    What causes your same load to not be consistently the same velocity?

    i either a) combine from the beginning...or b) keep them separate the whole time ive taken 3-4 8lb jugs of h4350 and mixed them all making 1 new "lot", but i wont ever just dump a new lot into a lot im currently using

    What causes your same load to not be consistently the same velocity?

    can be lots of things if all the variables arent controlled... powder/primer/bullet/brass lot to lot variance bore condition...they will typically gain speed the more and more carbon fouling they get new barrels will also speed up in the first 0-200 rounds depending on how aggressively it is...

    Why does no one make AW magazines

    terry laid it out well if someone isnt well versed in all the geometry and mechanics of rifle feeding, i never recommend them to get AWs in a 2 lug...both of my current comp rifles took 3-4 hrs worth of cutting/fitting/adjusting to get them where i would run them in matches with AWs...but i...

    Anyone switch from RRS TA-3 Leveling Base to Anvil 30?

    i went from leveling head to anvil a few years ago...compared them side by side for deflection and what not when i had both iirc the anvil seemed to be about 90-95% of the leveling base stability wise...set a rifle up on both, locked in on a POA, pulled different directions with a force gauge...

    Rifle Scopes Questions on switching scope between rifles: Repeatable rings, Razor G2

    i dont play musical scopes, but both of my impact comp rifles have Warne mountain tech rings on them and ive had them both apart (rings off rail, but still on scope), multiple times over the years for various reasons and they are always within .1 or perfect when i put them back together...id...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Issue?

    can you replicate the shift at 100 yds? shoot it at 100, not getting it hot...bang the barrel fairly hard up/down/left/right...the POI shouldnt ever move...if it does, theres a rifle problem...if it doesnt, get it hot like you would on a stage and look for the same shift

    Does cleaning your barrel throw off the first shot?

    after cleaning the first shot will generally always be 25-50 fps slow...every barrel ive ever had does it as far POI...depends on the barrel...my newer barrels stack shots outta the gate...get 1000+ rounds on them, may take decent number of rounds to get them back to normal

    Advanced Marksmanship Barrel speed up?

    the biggest difference in seating i can feel on a typical press comes from inside neck condition (dry, carbon'd up, stainless cleaned, polished, lubed, etc), regardless of size ive compared it with a hydro seater as well far as consistent seating pressure...if my brass is dirty (like...

    What do I do now?

    know anyone else with a verified, reliable impact build? you could screw the barrel on their setup just to try and isolate barrel vs rest of the system i know on my multiple impacts i can swap the barrels around on them and they shoot similar regardless of the action its on i saw a different...

    PRS Talk Calculating Movers

    OP, just dont shoot first and ask someone their holds clearly being able to figure it out yourself is wasted effort...same goes for dope and wind also, just ask around and hope for the best...itll be close

    PRS Talk Calculating Movers

    same way as everyone else when i first shot at RO probably....someone shoots and then everyone asks them their hold and hopes to get close you only need the math for the first shot...which if you want to be competitive at the top, you better hit those too

    yea because every mover stage ever is blind and you cant possibly see it ahead of time the title says "calculating movers" ...not guessing them, anyone can plug in various speeds and guess

    PRS Talk Calculating Movers

    used post 2 method a lot...find mils/sec and figure with flight time you can also do it in a kestrel...there is a target speed calculator where you input distance to target and how many mils youre going to time it for...say 400 yds and 10 mils...you watch thru a reticle, hit start, and hit stop...

    PRS Talk Advice for New PRS Match Director

    Another thing I forgot is we never paint targets fresh...it can give an advantage to a squad based on the type of stage or difficulty depending on where they start...something with progressively smaller targets it’s a huge advantage to see your fresh splashes if you’re one of the first shooters...
