    Sig Rattler 300BLK PDW

    I like mine, but I do not shoot it with a suppressor, I found that when I put my SDN6 on it the gun felt front heavy unbalanced and a bit awkward. So I put the flash suppressor back on. I do have a 9" AAC 300 black that feels right with the suppressor. I am having an issue with the trigger...

    Precision loading with a Dillon 650...Who’s done it?

    I do it but the powder throw is the weak link of the 650 when using extruded powders like varget, RL 16 or IMR4064. No matter what it will not throw consistent charges. I ended up using a powder funnel on my tool head and weighing each charge with a chargemaster, then dumping it in the powder...

    Kestrel 5700 Elite Temp

    If you do not enter different velocities in the temperature table the software always assumes the one entered muzzle velocity you used when you zeroed and crooned the rifled the 1st time. It does not extrapolate different velocities unless you use the table

    Range Report First Real OCW Test

    I would choose 22.7 and once you shoot a couple groups then you can decide if you want to play with seating depth. I see you mentioned group size in case you were unaware this process has nothing to do with group size it is the location of point of impact

    GAP10 ShowEm Off Pics

    I would not bother with the 308 if you are going to limit the barrel length to 20" and you want to shoot 1000 yards. With a 20" or shorter barrel, it will be very difficult to get enough velocity out of your load to keep it supersonic at 1000 yards.

    Winchester primers vs. CCI-200 primers as indicator of pressure in 308/7.62

    Very helpful, it also gives me things to think about and be aware of for potential issues to look for with any brand of primer

    Winchester primers vs. CCI-200 primers as indicator of pressure in 308/7.62

    I'm like the OP trying to learn as much as I can about precision reloading, comments like this seem incomplete just saying something is junk without at least giving the reasoning even if it is subjective is not very helpful to someone like me that is trying to ramp up his knowledge. Can you give...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Norton Antivirus says that this file Profile loader is acting suspiciously as I try to extract the zip file and is recommending that I block it, its recommendation is based upon heuristics can you confirm that it is in fact safe to use?

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Wow, I got mine in the mail today my first thought was that maybe the box was something other than the 4500, it was so light. Once I opened the box it was the 4500 and this thing is unexpectedly small, or at least smaller than I expected, in fact my Galaxy S4 is larger. Bryan thanks for the...
