    Reloading blues

    I chronographed about 8 different loads through my rifle with two different traditional units and had numbers that were very low and erratic. The results were not matching up with the real world either. Then I used a magneto speed and got very consistent numbers that were almost dead on compared...

    Reloading press advise

    Take a look at the RCBS Summit. It's a great press.

    tab gear vs triad . open top pouches for ai mags ?

    I'm sure the Triad product is very good. I have some of their stuff and it works well for me. However, the one handed operation of the TAB pouch is huge for competition use. Also, internal adjustment is helpful because it's one fewer thing that can go wrong. If I can't get the TAB for a...

    What would you do based on this OCW test? I only have one more range trip before a comp.

    I decided to test 43.8 and 45.1. I only did a handful of groups. The pic below is my best one. Not counting the one outlier it is sub .5 MOA. I'm pretty sure the outlier was me. I'm going to stick with 43.8 for now, but frankly, I think I need to test it again. My kids woke me up at 4 am...

    tab gear vs triad . open top pouches for ai mags ?

    Does anyone know if the TAB Gear pouches ever go on sale anywhere? I would like to pick up a couple as I am impressed with the features and build quality, but the price is really steep.

    Kestrel and Iphone?

    Nick, thanks for chiming in. Does this mean that a completely new kestrel would be needed to connect to apple products in the future and software updates would not be sufficient? Also, are you aware of any actual movement towards creating apple compatible devices? Thank you.

    Kestrel and Iphone?

    Is that a software or hardware issue? In on other words, will they be able to provide a software update to make existing Kestrels with Bluetooth Mac/iPhone compatible?

    Kestrel and Iphone?

    The way I see it, the primary purpose of the bluetooth is not to constantly stream data. It is to perform software updates and manage profiles. If you don't get the bluetooth model then you have to buy another item to do those things that costs just as much and requires a wired connection.

    2014 AICS AX right folding?

    I have done significant research on the issue of what Defiance Deviant bolt knobs will fit in the new AX folding stock, including discussions with an engineer at AI. AI says that the Surgeon Pineapple bolt knob will just barely fit. I have a buddy with both the Surgeon Pineapple bolt knob and...

    AICS AX chassis, anyone have it? Like it? All opinions welcome.

    The new 2014 looks great. I want one.

    Kestrel and Iphone?

    It's incredibly frustrating. I don't buy that this is simply an Apple problem. Kestrel is already charging a significant amount of money for the higher end products. They don't have a problem paying for Horus and Applied Ballistics, which are essentially nothing but a bunch of algorithms...

    308 & varget won't group?

    I'm new to reloading myself, but I doubt it's the Varget. There could be a lot of stuff going on here. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in and advise. In the mean time, you might find this thread interesting. I'm using the same rifle and powder, and getting pretty good...

    What would you do based on this OCW test? I only have one more range trip before a comp.

    You have my attention. Can you please fill me in on how you projected another node at 45.1? I would be interested in the increased velocity if I can get good accuracy in that range. Also, can you please tell me more about the hybrid bullets. My barrel is 1 in 10 twist, so I can probably...

    What would you do based on this OCW test? I only have one more range trip before a comp.

    I will certainly let everyone know what I decide to do and report on results. In the mean time, I'm still taking in everyone's advice and thinking it through. I appreciate all the insight so far. I have just less than a couple weeks before the range trip, so there is still time to decide...

    Makes sense. I said "type test" because I didn't wait quite as long between shots as suggested. I just didn't have the time.

    I did round robin. Thanks for the advice.

    What would you do based on this OCW test? I only have one more range trip before a comp.

    I did an Optimal Charge Weight type test with my first round of reloads. I used Varget, fire-formed and prepped Norma brass, CCI 200 primers, and 175 SMKs. The rifle is a Remington 700 AAC-SD 20" .308 Win in an XLR Chassis with a PWS PRC muzzle brake. I did three shots at each charge and...

    XLR Chassis Stock

    Does anyone know if a Magpul PRS Extended Buttpad will screw on to the XLR Tactical stock as a replacement for the Ace Buttpad? It looks like the screw holes are similarly situated but it's hard to tell. I love the XLR stock, but hate the contour of the Ace buttpad. I'm looking for something...

    Norma 308 Brass

    Personally, I don't see any downside to uniforming the primer pocket, your guy is more knowledgable than I am though. I did everything from the flash hole to trimming on my Norma brass. I weighed 152 cases and the consistency is stellar. Kind of a waste to shelf it to wait for an elusive...
