    ATS vs ACE muzzle brake

    I have a nitrided A419 Sidewinder. I put it in a pickle relish jar filled with Boretech C4. That goes in the ultrasonic filled with clean water. Run for 30 minutes. Rinse in hot water. Done. Comes out clean as a whistle with effectively zero effort.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any USPSA shooters here

    I didn't keep super accurate track of round count... but I made "A" on about 20k rounds, "M" on about double that, and GM on about double that (so, 80k-ish to GM, for me, give or take), but that belies all the dry fire work, etc, between D->A/M, and just the time. And I wasn't a dry fire over...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    It could potentially be fill - IIRC, the earlier TCS stocks had Double Dead as an option, whereas current ones, it's a standard feature. But, I don't know - all I know is my gun is ass heavy. Manners says the new rail can be up to 34oz with a full weight kit - mine would be at 30.4 with the rear...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    My Vudoo wears a 20" 1.25" contour Krieger, and sits in a TCS (in fact, it's the one I have that has the latest style rail and weights we've been discussing). It doesn't have any rear weights in it, and the rear pair of rail weights are removed, as well. Even with a bipod on it, it's still tail...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    100% agreed... I'm having a straight contour barrel spun up for mine shortly for that very reason...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    Gotta be a typo - @tmanners or @RobertB could confirm. But... doing some quick math... Aluminum is about .1 lbs per cu in (1.6 oz per cu in). Stainless is about .28 lbs per cu in (4.48 oz per cu in). I measured one of mine at roughly .4 cu in (1.2x1.2x.3, and round down for the corners and...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    Not sure the actual answer - but the A419 rail had their serrations, and those can cut bags - but who knows the real answer (other than the folks at Manners and maybe A419)

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    I don't think your weights are aluminum? They're stainless steel? (or, in the earlier version of the rail, coated carbon steel of some sort). There's been three different rails - one was an aluminum rail made by A419 and used A419's brass weights. In the same generation, you could order a steel...

    6 MM GT

    There's a metric shit ton of data here, Hornady publishes data for the cartridge, etc. It's not hard to find... I mean, basically, a psuedo-random charge of Varget or H4350 with any typical 6mm competition bullet, seated at a random jump... pretty much works, almost as well as BR/BRA/Dasher 🤷‍♂️

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    I run a similar setup, but in 6GT. I'd be willing to bet the rig is still ass heavy if you put it on a cattle gate pole or something (mine is, although it balances on a bag on a wider prop - 2x4 or whatever). I have to have the bipod for that balance, though. Planning to rebarrel it with a 1.25"...

    Seriously dumb question - is there a way to change the bluetooth access pin in the Kestrel? I can turn Bluetooth off and on, and select the mode, but can't seem to change the PIN...

    6gt

    I haven't tested regular small rifle primers in GT - but I did in SRP Creed brass while doing a primer test. CCI 400s and Federal 205s both performed pretty well vs 450 and BR4. They weren't quite as consistent (SD was 1-2 points higher with them), but that's really about all I noticed there. GT...

    I haven't blown you guys off - work got nutty the past few weeks and haven't had time to sit down and call. I can't seem to reproduce the compass issue I was having in the past - so for the moment, I'll chalk it up to "Dave is a dumbass", and try to use it as intended? Basically, it was showing...

    PSA: All Creedmoors should be .25 Creedmoors

    Announced, what, last year? Still not available. Vaporware doesn't count, in my book.

    https://www.primalrights.com/library/articles/understanding-pressure Depending on your rifle, some cratering of the primer might just be normal - but primer flow, ejector swipes, hard bolt lift, etc, are generally reliable signs that you have issues.
