    Utah Shootouts - Practical Rifle - Apr. 10+results

    Re: Utah Shootouts - Practical Rifle - Apr. 10 Oh, and after the shoot, 4 (?) of us stayed after to attend and NRA Range Safety Officer course. Not only did the wind gust upto 17 MPH but it kept switching back and forth between 8 and 4; made for some tough wind doping. Next month I won't...

    Advanced Marksmanship Ranging w/ Reticle; any techniques to improve

    Today, at our Utah tactical shoot, we had 4 unk distance steel gongs; 18" round or square. Some shooters lased them, I used my NF NP-R1 reticle @ 22x and my USO FFP spotter. I hit 3 of 4. I'm doing this from memory, so forgive if i'm off. The missed target was the longest @ 824 yds. My...

    Utah Shootouts - Practical Rifle - Apr. 10+results

    Re: Utah Shootouts - Practical Rifle - Apr. 10 I know I had fun! I like the idea of fresh ideas's each month or so. Keeps us on our toes. Don't know if I'll ever run a bolt as fast as Clint. I have an idea. What if everybody who shoots shares ideas on how to set up different courses of...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting w/ your tact rifle, packing it n your gear

    Re: Hunting w/ your tact rifle, packing it n your gear Pat, Yes, it does help. My Surgeon w/ it's 26" barrel just hits 33" at the front of the pistol grip. So length will work. My rifle's NF parallax to windage turret is 3-1/2" but am worried about the KMW bolt handle with parallax...

    Which calipers you like?

    Re: Which calipers you like? You know the tests saying to keep Alzheimers disease away, that says you need to keep your mind active? I like both Starett and Mitutoyo non-electric. They keep my mind working harder instead of reading a no-brainer digital.

    Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super

    Re: Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super When I've loaded LR ammo with average components using non match dies (30-06 AI/Win brass/Lee neck collet sizer/Forster seater), I've seen as much as .011 runout when I wasn't paying attention to detail. When I use quality componets and dies...

    Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem

    Re: Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem IUD, Yes, totally understood that before. Also, the new impellars don't have index marks. The new ones have a numbered sticker on them and it needs to be inserted first, front to back "and" with any one of the three spokes at the 12 o'clock...

    Love my Vic123

    Re: Love my Vic123 J, The email from my friend said "precision adjustment to mechanism. Voids warranty - so I had to twist his arm (whom ever he bought the scale from) to do yours. The modification cost is none of your (He's talking to me) business." Guess I'll never find out. But I love...

    Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem

    Re: Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem Well, IMHO, it was the unit and here's what happened. I called Kestrel's CS and talked to BEN. Ben talked to their engineer. He had me take my unit, turn it on, toggle it to the wind mph section and then while holding the center button, toggle...

    Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super

    Re: Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super Yeah, sure. Have been using my 550 for over two decades for anything from handgun, mass 223 to precision LR stuff. No problems. Must have no less than a dozen tool heads set up at the moment. If I do have problems it's with the primer...

    Help - Neck sizing sucks! - now with PICS

    Re: Help! - Neck sizing sucks! What's your chamber specs say your neck Dia is? What's your fired case neck size? Why are you turning your necks 50%? What about trying to shoot your loads with original, un-turned necks? My best accuracy with my .294" necks is when I use the .289" bushing...

    Problems with reloading 45 ACP

    Re: Problems with reloading 45 ACP Make sure the case mouth is crimped somewhere between .466" and .470". If you don't have a caliper and you're loading lead bullets, a good test is to use your thumbnail and make sure the edge of the case is buried only half the thickness of the case mouth...

    Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem

    Re: Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem Jason, As I understand it and this comes from the folks at Kestrel, that's a big NO-NO in the car. Might ruin the unit unless your going pretty slow. Alan

    Kestrel problem; impellar or unit problem

    My Kestrel 2500 started having trouble a week back. Even during 8-12 mph wind it wasn't reading properly. I couldn't find my replacement impellars so had Kestrel send out a couple more. They arrived and when installed, I can't seem to "blow" it faster than 4, sometimes 5 mph. I found my...
