    338 lapua reloading

    Get the Forster CoAx-XL, which will handle the .375 CT. Hodgdon Retumbo is a goto powder for both, as is the Federal 215M primer. Brass is Lapua or Petersen for the 338, Petersen for the CT. After that, it's a deep rabbit hole in what equipment is needed vs wanted. I use custom dies from...

    Night Vision IR laser with Clip on

    The ATPIAL is plenty low, I presume you want it for your head mounted NODS or to ID targets for those with I2 devices. The MAWL is however a much better device.

    Field Firing Solution (FFS) new Android release?

    We certainly could, let me look at the ATAK toolkit.

    Field Firing Solution (FFS) new Android release?

    Long term we want it to be screen agnostic. Right now, the target test device is a Nautiz X81, a field rugged handheld.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Next time I have a TAD in hand I'll run them on the DTNVS side by side and get some pics. I'm running the E-COTI, and have been quite happy with it. Looking to get it connected to the ATAK when they finally release the add-in.

    Field Firing Solution (FFS) new Android release?

    I actually have a working version in alpha test right now. Trying to work out the BT protocols for LRF's and the Kestrel.

    Night Vision Custom USB power supply options for Thermal and NV

    I literally had been designing one of these in my head for a while now for my UANVB-katana’s but I’m thinking because the battery cap itself (the surefire clone) is the on/off button, there would need to be an additional on/off switch added into the cable somewhere along the way back to the...

    Hard Bolt Close for Shorter OAL

    .001 is most certainly not enough. .002 to .003 is standard. Case length may also be an issue, it's possible, though unlikely that the case needs trimming to length. When setting the sizing die, best thing to do is strip the bolt of firing pin and ejector, then see that a sized case lets the...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Well, the test unit I had here clipped in to my E-COTI mount just fine.

    Hush Holsters ? For silenced pistols

    I'm testing one out with an M&P45, Surefire X400V and Ti-Rant 45. I had to fabricate a mount plate to get it where I wanted on the war belt, but that's just my G-Code setup. It has a little wobble, and reholstering takes a little technique, but even with the wobble it seems pretty secuve. The...

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Dual Thermals

    The challenge with dual thermal is seeing shadow and contours. It's OK if you are just scanning in a fixed position, but movement can be quite a bit more challenging than movement under I2. Can you? Yes. Should you? I advise against it in my classes. For thermal target detection while...

    Accessories STORM AN/PSQ-23A for sale

    I do not, I have seen them appear from time to time on EBay, Venture Surplus had some, but they are not common.

    "Zeroing" laser rangefinders

    Divergence is normally a pretty tight spec, if it falls far outside then the unit will not perform as advertised. Remember, the Vector IV is more than 20 years old, and it has a 1550nm laser. That uses MUCH more power than a typical 900nm commercial unit. You need about 50% of the beam on...

    "Zeroing" laser rangefinders

    Normally you can get the beam dimensions from the mfg. At 100 yards, take a sheet of cardboard and cut some holes to a bit over the beam size. For example, the Vector IV is 2 mil x 2mil, so cut a 7.5" square opening. if you center the reticle on that, you should range the target beyond it...

    SD's

    Then you need a class in statistics. Standard deviation will tell you the expected spread, 98+ % of rounds fired will be within +/- 3 SD's of the mean. ES is more or less useless. Fire 5 rounds and take the ES, how many data points is that? 2. Fire 100 rounds and take the ES, how many data...
