    Sig Sauer - KILO3000 BDX LASER RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS

    Vortex’s new Fury 5000’s On paper they look equal, but with Sigs added BDX communication to my Kestrel Id say its swaying me in Sigs direction. Im also interested in whether its a better option to go seperate binos like the Bushnell Forge 10x42’s and a solo RF as technology seems to be getting...

    Primer storage concerns

    I use a large plastic bin on a shelf. Keeps the air fairly constant temp and being in a closet it doesnt get major heat exposure from a vent or sunlight. Also if it does decide to go boom, the plastic bin wont become a frag grenade like a metal ammo can.

    Lot to lot velocity changes?

    Someone once told me that he called Hodgdon to ask about a variation like yours and they said their tolerances are 50fps on either end of thier posted speeds. So a potential variance of 100fps. Although doubtful many will see that kind if a difference, it is commonly known that large...

    Annealers, please throw your knowledge in. Thank you

    Some use washers, but I just bought a small section of copper pipe, and sawed it off to rough length, then filed it down to the exact height. Now I just unscrew, toss on the caliber specific collar, toss on the clamp and set my angle (which is super easy when not trying to keep your height set...

    Annealers, please throw your knowledge in. Thank you

    Id seriously consider spending less on your annealer if you dont already have a solid powder dispensing system. Id say for someone new to reloading and long range, the last piece of equipment you should be dumping $1K+ worth of cash on is an annealer. They're nice to have, but if you're using...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    Ok, likely a noob question but I cannot find it in my searching. Is there a difference in the Ballistics App between the Elite and the Sportsman? I have a Sportsman, and wondering if upgrading to the Elite os worth it. I only shoot two Calibers with this Kestrel and my target load doesnt...

    Bushnell Forge Binos

    Well they’re certainly not in the euro price range at all. And most of the $1K range binos from euro makers are from Japan. For $400 (10x’s) they fit along with the other China made optics out there. And to be fair, if the glass rivals optics 3x the price, then I dont see the benefit of going...

    40 Dead at New Zealand Mosques

    Thats actually exactly what he wants to happen. His plan was to have the Left push for strong gun control, in order to force the rights hand, thus sparking a civil war in the US, and ultimately leading to the expulsion of non whites from traditionally white countries.

    40 Dead at New Zealand Mosques

    Gun Laws aside, this is royally fucked. How this pos can do this without a care in the world is sickening. Wife and I just spent 2 months travelling NZ, and this is very shocking to see happen. Sad day indeed

    Chronograph Suggestions

    Honestly, I love my Sporter. No cans allowed for us Canucks, so thats a non issue, and it fits all the rifles I own without issue. Only complaint is I have had the odd error msg from the wire being coiled too much, but that was user error. Also its super small and lives in my range bag so I...

    Reloading Blocks

    I’ll third Sinclair’s HD blocks. Cheap, durable, hold cases without tipping over, and are white so its easy to see any spilled power. Only negative is they’re slippery as sin on a smooth poly’d wood surface. I just took some super glue and rubber anti skid pads, problem solved. I use 2 x .308...

    New Vortex Fury HD LRF Binos

    Im curious what the glass would be comparable to? Im looking for a good pair of Binos for hunting (Conquest, Trinovid, etc.) but also need a LRF. Im wondering if the glass on these would be good for hunting, or if going the route of Bushnell Forge and a Leica 2400 is a better option.

    Brass spring back question

    That is my understanding of the concept Hense why people recommend the Neck Turning Arbors vs Expander Mandrel in order to obtain 2 thou neck tension.

    New Vortex Fury HD LRF Binos

    Hot damn I was seriously considering a pair of Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42, and a seperate rangefinder, but this may have swayed me. Really want to get a set in hand to see how the glass is.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Love my mountain tactical bottom metal. For the price I feel its a worth while upgrade. While you’re at it m, look at their bolt release too. Way cheaper than buying the OEM Tikka and looks much better/stronger.

    Chargemaster Lite - overthrow issues?

    Mine does this as well. Going to try the straw trick here soon, but kinda chapped that the “new” dispenser tube hasnt fixed this issue. Also, Ive thought about programming to .1gr under and using my hand trickler to add the final .1

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Reticle Options

    So far Ive narrowed it down to either the Leupold Vx5HD with the Windplex or the Vortex Razor HD LH with HSR-4 reticle. Truthfully I would love Mil in order to keep all my platforms the same, but for a lightweight hunting build these are about the best I can find within my weight and price...
