    Garmin xero

    I own both. I’m afraid the Garmin is not a panacea. If you are solo, no other shooters, it’s great. If you are at an indoor range, the Labradar is better. Something to due with the fluorescent lighting as it picks up other shooters, typically to your left. Not sure why. Plus I found that...

    Question on finding pressure

    How many rounds down the barrel? New barrel speeds can creep up and spike an over pressure. FYI. Been there done that (MRAD 300NM 230 Berger OTM speed jump; 2915/5SD to 3225 and needed a mallet to open the bolt. Trashed the chamber(expanded 1500 thousands..) and bolt face. Be careful.

    New Garmin vs Magneto

    Garmin is the bomb. You could strap it to a rail and take it hunting. Plus it has a 6 hour battery life. Downloading data is much better than LR. Very lightweight, and start up haptics is a breeze.

    Peterson Brass &&^^%$##$%

    I’ve had that trouble with Norma, but never Peterson. I resize the neck every time, new or old brass. Just before seating, I use a Q-tip with Hornady resizing spray and circle inside the top of the neck. I’ve done loads for guys with custom chambers…oh, Nelly, what a can of worms that was….

    Ever buy once fired brass that was so out of spec if would not resize?

    Of the brass you successfully resized, how is it working in your go no go guage?

    Ever buy once fired brass that was so out of spec if would not resize?

    I’ve had this problem with some LC brass before. Imho, it’s a worn out mil chamber over expanding the brass. Risks of re fired brass.

    Ejector marks

    Those are deep ejector marks…whatever that load is, your way over. I’d back off the load. Are you in the lands? If so, get off the lands. Try seating your bullet another .010, .020,etc. deeper. On my 300 NM, my ejector marks vanished with just another .010 deeper seat I’d do a ladder of...

    Labradar help

    My LR is finicky. Especially with my 300NM un suppressed. My guess is because the LR takes 5 velocities out to 300yds(?), ergo vibrations of the blast shake the LR toward the end of TOF. I get a “LR unable to track the projectile.” Solution: magnum calibers, set offset to 18 inches and get a...

    Bullet temp in flight

    No idea without a infrared device.

    Bullet temp in flight

    Infrared can easily record inflight temps. Obtw, the SR would stretch 8 inches due to parasitic drag. Skin temperature IS a limiting factor in high performance aircraft. Ergo, that bullet will get hot, fast, at any high speed.

    Bullet temp in flight

    I know at 450 knots, the cockpit of a F-16 canopy is hot enough to burn the **** out of bare fingers (Ops tested!)
