    I used Range Buddy, it's worth watching the Youtube video to understand how to use all the features. Good luck

    Tikka T3 Thread

    After perusing the the threads here I figured that the Sterk bolt upgrade and shroud was a must, for Tikka owners, LOL Again , for the modest cost, it's worth it, kinda gives it an AI flavor? if your OK with that. Top shelf fit&finish etc.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    It's VERY well made, which for the cost, I'm happy with, anything less and I'd be disappointed. The "functionality" so far, so good. I haven't really tested it in the field yet, but its stable and comfortable, and from the pics you can see much more streamline. While the rifle doesn't demand...

    Defiance finish

    Is it just the action? If so, would you consider sending back to Defiance and get them to Nitride it? Or just send the bolt? When I built my 300WM, I didn't Cerakote the inside of the action or the bolt body, just the handle and shroud, just in case I was to go too "heavy" on the paint. You...

    6.5 PRC Ladder Test (1st Time) 143 ELD-X New Rifle Thoughts On Next Steps

    BTW, did you experience any over pressure signs? also, I bought the Hornady gauge and modified cartridge, so I could get the exact COAL for my chamber and adjust from there. I'm running a Bartlein barrel as well & I'm impressed with it's performance so far. He's a 3 shot group with Norma 170...

    6.5 PRC Ladder Test (1st Time) 143 ELD-X New Rifle Thoughts On Next Steps

    OK, well it's my understanding that once you have the "node" you can fine tune the accuracy to some extend using the COAL. While you have a few "flyers" with the RL26, IMO you have excellent MV and if you can tighten the group , you have done your job. Good luck.

    6.5 PRC Ladder Test (1st Time) 143 ELD-X New Rifle Thoughts On Next Steps

    Well first off, excellent layout and posting info, I'm about to do this for the first time for my 300WM in about a week, so I really don't feel confident to comment on your results. That said, what was your COAL with respect to the lands? I've decided to start @ .020. I'm going to say that the...

    Tikka Tac A1 Accuracy Help

    Maybe I'm "old school" but I couldn't see myself using a nylon brush on a rifle of any type? I usually do a "back and forth" motion using a bore guide, and them take a shorter brush with a cloth patch wrapped around it to clean the chamber? If your using a bore guide (which is mandatory IMO)...

    Tikka Tac A1 Accuracy Help

    Check the muzzle crown? maybe it's gotta "nick" and how clean is the chamber? Did this start before or after you took the action out of the stock? or you didn't and just re-tightened the stock screws?

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I guess I worded that poorly, I managed to change the setting, but with the Kestrel AP you really don't need your phone? so am I done? or do I just use the link app?

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    OK, I'm pretty "new" so do I open both? I think that the rangefinder is connected through the ballistics app along with the gun profiles, however they are already uploaded. Thanks BTW.
