    PRS Talk Flying to Shooting Matches - Right Place to Post this ?

    Try to book a ticket that's either non stop or doesn't change planes. Show up early, to give yourself reaction time if the Customer Service agents don't like something with your setup, so that you go grab another lock, or shift your load between boxes. Each airline has it's "ism's" regarding...

    Gunsmithing Throat Erosion in a 6 Creedmoor

    It'd be nice to have a bullet from the original lot so your comparing apples to apples .001-.005 per 100 rounds depending on frequency/intensity of your shooting string sounds about right to me. What powder? And what bullet/velocity? You'll have quite a variance in folks experience with...

    Can We Talk About Twist Rates?

    Take the average of 7+ measurements of the distance needed to rotate a cleaning rod a full rotation with a nylon brush. Most barrel length/twists you can use two rotations and divide by 2. Maybe not so with the 18" barrel above. There's tolerances in all machining operations. Even the best send...

    Poor professionalism

    I imagine the old saying of.....Fast, Cheap, & Good, ought to be at least brought up in this thread. If everyone demanded honesty, integrity, and quality from thier builders...and didn't let quoted build times get in the way of thier build goals...there would be even fewer "problem" builders in...

    Hornady 4DOF App

    You can toggle the elevation "off" and then manually input it. 4 DOF wants station pressure...so as long as that's input and not local corrected baro pressure...than the MSL altitude won't effect your calcs much. But if you toggle it off, just input the msl altitude (like off a contour line...

    Anyone using the 107 SMK in 243 winchester?

    Appreciate you sharing. So to recap... 20 at .5 increments disregarding horizontal. Indicator of a "node" is vertical. 10 at .1 increments focused at the "nodes" discovered above. Again disregarding horizontal. Indicator of a "node" is vertical. Say for instance 42.8 is what you arrived at...

    Hornady 4DOF App

    jrbet I've been successful with 4DOF pulling atmo: WF via bluetooth K5700 Elite via bluetooth (must connect up Kestrel Ballistics app first IME) I have not been able to pull atmo from a non BT WF into 4DOF. I don't believe that functionality exists within the 4DOF app to pull atmo into 4DOF...

    Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle

    That'll give you confidence in your system. (y) What's a barrel change and bolt head change involve? I cant find a video, if you made one it'd probably get about a million hits.
