    Your reading comprehension is even crappier than your blatantly false claims. I specifically said the Prometheus does NOT have any sort of drop tube effect, because the powder is released from below the top of the funnel. If you use an ATV3 and drop your powder from even flush with the top of...

    The Prometheus itself uses a short funnel to put the powder into the cases. I believe it's an RCBS, matching the powder throw supplied with it, with inserts made by Brand for different cartridge diameters. Powder drops from the weighing funnel (just a metal cone with a stopper ball to seal the...

    No, my measured data from testing outweighs an opinion that you refuse to explain and which lacks any factual basis. You're claiming that measuring out the same charge weight using with two different methods will result in the method that is both less-precise (0.05gr resolution rather than...

    That's the thing - the only change you'll see from improvements in charge weight consistency is better SD/ES or more consistent velocity from range trip to range trip. You won't see other changes. Your zero won't shift any more or less than the velocity dictates. Your groups won't be any more...

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    That's good to know, I thought it was just a limitation of the Applied Ballistics software but it must have something to do with the calculation hardware inside the Kestrel if it works on a desktop. Out of curiosity, would anybody with a Kestrel 5700X be willing to see if the maximum wind speed...

    SOLD Prometheus Gen 3

    Did you mean to say Prometheus Gen II, or is this some sort of not-yet released upgrade to the Gen II currently available (with the aforementioned wait) from Brand?

    ES/SD are the quantifiable forms of measuring whether something does or doesn't improve the consistency of ignition in your reloads. Measuring weight of the powder charge more accurately is all well and good, but it doesn't mean anything when it comes to measurable improvements in your accuracy...

    You can disagree all you like, it still doesn't change the fact of the matter that you can still load to crappy SD/ES values using a Prometheus and you can load with excellent SD/ES values using other methods (SuperTrickler, ATV3, and ATV4 included). I personally have loaded ammunition using a...

    Correct, as I proved with basic ballistic calculations what you are trying to do is substantially easier than F-class and benchrest, particularly when it comes to the requirements for ES/SD. The full-value windage difference at 500 yards with that 50fps ES I discussed to go along with the 1.8"...

    It doesn't depend how small you're shooting, it literally doesn't matter when the same repeatable small SD/ES numbers can be achieved on a number of other powder measuring platforms. The exact precision of your powder charge's weight is meaningless compared to the consistency of the end result -...

    The Prometheus is accurate +/- 1 kernel of Varget in weight, or about +/- 0.05gr of powder. The thing is, that kind of accuracy isn't required to accomplish the above stated goal (not missing a prairie dog) and it's not even required to achieve more difficult tasks like winning F-class and...

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    Hey now, this Kestrel is rated to be accurate in wind speeds up to over 80 miles an hour. I paid for the entire measurement range, by golly I'd like to use the entire measurement range!

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    It all began this morning when the forecast called for a stiff breeze out here in Colorado, and I figured it was the perfect time to practice my wind reading skills with a little shooting. I donned my trusty Applied Ballistics hat, adding a wrap or two of duct tape to keep it firmly attached...

    Firearms (Price Drops) M5 Mausingfield Barreled Action, MPA Comp Folder, and More

    It's less than 15 serials earlier than the headspace standardization that occurred at M5C1-TSR-00385. Current spec Mausingfield pre-fit barrels headspace ~6 thousandths longer than a minimum-spec go gauge. If your no-go gauge is 0.004 longer than minimum spec the bolt will close on that with a...

    Firearms (Price Drops) M5 Mausingfield Barreled Action, MPA Comp Folder, and More

    Currently has exactly 789 rounds on the barrel, with documentation including the load used for each of those shots. The action itself has had either 4 or 5 barrels previous to this one, so probably around 10,000 rounds in total on the action with at least another 25,000 dry fires. It's very...
