    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    Ah, cool. Wasn't sure if it was rumors or if Kestrel had finally announced it. I haven't been keeping up with much out of SHOT today.

    Suppressors KGM R30 vs Area 419 Maverick.

    I'll add that I can tell a significant difference with my 6GT and my Maverick when using the extra baffle vs without. My Maverick/GT is right on the edge of hearing safe with the extra baffle, but at the cost of more felt recoil and more movement off target compared to without. I run it without...

    Silencer Shop News Update: ATF eForms Launch Imminent!

    No fucking kidding. I had a F4 go in and they ran my card less than a week before eFile was announced as coming back. I figure I will be lucky to have that can by next Christmas.

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    Same thing happened when I had a pin blow mine out. I didn't realize anything was weird until I open the bolt and went muzzle up and had a bunch of carbon fall down the barrel and out of the ejection port. Then I looked at the muzzle and saw the hole. The baffle strikes I had from pins weren't...

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    I said nothing about Hornady either way, so I am not sure why you're implying I'm defending them. My TBAC end cap strike was 100% from steel pins.

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    Nah, that barrel was near EOL anyway, and I don't have a scope. The barrel is still sitting on my shelf after the rifle was rebarreled then sold off. The bolt gun it happened on was my trainer, and I moved to a second Tempest action so I could have a trainer and match rifle on the same action. I...

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    You had a pin or two in a flash hole. I had a similar endcap failure on my U7 and thought it was an issue with the metal or something. Once they cleaned it out and sent it back with a new end cap, there were several obvious strikes from cleaning pins in the baffles. I still wasn't convinced...

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    Hey OP, do you wet tumble with stainless steel pins to clean your brass?

    Attaching padding to cheek weld area ?

    All of my rifles get Armageddon Gear Cheeky Bastard pads. I've grown to prefer the mesh over the suede type partial some of the others use, and they're dead simple to install for the velcro attached version.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a cheapish tactical rifle scope. Is there anything besides Vortex Diamondback Tactical?

    The non-illuminated Bushnell Match Pro is just over your budget, but is a significant improvement over the typical sub-$400 stuff. I ran one out to 1047 with a 308 in testing before they were released, as well as several NRL22 matches and had no issues.

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    You mean the range card, I assume. The target card doesn't care what distances you put in, and you can have consecutive targets 1 yard apart.

    Scope Companies: More Of This (But Longer, With More Exemplified Use)

    The video I linked to was one intended to be quick, simple, and very narrowly focused. My point was more to see if that was at least in same vein as what he's asking for, just a much longer and more detailed video. If that's the case, maybe I can pull some strings at Bushnell. The video I posted...

    Scope Companies: More Of This (But Longer, With More Exemplified Use)

    Actually, I didn't. I know you're looking for longer format stuff, but that's in the vein of what you're asking for, isn't it?

    Is Hornady ELD-M BC wrong in Kestrel Applied Ballistics?

    My AM at the Grind the last 2 years ran 140 ELDMs at the 2020 match and we had no issues with her data lining up at all. We used the custom curve in an AB Elite kestrel. Double check all the settings in the Kestrel itself, not just the app and make sure something didn't transfer funny or get...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x52mm in MOA, 2nd focal plane, magnification question

    If your POI changes due to magnification, even in a SFP optic, something is wrong and it should be sent back under warranty. That said, it's unlikely to happen in the optic in question.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Alternatives for Vortex Razor Gen II

    The first batch was on the website and has since sold out. Last I checked, GA Precision has them in stock.
