So an update, I've been researching loads for this rifle (1:7 18" WOA Wylde barrel) and I think the bullet for this build is going to be the 77gr Sierra Match King. Been watching Johnny's Reloading Bench on Youtube and he's got the same barrel and had excellent results with Accurate 2520 and...

No I don't, I just want to see them make a new Sharknado movie with Pugs.

So I ended up with a functional rifle last weekend with this parts list so far, but not done yet: 18" White Oak Armament 1:7 Stainless Steel Wylde Barrel, Rifle length gas. - On sale for $239 at Brownells. Aero Precision Upper, Lower, 15" S-One Handguard - Got the upper and lower for $89 on...

So I recently built a cheap .223/5.56 AR 10.5" barreled 'pistol' upper and brace lower to complement my 8.5" 300 blackout pistol, and I have to say it really sucks and I am not impressed with the ballistics or the accuracy. (I have been spoiled by a top end semi AR-10 6.5 Creedmoor build.) It...

Inconsistent brass? Warped primer pockets? (from shooting too many Bubba's pissin' hot loads?) Crap left in your primer pockets from the first firing? Do you have a hand press that you can chuck those things into and see what's what with hand pressure?

A few years ago I was weak, fat and broke. I lived for a year and a half on nothing but a liquid diet consisting of water, whey protein, mct oil, heavy cream, fiber, fish oil pills, a multivitamin and some micronutrient salts. 1600-2400 calories a day, 2-3 800 calorie shakes, about 5 carbs...

If you could make a ballistics computer that has detachable environment sensors package that could mount to a vane somewhere away from the FFP, that would be really cool. You could put a rechargable battery in the sensor package so that it charges when attached. You could sell the sensors and...

Thanks, it’s a testament to the consistency of brand new Lapua brass and a sane amount of powder.

Looking at tools for a digital dope book. Trying out new Ballistic-X app and best group on 6.5cm so far.

Can the compass in the Leica 2800.com be calibrated to the compass in the Kestrel or vice versa? (It's important that they both agree on exactly where north is.) Do both account for True North (important for Coriolis effects) rather than magnetic north?

I had a node at 41.8gn of H4350 @ 2650 fps out of a 22" barrel with 147 and 143gn ELD-M/X loads, but I destroyed my Hornady brass primer pockets doing it. It worked fine for 3-4 firings and then primers started falling out when chambering / ejecting brass. I switched to Lapua. Might want to try...

So I recently got the wiser precision magnetospeed mount so I’m able to record all shots and zero without changing the point of impact. This increases the life of my barrel/brass etc... because I can do load development and group analysis in one step. Here is my best group of the day. 5 shots...

Took the weathermeter contraption out to the range for zero conditions. Set it up for a test on the bench. Spun itself into the mild wind (3mph) and reported environmentals like a champ. 4DOF crashes when no data available on the phone. StrelokPro worked great. I’m looking into getting a...

Purchased from SS, single shot trust: 12/27/2018 Prints, paperwork etc submitted: 12/28/2018 Shutdown, form 3 limbo, etc. Check cashed 2/14/2018 Stamp: I’m a resident alien. Probably won’t get it if it ends up in FBI limbo. Senators are gun grabbers. :(

I had a node at 41.8g H4350 for 147g (and 143g) Hdy ELD-M/X but my brass had ejector marks, 4-5 loads and primers would start falling out etc... That got me 2650fps. Now happy with no signs of pressure at 2500 fps and think I'll stay there for awhile.

I learned that I start destroying brass and getting inconsistency if I try to push for 2700+ fps. Now I'm just happy with a very consistent 2500 fps (4-6 fps S-D) and have resigned to having a 1000-1200y rifle instead of a 1400y one.

Last night I shoved a weathermeter weatherflow device ($60) in a Kestrel windvane mount ($50) on a small tripod, paired it with 4DOF and Strelok Pro ($12) on my iPhone. I put a box fan in front of it to simulate a 12mph wind. My dog kept walking back and forth between it, sometimes knocking the...

Can I pair the two together, set the Kestrel up somewhere else on a wind vane mount (out of reach from my firing position) and range targets of varying DoF and get a solution without having to touch/see the Kestrel? Are firing solutions displayed in the rangefinder?

Ideally, I want a good offline off the grid setup. The closest public range I use to zero has no cell signal, no electricity and no shelter so that's a good test of field conditions. I have a couple of laminated range cards, the MilDot Master etc... which sit in my rifle bag, don't take up...
