Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

You guys are definitely convincing me to make sure not to update my software. I'm looking to keep the 1k+ round streak alive of never having the Garmin fail to capture a rifle shot. It has even done well enough with pistol rounds given that I never have it positioned within it's recommended alignment window when using it on handgun as the little shelf at all the pistol ranges is well below bore level.

I wonder what they changed to cause this issue with dropped shots? Did they change something in the units determination of whether a shot is from the intended shooter or an adjacent lane? I don't think those settings needed to be messed with. I have had a lot range sessions with dudes shooting in adjacent lanes and have not had any of their shots mistakenly read as one of mine.
Yeah leave yours alone. I will add I had no other rifles around me, I was shooting in a giant bay all alone. @Garmin please fix this.

Which Shot Timer

I upgraded to the Kestrel timer when my 10+ year old PACT timer finally died. I am very happy with it especially the water resistance. I was shooting with a group from my church yesterday running pistop drills when it started to rain lightly. We ran 2 more sets before packing up. I had no worries about the timer getting wet from the light rain. We now have 2 Kestrel timers at work after my buddy who runs the range was shooting with me an played around with my Kestrel. If you take one of their free online classes they usually give you a 1 time coupon for 10% off anything from the website. I had signed up for the advanced Kestral weather meter course after upgrading my sportsman to the elite software. About 2 hours before the class they had to cancel it so everyone got a 20% off coupon which I used to buy my timer with.

7-6.5 PRC

I understand that Berger 180s are the go to bullets for 7PRCW. However Hornady ELDM 180s and ATIP 190s have superb BC-s and should be as good or even better? Even if the ELDM 180 might not be as consistent as the Berger 180, ATIP-s should be top of the line and just as good if not better in consistency? Has anyone done extensive side by side comparisons?

Why is the Berger 180s "the" bullet choice for 7PRCW? Or have I misread the forums.

Cleaning jags and brushes with caliber markings?

I use these to keep caliber or rod specific items together:


If I buy a bulk pack of brushes I'll keep the label in the bag.
I use these with a label showing the specific caliber. Each case gets a jag, brush, and mop. I will change the tape cartidge in the label maker to different colors, white on black for rifles and black on white for pistols. I will do the same with the bulk brushes. They stay in the original bag with a table.
