I was a little surprised at the speed I ended up getting after barrel break in. I was hoping for 2850 so 2900 was nice to see. Not sure how long the barrel will last, but will replace it with a MOD BB Bartlein when it's done.

I'm currently using 230 gr ATips over 77.1 gr of H-1000. 30" barrel gives me 2900 FPS with no pressure signs at all. Just one data point tho.

Here's what Hornady has for 230 grain A-Tips if that helps:

I seem to have gotten very lucky with mine. My BIL won an RPRF in a raffle and didn't want it and sent it my way unfired. After reading a bunch of reviews I wasn't expecting too much in the way of accuracy. Put a scope on it and took it to the range today with a bunch of different ammo. Another...

I've only done the laser alignment at 100 yards, but it seems like the adjustments were fairly large. Adjusting the elevation at 100 I was in between clicks to get a parallel alignment. What does it look like at 1000 yards? I'd think you'd see quite a large laser movement per click when adjusting.

When does the wind and weather info get updated when paired with a Kestrel weather station? I have the Kestrel 5500 with a vane setup to feed wind and weather info into GeoBallistics. From the manual I see where you can update the wind info from within the GB app. Is there a way to pull updated...

Precision Reloading has 15% off on some primers. CCI 450 for $84. $80 if you buy 5.

The Powder System page was recently updated: To me it sounds like a shipping date in May/June for the first round of preorders since the estimate for the second round is late Summer.

First range trip, worked flawlessly. No issues with recoil. First 5 shots on the orange at 500 yards. Vortex solution given was 2.06 Mils up so dialed in 2.1. First shot was a little high. Dialed down to 2.0 and it started hammering. Wind was fairly high at 20 - 25 MPH so not too shabby!

Got the new KeepPower 16340 950 mAh battery in. It is a bit shorter than the Panasonic that came with the Impact 4000, but I still only get just over 1 thread of cap engagement with it. Turns out there is only about one thread of engagement even with no battery in the compartment. :rolleyes...

FYI on batteries. I tried the Orbtronic 800 mAh rechargeable battery which is 35.65 mm in length and it does sort of fit, but only has just under one thread of cap engagement. The Panasonic battery that came in the box is a bit better, but still only has a little more than one thread of...

The top video (F-Class John) on the product page should answer most if not all your questions. I don't want to sidetrack this any further out of respect for the OP's question. I'm not even sure he is interested in this product. There is another thread here that has most if not all the info on...

I don't think it matters. Mine usually throws 1 kernel under, but occasionally goes 1 over. The little bit it trickles when the powder is dropped is insignificant. I can set it to trickle slower near the end of the charge and it will almost always be .02 gr under, but I wanted to keep the speed.

It does.

Thing is the IP trickler is a proven performer. The IP powder dropper doesn't have to be super accurate just in the ballpark. What I'm really looking forward to is the trickler controller that will come with the IP dropper. From what is shown in the video previews it is accurate down to a single...
