    Applied Ballistics App does not acquire atmosphere from AB Kestrel Elite

    I mainly started this thread because what is marketed or advertised in terms of capabilities is quite different from what is seen in the field given the variety of users, environments, platforms, OSs, firmwares, etc and utilization techniques. I agree with you that the same old adage about...

    Newbie to ELR

    What's the twist on your barrel? If it's a 9 you can stabilize some of the very highest bc bullets already, as a 7 STW shooter you probably saw how good that chambering did already. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2018/01/first-elr-central-long-range-record-match-in-nevada/

    Applied Ballistics App does not acquire atmosphere from AB Kestrel Elite

    John- AB app ran with Atmo feed from K5700 regardless if K5700 was in Easy, Weather, or Ballistic mode. Connectivity within the Kestrel Ballistics Link app needed to be established so that Atmo can feed AB, 4DOF, or Shooter, so yes that App had to be open and have an active connection.

    Ok it's working...just like during load development...I'll see if i can put 5 in the same hole tomorrow and call this the Answer :) 1. Ensure all other BT devices are turned off in surrounding area. 2. Brand spanking new LITHIUM AA in the K5700. I had put a new alkaline in, but on power up it...

    Applied Ballistics App does not acquire atmosphere from AB Kestrel Elite

    John I gave that a go...that didn't quite check the box for me as of yet. No reference to that in page 18/19 in the link below.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone running a Revic yet?

    Ok, thanks. Trying to reconcile why just 32.5 left. It specs out at 85 MOA total elevation. So on a 0 MOA flat rail, you ought to have 42 ish (1/2 of the total adj range) left. On a 20 MOA rail that ought to put you with 62.5 left to use for elevation. 8 MOA is the largest bore alignment...

    Neck getting thicker

    You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. You've discovered why some neck turn...to uniform the neck wall thickness. Are your reloads what you would describe as "higher pressure" reloads...brass will tend to "flow" forward at a quicker rate when you push pressures. Sharper shoulder angles...

    Load Development Opinions

    24.5 up/down in .1 increments until you blow out of that node, so as to know the limits of it. Go back with seating depth in .003 increments from touching to .040 off. Tune your ES/SD with primers and use the minimum nk tension that your discipline will allow and see if those don't bring in...
