    Kestrel 5700 Elite gun profiles and Link Ap

    I've been doing a lot of searches and haven't found the answer to a specific question. Append or Overwrite? I've spent a LOT of time getting the profiles on several of my rifles tweaked so the Kestrel and range results match. I've been doing the tweaks in the iPhone Links ap. When done hit...

    Failure to fire Eley Ammo in V22

    Finally made the jump from Base Class and will be shooting OG. Made the road trip to DST Precision and left a lot of my money behind with Troy. Troy had a used Vudoo V-22 barreled action with a 20" MTU barrel he took on trade. Mounted in MPA BA Comp chassis with Gun Candy finish, Triggertech...

    AR-10 308 mag issues

    Been working on finalizing a new PSA PA10 308 build. There's typically a journey to get these things tuned just right for gas blocks, failure to feed, failure to eject etc. Then add a can tweak some more. I've been encountering a different failure to feed issue. I always run BAD levers on all my...

    NRL22 Base Class optics, reticles and zero stop

    Just finished my the June CoF which is now my 2nd NRL22 match. Time for some equipment changes. Picked up a Savage B22 Precision last fall and based on what I understood was the $ cap of $1,500 for Base Class picked up an Athlon Talos BTR 4-14x44 FFP Mil optic. Really like the APLR2 reticle but...

    20 MOA Pic rail on Savage B22 with Diamondback Tact?

    Put together a Savage B22 with a Diamondback Tactical 4-16 optic in MOA to shoot NRL22 Base Class. Shot my first NRL22 match a couple weeks ago and made a discovery about my optic and my pic rail. Optic is zeroed at 50 yards and hard stop down is 4-1/2 full revolutions. One of the stages was out...

    22LR ammo for NRL22?

    Picked up a Savage B22 last fall, mainly because I like MDT chassis, have two others for my PRS rifles. Looked at the Ruger but couldn't find one in stock anywhere, did find a deal on the Savage. Have over 7,000 of 22LR in the safe, mostly CCI Mini-Mag and wanted to put in some range trigger...

    223 semi-precision reloading frustration.

    I have several precision bolt guns that I've manage to work up very accurate loads. Combination of QuickLoad, lots of Labradar strings and spreadsheet data analyses and worked up loads that pretty consistently yield 1/2" groups at 100Y. I also have a custom AR build as a semi-precision gun that...

    Trimming necked rifle cases

    I have two case trimmers, one being the Hornady hand crank and the other the Dillon RT1500. Both of these are true over all case length trimmers that go off the case base to neck for total length. When my Hornady case prep machine died a while back I replaced it with a Frankford Platinum case...

    Ridge at brass mouth after sizing

    Getting puzzled here with a development with my 308 brass. I'm discovering a slight ridge around the outside edge of the mouth of my brass after sizing. It's not much but I can take my thumbnail and catch the ridge rather than a smooth neck. This ridge when discovered can make a bid difference...

    Dry eyes and blurred vision behind the scope

    I've been noticing more and more that when I spend longer periods of time behind the scope I start to loose my vision and can't focus on the target. Last weekend I was doing ladder load tests for a new rifle and the blurred vision was getting really bad. Been figuring it's just part of aging...

    Anealing - How often?

    Finally bought an Annealeez and love that thing. Went through and was annealing all my multi-fired used brass but do have a question for others that anneal. How often do you anneal your fired brass? I have a bunch of Hornady Factory Match 6.5 brass once fired. Is it worth annealing or wait...

    BTHP vrs tiped bullets

    So far I've pretty much only been loading Hornady ELD-Match 140gr bullets for my 6.5 Creedmoor with an occasional test load playing with SMK. The BC numbers look best for the ELD plus I can buy boxes of the exact same load off the shelf so I know what I'm shooting. Last month loaded several...
