I currently use StrelokPro and I don't see that functionality. Any app recommendation to do as your stating? Figured it out!

My local range is pretty good with re-investing membership dues back into the club. They recently built some indoor heated rifle ranges. They have (2) 100y tubes and a single 200 yard tube. The tubes has a e target system with screen to show groups/data like FPS. The way the FPS is was explained...

Sorry. Life’s been a little busy. Since I last posted here’s what I’ve done: - I pulled the bullets from the rounds in the aforementioned. I’m just not comfortable seating the bullets further due to pressure concerns. I’m new reloading and I don’t want to press my luck. - I took some brass...

I sent a email in to Hart and Bartlein. Thanks for all of the input.

I have a pretty new Weatherby Vanguard in 270 win. I picked it up when Gander Mountain shut the doors. I think I picked it up when it was like 35% off or something. I’ve never really got into it. I’ve maybe put a could of boxes through it. I really like my .30 cals and my magnums. I’d like to...

Sorry for the delay in response. Here is some pictures and video... With my reloads: Video: Federal ammo:

Guess who’s back. Went to the range yesterday. What I did differently: Set the powder dispenser to manual vs automatic 1st session was in the 70’s, second was snow and a lot of windier. Yesterday, it was in the 80’s with no wind. changed my rest setup - didn’t work in my favor. Overall: I...

Rifle: .308 Rem 700 converted to AICS magazine feed. I just had the rifle bedded by my favorite local gunsmith. Yesterday was my first range day with some new reloads. Backstory on the reloads: I measured the ogive with once fired brass (previous factory ammo I ran through it) and it was...

Well my groups “significantly” opened up on both loads. I think I added variation accidentally. I used brass from the same box, powder from the same bottle, same primers..etc. The variation comes from how I loaded. My first trip I had set my powder dispenser to manual. Essentially dispense a...

I actually picked up a chronograph. I didn’t want to try shooting my first reloads and trying to set up a chronograph for the first time. That’s my next trip. I updated my original post. My max powder loading for this combo in my Lyman book is 52 gr. I checked my cases during the groups I shot...

First: a big thank you to those in this community for all the help with getting into reloading. Rifle: Ruger M77 Hawkeye FTW in .30-06 Glass: Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4x12 Brass: new Starline Primers: WLR Bullets: Accubond 165 gr Powder: IMR 4064 Starting load: 47.0 gr End load 50.4 gr Max...

A buddy has a factory Rem 700 in 7mm mag. He’s had issues with the bolt locking up after about the 5th shot. He says it it only happens with factory loads with heavier grain rounds. He doesn’t reload and he’s not shooting one right after another. Rather using a spotting scope and checking his...

Awesome. Made another .005 off the ogive. No magazine issues

Newbie here be gentle... I traded some guns to shake things up with a pale. I ended up with a Ruger Hawkeye FTW in .30-06. I actually shot it a bit and helped him site it in. It’s a nice accurate rifle with some factory ammo. I bought some star line brass and some Nosler AccuBond 165 gr...

Well, just a little update. I ended up loading some Varget from the manual. I went with 165 gr bullets I had bought. I started out at 41 grains and moved up in .3 grains out to 44.3 grains. I loaded in bunches of three. I checked 1 load of the 3 on the scale. I was using a charger master lite...
