    AutoTrickler V4

    To be honest, there has not been a true “plug and play” unit that works for all. The Chargemaster was close but if you wanted faster times with minimal overthrows, you needed an insert and a program tweek. The AutoTricklers, all generations, have needed an adjustment or two, tilt and/or slide...

    AutoTrickler V4

    Too many users are of the “plug and play” mindset. The V4 app has the ability to allow the user to tailor their loads their speed vs accuracy needs. The first edition of the app was more difficult to “tune” and users were having to greatly reduce their speeds to avoid overthrows and had to fuss...

    Ingenuity Precision trickler

    Paul, Thank you for your post and explanation. It seems that with age comes patience; youth tend to want immediate gratification. I posted in this thread that “it gets here when it gets here” and stand by that statement. Too many seem to forget about products which require mods/updates to get...

    Tips For Getting Rounds on Target With A New Rifle / Shooter

    Bore sight and get on paper at 25 or 50 yards. Make adjustments until you are zeroed and then go to 50 or 100 yards. If you’re zeroed and on paper at the closer distances, you’ll be on paper at 100 and able to make the necessary adjustments to obtain a good zero. Another option for new shooters...

    Will accuracy be affected with barrel removal/reinstall?

    Accuracy should not change but you will need to check your zero after each swap.

    Best round that is cost effective to reload

    The 6.5 Creedmoor is probably your best choice based on the parameter of wanting something that will get you to 1000 yards. Will the smaller calibers mentioned get there…yes BUT, your shooting location and ground conditions at the target need to be heavily considered. Soil in the target area...

    AMP really worth the extra $$$$$$

    I did some testing, albeit they were small sample sizes, between an Annealeze, Bench Source and AMP and could not see any difference on the target or numbers, i.e. ES or SD, between the samples. Convenience comes at a cost. The AMP is expensive, easy to set up but is a single feed device...

    Question about twist rates and twist rate calculators

    If the rifle/bullet shoot well at the maximum yardage I want to shoot, I will use that load and calibrate the BC to match my dialed elevation AFTER I’ve calibrated by muzzle velocity out to 600-700 yards. Then I will calibrate the BC at 1000-1200 yards until numbers line up. Unfortunately many...

    Zero press versus Redding T-7 turret.

    The Zero offers a couple of options not available with the T-7 but…as far as the ability to load quality ammo, both will do the job well. Is the Zero worth the extra cost, depends whether you need, value and are willing to pay for the additional options. Personally, I loaded on a T-7 for...

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    The newer scopes have much better turrets compared to the scopes that first came out.

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    That’s what I thought would be the end result but that’s not the case. I only did it to one scope and while it works, I decided to just use “O” rings to hold the turrets up to prevent them from locking

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    Either. The turret can still move up and down but is engaged in both positions

    Help Interpreting DOPE

    You found your answer. I used 0.326 in Shooter and all but a couple lined up (those that varied were only by 0.1 mil).
