    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    I shouldnt have said my magneto has missed a shot. If I didn't get strap tightened up perfectly on a polished SS, it would slip and show inconsistent velocity. A piece of hockey stick tape on barrel would give traction for rubber pad and make it act fine.

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    I try to aim it directly at target, at end of forend on longer barrels and closer to me on shorter barrels, about 4-5" to the right, clear of bipod leg. It's pretty well aligned parallel to bore, I would "think" it's aimed pretty good? I was really hoping there was something simple that could...

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    Yeah, I really liked the garmin at first, seemed spot on. Sold my magnetospeed to a buddy in another state. Then I started noticing small quirks with my garmin. My wife just spent 30min trying to upload these files to garmin and wasn't able to. I'm calling them on Monday and they can do some...

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    Yes, I don't get into the weeds on electronic stuff if it works out of the box. About only thing I changed is to show es,ave, sd on string. They did say they'd never saw this or heard about this. I kind of thought they might want unit back in hand to fully vet, instead of having me play mad...

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    This was the last session that they wanted me to sync to app so they could look at data. Pretty sure I named it correctly, also explained load procedure and test in the note section.

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    Yeah, both were on their own tripod, sitting on concrete as I shot prone. It didn't always throw a fast shot, but the way it acted yesterday....it should be easy to determine. They called me back to get permission to access my garmin account and had me upload the last session to the app. They...

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    Yes sir, they asked me that and also had me look at unit and read off some current firmware. They said it was current, and I just updated it a mo ago.

    Garmin xero is acting wonky

    Bought a xero last Feb and have been using it for the last yr. I noticed early on that sometimes it would show the first shot in a session as 60+fps faster than the rest. Not always, and when it happens it was usually first rd. Fouled barrel, cold barrel, warm barrel, doesnt seem to matter...

    So, what was different in your reloading between first and 2nd rd of testing? Or are we gonna chalk it up to barrel? On 2nd rd, did you do more than 3 rd groups/velocity strings? You kind of conflated those. Initial load work showed promise, even bragged on best group youd ever shot...

    7mm PRC

    Theres nothing wrong about trying different components to experiment. Not sure I'd try to call that "saving components," though. H1000 looks like a solid load, if it checks out at 1k. If it was me, I'd be taking the best load of those and load up 20. Retest for a 10rd group at 100 for...

    Trigger hanger adjustment vs. sear engagement: Which one first?

    You want the med top sear on the bix with a cdg. Honestly, the adjustable trigger hanger on the cdg has nothing to do with top sear height. In other words, the correct top sear height will determine how much overlap, or how little, you have between the cocking piece and the top sear shelf...

    Velocity of Loads

    They might be fine in a 12 if you drive them hard enough. Just looking around on the web, guys said it would not stabilize in a 14tw, at all. I always figured since length is close to 69smk, actually a horn 68hpbt is real close, and both of those recommend 9tw or faster. I always erred on the...

    Velocity of Loads

    Yes and no, depends on bullet construction. An all copper bullet is lighter than a lead/copper bullet. Equal weights of those yield a longer all copper bullet. I'm not sure what the core is in that 53 vmax, or if it's got a larger void behind the tip, but it is significantly longer than a 50...

    Anyone have the details on the event that triggered the CZ600 recall?

    i bought a trail for thermal night use. I also watched alot of reviews on it and most of the guntubers were using green tip and other shit ammo. A few were using decent ammo but we're shooting from a card table with shit rests. Here's mine, confirming zero at 65yds(gives me a mpbr of 265 yds...

    Velocity of Loads

    Im pretty sure that 53gr vmax requires faster than 12 tw, it is looong bullet and not really far bc-wise from the 69smk.

    7mm PRC

    My test with stabil hd, win mag primers and 180eldm was less than great, in fact it was pretty sad. I fouled the bore with some factory 180eldm, ave 2895 fps over 10rds. I almost hate showing the stabil hd groups, I started to wonder if I forgot how to shoot after the 3 weeks of snow /ice on...

    7mm PRC

    I've got some hornady brass from factory 180eldm. I'm gonna play with stabil hd, win large mag primers, and 180eldm. Hopefully they prove better than the 183smk, the 183 looked good initially forgot to start chronograph for first shot

    I've been using adg brass, cci 200 and 70gr h1000 with 183smk and 184 f open. Smk are running 2998 and the f opens are running 3025. I quit the 183smk due to bullet inconsistencies, as much as .025 diff in length. When I watermarked the loads at 950 and 1400, the smk had 3x as much vert...
