    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    So, here is some additional data, which indicates that my initial measurements prompting this thread might have been erroneous in some way (maybe not zeroing out the mic, etc., etc.,?). I took twenty cases from totally unprepped through the reloading process, sans powder and primer. The purpose...

    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    Loaded everything I have done so far on a Lee auto-indexing turret press. So, yeah, single stage. Bullet seating pressure has always been minimal, and I chamfer and deburr each case neck. Has anyone ever heard of expander balls lengthening the headspace if there is not a proper amount of lube...

    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    Thanks, buff. All of that makes sense. My shell holder bumps up against the sizing die, however, so presumably I've been resizing them to the minimum possible size. Correct? I will double-check this, hopefully/possibly, in the coming week or so; I'd like to get to the bottom of this ASAP, which...

    Nonsensical Headspace Measurements on 223rem cases...??

    How would full-length sizing a case increase the headspace measurement on a .223 case, and charging/seating/crimping decrease the headspace measurement?? This weekend, I started taking headspace measurements on some 223 cases in my stockpile in various states on the way to being reloaded, in...

    Bushnell conx vs sig kilo 2200

    Sorry, John. Didn't see this post until the new one below popped up. Will definitely try to stabilize before shooting something small and far away again and see what difference it makes. Next question: does it indeed make that big of a difference to be stable if you're single-shooting and...

    Sig Sauer 2200 Real World Reviews

    Would you expect humidity to affect it at all? In humid conditions, I'm getting occasional returns of like 30yds when ranging objects that are hundreds of yards away. Got a couple today while messing with it at stoplights on the way home from work.

    Sig Sauer 2200 Real World Reviews

    No problem, John. Just putting the info out there. Could've been used error. Maybe not. Time and experimentation will tell, possibly. One thing I'm going to try is changing the batteries.

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    Definitely am not anywhere near writing it off yet. Those were pretty extreme conditions to ask it to work on anyway, especially when compared with my typical hunting conditions.

    Sig Sauer 2200 Real World Reviews

    Wanted to post up some information on my recent experience with looking for and finding a rangefinder for use when hunting deer at extended ranges (up to 800m). Made a few information-gathering posts, read as much as I could find on the internet about personal experiences with a couple of...

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    Update: ended up going with a Sig Kilo 2200MR and was doing some informal testing of it at the beach this weekend. So far, I'm a little skeptical about how it is going to perform on deer in the 700-800yd range. I was ranging mainly things like houses, water towers, water, grass hold, bushes...

    Yessir it does. Thanks allot.

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    Another thing holding me back on the Conx is that I'm not sold on the Kestrel Sportsman; I really don't feel the need to have ballistics calculators in 3 places (rangefinder, Kestrel, phone), and if I had to choose between the Sportsman and the Elite Kestrels, I'd go with the Elite.

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    That's great feedback, John. I really appreciate it; that is a lot of work to put into summarizing your experience when you're not getting paid for it. Just as an update, I'm either going to go with a [Kestrel 5k + (Leica 1600-R)/(Sig Kilo 2200)] or the Conx Combo. Not sure which. I could...

    Leica 1600-R/2000-B/Kilo 2200MR: Angle vs. True Horizontal Range? And other questions...

    2.3"-2.5" at 800m, you're saying? What App are you using? I've only looked at a couple of the free ones offered for Android and haven't purchased anything yet. I'm not sure that Strelok is able to use absolute/station pressure - when setting up the 'weather' in the free version, there are...
