    IDTS Dry Fire Questions

    From what I can tell the IDTS system allows you to focus close and get multiple targets (different sizes & distances) on their screen. I like that the target size (in moa) is known. I assume that the system does not tell you if you hit or miss and you have to rely on your ability to call your...

    POI Channge @100 Yards With a 'Similar' Load

    On my 6.5CM I changed from shooting: 140 gr. berger @ 2690 fps (2250 ft-lbs) to 147 gr. ELD-M @2784 (2530 ft-lbs) At 100 yards the 147 gr. load hits almost 1 moa higher than the 140 gr. load. Is the increased energy causing more recoil /muzzle flip resulting in the upward shift in POI? The...

    Inexpensive Shot Timer for PRS training

    I am looking for an inexpensive shot timer for PRS training. Need something very simple - time for 10 shot string for each shot. Seeing timers at the $300 point but not cheaper. Is there something out there that I am missing?

    Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

    Is a bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic? I know that my precision AR is a tack driver out to 800 yards, but falls off the face of a cliff at 900. Thinking that is because at 800 yards bullet is going transonic. So thinking about various cartridges, what is the max range? I...

    Maverick, Magnus RR or HuxWrx Flow 762 for PRS

    Want to get a suppressor for PRS shooting. Shooting a traditional PRS gun - heavy bolt action. Not so much a suppressor as much as something that will control muzzle flip so I can better spot my shots. Will not shoot with a brake which is what 90% of what PRS guys do. Already losing my...

    Cleaning JP Adjustable Gas Block?

    I have a precision AR w/ an adjustable JP gas block. I don't generally clean it. I thoroughly clean the barrel, bolt & action every 250 rounds or so but not the gas block. Should I? If so, what is the proper way.

    Headspace Length Variation on Sig 716 DMR

    Just measured the headspace length on cases fired by my Sig 716 DMR. The brass is R-P four time fired brass. The headspace length varied from 1.627" to 1,631" for brass coming out of the same rifle. Why is there so much variation?

    Alpha Brass - Shorter than min case length

    I just shot some Eagle Eye ammo in 6.5CM that I bought primarily for the brass. After sizing my cases I measured the case length and all the cases were between 1.904" & 1.907". The minimum case length (i.e. trim length) for 6.5 CM is 1.910". Not terribly undersize but all of the cases were...

    Anyone use Silica Gel Packets-Desiccant Packs to keep moisture out of powder?

    Does anyone use the Silica Gel Packets-Desiccant Packs to reduce how much moisture is in opened powder jugs. Never have before but am beginning to buy 8 lbs. jugs which I will not go through very quickly. What size packets would I need? That is how much water in weight should the packet be...

    Loads for Sig 716 DMR

    I have a Gen1 716 DMR & was shooting loads developed for my bolt. The load I was shooting was a 178 Hornady BTHP over 43.0 gr. of Varget. I noticed that there are slight ejector marks on primer - not severe, but definitely there & odd they are not present when shot out of my bolt gun. The...

    Hornady Hand Primer

    Last group of cases that I primed w/ my Hornady hand primer left the primer about .003 proud. Tried to seat again w/ the hand primer and did not go in any deeper. Put in my single stage press & primer went to where it should be. Not sure if I used a RCBS or a Hornady case holder, but still...

    ELD-X vs ELD-M

    The ELD-X is a little more expensive than the ELD-M. In 178gr. .308 it is about $3 per box (43 vs. 40). The BCs are similar. Curious why they are more expensive. Same difference for a 6.5 (although the bullet weights are a little different - 143 for the ELD-X vs. 147 for the ELD-M).

    Trimmed Cases too short

    I trimmed my .308cases too short. They are running between 1.995" to 2.002". The max case length is supposed to be 2.015" w/ a trim length of 2.005". I don't see this as a real issue but want to confirm. Also, I used a little crow case trimmer and did trim after FL sizing the cases. Not...
