    Couple Kestrel questions

    This will be a long post but here is the background, Was using a Kestrel 5500ag and AB mobile app and now purchased the sportsman and upgraded to elite. 1, is there a way to tell or know which bullet you are using in the kestrel other than label it in the gun profile?? I assume the answer is...

    Precision Reloading for Extreme Accuracy (Bullet Seating)

    One other benefit to using a mandrel vs the expander ball that I heard is that the mandrel is expanding as its being pushed down into the case where the shoulder has the most strength. When the expander ball is expanding is on the upstroke and it could potentially pull out the headspace of the...

    Manners to arca rail issues. Help needed

    @tmanners or anyone else who may know. Can an additional t nut be added to a PRS1T stock with gen2 mini chassis at the larger hole (made for the mini chaasis barricade stop i think) in the Area 419 rail just forward of the front action screw without interference with the mini chassis? I had...

    RRS Bino adapter

    I've been using the outdoorsmans stud and mount but thinking about trying one of these. Is this mount more stable than the the outdoorsman?

    Hornady Brass

    I too would pay shipping if some one wants to send me once fired Hornady 6.5cn brass. Id like to have several thousand rounds worth.

    Bearing surface depth

    It has been awhile since I have ran factory ammo and I guess I was wrong. It isn't really hard to close but there is a slight resistance closing the bolt. When I opened it I did have to smack the handle to the rear to get it to open. Here is the round. It is definitely jambing on factory Hornady...

    Bearing surface depth

    The circular marks are not the marks im referring to in referencing jambing . It is the marks on the picture on post #4. The higher circle mark on the tall cartridge is from me turning my seating stem down on the bullet to get a starting seating reference and the lower circle is from spinning...

    Bearing surface depth

    Here is a photo of a comparison of what I came up with of a factory round on left versus my no touching the lands on the right. Maybe I should go back and do it again as I have a the new generation extractor for my nucleus that doesn't rub on the receiver like the old one did when I did this...

    Bearing surface depth

    I've not noticed it ever being hard to insert or extract a round nor have I ever measured a new round verses inserting and ejecting to see if ita pushing the bullet in deeper. Maybe I just assumed since it was leaving rifling marks on the bullet that its was being jambed.

    Bearing surface depth

    Ok, maybe this a dumb question(s), but are you saying this not a slight jamb? Also how can you tell that there is plenty of freebore?

    Bearing surface depth

    Ok, thanks. I'm just loading the 2nd firing so I guess I won't get too shook about it but keep an eye on it. I use a mandrel for expanding. As far as the chamber, you would have to ask the well known Smith on here who i got the prefit from. I'm not saying I was perfect at finding the lands as...

    Bearing surface depth

    How big of a deal is having the bearing surface below the neck shoulder junction? I'm curious after hearing Scott talk about it. My factory hornady 6.5cm 140eldm look to be seated with bearing surface below the neck shoulder junction and they have a slight jamb in both of my rifles. As I...

    Cheapest place for a Kestrel?

    Ok, interesting thanks. I did just get off phone with Kestrel as when I did the update last night I could still only put 3 guns on it when I was setting it up this morning. Looks like it updated the firmware but not to the elite version he said so they sent me another file and I will try again...
