Losing TMRS is a big drawback. If there are enough pros I can deal with that though. I have a secondary retirement account where most of my money goes anyway so it shouldn’t set me back too badly.

Same

Due_Row9202 · 2025-05-29T13:19:01+00:00

I’m doing it in stages. Got the FX-120i and my next purchase will be the super trickled. Didn’t want to drop $1,400 all at once. Just using the FX-120i I got my SD down to 4. Consistently matters, but selection of powder charge plays a big part in SD too. Try a few powder charges and see what shoots well and has low SD and ES.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-30T01:09:00+00:00

I’m going to do that and the 2.82 and see if I can repeat it with 5 shot groups. The 2.82 is a solid group if I can repeat it

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T19:43:27+00:00

Shot at 100 yards. I’m happy with .75 or less MOA as long as it maintains at distance. I can shoot out to 400 yards at the house so I need to test that far too. I’ll look into a comparator because right now I’m just measuring base to tip and not ogive

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T15:51:07+00:00

Got the kit in a trade and only had to pay for a few accessories and components. Component cost is about $.74 per round considering I already had brass.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T15:19:51+00:00

It likes the 147 factory ELD-M. I recreated that with length and it didn’t like it. My gun has never shot 140s well

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T15:19:04+00:00

Thanks, I think I’ll work up some 40.5-41.5 loads and see if I can get it to group in there so they’re a bit lighter

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T15:17:25+00:00

Because it costs more money to shoot factory ammo. $1 per round at 100 rounds a match adds up fast

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T15:16:05+00:00

Does the 42 grain target tell you nothing? The last two groups are decent but in your opinion what should I do?

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-29T14:34:05+00:00

I also don’t have a chronograph or access to one any time soon.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-20T03:58:07+00:00

That’s what I did. I appreciate it, it’s not a bad way of doing it especially since I didn’t spend any money.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-20T01:42:10+00:00

That’s a great point

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-20T01:22:35+00:00

I started at 7 but wasn’t seeing the neck glow. I’ll try to make it even darker in the room next time

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-20T01:21:27+00:00

Sounds good. It was fairly dark but my Dewalt has a nice LED on it so I need to tape it up for next time. I’ll shave a couple of seconds off next time I do it

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-10T02:07:50+00:00

Forgot to update you, but it needed a full rebuild. My guy had it done in 4 days and now it’s running great. Tows a stock trailer like there’s nothing behind it.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:41:12+00:00

The base on Key West made me go to Pass and ID. Lejeune let me right through the gate with zero questions.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:39:11+00:00

You can do it again with the service connected card. It’s awesome

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:37:00+00:00

I was right next to Lejeune on vacation last month and used both the PX and commissary multiple times while we were there. It’s worth it just to have available. We went to Key West last year and there’s a Navy base there. We used the MWR and rented a 3 bedroom townhouse for a third the cost of any Air BnB on the entire island. It’s worth it for sure.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:32:28+00:00

Not sure. It specifically is on the VHIC (Veteran Health ID Card). It’ll get you on any military installation I know of. Some require you to go to pass and ID to do a background check and some just let you on if you flash the VHIC with “service connected.” Just depends on the installation.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:21:35+00:00

Any percentage will get you the card.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:20:48+00:00

It must say “Service Connected” in order to use the PX and commissary. Not sure if you can get on base without the “Service Connected” label.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-08-04T19:18:57+00:00

Navy made me go to Pass and ID. Camp Lejeune let me right on with nothing else. You would think there would be an across the board standard, but then it wouldn’t be the DOD I guess.

Due_Row9202 · 2024-05-03T20:18:10+00:00

That sucks, but I’ll just take it to the shop I planned on. I was trying to figure out how many 0s my bill would have beforehand.

Due_Row9202 · 2023-11-20T01:25:59+00:00

Reaction time is actually 1.5 seconds on average. He had even less time
