    Garmin Xero Pro First Trip to the Range

    Yep awesome gadget, it just works. I've had no problems with suppressed, braked, or no-muzzle-device rifles. Hauling less stuff to the range is great as well. Messing with the LR every session was starting to drive me nuts. Very pleased.

    Solid Bullet Recommendation 6.5 PRC

    Not trying to steer anyone from using the ELDx, but it was baffling. I load the 143 in my youngest boy's Creedmoor because they shoot well from his rifle and I have a pile of them. It performed fine on a whitetail buck he shot last year. Once the ELDx's are gone, I'll probably re-work his...

    Solid Bullet Recommendation 6.5 PRC

    Both 140 Bergers and 124 Hammers have performed wonderfully in my 2 PRCs. Both on paper and on game. Wouldn't hesitate to use either. FWIW, my Seekins PH2 loves the 124HH. My brother shot a medium sized bull elk 3 times with 143 ELDx factory loads out of his 6.5PRC this year and the first 2...

    6.5 prc expectations

    I have 2 PRCs, a custom w/22" barrel and a Seekins with 24" barrel. Seekins load with the 156 is ~2880fps, about max in fired ADG with 56g N565. The 22" barrel shoots the 156 at ~2860fps with 54g RL26 in fired ADG. If I push these up a grain more, I start to get ejector marks and/or light...

    $100K 1/2 MOA rifle?

    I've got a Custom 300WSM (9.5lbs weight) that's 1 MOA for 10 shots @100yds no matter what handloaded combo I've fed it off the bench or prone. Funny thing is, some loads looked a lot better than others- even on repeat trips - for 5 rounds. Once I go to 10 shots, 1 MOA. On top of that, when I...

    6.5 PRC & 156 EOL (Work up thread)

    Just Fed 210Ms. I do have some BR2's and CCI/Fed Mag primers but I don't want to make it worse. The BR2's may be worth trying. I'm not hell-bent on ultimate speed, but I can say with all the powders I've used, everyone of them gives heavy bolt lift and obvious case head marks by 2930fps, if...

    6.5 PRC & 156 EOL (Work up thread)

    I must have a pretty slow barrel. 24" PRC with 156 EOLs in a mid-length action. I start to see mild signs of pressure at: H1000 - 2802 N565 - 2833 RL26 - 2836 Retumbo - 2861 I've found super accurate loads with each powder so accuracy hasn't been a problem, just not seeing velocities...

    A little stumped load development virgin brass vs once fired

    Speaking of Berger's load data -slightly different bullet but the load data Berger sent me for the 156 EOL and Retumbo is the same charge weights mentioned earlier in this thread 57-63.3. Max velocity is listed at 2986fps in a 26" barrel. Seems reasonable on the velocity side of things as a...

    sako 85 300 win mag 1:11 twist

    If you hand load -Berger 190/210 VLD and 180/205 Elite's have a min twist rate of 1:11 or slower. Those are fine options for you to try for heavy/mid weight good BC bullets. The 200.20x hybrid has a nice BC as well if you are just target shooting (some shoot game with it too), it's also...

    LabRadar new app upgrade just released

    Bummer. At least you have an option with the tablet. Did you just try perhaps changing the Bluetooth AVRP version and then restarting the phone? In my mind, that is the only real change I made. I will also say that while the app seems to connect OK now, it's finicky and disconnected on me...

    SOLD/EXPIRED New 6.5 PRC Hornady Brass 3 Boxes

    I'd take a box. Sent a message, hopefully correctly.

    LabRadar new app upgrade just released

    Glad you didn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops. I never could get the old app to work regardless of how many times I restarted, wiped my Wifi/BT settings etc. I did try a restart right away after the uninstall/new app install. Would have been nice if that worked, but at least they got...

    LabRadar new app upgrade just released

    Thought I'd post an update as I contacted Labradar support about the app on my S21. Here's what they sent me: Following their instructions the best I could allowed me to finally connect to the LR via the app at home. We'll see if it's consistently reliable at the range. A couple of points in...

    LabRadar new app upgrade just released

    Still cannot connect with my Galaxy S21. I have the Labradar on firmware 1.2.7. What a disappointment.
