Is there a way of renaming a kestrel 5700 unit from the default 'model-s/n' name that it appears as when linked to the Kestrel ballistics app? I've searched here, the kestrel site(s) and done a web search - and searched all unit and app settings - but have rolled a donut. No doubt there's a...

Caught this on YT Todd Hodnett indicating that to accurately utilise MV temp function in AB Kestrel, shooter needs to ascertain temp of ammo itself, not the ambient/air temp? Is this correct? If so, I’ve been doing it wrong...

Per subject line, can anyone provide an image or link to a 22 CM dimensional drawing? If not, can anyone shooting a 22CM provide the following dimensions: 1. Overall case length 2. Case head/base to neck/shoulder junction length Seeking the info as I’m ordering a die blank to have a seater...

Did anyone pick up on anything new from Garmin at the show, apart from the collaboration with Sig? There had been some vague talk about BT integration of windmeters with the 701...

Per thread subject line, looking for a quality and accuracy comparison between the first gen RCBS chargemasters and whatever iteration they’re up to now? I own one of the first gen models and it’s good, for what it is. I’ve changed the programming to try and eliminate overthrows, run an insert...

Hi all Looking for recommendations for a replacement near/vertical grip for the MPA BA-Comp chassis. I have their vertical grip on mine and it's not fitting as well as I'd like. Have given it a fair go and it's workable but a little distracting and when I'm under the pump, sometimes I find...

Wresting with specifics for zero height and zero range entry in JBM and a couple of apps (Strelok, Trasol), where I've been running some numbers for comparative purposes. In the JBM trajectory calculator page, there is a field entry for zero height - which is defined as 'the height of the zero...

Looking for feedback from recent purchasers of Whidden reloading dies. Have read a few threads on this and other forums that indicate they continue to be a bit hit and miss in a QC sense. I’ve bought and subsequently got rid of Whidden dies in 22-250 and 6.5 Lap due to scratching and...

Thinking of you yank bastards on this day of days - and all the shitstorms we’ve jumped into together over the last 100+ years. All quiet now. Lest we forget Australia

Gents This caught my eye over in the training/classes sub-forum. Pic thread from Alaska Precision Rifle AAR. Can anyone identify this chassis for me? Cheers, Justin

G'day guys Am seeking advice on how to proceed in the face of a recent diagnosis of Lyme disease (plus co-infections) that the Docs think I've had since late 2010. Was originally (mis)diagnosed with Ross River Virus (a type of arthralgic fever bug that is mosquito vectored down here in...

Gents My search-fu is weak, so apologies in advance if this has already been aired out elsewhere. I have a Surgeon 591 short action that I am thinking of putting into an AI AX chassis. This action has been modified to accept AI AW magazines and runs them like a champ. My question: Will any...

G'day guys The footage in the tac comps sub-forum of that awesome F4 corsair fly-by at the K&M match reminded me that this is on. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the Brits), it's being held in the UK 30 June/31 July at Duxton Airfield. All due credit to the Brits, they do keep this stuff...

Gents Picked up a PLRF05 today. Excellent bit of kit. Looking for a couple of accessories for it and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction: 1. Adapter to fit NV Monocular. The 05 has a night mode (bonus) and there is an image in the instructions of a NV monocular mounted to...

Here's a question. Who uses what to lube the inside of their case necks and how do you achieve consistent coating of same? I've not really found a clear answer on the this previously. I've used Hornady one-shot spray lube and sprayed it on an angle that allows some to enter the case mouth...

Anyone used/using one of these by Ballard/Precision Rifle & Tool and able to comment on how they find it? Designed for bipod use. I currently use a T4 on my F/TR rifle but am thinking of changing out to something like this. http://www.precisionriflesales.com/ftr_rifle_stock.html

Today in history - 1966 The A Shau Special Forces Camp was located in the A Shau Valley, about 30 miles (50 km) southwest of Hue in Tha Thiên Province. It was strategically important for the North Vietnamese Army as a major infiltration route because it was adjacent to the Ho Chi Minh Trail...

Anyone seen one of these? Looks like a great concept (am very fond of the enfield jungle carbine which this looks like a redux of), short-barreled, feed from AICS mags..I'm wondering what the execution is like...

G'day guys: Question(s): Has anyone successfully used Lee collet dies for reloading rifle ammo in a Dillon press? Any issues to be aware of? Reason I ask is that I currently reload all my match rifle ammo using a forster co-ax single stage and have done so for years but am thinking about...

Gents I shoot a 223 f-class TR rig down here in Aus (Should be called OZ for the gun laws, but that's another story..) I'm thinking of changing out the barrel from an 8" twist to a 7" so I can run the Berger 90gr VLD at the longer ranges (800,900,1000). Questions: I use .100" of freebore...
