    Kestrel 5700 Elite Firmware

    No joy. Tried airplane mode, regular mode, factory reset, clearing cache. Everything short of a rain dance I could think of. Not really shocked since they never really fixed the battery level thing or changing from imperial to metric during update bugs.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite Firmware

    I'm on my 3rd try today. Seeing if clearing app cache matters.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite Firmware

    Having this same issue for a while now. Tried numerous different ways. To my recollection, it's been doing it for almost a year. That's a long ass time to be working on a known issue.

    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    Been reading some of this thread with amusement and was curious... You posted this in February so what decision did you make?

    Visited Dead Zero Shooting Park

    Moved to this area 2 yrs ago and just got a membership last week. Interestingly enough, I find myself missing the "no rules" of a PRS type facility. ( Don't misinterpret that statement, You know exactly what I mean when compared to NRA type events) It's a very nice facility, and staff is very...

    Seating Pressure / Neck Tension

    I'd probably first see if a mandrel pass either makes it go away...or not. It will likely take a brass problem off the table.

    Zero press

    And it's beefy enough to still see what you're doing under NV. How could you not love it?

    Zero press

    For me I wasn't looking for better ammo so much a a better way to make it. Loading 2 different calibers with single stage precision is a major hassle. You can switch operations in under a minute and the turret locks so tight it's like a part of the body. I NEVER touch my dies once set up...

    Trouble finding the lands two different methods with wildly different results²

    Not my theory. One of the top PRS gunsmiths in the country showed me in person how this happens with the SAAMI blueprint sitting on the bench. It doesn't have to be crooked. Normal bullet diameter runout variation can cause it in a tight chamber. Hornady 140s do it in mine. They shoot...

    Trouble finding the lands two different methods with wildly different results²

    Depending on your chamber, your wildly different measurements suggested by the short measurement... you're likely touching the start of the freebore diameter, not the lands. Push the bullet past that point (wiggle it) and you'll feel it jump forward and stop again. That 2nd stop is the lands...

    That's like strutting through Ethiopia waving around a chicken sammich.
