    Left-Hand Gain Twist

    I have a few questions for @lowlight or others with GT experience. A little background for my questions, I'm a left handed shooter with a Surgeon 260rem bolt gun, 22" barrel with a Can. I typically go with 1-8 twist and shoot burger 140 match hybrids. MV is around 2760. My next node is around...

    Ep. 157, Barrel Ballistics

    Ok, being new to CB, wasnt sure if you'd true BC or play with drag coefficient. And whether you used JBM to back calculate (or if there were tools in CB, like there is for "true zero range") Thanks.

    Coldbore

    One of the everyday sniper podcast Frank talked about trueing, I asked the same question over there, specific to CB and tagged Frank. I'm sure he gets tagged in a shitload of posts, but if he or anyone else answers, I'll copy their reply here.

    Ep. 157, Barrel Ballistics

    @lowlight You talked about trueing (BC vs MV). and using JBM to back calculate from real data. I want to get back to using range cards and drop charts in the field and rely less of electronics, so I recently purchased Coldbore (desktop). I'm a CB rookie and wondering what's your process for...

    Coldbore

    Evening guys, Sorry for the rookie questions, but I'm trying to get my head around Coldbore (desktop). Once you enter all your data from the range, is there a specific process for truing CB, like specific tools within CB, or do you adjust MV manually until elevation lines up ?

    The system our club has is "Shotmarker". I did ask the manufacturer the same question and received their reply this morning. I did ask about setup tolerances for accurate velocities which I don't have an answer yet. So for those interested, here is their reply--- Hi Steve, This kind of...

    Anybody know how accurate the bullet velocity reading is? Wondering if its accurate enough for creating custom drag curves!

    Any companies offering hunting chassis at SHOT?

    So @lowlight , whats your favorite colour this week ? LOL Kidding. I haven't shopped around for chassis in the last few years and I'm looking for opinions on chassis for me to consider researching further-- Background, I got my wife a Tikka T3 CTR (260Rem) and put my old SHV 4-14 F1 on it...

    Coldbore

    Question about measuring bullet velocities at multiple distances: I'm not sure of the brand name of my clubs system, but we have the electronic target system for F Class/Bench rest (max range 1K yards). @lowlight conducted a training class at our range in MN Labour day weekend 2019, so he is...

    I feel like a dump $h1t, I found the answer I'm looking for on page 139 of the manual. I must of grazed over that part thinking it was the normal explanation of mils and moa !! Although I feel like a DS, I'll leave the question up incase someone else down the road is looking for the same answer!!

    Coldbore

    Good morning all, I just purchased a copy of CB (desktop only). I want to keep a detailed database at home, and rely more on hardcopy data in the field (hunting and practical field matches like CD). That said, I read the manual this weekend, and have a broad understanding of the system. My...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    So what is the recommended best practice for truing the Kestrel and having it make the necessary adjustments to MV based on powder temp.? It seems both these features are important, but you can only use use one or the other!

    The Everyday Sniper Podcast Episode 49

    Frank ( @lowlight ), I'm late to the party and playing catch-up on the podcast (really enjoying them during my commute). Maybe you know this by now, but just in case! You are (or, last year at least) using an android phone to run the edope app. FYI- The Kestrel Link App also sync's with the...

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    Question regarding powder temp table and MV. I understand the MV calibration process. If using the Powder temp table, is there a certain order things have to be entered? If I've already calibrated my MV, what happens if I add powder temp/MV info from magnetospeed after MV calib? Or vice versa-...
