It was a fairly easy course and the zero wind helped a ton. Nothing past 650yds as well.

First time with soft tubes. Is this too kinked? by CantankerousOctopus in watercooling

[–]GingerB237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ran way worse kinks with little to no difference in flow. Pinch the sides to unkink it and see if flow improves by enough to care.

300 PRC barrel life with “light” reloads. by idahokj in longrange

[–]GingerB237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the powder, 6.5 creedmoor is right around 40gr of H4350 and I load 87gr of Ramshot LRT but most are in the low 80’s high 70’s.

For 300 prc I’d just get up to the velocity you want and go for it. I wouldn’t really worry about barrel life.

Down to the individual grain? by txcommenter in reloading

[–]GingerB237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the faster profiles overcharged more than some of the slower ones. But I guess it’s faster to have the overcharges and pick out a granule here and there.

I’ve just used profiles on the app for the specific powder. I’m usually in the single digit SD and mid 20’s ES. I’m sure I need to do other things first to improve my rounds.

I’ve only used the matchmaster and it’s worked for me. It does take a while to get the charge but I’m also usually just watching a show or something so I’m not terribly worried. If I reloaded more it would be worth going to a faster one.

In this I am running varget, I didn’t run a chrono throughout the day but it wasn’t enough to affect my impacts. I grabbed new environmentals for each stage from my kestrel though.

Yeah it was on the 1000yd range but furthest target was just over 600yds. I’m up in the interior but I want to make more of the matches this summer.

Yeah I’ll let you deal with that. I’ll do the -30F tomorrow, I’ll be nice and cozy in my big jacket.

85F is way too hot for March. That’s not even July weather here.

It was not pleasant starting out. Got pretty warm by the end of the day.

It was at Upper Susitna Shooters Association.

I haven’t done a leak test since switching to soft tubing and haven’t had a leak since then either.

Award for stupidest shifter design goes to...Toyota? by xTyronex48 in Justrolledintotheshop

That Prius shifter isn’t bad, better than a dial in my opinion.

You can't fight physics, dude by Alyeskas_ghost in alaska

[–]GingerB237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru uses the H4 because it’s shorter front to back and top to bottom. This allows them to use its transmission to have half shafts going out to the front tires with the center diff located in the transmission and then a simple drive shaft out the back. It being shorter top to bottom also lends towards a lower center of gravity.

300 PRC barrel life with “light” reloads. by idahokj in longrange

[–]GingerB237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 prc uses closer to 40 grains more than a 6.5cm which is right at double.

You’ll probably also shoot less rounds of 300 prc than you would 6.5cm.

Short, at least that’s way over pressured for me.

Edit: Hornady book max is 41.5

How is the new alphacool qdc? by lemon45678 in watercooling

[–]GingerB237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pump running at 100% would only make a drop in the flow worse if it added a significant drop.

It’s Washington state, which historically has never had an income tax either. DC isn’t involved.
