Need Garmin 901 help

Just bought a 901. I see there is intended connectivity with the Xero C1. I've tried linking the two but haven't been successful. Just updated this morning to 2.1 and haven't tried to link the two again, yet. But even so, i haven't found any info on what functionality the Zero provides to the 901. Does anyone use their Xero with the 901?
I don't. I just get velocities and enter them into the gun profiles in the Garmin connect app and then upload to the 901. I like that better because the gun profile is always current and I don't have to worry about a different velocity stored on the 901 that isn't in the app profile.

6 Dasher with 109gr Berger Hybrids

28" 1/7.5 Ace Brand New
Alpha Virgin Brass tumbled in corn cub/Chamfer/Deburr
Berger 109/CCI450
(0.060) off the lands 1.787 Ogive/2.392 ish COAL
30.0 Varget 2,710FPS Ave 12 rds
30.5 Varget 2,743FPS Ave 12 rds
31.0 Varget 2,793FPS Ave 12rds

These were round 21-57 on the barrel. 31.0 gr should go up to 2,825 by 150-200 rds. All grouped <0.5 for 6 shot groups. I'll probably try 31.5 next time but as of now i think 31.0 will work.

Nx8 2.5-20 vs mk 5 3.6-18?

I have NX8s on many platforms. Size, weight, quality, resale value. May not have illum on the MK5 depending on model. Bonus of MK5 is center dot in some of the reticles for a little more focused shooting and may weigh less (oz are lbs) if backcountry hunting. If you're back east and everything is going to be inside 300m you could definitely come down in magnification. Here in the west, many hunting with 5-25s or better. Longer shots happen.

Turds. all of them. Where is that little dog barking meme? Oh Kash is gonna dismantle the alphabet "brick by Brick" yea yea...... oh and Bondi is a woman and a FL woman at that..... sooooooooo, we are getting about what one should expect out of that office. Bongino's lame ass response is so infuriating. This is the same line the American people have been fed for years. "we are doing something, just trust us" oh, right like the "trust the process? mmhmmm, useless the lot of them. What 80 days in and ZERO bad actors in cuffs or being charged? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: DOJ completely useless grifters.

How did you find that particular guy?
He came once and he throughly plained everything. He told me what was wrong and told me 3 ways to fix the problem and why he chose a given option..U could call it informed consent. Asked for him every time the last 5 years.
My custom builder also exclusively uses this company.

Rifle Scopes New bushnell XRS3 has illumination!!

I had the same issue, getting my account set back up.. Took a good while to get an email response. I could never get anyone on the phone.

Exactly. I called multiple times and never could get anyone. No matter the time I called I always got a recording saying they were not taking calls. Sent multiple emails and messages through the site and finally got an email back 3 months or so later. Not good and wouldn’t be happy if I was having a scope issue and got that treatment.

Ludicrous speed

Tikka T3x ctr in 308 win 168 smk
Varget powder 37.5 gr hornady chart says 2200fps
My speed 2670
What's up?
What length barrel are you using? Is the Hornady data base on a 24" barrel?

That low speed on Hornady chart looks to me like it's based on a 20" barrel??? And that'd be inline with my Varget data. Out of my 26" barrel I'd get ~2,393 using 37.5 grs, but typically, when I run Varget, I'm using 42.2 grs that'll give me 2,642 fps. It appears that your 37.5 grs is only filling your case to ~ 86% case capacity. Case fill that low just might be part of the reason for some higher velocity and might results in high ES's due to inconsistent ignition??? For sure, something isn't adding up??? 🤷‍♂️

Rifle Scopes New bushnell XRS3 has illumination!!

I had a XRS3 6-36 and wasn’t impressed at all. Ran it against a few other scopes and the glass was not up to par with others in the process range so I ended up selling it. It not having illumination as a negative for me too. Will be interesting to see what they upgraded on this new optic.

Also after it taking 3 months to get ahold of them to just fix my account after they changed their site their CS is in definite need of some work. Glad they have a new scope but not sure I would jump right in at this point.
