I first retired from the Military (USMC) at the age of 38. Worked with a Big company (UTC) and retired from them at the age 51. Then I worked as a Gov't contractor and retired again at the age of 66 (General Dynamics). Now still working at the age of 76 for the Gov't (Naval Aviation). I enjoy...

There are so many to mention besides the easiest to set up. The Anthon was ok to set up but took to long to get all the data i needed. The FX was one button away with all the data. Gives me actual speed different velocity readings from 0-300 yards just to mention one. The best APP i've ever...

Hands down - the best - FX True Ballistics Chrono. Bought an Anthlon just to compare. Got rid of the Athlon.

I use them specifically for all my AR type rifles. I don't use them in my bolt action rifles (however, if i'm short of regular primers, they will work).

I tested my Athlon Rangecraft chrono against my FX True Ballistic Chrono today. Only tested two different Ammo (started storming). Blazer 124gr FMJ - Avg Velocity in the Athlon was 1140.9 and the FX was 1140. SD: Athlon was 17.6 and FX was 18.4. Federal 115gr FMJ: Avg. Vel: 1182 for the Athlon...

I got my shipping information from EuroOptic today also. should be here before the weekend.

I was told they finally got them in and should be shipping them very soon. I pre-ordered mine back in Jan.

Does anybody know if they added the 22 ARC cartridge yet.

THANKS

I've put together a 6mm ARC Bolt gun off a Savage 10 action with a 24" barrel, 1-7 twist when the 6mm ARC first came out rather than going to the AR platform. Tested a lot of powders. The following is the success I've had. 90-95 grain bullets – IMR 8208XBR – Decent velocity and great SDs 103-108...

I just updated the software to the latest (vr 57) and it still only goes out to 300 yards.

I have had my TBC for almost a month. Set up is a breeze and still learning how to use the App (APP could be improved - I like the speed Tracker APP better, easier to use). Used it on 22LR, .45 ACP and .308 LR10. Picked up every shot. The best is getting data out to 400 yards (both in FPS and...

I have both the ST4 and Supper Tickler. I load both for Long Guns and for Hand guns. Numerous different calibers. I've had the Supper Trickler now 4 months and have not use the ST4 at all. However, i wish I kept ST3 instead of upgrading to the ST4. My two cents.

My first AR Build was the .223 Wylde (many, many years ago). Mostly due to available ammo and components. However, the 6mm ARC is interesting in AR Platform (lack of ammo and components). However, i did build one and was lucky enough to get the components needed to build one and shoot it...
