    two different lot numbers

    @Rocketmandb How did they shoot? Was there a difference in performance? Very interesting.

    Ingenuity Powder System

    Yes they have a V4 version but I have not seen anyone running it. I am running a V4 without issue - 10 seconds with minimal overthrows.

    7mm PRC

    Did you bother to scroll through any of this? I scrolled up like 3 posts and saw 2 listings both running 66 grains of H1000. 18 pages of data here.

    Binos usable for spotting?

    It is all we use anymore. 15x and 18x. We went with Vortex Razor HD 18x56 binos, no issues spotting impacts well past 1k.

    Recommend me a new scale

    If you try to run it faster and with some stick powders, yes it will overthrow. Most issues are in the set up. The new parts help with overthrows while allowing faster drops. The average we are seeing is 10 seconds without overthrows with most powders we have tested.

    There are some upgrades for the V4 coming out soon. MK Machining should be releasing the V4 upgrades in the next few weeks. Makes the V4 faster with less overthrows.

    I have yet to actually kill a GT barrel. Pulled wife's at 2800 and it was still shooting, but getting long in the tooth. Probably would have died between 3200 and 3500, my best guess. She was running Berger 109s at 2930 with 33.7 of RL15.5. It seems they all have started to drop velocity...

    I went to DTACs on my last barrel too. I set them at .045 which is just in front of neck shoulder junction with a .120 Freebore. 37 of N160 @ 2845. Just put a new barrel on my GT. Hope to shoot it this weekend.

    "I primarily shoot 115 dtacs started at 50k off lands and I just leave it there and add powder to keep it in the low 2800s for velocity." ^^^^^^^ This is what he said

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    And don't forget some powders are not cut evenly, like RL15.5. .02 to .06 on the high end. I have also seen kernels stuck together with some powders, no getting around those issues.

    I hope the info I sent you will help you dial in the V4 faster.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    This is a symptom that something in your configuration is not set up properly. Typically it is in the V4 settings but can be belts or scale settings.

    Gunsmithing Orange Vise/Area419 Collab

    They do the jaws for the vise. They only did a few runs with vise. I got mine from Orange and jaw set from Area 419.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    We are seeing very good results with very few if any overthrows. It took a while to get this moving and I suffered some injuries which required surgeries and almost 2 years of recovery, so we were not able to proceed for some time. The V4 is a good unit if you understand the settings and how...

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    Yes, in final testing with some beta testers. So far results have been very good.
