    Finally set up my home reloading station, have some questions.

    I do like 3 different operations when it comes to sizing: 1) I decap with a Frankfort Arsenal decapper 2) lube w/ imperial sizing wax then full length size the brass (without the decapping/neck sizing insert installed), then tumble in walnut media to get the sizing wax off 3) then use the...

    New TBAC SHOT Releases

    Talked to TBAC guys at the Mile High Hunt & Fish expo, they said they haven't started shipping the new RR's yet (hoping for later this month).

    Priming tool

    I run a forester co-ax primer seater… like the operation of it, just wish the large rifle primer tube held 50.

    What tripod should I look at?

    After a lot of tire kicking (between Fatboy, Two Vets and Leofoto) I ended up going with a Two Vets Recon V2i (3 section inverted). I found it the right mix of weight, height, quality and price. So far I’ve only shot off of it a couple times (using the 44mm TwoVets ball head and MA-30L) and is...

    Wind meter/Kestrel for Nrl hunter competition

    It would be up to the Match Director... they might have 4 positions that are marked, or they might have it where you have to move to 4 different positions, or they may allow you to re-use a previous position. Its a question you would ask in the match safety brief or the RO of the stage.

    Wind meter/Kestrel for Nrl hunter competition

    Theres a time limit of 4 minutes per stage but not a standard time per target. Stages are usually a 1 target x 4 positions (1x4), 2 targets x 2 positions (2x2) or 4 targets x 1 position (4x1). You figure you'll spend the first 45 seconds just setting up a glassing situation, 1 - 2 minutes...

    Wind meter/Kestrel for Nrl hunter competition

    I guess it would depend on your “system” or process. Definitely not advisable to be scrolling thru one to get ballistic solutions on the clock. I’ll be using one for periodic environment variable checks, other than that just running the LRF Binos with AB elite on the garmin watch.

    Ballistic App that Allows Truing a Curve

    I use both Hornady 4DOF and AB Elite, 4DOF has a truing function if you're using the 4DOF side and not the BC calculator. Its called "Axial Form Factor" and found when you go to edit rifle info in setting the Zero Angle from the HUD. That being said you have to use a bullet from the 4DOF Library...

    Sig BDX

    So I spent some time yesterday researching the different functions of the Kilo 6 ballistic solutions. After not being able to find the answer's online or in manuals I placed a call to Applied Ballistics and here's what I found: 1) If just using the Sig BDX app and/or going off of the DOPE...

    Sig BDX

    I’m trying to get ready for my first NRL Hunter and here’s the dilemma I’m running into when trying to develop my shot process… if shooting under 800 yards using the angle compensated range and subsequent ballistics solution displayed in the Kilo 6k would be good to go (assuming I true the...

    Sig BDX

    Are you utilizing the AB lite ballistics solver in them? I recently got a pair in preparation for doing a couple NRL Hunter matches and have been messing around with them. Ranging seems to be dead on, but now I am trying to figure out if I should 1) true the ballastics data in the BDX app and...

    What are you shooting in your Sig Cross 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Hunting buddy has one, shoots .5-.75 MOA at 200yds with 147gr ELDM handloads, MV ~2580 if I recall.

    Slight upgrade from a Bighorn action

    I've got a 6.5CM Solus and really like it. I've got quite a few X-Bolts and was looking for something customizable for shooting NRL or PRS matches for practice. The 60* Action is smooth (maybe not as much as a 1.5k-2k action), comes with the integrated 20moa, easily serviceable bolt, can take...

    Changing my stock out? Will it affect accuracy?

    According to McMillan their inletting is so good no bedding is required, just insure you torque the action screws to the proper spec. I used McMillan's recommended specs. While not a uber tack driver, I've got a Dirty-'06 Xbolt that I swapped over to a Game Warden 2.0 and my 10 shot group...

    7 PRC Bergara

    I don't think your FPS is an issue of the rifle, but more of the ammo. I've got a Browning X-bolt Pro McMillan Long Range SPR (which is a ridiculously long name for a rifle) in 7PRC and out of that 20" barrel I'm getting 2737 from a newer lot of 180eldm, 2823 from the older lot (hornady factory...

    My 7PRC Load Dev Journey

    Yea, I too found that the mono's like that jump. I landed at .060 with the .308 165gr CX for best groups

    My 7PRC Load Dev Journey

    Just out of curiosity, what was your seating depth or COAL with the 160gr CX bullets? On my '06 I found seating them deeper (away from the lands/jam) improved groupings.

    My 7PRC Load Dev Journey

    Interesting results so far... glad to see the hand rolled stuff is bumping velocities up. I just started breaking in a new 7prc Xbolt and am looking forward to reloading for it. Thanks for the leg work here!

    Best practice for simple DOPE card?

    I’ve had great experiences with the 4dof app, as long as you take the time make sure you inputs for using the Zero Angle are as accurate as possible. If using zero range it’s a bit less accurate. @OP, For your issue with the come up values may be a discrepancy with your “rifle info setup”...
