So, N140/N150 for Varget... N550/N555 for H4350... is N160 too slow, or...? The N5xx series powders are double base - just wondering if there's a single base powder equivalent for H4350/RL16?

You can also find the previous generation of the same model for even cheaper - bought mine for $1500 a couple years ago, here on the 'hide - they have a bit more chromatic aberration vs. the current model (they changed lens coatings), but keep up just fine. Most people don't even see CA anyway.

I think you can find other posts about this issue here, too - been a while since I looked. It's the silly cut they make in the ejection port, ostensibly to allow you to more easily unload loaded rounds. The problem is, it sets a trajectory for case ejection that tends to launch it upward. The...

Wish I had the spare cash at the moment... Great piece of gear and that's a solid price.

It's too bad they couldn't roll a Maverick into the testing mix up there in Canadia, eh. I've been running one for a full year, now, in the 5" braked config. It's definitely less recoil reduction than a Sidewinder (or, theoretically, the Hellfire Match, which seems to be roughly same as a...

I have a nitrided A419 Sidewinder. I put it in a pickle relish jar filled with Boretech C4. That goes in the ultrasonic filled with clean water. Run for 30 minutes. Rinse in hot water. Done. Comes out clean as a whistle with effectively zero effort.

Looks like this has our answer (top left, in the yellow... doesn't list 2.12, but... ) https://kestrelinstruments.com/mwdownloads/download/link/id/40/

Same here, actually

I didn't keep super accurate track of round count... but I made "A" on about 20k rounds, "M" on about double that, and GM on about double that (so, 80k-ish to GM, for me, give or take), but that belies all the dry fire work, etc, between D->A/M, and just the time. And I wasn't a dry fire over...

It could potentially be fill - IIRC, the earlier TCS stocks had Double Dead as an option, whereas current ones, it's a standard feature. But, I don't know - all I know is my gun is ass heavy. Manners says the new rail can be up to 34oz with a full weight kit - mine would be at 30.4 with the rear...

My Vudoo wears a 20" 1.25" contour Krieger, and sits in a TCS (in fact, it's the one I have that has the latest style rail and weights we've been discussing). It doesn't have any rear weights in it, and the rear pair of rail weights are removed, as well. Even with a bipod on it, it's still tail...

100% agreed... I'm having a straight contour barrel spun up for mine shortly for that very reason...

Gotta be a typo - @tmanners or @RobertB could confirm. But... doing some quick math... Aluminum is about .1 lbs per cu in (1.6 oz per cu in). Stainless is about .28 lbs per cu in (4.48 oz per cu in). I measured one of mine at roughly .4 cu in (1.2x1.2x.3, and round down for the corners and...

Not sure the actual answer - but the A419 rail had their serrations, and those can cut bags - but who knows the real answer (other than the folks at Manners and maybe A419)

I don't think your weights are aluminum? They're stainless steel? (or, in the earlier version of the rail, coated carbon steel of some sort). There's been three different rails - one was an aluminum rail made by A419 and used A419's brass weights. In the same generation, you could order a steel...

There's a metric shit ton of data here, Hornady publishes data for the cartridge, etc. It's not hard to find... I mean, basically, a psuedo-random charge of Varget or H4350 with any typical 6mm competition bullet, seated at a random jump... pretty much works, almost as well as BR/BRA/Dasher 🤷‍♂️

I run a similar setup, but in 6GT. I'd be willing to bet the rig is still ass heavy if you put it on a cattle gate pole or something (mine is, although it balances on a bag on a wider prop - 2x4 or whatever). I have to have the bipod for that balance, though. Planning to rebarrel it with a 1.25"...

JTAC classes coming up in May, August, and Sept - the March one is sold out, but you could potentially reach out about waitlist?

@Kestrel Ballistics or @DocUSMCRetired - either of y'all know on this, by any chance?
