    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    About the only thing that comes to mind would be *how* it was mounted on the gun yesterday. I had it pretty much all the way back on the fore-end rail (ARC Xylo), and a can out front (Omega 36M w/ ColeTac wrap). The location + the can might have partially occluded the 'view'? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    Went 35 for 35 just now, with chrono back on its own tripod 🤔

    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    Weapon mounted, first time. Planning on trying again tomorrow with it on its tripod on the bench. Yup.

    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    Well... fuck. I got off night shift this morning, was puttering around a bit before going to the range, had the Xero plugged in charging. Got a prompt for an update, hit 'ok' then thought "Oh $hit. I remember reading about a new firmware that caused dropped shots. Damn damn damn. But wait...

    Mac Bros Evo vs Aero Solus

    Yes While I'm planning on getting a CDG at some point myself... what about an Origin? They take pre-fits (both Savage w/ a nut, and shouldered), have some pretty good features, and are kind of in-between as far as price. I have one, and am in the process of buying another off a friend (who's...

    Did you try Northland Shooter's Supply? They usually have stuff in stock.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    The only real problem (plenty of small annoyances) I've had with the AT v4 has been the main tube binding up. I got one of the early pre-order units, and apparently there were some issues with the bearing surfaces - I think it was something with the low-friction tape on the one area - been a...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I've got an assortment of old modified Dillon (with the UniqueTek upgrades), various iterations of the Whidden, and now a couple Armanov. All with a variety of seaters, from Redding to Whidden to Forster to LE Wilson. The clearance issue with the Armanov comes from their use of an Allen head...

    Chassis help for……Savage

    Rather than re-type everything, I'm just going to drop these two links: https://www.savageshooters.com/content.php?128-Savage-Action-Lengths https://support.mdttac.com/articles/does-my-savage-fit ...which are literally the first two results for a simple Google search for "Savage action hole...

    Is it worth reloading precision ammo on a single stage versus progressive press?

    If you already have the 550 and are comfortable it's operation, I'd say it'd be a relatively easy step up to a two tool-head 'hybrid mode on the 550. I really don't think that you'd be leaving much, if anything on the table as far as accuracy for the styles of shooting commonly discussed here...

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    The reason people went to the 0.02 gn accuracy is that it's *plus or minus* 0.02 gn, vs *plus or minus* 0.1 gn. If your load is right in the middle of a big fat charge node, then yes, +/- 0.1 is fine, or at least 'good enough'. Back in the before-times - I.e. 'before Hornady thought it was the...

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    Blanket statements like that are disingenuous at best. *Short range* BR shooters *used* to throw all their charges. More and more use pre-weighed charges, or bring the scale to the range with them. *Long range* BR shooters (600 & 1k) have never used thrown charges. The nodes they're after...

    Primer seating depth?

    ^ this Can't emphasize this enough. It's all well and good to go down the rabbit hole chasing the last nth degree of perfection... sometimes it's a matter of priorities. Not at least bottoming out the primer in the pocket will lead to inconsistent ignition, but beyond that... there's a whole...

    Primer seating depth?

    Primers aren't a one-piece thing. There's the cup, the anvil, and the compound. The primer as a whole should be seated deep enough to where the anvil is contacting the bottom of the pocket, but (usually) not so far as bottom out the cup in the pocket. You can't (generally) compress the cup...

    Rechambering a burnt barrel

    I think this was more popular/common 'back in the day' when barrels were harder to come by, and almost nobody - not even gunsmiths - had reliable access to borescopes. A 'shade tree' smith could rechamber an old barrel for someone a lot faster/cheaper than getting a new one in. The 'new'...

    Mandrel expander

    ^ this I love LE Wilson products, generally. They're literally about 5 minutes from my house; great folks. But what they were thinking when they decided to jump in the mandrel die business, with a special one-off unicorn die that can't use existing 'standard' mandrels... dunno 🤷‍♂️
