    Barrel life 6.5 CM vs 308 Win

    Maybe I'm a curmudgon... Run the shit out of the 6.5, shoot the same load as your other guns, and just keep running it. If you are lucky enough to have your daughter shoot out a barrel, buy another! It is money and time well spent.

    Dryfiring AI Competition Trigger

    Its not delicate. Run it and run it hard. If it wont stand up to the living room why would you take it into the field?

    Top suppressors for utmost accuracy

    Thunderbeast sets the standard. For both the suppressor and service when something unexpected happens. My co-worker carbon welded his can to his barrel (new suppressor owner, not enough cleaning) and TBAC absolutely took care of him.

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    Having worked with some other devices, I'm getting tired of paying for AB in each device.... My Kestrel, my Binos, and my watch. If they would make it available to other developers to take their calculated solution, we could quit doing everything bass ackwards in field matches. Look at the...

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    Does it Bluetooth to a phone/phone app for things like remote trigger/current range? The sigs do that and it's pretty convenient in some situations. But these look really nice! Anyone taking preorders?

    Suppressors Help Me Choose My Next Can.

    I own a bunch. The only cans I ever consider anymore are Thunderbeast. It's simply not worth the time, effort, and tax stamp for anything else. They sponsor shooting sports, have a top rated product, are transparent with their customers and have phenomenal customer service. Hub is an...

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    Not sure, my calypso wouldn't connect to anything for a day of monkeying around. I updated, charged, updated again, no dice... Then magically it just started working and has been fine. Can you connect to the calypso from your phone?

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    My understanding, unless things have changed, is that the wind from the calypso wind meter only works with the calypso app, NOT the ab solver. If things have changed that would be great. I have been working on some alternatives but documentation from the garmin side tends to be fitness...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    I tested mine outdoors with 5 other people on a firing line. I had 8-10' to the people on either side of me, I was shooting suppressed. The garmin picked up only my shots, and every one of them. Super impressed.

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    I waited for about 8 weeks, no solution or update. I asked if they would RMA the watch for another, which they did, service was top notch. New watch works perfectly, hopefully they figure out what is going on with the old one. I really suspect software/firmware, like there is some bad state...

    Hornady 90fps ES in same lot of ammo 6.5CM 140gr ELD-M LOT#3230329 (HOWA1500 rifle)

    It was decent at one point. But an SD going from 12 to 40 doesn't hack it. The kraft guy has a good discussion on the relative important of SD. Single digit SD's isn't really that important for most shooters. Nice, yes. But not usually the reason most people miss.

    Hornady 90fps ES in same lot of ammo 6.5CM 140gr ELD-M LOT#3230329 (HOWA1500 rifle)

    I've shot a lot of Hornady 6mm, 6.5mm, and 6.5PRC factory match. Mostly 108s, 140s, and 147. Starting about 3 years ago the SD went above 15. Before that it was great. I've still shot a lot of it but buy other factory match if I can't reload now.

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    After 9 months of flawless operation in about 12-15 matches, my Garmin now 'reboots' as soon as my rangefinder sends a range in AB model. I opened a support ticket with Garmin, but so far they seem stumped. It has been escalated to 'the engineers'.

    Garmin Tactix 7 Unoffical Support Thread

    My watch reboots after connecting to the rangefinder now. It worked great since I bought it, but I'm guessing a software update was untested or my watch is malfunctioning. Reboots as soon as a range is received. Garmin support is helpful but slow. Hopefully this gets resolved or I'll switch...

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    I don't disagree with you, but I don't think anyone is trying to be a terrorist and intentionally make things not work. Except for the folks at Kestrel. I had to reverse engineer their protocol to make apps that could talk to it. They can suck it. It could be the garmin, or it could be the...

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    Bluetooth isn't enough, it needs to know the specific protocol used between the devices to transmit blocks of information; It does not have to have applied ballistics in it per se (like the vectronix terrapin). The fancy steiner 1535nm rangefinder for example has bluetooth but won't talk to...

    PRS Talk Stone Glacier Kiowa 3200 vs Kifaru Equivalent

    I've been using Kifaru for years, one of their discontinued tactical models. Fehu outdoors has a pack I'm looking to try when it ships. Seems like its kinda purpose built for better organization but much smaller than say, the 3200. I only shoot field matches, not PRS, so I'm not carrying that...

    Garmin tactix 7 Pro Ballistics

    Will the garmin take the direction of fire data from the Sig10k/8k units? I realize wind direction would still have to be entered manually. Also, is there a better description of what pairing with a kestrel will offer? I use the garmin and the kestrel independently right now.

    I'll Post This Here - Hornady's Podcast #50. I thought it was one of their best, but some reloaders might not like what they see....

    You forgot the implicit message of "SD doesn't matter in our factory match ammo" I have some hornady match still left over from 4-5 years ago, it shoots single digit SD's over 10 rounds, the new stuff is like 35 over 10.

    Sig Kilo 10k ABS

    I use the sig10k with the tactix 7 elite, and it works well. Electronically/bluetooth, my setup links instantly and without fuss, and it works so well I use it in find/range/shoot comps. I have used the same sig10k with the kestrel, and it is pretty slow and the linking works, but its slower...
