    Annealing: Salt Bath vs Flame/Torch method

    I have a Giraud and recently started using the salt bath system. I am leaning towards the salt bath due to the temperature control that the system affords.

    AB 2.1.0 and the Kestrel 4500

    Trying to locate some boots from a photo

    I think they are an older Oakley product. The tread on the side of the toe area is identical to some Oakley boots I had a few years ago. They didn't hold up very well, only got one deployment out of the product.

    Question on Steel Targets

    I bought a Caldwell target flasher for about $45.00 at the LGS. 2 weeks ago I used it at 600 and 1000 yards. Both the Creedmoor and the Grendel triggered the light. I had it on a 2x2 foot steel plate. The motion sensor was dangling on rubber bungee cord stretched between the hanger holes on...
