    Need advice - 6 ARC bolt action load data for 103-108 gr bullets

    I've not personally temp tested with a cooler / hand warmer. Informally, on a cool 50 F day vs 75 F spring afternoon, no appreciable difference. Many online resources vouch for XBR's temp insensitivity as it is extruded powder. Go check it out on Gordon's Reloading Tool as well if you want to...

    XBR, 26", bolt Info from the session in post #43, Hornady 103gr ELD-X @ 2848fps, near sea level DA. YMMV, happy shooting

    Need advice - 6 ARC bolt action load data for 103-108 gr bullets

    *Load at your own risk* Goal achieved. Both loads capable to 1000+ yds, very mild recoil, efficient, temp stable, groups well. Many thanks to the Little Crow Gunworks YouTube videos on reloading. I think that this is similar to the journey Frank is on with his podcast but with factory ammo...

    CZ 457

    My Pro Varmint (Boyds black varminter stock) purchased 2019 did not come pillar bedded. Had a local gunsmith do it, but should have done it myself after seeing the poor craftsmanship and long delays. YMMV, happy shooting

    *** Disclaimer, I am not an expert in reloading, I am rather new to this art and this is my experience. The load information that I have may not work in your system, and may be overpressured which may cause damage to your system, injury or death. Always go 10% below what your find online and...

    CZ 457

    Depending on your ammo selection and headspace measurement, bolt shims were cheap and effective way to improve accuracy in my Pro Varmint. Pillar bedding was +/- since mine liked lighter action torque settings so i'd only recommend if the bolt shims and lighter trigger weight doesn't help. Also...

    New CZ 457 24" 1.180 Match Barrel from L3i

    Anyone have this barrel in the KRG Bravo Gen 1? Any fitment issues? Thanks in advance

    Some powders seem to just not sync well with a cartridge. Little Crow Gunworks on Youtube has some great points on how to find the right powder and priorities related to load dev. Here's a ladder with XBR I shot with shots 1-7 making a nice group through a range of 1.8 gr and 252 fps. 8 and 9...

    I'll just leave this 5 shot group here. Ain't I a stinker?

    CZ 457

    Wisdom in this post, especially if building a setup with multiple applications. YMMV, happy shooting

    Need advice - 6 ARC bolt action load data for 103-108 gr bullets

    I'm finding that Varget slightly compressed groups better than Staball Match. Varget loads pierced primers above 2800 fps and Staball Match got up to 2860s with moderate primer cratering but no pierced primer. Purchased an arbor press with an LE Wilson die for final seating depth testing...

    Pace Master Timer Apple Watch app

    The new version works as it should, no more sleep/timer pause. User Interface is simple and intuitive. Recommend KISS principle as the basic app with shot timer, dope card that advances with shots, as the advanced (pay) version. I’ll try it in a match setting and let you know how it works.

    Pace Master Timer Apple Watch app

    The app updated to 1.04 and now it goes to sleep when counting down and the timer pauses. Is it a firmware compatibility issue or something else? 1.03 was working fine.

    Pace Master Timer Apple Watch app

    Great app! Easy to set up and use. The other apps fail when my Apple Watch 10 goes to sleep/power save mode, but this app keeps on working. The only feature I’d recommend adding is a split timer for shots. It would help to know how quickly I can get set up for the first shot and the splits...

    CZ 457

    What is the maximum barrel diameter for the KRG Bravo Gen 1 for the CZ 457? The Bravo Gen 2 accepts "accepts barrel contours up to 1″ in diameter." Thanks in advance.

    Disclamer: Load up slowly and at your own risk. Staball Match @ 30.2gr. Mild compression.

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    Back on track... a thing that took me forever to learn in this PRS game is that the game is about balancing the rifle at a single point. Mass and balance point of the rifle 2-3" in front of the magwell helps tremendously for positional stages. Well being a poor, I could not afford the fancy...

    Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

    Ever fix a jam during rimfire positional practice and it looks like a bent nail? But you say what the hell, it's practice/plinking anyways. So you unbend it and jam it back in the magazine to save that 2 cents/round from the Winchester 555 bulk pack you bought in 2006 and proceed to shoot...
