Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

I went out on Saturday morning, garmin on one side Athlon on the other. Athlon was consistently 5-15 FPS faster than the garmin. No wild readings, they tracked. but the Athlon was consistently slightly higher.

Which firmware version are you running?

In my first 2 days operating 2 different Athlons independently as well as together, I was seeing ~20fps high offset compared to 2 Garmins and an LX. Upon calling Athlon the next day, they mentioned that doing a "hard reset" would likely fix that issue, and then messaged me later that updating the firmware may also help. Ultimately, mine corrected itself after that event, and as you can see in my dataset above, it tracked within the same expected velocity with my other units.

Bulletfeeder v2: Revisiting Precision Loading on Dillon

This was the bushing that I made and use. Works for 6mm, 25 cal, and 6.5

My solution is a little clunkier but not as rigid mounting to the die.

Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

Just a friendly game of golf. We can fix that guys right hook a bit.

My older brother actually did a ninth grade science project doing that exact thing. Public school and all in the early ‘70s. Got an A.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

I would postulate that U.S. SF is active there and has been for some time. U.S. biolabs as well. Massive money laundering. Ukraine is a honey pot of corruption for the west.
Bro even the russian troll farms completely gave up on the biolab narrative after like a month and move to other talking points
But if you're talking about the evil HATO mercenary biolab supersoldats fighting for nazi ukraine regime, I'm on board, Ive seen the photos, here I'll share this one with you (top secret please dont share)

Elcan Help

Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it. What you are talking about doing is essentially mucking with what is the erector assembly as it were, on an Elcan.

I'm sure you're aware that the Elcan's base is spring loaded. You can lift up on the rear end of the scope body to give you a little room. I'd drizzle some cleaner in there, let it soak and then blow it out with air. Elcan's can take a lot more abuse than hunting in Texas.

As far as applying compressed air goes, I wouldn't go shooting a high pressure stream of air at any sealed seams.

Personally, I'd just dunk the whole thing in a bucket with Dawn dish detergent, work the spring action on the body a few times and rinse it off.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

You have failed to rebut my argument that the worst thing Ukraine could have done is give Russia a 9/11.
Wouldn't a 9/11 be flying jet liners into civilian skyscrapers? I thought the zigger lovers in here equated destroying their strategic to pearl harbor? But wouldn't that be full scale bombing a naval/air base and killing +2400 troops while not currently engaged in a hot war? Or are we just throwing out memorable bad things? Is the attack on the Kerch bridge the holocaust of bombings?

Ukraine war Bullshit.

the fact that the deep state spent hundreds of millions to convince us that russia was the enemy leads me to the conclusion that they are not.

I think if folks read a little more about Catherine the Great, the Pale of Settlement, and similar tales from the other 108 countries - they'd realize that while Russia may not be our friend per se, we do share some common problems; and if we worked together some of those problems could be exposed and maybe solved.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Are you saying Russia is "the Bear" like England is "the Lion" and we are "the Eagle?"

Russia has no say in what happens to them, or what people do to them. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

The expression "poking the bear" is not relevant. Why not? Its exactly what Ukraine just did. If someone in Finland sneezes or Estonia farts, their whole huge country might shatter and fragment into a dozen oligarch controlled fiefdoms- all claiming no responsibility for the disastarous SMO, or any connection to the Soviets. WTF does this sentence even mean or have to do with the poking the bear?

Russia needs to:

1) Withdraw to their own borders. Why should they, they are currently winning.
2) Worry about securing those borders (duh) before they try to capture any pounded mud, anywhere. See #1.
3) Reform their government (Commie Purge- Putin gets raped with a knife, all the Oligarchs who swindled the people following the nominal collapse back in the 90s get executed) Ukraine can't currently force Russia to take one step backwards, how will you ever decide who governs them?
4) Form a BRAND NEW CULTURE.
5) Start building a normal, modern, human civilization that serves their own people instead of waking up every day in a post-Communist, Soviet hellstate and blaming all their problems on the "deeply unfair" Western-dominated rules-based international order. Communism has consequences, and their people have lived them. At the same time, Russia is no longer a communist threat and has been unfairly treated as one for decades now.

Cry your eyes out that those Jav's didn't get fired into old hulks rusting in the impact area, but got used for the very purpose they were invented and manufactured for- putting Rooskie Animals in the dirt. They were made to keep America safe and you're lucky we share our toys.

I hope you're ready to keep taking it DEEP, Komrade! Ahh, homosexual accusations, the hallmark of intelligence in an argument.

You are exposed as a complete idiot. (But not by me you did that a long time ago.) You have failed to rebut my argument that the worst thing Ukraine could have done is give Russia a 9/11. Because you know I'm right.

If you have anything at all intelligent to say on this subject I'd love to hear it. I'm not hanging around to find out though, I'll check back later. This could take awhile I figure.

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

What's so funny about people that can't hit the broad side of a barn and have never shot a PRS match telling a national champion that would give you the shirt off his back that he isn't reputable?
Hilarious isn’t it!! Shayne’s got more time behind a rifle than the vast majority of people and he’s shot literally every reputable brand on the planet it should speak volumes when a national champion takes time to say something is good.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

That's cool you believe in free speech, me too, but calling everyone who disagrees with you dumb/democrat/hitler/maga/antifa/nazi/privilaged etc. is a rather reductive use of free speech and doesn't help prove a point when you're capable of coherent thought and conversation.


A point I never argued


Russia could launch nukes, sure, to accomplish what exactly? Russia uses those exact model of bombers to lob cruise missiles from safe distances into civilian population centers. Valid targets, successful strike, russia cries about "muh nooks!" and zigger appologists pearl clutch while the US and every NATO member is better for having less pieces the opposing side has a chess board. What percent of military hardware and soldiers KIA/WIA constitutes a threat? What do you consider a threat? Does having one nuclear weapon make you a threat? I don't understand your point, and won't revert to ad hominem, even though you opened up with one, and immediately went into a strawman.



I like analogies too. This is more like the United States launching a blitzkrieg on mexico, aiming for regime change in Mexico City, but being beaten back to within 30 miles of the border after three years and losing 54 strategic bombers in Alaska, Washington and Maine in a single day to FPV drones piloted in Cancun.



Which war did the US lose because of a lack of political support, and not undefined, unrealistic and unachievable political objectives by military means? MCDP-1, Warfighting qoutes Carl von Clausewitz;

"The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes"

Establishing a beacon of feminism and democracy in Afghanistan was never going to happen, nor propping up a puppet government in South Vietnam.

You're also wrong to think I'm a Ukrainian, and after watching a non-NATO, neighboring country completely dismantle the image of the big iron bear to be a rotted corps of military mismanagement and kleptocracy I'm not convinced russia is a credible threat to anyone besides trying to bumrush Estonia and failing miserably at this point. They seem content throwing human lives into machine guns in true russian fashion though, so you have to give them credit for their consistency.
