You should have been the first guy to help R&D suppressors for a brand new company…It was fun getting clowned-on for 1.5 years until a few weeks ago when TBAC did an unbiased test, and now suddenly everyone accepts them as being legit competitors, despite you telling them all this for 1.5 years prior. The shooting community can be a bunch of biased hard-headed MF’ers sometimes.
I don’t think we’re talking about the same company, because I don’t have any cans that came with crush washers…Yeah, but they still include that ultra cheesy crush washer...
I'm talking TBAC and I misspoke - it's their "peel washer."
I wasn't talking about TBAC, I was talking about Otter Creek Labs, but TBAC was the ones who did the unbiased tests a few weeks back.
As far as I can tell, Garmin ( and perhaps some others like Andiscan, etc) have doppler on all the time while Labradar has to be triggered.
Yup if it worked 100% for you great. Keep on keeping on.. While I didn’t have an awful ownership experience as you did, it did give me a few headaches. I could never for the life of me get Bluetooth to connect. I hated the fact that I had to use a trigger (Piet’s trigger was a godsend) to pick up suppressed shots and yes the microphone sucked. The occasional tracking errors also sucked. Setting it up for a range session wasn’t bad but did take time. I’ve also dropped my LR and broke a few internal board screw supports.
None of my SAC dies came with that case
I think it’s a more recent thing. My older ones came in the cardboard, my two most recent purchases came in the pelican like ones.
Hmm I got a new sizer about a month ago and it was still the cardboard box. But maybe it was an older one they had on a shelf still.
The Bulletseeker Mach4 hates suppressors, too. I have one. It's an $1,100 finicky pain in the ass. That's why I also bought the Garmin yesterday.
Yeah, I noticed my "new" (refurbed) MacBook Pro does this. I like that feature.
You pay $500 for a single reloading die, that fucker better come in a case like that. That's ridiculous. I like SAC, and have quite a few of their items like their modular barrel vise kit, and I only use SAC bushings, but $300-500 for 1 die is stupid.
Call SAC and see if they'll sell you one. Tell them what it's for, and they might start selling them separate on their site for others to buy.
"And you can come back later and easily resume the session".
I heard that…but I want to resume previous sessions. LR can technically do the same thing as above and resume the session…but not resume a previous session.
Picked up one yesterday. Will see how it fits when the Xero gets here Monday.Harbor freight apache 1800 case is very cost effective, had my labradar in their larger version, great case, tho Chicom made.

The Bulletseeker Mach4 you can have like 50 strings saved in the app, and you can continue them at any time just by selecting which one to continue with. You can swap back and forth at will, and it won't delete anything or stop reading. I hope Garmin updates the Xero to do this, and allows you to run live features in the App while simultaneously running the unit. I don't see why it wouldn't be more than a simple app software update, since they're already built to communicate via bluetooth... Just reprogram the app to run live-feed with the unit.
Yes, as you know you can add to a LR series as you don’t create a new series. Then you are locked out of older existing series. Stupid IMO
might not be that easy. I can sort of see potential timing and and synchronization challenges.
Well, I'm not a techy or coder, so I have no idea, just seems like it wouldn't be too difficult, if the BSM4 can do it, since they seem fairly similar in basic design and function.
So sounds like Garmin has the same limitation...
I’m sorta confident that they will not be like LR and just brush you off saying their product and app are perfect and the user is the problem. 
forums.garmin.com This is what I love about the Bulletseeker Mach4. It DOES let you do this. I hope the Garmin will let you do this, with a software update soon. But it will require them being able to run live-feed from the unit to the app in real time. This is how the BSM4 works, because it doesn't have any screen, other than your smartphone.So sounds like Garmin has the same limitation...
Stupid.
Seems like a very common scenario...
I bring Rifle A and Rifle B to the range.
I shoot a string with rifle A over the chrono.
I want to let Rifle A barrel cool, so I move to shooting Rifle B with a new chrono string.
I want to go back to rifle A now that it's cooled down some....but I can't go back and add to my original string?
Hope this gets updated. LR has had this limitation since launch...hope the Garmin listens to their audience and adds this ability (assuming it's not there as I'm anticipating...)
Got a link to that hard pouch? That's perfect size with the tripod attached, and the right amount of protection for it inside a range bag!
Here you go, it is a perfect fit no slop, and about as small as it could get. I wish the black one came in the brown color, because I am vain like that, but what can you do. Same company makes both though. And for $9 bucks hard to go wrong.
Thanks! I just ordered one of the black ones (exact fit). It has a 5% off coupon right now, and tax and all was $8.93 shipped. So, I'll give it a go for now, and if I feel I need more protection later, I'll go with the Pelican 1040 setup.
The form factor and performance of the Garmin makes the Labradar downright embarrassing.
