Any of you guys had problems getting your kestrels to spit out the ranging data from the terrapin?
My bluetooth is connected and 'B' is not flashing. When I range anything, nothing happens in the kestrel...
I am hoping to go out today with 20 rounds of reloads just to see how its doing. My first reloads did .5" 5 shot group at 100yds with an ES of 18 and I have yet to play with seating depth. Fingers crossed...
My Chargemaster lite gave me fits with staying zeroed and over throwing after I tried different techniques.
I would pay the extra for the larger charge master. You can do the straw modification with it, on the lite model you can't. The dispenser tube is too large.
Well she shoots better now. Shot a fouler shot since they had cleaned the barrel before shipping (round above the 5 shot group on the right), then punched 5 shots into around .6 MOA. The surprising thing is the 5 shots of factory Lapua ammo spit out a 10fps ES at about 60F but I know in the...
Not sure what you mean by slick but the floors are scrubbed weekly with a wet brush vacuum unit made by Tennant, I would say the floors have really good traction. If you are wondering about bipod slip, the atlas rubber feet grab is like glue. I can push up on the gun and no slide...
Gun is back and the barrel is thicker for sure, but nothing crazy. Installed the AI competition trigger while I was at it. Hopefully will have some groups this weekend...
Another Update: Just received an email this morning that the new heavy barrel was installed and test fired. They said it is now shooting well under 1 MOA, looks like it will be back at my place in a few days.
Im not following you. You said you didn't read the thread but then you quote a post that is in agreement with your preconceived notion and your not sorry about it, LOL!
You are wrong on your BC's. We are talking about 338 here and not 300mag.
338 has a higher BC than the 6.5, for example: A...
I have chosen to look at ES. On my 6.5creed, when my ES is around 20, SD tends to be around 6 to 9... all rounds hit at 1,400yds on a 100% IPSC. Sometimes wind might push one a hair left or right.
Update:
Finally heard back from AI. The best they could attain with my rifle was 1 MOA at 100yds with factory lapua ammo. The person I have been dealing with there said that isn't good enough in his opinion, so now I am a candidate for a new 'heavy barrel' upgrade at no cost.
Once the new...
It's good to hear I'm not the only one with similar results. My friend bought one of the discounted 20" barrel AI 338's from euro optic and he is getting 1/2"-3/4" groups at 200yds and he sent pics to me this weekend. Only other calibers he has shot is a 6mmx47 and various 5.56/223 AR rifles
They could be right on that particular bullet, on the 338 I shoot... They were wrong.
Hornady has changed their G7 bc on their 285gr eld-m
to .417 (sectional density of .357) The G7 used to be in the upper 300's.
The Berger 300gr hybrid G7 is .421 (sectional density of .375)
I think we all...
I own warehouses and a third party warehousing and logistics company that operates in them. We recycle all of our used cardboard into bales. I will build a wall of them as a backstop. And yes, it is very loud in there. You don't really hear much of anything outside. I don't shoot my Barrett...
I appreciate all the guys offering to help me out. I spoke with AI today and they want the gun back to take a look. It could possibly be action tolerances as well...
They agree it should not be shooting 1" or larger, especially with the same quality test ammo they use.
I will keep you all up...
My vote would go to GAP or JP, and I'm a larue predatobr owner. It's a great gun but I don't think it is the best. If I wanted to strip the scope and suppressor off, it would make for a cool .308 carbine in a pinch though...
I think I will just be calling AI tomorrow and talking with them. I think everything has been exhausted and I hate to keep throwing $7 factory loads down range trying to chase something that might be past the point of no return.
