    Vector X rangefinder mapping capability

    Have you tried it with ATAK? _________________________ That took a bit of research. For starters, the VECSS app's documentation is essentially nothing. The app seems to default to Google Maps, which works well. The sparse "help" says that one can choose between BaseMap, Google Maps, OnX Hunt...

    Vector X rangefinder mapping capability

    The Vector X bino/rangefinder has an app from Vectronix: VECSS. Oddly the Google Play store said it wasn't compatible with my Android phone or tablet, although it only requires Android version 9. I was able to download the app as an APK file and sideload it onto both devices. The device is...

    Vectronic Vector X--quick review

    Addendum. As I read through the manual I wanted to try the Vectronix app that pairs with the Vector X (VECSS). However, the Google Play store said it wasn't compatible with any of my Android devices, including my Galaxy A11 phone (I'm cheap with phones, not laser rangefinders!). However, it only...

    Vectronic Vector X--quick review

    Stars aligned and I was fortunate to receive a Vectronic Vector X rangefinder this afternoon (thanks, Sendero_Man!). It's a very capable unit and will require some study but my major goal for this upgrade was to be able to range small targets at distance without the unit picking up the...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    I'm skeptical of this, but would appreciate a solid reference that supports this contention. I use titanium suppressors for several reason. Titanium will readily handle temperatures of 800-900 F, and the quenching process typically involve temps of 1200-1500 F...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    Good thoughts. The heat mirage from a hot can is annoying. I simply have two water bottles at the range--one for me, one for the suppressor. Take an old hand towel, fold it in quarters, and soak it with water. Slip your Nomex suppressor cover back and wrap the can with the wet towel. It will...

    Seekins PH2 + Arca rail questions

    Let me recommend the Salmon River Solutions ARCA/Pic rail. I bought a PH2 in 6.5 PRC this fall and wanted a Pic rail for my good bipods but also the ability to use an ARCA clamp on my tripod. The front mounting screw replaces the sling swivel stud. Just in front of the QD socket for sling...

    For the intermediate skilled reloader, what's the next best step?

    Read a basic text on statistical analysis. Not sexy, but you'll avoid the mirage of small sample sizes.

    Reloading Equipment AutoTrickler Panel Sets - V2, V3, V4 - Keep kernels off your pan!

    Thank you. I received my V3/419 set today. Everything is sized perfectly. This is an elegant solution to the one remaining gripe I had with my AT/Ingenuity Precision system. Although I could run H4350 with rarely ever getting a stray kernel, StaBall HD was not nearly so well behaved. This...

    Ingenuity Precision trickler

    Improved precision of measurement is often a good thing but we can end up pursuing inconsequential increments. I'd posted here in the past about scale precision with strain gauge and magnetic force restoration devices (search "Adventures in Metrology"). The A&D unit is excellent and when I test...

    Ingenuity Precision trickler

    Just came up from loading in the bunker. I'm using a V3 Autotrickler with the A&D scale and Ingenuity Precision trickler, and am utterly pleased. The units sit on a flat sheet of glass (old Photo frame) and are quite stable. The A&D scale reads very quickly and doesn't drift. Getting the IP...

    Range After Supersonic?

    It depends. Some bullets handle the transsonic region gracefully and some bullet will upset and become unpredictable. Even the rifling itself and bullet engraving can affect this transition.

    I'll Post This Here - Hornady's Podcast #50. I thought it was one of their best, but some reloaders might not like what they see....

    Carl Zant at Precision Rifle Blog already answered your hit percentage question: https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/04/15/how-much-does-group-size-matter/ Interestingly, Brian Litz has written some excellent material on how statistical analysis and sample size applies to shooting and load...
