    Perfect sense thanks Frank. I’ve just had the .338 and .308 mags side by side and can see exactly what you mean. Tony

    As above .308 bolt face so simple from that perspective. 12.7x48 sounds interesting ? Are you running it on an SRS? Does it mag feed ? The idea of a long fat round worried me re: feeding. Tony

    As ever great info here, I think you just saved me a ton of trouble! Any detail/pics you can share on the magazine changes ? Did you look at anything longer like the .450 Marlin for example? I had not thought of resizing bullets, that certainly increases the options for the Bushmaster. Tony

    I’ve mused on that and also .450 Marlin, in my mind I see potential feeding problems with a long fat round hitting the upper chamber before it clears the mag in the DT but I have no practical experience to base that on. Also no experience of belted rounds but that does not feel like much of a leap.

    Anyone running a .458 Socom in a DT? I’m thinking of a suppressed 16” Covert throwing subsonic heavies plus a ballistic tip load in to 300gr range. No real practical purpose in mind (very few hogs here) but a fun and unusual tool for the cost of a barrel. I know choosing an AR length round...

    No problem Nik. I have Coldbore and a PLF15C and had some conversation with Gus at Patagonia about interfacing, cable would have been fine. I don't get the sense that there is much development going on with the non phone platform. I just ordered FFS Delta V to get the integrated PLRF and...

    What would the reason be that the DA on a Kestrell is different from what FFS calculates

    I'm just Pre reading the manual as I switch from colbore to FFS and came across this :- [Note: When using a Kestrel connected to the program, do not expect the Density Altitude as calculated by the Kestrel unit to necessarily agree with the program’s calculation. The problem is that the Kestrel...

    You have a rangefinder linked to Coldbore via Bluetooth? If so which version of CB? tony

    Rifle Scopes S&B 1-8x options

    Is anything in the PMII 1-8 line actually shipping yet? I'm seeing plenty of sites willing to take orders but no reviews from anyone with a scope in hand...... Cheers Tony

    PLRF cables

    Is the pin out different? I understood the same cable is sold for both PLRF and Vectors? I'm looking for one too if you find a source or if I can help spread the cost. Cheers Tony

    anyone ever buy anything from Third Eye Tactical

    I have Unimount, 34mm rings, 30mm rings and suppressor/moderator. As they are UK based I looked to them initially for a shorter lead time than importing but now they are my first choice based on quality. Craig and the team are a pleasure to deal with. Take a look at their new rings, I think...

    Terrapin.... will be..

    Thanks, I appreciate the info. Is this a third party solution or Vectronix? There is a Bluetooth adapter listed in the PLRF section of Potomac's catalogue along with the cables etc. I have never heard of it before but unfortunately it is almost a thousand bucks...

    Terrapin.... will be..

    Come on that's just being a tease :-) Any more info on timing? I assume an external device connected to the plrf port, will it have a remote trigger? If this is anytime soon I will hold off from dropping $350 on a cable. Tony

    Pity. You'd hope a 10 Rd design with a nested follower in a straight line config could be made reliable though. That said, I have enough $ in SRS, 2 bolts and 3 barrels with more to come that $200 for new skins feels pretty minor..... Tony

    ..... Magpuls for those that are interested, need to be softened in boiling water then some leverage but they will go on. The mag still drops free in my normal shooting position but will not with the monopod completely retracted. I can't get that low so a non issue for me.

    .... This is the Surefire design I was thinking of. After a little digging I found it uses a very clever nested follower - that's a lot of R&D cost. They retail for circa $120 but with a huge addressable market. What would we be willing to pay for something like this in a short .308...
