I have been having good luck with h4831 @41.2gr in a 27" barrel

I think you mean the CRF 1200 and CRF 1600? The 1200 and 1600 look almost identical, however they are not the same. The max range I could get consistantly with my 1200 was in the 1300 yard range with a fresh battery, the 1600 is ~1700 yards. So I think the 1600 is using a better diode, or...

Mine has been ranging fine and in fact it seems to be faster than my CRF 1200. I have been pretty impressed with its beam divergence and range. Vegetation is consistantly ranged ~1750 yards in bright daylight. The inclinometer seems to be on as I compared it to a laser level over a 800 yard...

What was worng with it? I am not liking the function button on mine. I shoot a range and if I press the function button too hard it says "off" and shuts down. But if I lightly press it it gives me the good info. Seems like a bad idea to make the button you use to quickly get info before a...

I guess this is like the Sony walkman; first we make it big, then smaller and smaller. Instead of just producing something that combines a ballistic calculator with a LRF, they slowly incorporate functions over time until we end up with what we want. So I figure by 2015 and after upgrading 6...

FYI: 1 pound/square inch = 2.036 020 657 6 inch of mercury [0 °C] 1 pound/square inch = 68.947 572 8 millibar 13 pound/square inch = 26.468 268 549 inch of mercury [0 °C] We can probably get by with multiplying the psi number by 2 to get in/Hg. It is probably close enough for most of us...

I was just reading it, it looks like holdover is displayed in inches (Eng units). That is wonderful, I always wanted to know how many inches or centimeters 7.6 mils or 26.1 MOA is......Sheesh, I wish these guys would have referred to some quality scopes in deciding what units of holdover to...

I do not believe density alttitude is necassary. That is more of an aviation thing where you want to know how an aircraft is going to behave given the temp/pressure. A hot day at 6500 feet may be the equivelant of a cool day at 7500 feet. It is describing the density of the air. One...

I am glad to hear you are happy with it and ranges you are getting; it makes me feel better about selling my 1200. Umm, but the OP said it does display angle, and on Leica's website "barometric pressure, angle of incline and temperature display" It is the units used in the pressure reading I...

Well, i am a little miffed. i didn't do much research before selling my crf-1200 and ordering the 1600. With fresh batteries in the 1200 i could max it out at ~1430 yards. I assumed the 1600 would have no problem with 1800, but it looks like they are using the same diode and probably just...

I just fired a few rounds to get it zero at 500. After a few shots i walked it into a spray paint can, with crazy winds. I am pretty impressed with the groups considering the load probably isn't the best, the trigger makes me sad, and the stock should be melted down and turned into a septic...

Well, i just confirmed my incompetence again. I just finished re-doing everything again and the base looks relatively true to bore. However, i also discovered how much windage i can get through the torque sequence of the ring screws. I retorqued them, but this time i torqued one side of the...

Drake, I feel your pain. I bought a 700 SPS in .243 a year ago and just got around to scoping it a couple weeks ago. I am using a EGW 20 MOA one piece base and an IOR scope which I pulled from my AR-10. On the AR-10 the scope required little to no windage adjustment. On this 700 I had to...

Groups like I posted are rare for me becuase the wind is usually howling here in southern Utah and I am always playing around with loads. I continually form these "what if" questions; i.e. a slightly faster powder or a if I increase my velocity another 100 fps, etc. I agree that bolt guns are...

I heard Barnes is producing an all copper slug for sling shots that will have maximum weight retention. Probably pretty accurate out to 40 yards.
