Agreed! As I understand it, the Velociradar (<$500 - US company but unit is probably made in China?) measures 10 data points to...

For a couple shots a year, like what most hunters take on big game, getting below 140db is adequate to prevent hearing damage. You still...

You can't measure velocity over a long enough range to get an accurate BC with a commercial radar system. Either use the box BC and tune...

It might feed a little bit better since if you load long, but mostly you'll be able to get a bit more velocity from the extra case...

Assuming you can get it to feed reliably the only disadvantage is the extra weight (which is an advantage if it's not a hunting rifle or...

Every comment about ARKEN always gravitates it is good for the money - that is not the same as ARKEN is good. If I was on a $2000 budget...

I've shot quite a few. I wouldn't say I've used them extensively, but have at least a few hundred rounds through them on other folks...

Thanks for this info

My understanding is that you can ship it to a Cali FFL yourself without jumping through the extra hoops. It's FFL to FFL shipments that...

Entry and exit wounds don't mean much. Some bullets (including ELD-Xs at short ranges and Bergers by design) expand explosively and...

It all comes down to boiling points. High altitude has basically no impact. You can push them a bit colder at high altitudes since...

With my BSR-3000 I generally figured a 110gr canister was good for 2 people for 4 days, but you can stretch it past that. I went on a 4...

Jet boils kind of suck as backpacking stoves. They boil water fast, but they're bulky, heavy, and you really can't do anything other...

Two fascinating articles regarding load development, the standard "ladder test" approach, the "Satterlee" approach and velocity nodes...

TLDR: The "velocity flat spots" evaporate once enough samples are shot. Watch the targets first Grasshopper, then the chrono.....
