AI is neither. It’s database software with a fancy UI and lots of cheap storage.

The only thing it is good for is boosting stock values because everyone has bought into a buzzword… and is being fed a line of fear, uncertainty and doubt marketing…

If there is any wave coming it is that AI will crash and burn more spectacularly than most of the dot comms in 2000-2001… and take everyone’s over inflated investments in hyped companies… with it.

Real AI is far off and will not be software based…

Geez, he's already wearing a dress with that horrid print on it. Give him some slack. He'll get there.

These will work on any suppressor that takes a HUB.

It's not the most remarkable shot in the standard sense. It was only into a dirt pile about 20 yards away. But what made it such a monumental moment for me, was that it was the very first shot from a rifle I had designed from the ground up, and built fully by myself. It didn't blow up. About 150 shots later, it still hasn't blown up. I'm quite happy with the not blowing up part.

This may not be impressive to most on here, but for my first long range (actually more like mid range) kill was taken with a newly built 6.5x284 using a 140 Berger. Took a large doe at 343 yards that was slowly feeding towards me. Placed the shot right on the X, a cross between eyes and ear base.

Hello I have just bought the following:

Kestrel 5700 Elite Ballistics
Serial: 2826***
FW: 1.53
Boot: 1.01
BLE: 0.09
BAL: 72
HW: Rev 14F


When I connect it to my app (iPhone) the app advises I need to update to Version 1.55. I turn off the Privacy Pin and do the update - all seems to work, the kestrel restarts and the app says complete.

I then check the Kestrel device and it still shows as version 1.53

I have now done this process a total of 5 times even using my iPad instead of the phone, factory resetting the kestrel and anything else I thought might help.

Can any one please advise how best to update the software so it updates the Kestrel?

Ive logged two support cases and nothing and have also now emailed but im hoping to get better support from our community!!

Thanks

this sounds like another trap for the US and Trump. if the Ukes using these Germans weapons attack deep into Russia and Putin responds as said,it could drag us in not just as proxies. the neocons would do everything they could to get us into the hot war with Russia that they want.
sounds to me like the same game being played in ME by Israel trying to start a war with Iran and dragging us in there.
Trump needs to pull everything and everyone out of Ukraine.Europe and the ME.
of course,using our mil to protect this country,it's borders and interior won't make the MIC as much money as they want.

What are the current accuracy expectations from a custom rifle group-wise at
50 Yards
100 yards
200 yards
Anything past would be great but we know the wind will play a huge role past 200.

Click to expand...

Ten shot groups as a standard. Wind plays a role at 50, a huge role at 100 and more huge beyond. (At 100 a mere 1 mph cross wind will move a bullet about .35".)

At 50 a custom rifle should do sub-.300 (ctc) with good ammo and conditions accounted for.

At 100 a custom should do sub-.900 with good ammo under consistently favorable conditions. With wind unaccounted for all bets are off.

Everyone has given good advice.

Normally I would ask what does the target look like, but it seems you haven't gotten that far with your handloads.

I have gone to the effort of pulling my firing pin and ejector (when able to) and I have moved on from that. I just measure 5 fired cases now, and go from there. My measurements from incrementally sizing a case to get my bolt drop freely to just measuring 5 cases and subtracting. 002", is close enough for me.

I enjoy tinkering and did not consider it a waste of my time, but the target was never going to show a difference in my experience. Not that it matters, but I dabbled in some 600 yard benchrest, have some very nice accurate rifles built for benchrest, and unknown amounts of expensive reloading equipment. I just haven't found shoulder bump to be one of the deciding factors in extreme accuracy as long as you don't try to get silly.

That doesn't mean I over size my cases, I just don't consider .002" to .003" shoulder bump to matter to me. What matters to me is whether all cases chamber without any drama. Everyone one of my rifles has a FL sizing die set up for it because I hate money and am probably OCD where guns are involved....

That Deputy is a stupid piece of shit!!

If it is just a power supply, publish the specs--I could source my own. In fact, I already have a lab grade power supply that can be set to any out V/A power output.
