    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    Can’t comment on the coating issue - who can decipher marketing BS anyway? What I can say is I’ve run the 10x50 mil version for years as a do-it-all GP bino and it’ll probably be around until I peg out, as I haven’t succeeded in breaking it. For context, I used them during several periods in the...

    Fireforming 22CM from 22-250

    You can do it - but you’ll end up with a shorter neck. Can still shoot well but not ideal way to get 22CM case formed (others may think differently). Give it a try and see how you get on.

    Leica 3200com (edited)

    As these units cost around $4.5Kish in Australian dollars, this thread just saved me a fair pile of cash. You wonder sometimes if these companies bother to critically examine user feedback and actually do something about fixing these issues. With the Leica .COM units, it’s hardly a new problem...

    This ^^^ . I have the new Henderson after selling a Giraud and it’s a fantastic unit.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite + Kestrel HUD + Terrapin X

    Thank you @Kestrel Ballistics .Can the raw (wind speed) data be displayed, or just the correction/hold value in mils, etc.?

    Kestrel 5700 Elite + Kestrel HUD + Terrapin X

    Is there an option to have base wind speed displayed in the HUD via real-time update from the Kestrel 5700? Looking for an option where I can see/know wind speed without having to lift my face off the gun. @Kestrel Ballistics @Hollywood 6mm @gnxz ?

    Roger that. Will try to source a larger diameter mandrel from somewhere.

    How is the inside neck reaming operation done on the IDOD? I don't have the IDOD option down here (or justifiable need) but have just noticed the same donut issue on the prototype case I've made. Despite use of expander mandrel, case will not slip over 21c neck turning mandrel. Donut is visible...

    Good info - cheers. Was this on the Hogdon site or similar?

    Ok - this looks pretty different from where you started, process-wise? Did you go for inside reaming to cut out process steps of mandrel expand and outside turn, or were you finding latter wasn‘t getting rid of donut at base of neck?

    Thanks - appreciate it. I’d thought to subtract about 0.015“ to 0.020” from the 1.732” figure so good to see I wasn’t completely off base.

    Range Report 6GT Project/Range Report

    Thanks gents. Greatly appreciated. I’d looked at the reamer print but didn’t know what a safe margin might be. @Dthomas3523 - on the steps you’re following to form 6.5x47 to 6GT, do you do a trim to length after the initial sizing down run? I’m lucky enough to have a Henderson trimmer but I...

    Range Report 6GT Project/Range Report

    Gents - can someone please let me know the recommended trim length for 6GT, or length of new Hornady or Alpha brass? I'm having to make my first cases from 6.5x47 and I've never seen a 6GT in the wild down here. I might have missed it somewhere. If so, apologies.

    Terminus Actions

    Hey mate - sorry for the late reply/question - but did the zeus action drop into that MDT chassis without any need for chassis modifications?

    Pros & cons. AB vs Patagonia

    If you could keep us updated, that’d be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Have used PB before but the windows interface wasn‘t great unless you were using on a windows PC for detail work.

    Seems to be a fair variance? I've never been overly concerned with case weight variance unless it's impacting internal volume. Looks like (based off these figures) to be an estimated loaded round neck OD of 0.269 to 0.271...ish? Guess that's not a problem if you're setting neck tension with an...

    @NorCal Vu - you are a legend. Thanks very much.

    Thanks very much. Would be great to see - final piece of the puzzle for me, at least.

    Range Report 6GT Project/Range Report

    @NorCal Vu - could we push things a bit further here and get some feedback (or video, even better) of the GT feeding through std AICS & AW mags? I think you've said previously there were no issues but just wanting to see if time and further testing had changed anything? Would be much...

    Syria Cluster-Fck

    Mate - you are an ignorant cunt. Kurds were central to the fight against Daesh, and still hold a bunch of them on ice. Kurds have done more heavy lifting than anyone else did in that fight - not behind a keyboard but on the ground where it actually counts, and at coalition request - not the...
