    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...

    Kestrel Elite - manually entering wind direction for target card

    Apologies if this is dumb - I'm not finding how to do exactly what I think I want to do (or find the shortest possible way there). I'm hoping maybe I'm dumb or I've just missed it. I've had issues getting the Kestrel's compass to work consistently (even after countless calibrations, practice...

    Not Bartlein Barrels

    @Frank Green mentioned asking for the serial number - another option is to just ask the gunsmith to part off the serial number info and send it to you with the barrel/gun. Trivial to do on a lathe before they start to cut the tenon, etc. Then you get a 1.25" "coin" with the barrel info on it...

    You're just wanting to know which mandrel? I'm just getting started on 6GT, so I haven't resized any brass, yet. But, based on experience with 25CM and 6.5CM, if you're annealing each time, a .240 mandrel should put you at .0030 or .0035 neck tension, depending on your bushing. Go up in mandrel...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I'm sure this is my poor search-fu or something, but can't seem to find the answer? Apologies for being dumb... Does the KestrelLiNK Ballistics app back up things like DSF, bullet length (if input via Kestrel), etc? (ie, all of the stuff you can edit in the gun profile on the Kestrel itself...

    It's best to just forget the thing even exists, and then magically one day, you get a new toy!

    Sierra problems

    Read the 4th paragraph here, regarding BlackJack Bullets demise and Sierra's involvement... - that was April 4th, 2022. As a small business, it's kinda hard to keep rolling when you can't deliver any product. Now... Sierra is only part of the problem (a big part, but not the whole story) in...

    New Hornady 134 .257

    Sierra was making them for Blackjack under contract - not clear to me who owns the design, actually, so I don't know if Sierra could sell them directly (though they could easily generate their own high BC .257 design). But, Sierra's apparently focused on "more important things" like large...

    New Hornady 134 .257

    The ACE is done done. Even if Sierra made more, the money to pay for them doesn't exist anymore, and you're not gonna see it come back to you. (I'm in that boat with you, unfortunately). Another option that doesn't seem to get discussed much is the Berger 133 Elite Hunter - it's not available...

    Ah, gotcha, thank you. I thought date was encoding in the number somehow, but it's not... at all... LOL... I'll drop you my control number in a DM...

    Just curious what the encoding is, or how you know that number indicates March 30/31? I only ask cause I certified on on July 7th, 2022, but my control number doesn't seem to make it obvious it was in July?
