    Opinion on this annealer

    Hey guys, I've fired my Lake city LR brass about 4 times and I figure its time i should anneal. Before doing it the power drill way, I thought i might look into buying an annealer since I've been pressed for time because of work. I know everyone says the Bench source is the best, but its so dang...

    Range Report Strelok ballistics config issue assistance requested!

    Thanks lowlight, I appreciate the advice/info, I don't quite have a solid understanding how much 1/10 of a mil really is, I figured at 600 yards it could be the difference between hitting and not. Most of error probably lies with me the shooter haha.

    Range Report Strelok ballistics config issue assistance requested!

    lowlight you are right about my post, I have it right on my phone/calculator, but wrong here haha, I've edited it. I'm trying to compete in local matches, and they have stages where the distances could range anywhere from 15 yards (curveball) to 635. The matches are tremendously fun and because...

    Range Report Strelok ballistics config issue assistance requested!

    Ah gotcha, sorry for misunderstanding. His dope chart is fairly close to what I've experienced, its closer than what I've gotten from strelok (free). I'm guessing its because of the g1 / g7 thing you spoke of. When i tweak strelok to match my 600 yard dope, it's about 1/10 of a mil off for other...

    Range Report Strelok ballistics config issue assistance requested!

    hey Zombiemonkey, thank you for replying. He was spotting for me, and inputting my results on his ballistic app as my shots hit, so he says its my dope not his. I'm not sure what banded BCs are, I was using the data from my mentor's printout. The 2650 FPS came from the printout, it was not a...

    Range Report Strelok ballistics config issue assistance requested!

    Hey guys, Ive been trying to use Strelok free before possibly buying shooter for android. Strelok seems more user friendly and is of course, free! I tried looking at shooter and got pretty intimidated. A mentor at the range spotted for me and used his software (I think ballistic AE) and printed...

    Painting AICS skin with krylon question

    Thanks guys I painted over it I left a little tape over the grip area just in case because those holes were smaller, I wore gloves during the entire handling process to avoid getting oil on it, right now its drying in the garage, but I think it looks pretty darn good, I messed up a little when I...

    Painting AICS skin with krylon question

    Hey guys, I tried searching and didn't find a answer specifically to this question. I'm trying to paint a viper skin over with black, I used citristrip to remove the old camo paint, then cleaned it with t-shirt /sock, cleaned out some of the socket holes, and I'm getting ready to paint, I...

    Rifle Scopes Would this optic/mount/ring setup work?

    Ah Bugger, I called SWFA since they have TPS kits for sale, the TPS 20MOA base is sold out, TPS is apparently backed up for months. ~_~

    Rifle Scopes Would this optic/mount/ring setup work?

    Been doing my homework, Thanks a bunch Oldfatguy haha, do you know if .80 will work? I found out that TPS lows are .925, SWFA lows are .80, and Burris Xtremes lows are also .80 P.S. TPS super lows are .82 which appear to be the same height as your badgers.

    I just pulled the trigger on an open box vortex 6-24x50 PST FFP MRAD was $800 shipped, no tax. I'm not worried about my purchase at all, vortex has great warranty, and the price I paid is $500 below the SWFA glass... which is going towards an entire RCBS reloading set + dies and even a little...

    Rifle Scopes Would this optic/mount/ring setup work?
