    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    I have the Kestrel 4500 with Applied Ballistics and so far have been very pleased with the device and the results I am getting from it. I am trying to understand the ballistics a bit better. Thought experiment: If I were to zero my rifle at a distance of say 500 yards wouldn't the direction...

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    Looking at getting the 4500 AB BT, but I am wondering how much it matters to get the "NV" version? I have a $45 off coupon for a store that has the non-NV version. I might use this thing at night. What sort of normal backlight does it have, and is it worth 45 bucks to shop somewhere else?

    Night Vision Picture of PVS-22/27 on a DTA?

    Correct, this is why I am seriously considering the 27, and my only worry is about size. possible that is an unfounded worry. I have not looked into the CNVD LR, but will check it out.

    Night Vision Picture of PVS-22/27 on a DTA?

    The pvs24 is a similar size range to the pvs22 if I am not mistaken, so this does help a bit. Maybe a good question to ask would be, if there is anyone who has gotten the Pvs-27 that wishes they opted for the pvs22 based on size. My concern is the size of the 27 not justified in the...

    Night Vision Picture of PVS-22/27 on a DTA?

    Looking for pictures of PVS-22 and PVS-27 mounted on a DTA. A picture being worth a thousand words, it might help me in my decision. Also, if anyone has experience with this setup, I would love to hear that as well.

    .338lm A few neck cracks - is this normal?

    Yeah, it seems like a lot to me as well. However, I have no reason to think (yet) that I am doing something wrong. So far none of the other 150 pinches of brass have issues. I am just concerned that maybe I am doing something wrong. Any other ideas out there folks? Am I just...

    .338lm A few neck cracks - is this normal?

    I have been reloading .338 LM for about a year now. I have several batches of 50 rounds (Lapua Brass) that I have been working though. Tonight I was re-sizing my "batch 1" and found a few with neck cracks. Batch 1 has the following reloading stats on it: 1 Full length and 3 Neck Sizes (4 if...

    300 SMK, a mile to 2000 yards, good or not?

    I am not sure if you were replying to my question, or something else that was posted. But my question was basically how/what are you doing to push a 300gr Scenar that fast? I wouldn't have thought you could get it going significantly faster that 2800fps without some risk over over doing it...

    300 SMK, a mile to 2000 yards, good or not?

    I am getting great results out to 1k with 300 gr Scenars out of my DTA. Magnetospeed has them running at 2770fps. I am running 92gr of h1000. Just wondering on the thoughts of pushing them faster? I have not tried, as like I said for the range I have access to they are performing great...

    Specific Annealing Question -- Can you "over-anneal"

    Well, that is what I ended up doing. I think my brass came out nicely. I had some issues really understanding the tempilaq stuff. Even inside the case neck it would burn off at the very end. I am using the 650, so I think I have a margin of error that is ok. The 400 deg stuff never got...

    Specific Annealing Question -- Can you "over-anneal"

    Cool. I sort of figured this might be the case. I suspect getting into annealing brass is a lot like when one first starts reloading: lots of questions.

    Specific Annealing Question -- Can you "over-anneal"

    I am purchasing a Bench Source machine, and just reading through the setup instructions and had a question for all you annealers out there. The scenario I am imagining goes something like this: 1) Trying to set up the machine to so ~650 - ~700 degree at the shoulder is achieved 2) Use 650...

    Suppressors The wait begins....DTA SRS w/ TBAC 338ba

    Thunder Beast brake. The TB brake is threaded to accept the TB Suppressor, and they make different brakes to attach to different barrel threads. For the DTA that is 3/4x24.

    Suppressors The wait begins....DTA SRS w/ TBAC 338ba

    I am a little sore the next day after that many rounds, but it isn't bad. DTA did a great job on the brake for the 338.

    My load development

    168gr Berger VLD Hunter 45gr Varget Fed brass Fed primers C.O.L. 2.905 2763fps at the muzzle (magnetospeed) Getting great groups (1/2 MOA) with this at 100 on paper, and working well out at 500-750 yards on steel. Starts to get a little iffy for me past 750.

    How much H1000 are you using to push a 300gr bullet(.338LM)?

    Sounds great to me. I would be happy to have a little lighter load and hit a good node and still have a decent velocity. Of course that is the grail we chase right?
