    Consensus on ARC mags?

    Only issues I've had with ARC mags were if they got dirty, such as if I dropped them or if it was a particularly dusty day with lots of wind. As a result I usually toss mine in an ultrasonic cleaner whenever I get home from the range or a match, keeps them cleaned up nicely, and then if one of...

    AutoTrickler V4

    Greg has actively pushed false or misleading information on multiple occasions specifically regarding the accuracy or consistency of electronic scales and powder dispensing systems. I'd take somebody who adds nothing to the community over a guy whose contributions are a net negative.

    ATF TO START CONFISCATION OF FRT TRIGGERS TOMORROW

    That's because they're not actually doing anything about Rare Breed. The only thing they did actually raid/confiscate was BDU's supply of WOT triggers, which are a separate product that supposedly infringes on Rare Breed patents.

    ATF TO START CONFISCATION OF FRT TRIGGERS TOMORROW

    The ATF doesn't even have the balls for anyone besides a single field office to claim that the FRT is illegal. I'll believe confiscation is happening when they start knocking on doors or release an official announcement, because a fake email doesn't seem like a reliable source to speculate on.

    Reloading Equipment WTB case dryer not manufactured in china

    Food dehydrators have always dried brass for me in about an hour or less. Make sure to wait a few minutes after turning it off to get the brass out of the trays though, it gets toasty enough to hurt.

    Annealing Brass - Science vs Myths

    Actually no, you cannot do 750F for 7 seconds. Temperatures of 750F will anneal brass, but only if held for nearly an hour. It is not high enough temperature to flash anneal the brass. 750F for one hour in an oven will anneal the neck of brass to a hardness of 117HV in the middle of the neck...

    Cold & Snow

    Had 6+ inches on the car last night that I cleared off before going to bed, and another 6+ inches piled on it already by morning. Inside one of the initial evac zones for the big Colorado fire, so definitely much needed.

    You can't go wrong with any of the offerings from Furman, available both in a rack format and as something similar to a surge protector that you just plug into any old outlet. Just note that their SS-6B power strip has relatively minimal filtration/actual power conditioning and is mostly a surge...

    That test was 180 cartridges, loaded over the course of about 5 hours the afternoon before. The ATV3 was powered on for the entire duration of the powder measuring portion, which took about 100 minutes for each device due to changing powder weights and discarding any charges that were XX.X2gr or...

    Your reading comprehension is even crappier than your blatantly false claims. I specifically said the Prometheus does NOT have any sort of drop tube effect, because the powder is released from below the top of the funnel. If you use an ATV3 and drop your powder from even flush with the top of...

    The Prometheus itself uses a short funnel to put the powder into the cases. I believe it's an RCBS, matching the powder throw supplied with it, with inserts made by Brand for different cartridge diameters. Powder drops from the weighing funnel (just a metal cone with a stopper ball to seal the...

    No, my measured data from testing outweighs an opinion that you refuse to explain and which lacks any factual basis. You're claiming that measuring out the same charge weight using with two different methods will result in the method that is both less-precise (0.05gr resolution rather than...

    super trickler

    That's the thing - the only change you'll see from improvements in charge weight consistency is better SD/ES or more consistent velocity from range trip to range trip. You won't see other changes. Your zero won't shift any more or less than the velocity dictates. Your groups won't be any more...

    Major Flaw With AB Kestrel 5700 Elite

    That's good to know, I thought it was just a limitation of the Applied Ballistics software but it must have something to do with the calculation hardware inside the Kestrel if it works on a desktop. Out of curiosity, would anybody with a Kestrel 5700X be willing to see if the maximum wind speed...

    SOLD Prometheus Gen 3

    Did you mean to say Prometheus Gen II, or is this some sort of not-yet released upgrade to the Gen II currently available (with the aforementioned wait) from Brand?

    ES/SD are the quantifiable forms of measuring whether something does or doesn't improve the consistency of ignition in your reloads. Measuring weight of the powder charge more accurately is all well and good, but it doesn't mean anything when it comes to measurable improvements in your accuracy...

    You can disagree all you like, it still doesn't change the fact of the matter that you can still load to crappy SD/ES values using a Prometheus and you can load with excellent SD/ES values using other methods (SuperTrickler, ATV3, and ATV4 included). I personally have loaded ammunition using a...
