Training section added – 21 companies

Cartridges – up to 27 (with 3 chamber reamers drawings, and many more to come, courtesy of Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge (http://www.pacifictoolandgauge.com/reamers2.htm), plus CIP and SAAMI drawing links in the Reloading Equipment/Aids section)

Minimal expansion in Associations and Clubs, Information Sites and Forums, Legal, and Pubs, Articles, and Photos.

News section added – this update being the first post. I expect to add more interesting posts shortly and then do a weekly update based on what I can glean from the 100s of linked sites.

Oh…and I added the obligatory “Privacy” and “Terms of Use” page.

If you haven’t visited my site yet, please do so (please enter through the home page so we can all see the counter increment). I think you’ll find it to be an excellent start at exactly what it is intended to be, a resource for the ELR shooting community.

Finally, I really need feedback on what I’ve missed, what I’ve gotten wrong, and how the site can be improved to serve you. It’s a non-commercial site. It will get better faster with your help.

I like your site alot and have added it to my favorites list for quick references.
You can add cdi-precision for bottom metal and magazines.Also you could add Twisted Barrel for those looking to make there barrels and actions a little more new-tech.

Hi Lynn:

Thanks for the suggestions but both of those product areas/categories are below the level of detail I'm going to address on my site - at least for now.

YES, the Twisted Barrel site has some very slick looking "eye candy". The closest I'll get to that is the "coating" products/processes in Rifle Components/Misc.

As for bottom metal and mags - oh so many folks out there that produce that stuff. IMHO, the action/receiver company and your gunsmith are where you start lining up such pieces - IF they are not already supplied. That noted, this is one area I may add in the future.

Hope you understand.
