    Ep 222: 100-yd targets

    The best thing I did for my shooting before taking @lowlight ’s class was to use 1/2” orange dot stickers on easel graph paper with a 1” grid for targets. The grid works as a reference for group size computation and aiming at a 1/2 dot fits the “aim small, miss small” goal.

    6.5 CM: 135 gn A-Tip vs AR Hybrid 130s

    One of the things I learned at the Hide Cup 2019 is that my barrel is shot. I knew it was close, and had a new one on hand, but worried that changing right before the match would cause problems. Oh well. I'd already gotten a replacement barrel, and since the A-Tips had come out, I thought I'd...

    Figuring Out Practiscore

    I've been charged with setting up Practiscore for my club match. I've started to RTFM but TFM is a little light. It occurred to me that a thread here in Match Resources would be a good place to share information, since this topic can cover a lot of ground. Things I'm interested in learning...

    Modern Advancements Volume II Rangefinder Comparison

    Has anyone else picked up Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting Volume II? There’s some pretty good stuff on there. Particularly, the chapter on range finders is very helpful. Testing was done on 2.5x2.5 ft targets with 20% and 50% reflectivity. Targets started at 300m and went out in...

    What projectile in Prime 308 175?

    Does anyone know what projectile is in the Prime 308 175? I know the 6.5 130s use Norma Golden Targets, so I looked at what Norma’s 30 caliber offerings were, and can’t find a 175 gn offering. Prime lists the BCs as 0.5474 G1/0.2832 G7. I haven’t found any 30 caliber 175 gn bullets with those...

    Chargemaster 1500 Quirks

    I got a Chargemaster 1500 last week, and now after ~250 rounds loaded, I’ve noticed some quirks. Last weekend, it just stopped dispensing in auto mode. A power cycle solved that. Tonight I was loading up some 6.5 with my just-arrived H4350 and talking with my son who’s home from college. I...

    Episode 71: Kestrel

    Thanks for the Kestrel Lesson! A couple of things I didn’t hear you talk about: 1.) You can start with a Sportsman and upgrade the firmware to an Elite. I did that because I found a great deal on a ConX/Sportsman combo. 2.) For managing gun profiles, I find the mobile app a LOT easier to use...

    Redding Compeition dies and Flatlines

    Hey Frank, Just one thing on Redding dies and Flatlines. While I never had a deformed tip (insert mohel joke here), I did have to switch the VLD seating stem in my Redding Competition dies to not get a ring crimped in to them when seating. I only had this problem with the 30 caliber bullets...
