    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    So for the benefit of the rest of us, can you tell me what is your process from receiving a jug of powder all the way to reloading your cartridges through let’s say a one year period of storage?

    I didn’t know that there was a problem with Garmin’s calculation of standard deviation unless you deleted a shot, which is the most recent update supposedly fixed. Do you have additional information?

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    What are your conclusions in terms of time to equilibrate and did you account for temperature at each RH and what was your process for altering the RH?

    Printed Precision Trickler

    Yeah, I don’t doubt it but what we are learning is that often times these machines work well with powders of one morphology and then really terrible with powders of a different size shape and weight. And the guys that built these things seem to start out testing them with stuff just like Vaga...

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    Well, if you’re gonna do it, you might as well create an experimental condition of sorts. Get a kestrel D2 drop and measure the humidity in a sealed container before and after your humidification process and see if it changes. That won’t tell you if you have developed any depth gradients, but...

    Advanced musings on powder humidity

    I think it is an unfounded assumption that the humidity in the powder will equilibrate if left in a stationary container with the cap off for any given period of time. I positi that there will develop a humidity gradient down the powder column. This could royally fuck up your standard deviation...

    Has anyone run some of the larger and slower burning stick powders through it? I’m wondering how it handles Rt Tumbo, H50BMG, RL50. If it does those well, I’m gonna jump cause waiting on Paul is now completely beyond ridiculous

    Ingenuity Powder System

    Yes, I have two of the RCBS powder droppers and they like to choke on the big kernels and you have to force it to cut one of them or jiggle it back-and-forth every couple of throws which can cause the powder to settle and lead to overcharges if you are close to the target weight. This is the...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    The Lee from the version two is a giant piece of shit and it would be a big step backwards to go back to a Lee. It is made of plastic and it likes to choke on big and small bones alike. I am surprised that nobody has duplicated the version three even if it required some milled parts and what not.

    I need to invest in some Scantilly, clad artificial intelligence generation software, cause upwards of 30% of these images you guys post are suspect. I could make a lot of money.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    ^this I wish people would stop promising things they can’t deliver. If the match master is where we still are after all these years of fucking around with supposedly superior devices, then so be it. I shouldn’t have sold my two match Masters, anticipating the V4, which I then replaced with the...

    Ingenuity Powder System

    There is in my mind, a difference between inability to keep up with demand and inability to release a product AT ALL going on two years after it’s announcement So I place the IP more in the category of the Desert Tech MDR that I do in the thunder beast Magnus cans. And we all see what happened...

    Velocity hardly matters in benchrest and anything under 300 yards

    His standard contour that he calls the Desert Tech contour is pretty much the same as there’s may be a little skinnier, but without the fluting so it comes out to about the same weight as a factory barrel And yes, the reality is that if you are in a time crunch, you might want to try to find...

    979 for a barrel ready to go with extension. Get yourself a bolt and you are ready to go. I wouldn’t even buy a magazine to start. I would get a single shot sled from Tyler at MKM. https://www.es-tactical.com/store1/ES-Tactical-SRS-Conversions-p117296585 Oh, and come to think of it, you will...

    The problem with short action customs is they are too proud of their stuff and this guy is trying to save money over a factory conversion. And when I talked to someone there a year ago, he told me they were getting out of doing Desert Tech stuff altogether, but you would have to inquire for...
