    I got mine via an email to modify my TCS order - I suspect you can call or email to get them?

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I'll call - prolly tomorrow, thank you. The "contrary to design" ... I mean, it's just a different way to enter the same number manually. Once you allow manual input of wind direction, it's only a question of how you allow it - but then, I don't have the design specs handy or know the background...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    Yeah, it's not a question of formatting or how to declare wind. I can declare wind in degrees - the problem there is that it's a relative angle. So, if I'm forgoing the Kestrel's internal compass (I know a lot of folks use it without issue - for me, it's been finicky at best, and I've had much...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    @Kestrel Ballistics - is there a way for a user to submit an enhancement request? Specifically, I'd really love the option to enter wind direction as a compass bearing, rather than a relative angle to target direction - and also to be able to enter/modify wind that way on the target card, as...

    Shoulder bump inconsistency

    I would suspect that's correct - I saw this with Lapua 6.5 brass on first firing - the shoulders were over a spread of .003-.004. I bumped the longest ones .002, and then rest fell where they fell. On 2nd firing, they were all pretty much the same - within .001 of one another.

    Capitol Armory is showing they still have outstanding applications from late May, even.

    Shoulder bump inconsistency

    At one point, I had three different Hornady .400 comparators together in one spot. Using the same comparator body and calipers, and "zero"ing the calipers out (it was a dial, so basically, just noting what measurement each showed with the caliper totally closed, and then subtracting that number...

    Shoulder bump inconsistency

    It was said above inside a couple posts - but I'm reposting it for clarity so it's easier to find: The comparator WILL NOT give you the "base to shoulder datum" number that you see on a reamer print or a cartridge spec diagram. It also will not give you a number that you can compare in an...

    I'm dumber than I look - that said... I bet Robert would hook you up on whatever you need/want, if it can be done :ROFLMAO:

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    As long as it hasn't shipped, they should be able to add to it - depending on the ask, anyway. Like, if you need to change finish or something, and the stock is already past that point in manufacturing, you might be too late, but adding additional items (weights, etc) should be doable. And...

    Suppressors Pouch for Area 419 Maverick w/ cover

    That's like a narrow Crown Royal bag... LOL. Looks like it'd fit - but I was hoping for MOLLE so I could afix it inside my drag bag or something.

    Suppressors Pouch for Area 419 Maverick w/ cover

    I need a suppressor pouch that will hold a Maverick (1.72" diameter) with a cover installed. The Cole-Tac pouch says it will only accommodate 1.6", and I don't see dimensions on the AG pouches (just length). Anyone got a line on one that's, say, 2"?

    Always deprime brass that you’re using for shoulder bump measurements!!! It ensures that you’re really measure the head and not a primer standing slightly proud or something.

    Patches clean but bore still smooth black

    It should not harm STAINLESS STEEL. If you use CLR on a carbon steel barrel (PLENTY of guns made with carbon steel barrels out there!) you will fuck it right up. The CLR will, in effect, pull the carbon out of the alloy, leaving with a barrel that's all pitted to hell. If the barrel is actually...

    Kestrel Elite - manually entering wind direction for target card

    Ah.... I see. And there's one trick - the wind direction you enter there is the WD for target A, not the wind bearing. Then it calculates out all the rest. That's a big help - gets me most of the way to where I'd hoped! Thank you! So, workflow becomes - input each target range and DoF. Go into...
