    Sheep feet insoles

    I’m thinking about trying a pair of these as well. Not sure if I have any issue with arches or not but I definitely have issues with how I walk. The outside rear corner of my boots/shoes wear extremely fast. I also walk duck footed, I guess you call it, the fronts of my feet point almost at...

    It’s worth it, hope it works well for you.

    A&D FX120i

    ?? Not sure exactly what you mean by gimmicky? The autothrow trickles to 1 kernel on its own its not any more chance than doing it by hand. If it throws over, which if you have it set up correctly only happens maybe 1 out of 20 throws maybe, you just pull a kernel or add if you want to be that...

    Coal/cbto

    No, I knew you were not saying they were the same, I probably worded that wrong. Think we are on the same page. Hopefully the op is too.

    Coal/cbto

    I thought perhaps he was trolling too but I don’t think so. On top of that it still not exactly the same. If you are checking measurements from bullet to bullet or every few bullets by measuring COAL you are not actually getting the true variance between lands and ogive which is what is...

    A&D FX120i

    It’s well worth it. I have nothing negative to say about the scale or the rest of the set up. I have not had any drift problems. I checked some weights on it when I first got it and compared it to my beam scale and everything looked good. Of course I don’t trust that beam scale. I check...

    Coal/cbto

    @OXN939 yea that is how I see it. Out of curiosity (even though I already knew from previous measurements) I went ahead and measured some of the bullets I had laying around. All I currently had on hand were .264-143 ele-x, .264-140amax, .308-208amax and .224-95smk’s. This wasn’t super...

    A&D FX120i

    I use it but it’s with the auto throw/auto trickler. I’m not sure how valuable it would be to me without the auto throw/trickler. It is accurate and fast but without the auto throw I’m not sure how much time it would save me or how much more consistent my loads would be The A&D scale does not...

    Help Me Understand My Data

    I started looking back at some of my old load work up data and my max load before I started seeing pressure signs was around 2870fps. That was with alpha brass, h4350, 143eld-x in a 26” barrel. I would guess going to a 21.5” barrel you would loose 60-100fps and 10-20fps maybe with the heavier...

    Help Me Understand My Data

    I resize and run expander mandrel on new brass just to make it consistent. Don’t have any evidence it helps anything but when seating bullets you can feel the neck tension is more consistent. If I didn’t size them you could feel a bullet seat hard every one in awhile. When doing load work up...

    Help Me Understand My Data

    I would have to run/look up some numbers just to make sure about the velocity. My statement earlier was off the top of my head about the 2700-2750fps and honestly I haven’t really been doing any major load work up this past year so my mind maybe a little rusty on actual numbers. Charge weights...

    Help Me Understand My Data

    I’ll second what @mvrk28 said. I have used a RBCS electronic scale in the past and then went to a RBCS beam scale. Have not used a Hornady scale but many people said the RCBS scales would not work for them at all. Both worked ok for me, the biggest issue was just watching for drift with the...

    High End Brass for Hunting Hand Loads

    I pretty much agree. I’ve definitely started to reduce brass prep that I used to do. Much of the prep that I did was based off of info that some other people had gathered and there was enough info out there that showed weight sorting and some other brass prep steps could help. I had also...

    Another caliber post

    I agree on not using CM on elk. I started shooting the creedmoor before it was so popular with all the hunters and supposed long range shooters. It was starting to become popular but everyone wasn’t acting like it wasn’t the greatest thing ever. Now I don’t even want to tell people I shoot a...

    Another caliber post

    Those on your list I would go with 6.5 CM or possibly the 6.5 PRC if your wanting something for hunting and range play. 6.5 CM slightly less powder, lose a little in performance but not much, tons of data and loads already out there. 6.5cm is fun to shoot and easy on recoil. Like someone said...

    Tripod- Center column or no center column?

    This is my setup, don’t really care for the Manfroto, to heavy and don’t like the leg adjustments. The other is a Leofoto which I hope to replace with an RRS but won’t be very soon. I will pack the leofoto, it is kind of heavy but super stable and it does have an extension column that will...

    Tripod- Center column or no center column?

    I like no center column because when I use a center column it just makes the tripod too unstable for my liking especially with spotters. If you have a fairly stable tripod all your doing by having a center column is making it pretty unstable. If your already running something like a cheaper...

    Chronograph Reccomendations

    Its not a matter of not working. I have an optical chronograph too and as far as showing a number on the screen that is close to what it should be, it does that. Ive also ran it back to back with another optical chronograph and the numbers were off, cannot remember how much but it was enough to...

    High End Brass for Hunting Hand Loads

    I said the higher quality brass is higher quality in every aspect, which includes the durability or ability to be shot more. You are right there are times when it’s worth the cost. I will say that I made an assumption and didn’t state that, most people I know including my self, do not reload...
