Weapon Light

Clearly, I didn't think this through. I recently bought this Streamlight TLR-1 http://www.opticsplanet.com/streamlight-tlr-1-hpl-long-gun-tactical-light-kit.html with the belled reflector. This reflector is supposed to better illuminate the periphery, making the TLR-1 more "flood" than &qu...

Re: Chrono Craziness

The distance I stated at 10 feet is more of a guideline, it's what USPSA uses most of the time with pistols. The 300blk (especially subs) are in the same realm. If you're shooting a regular 308 or big bore, I would recommend setting it back further. I like the previous member posting to use the whi...

Re: Chrono Craziness

A spare battery is a good thing to keep with the chronograph. Indeed. I carry one in the chrono bag. Some people are known for leaving them on :oops: Anyone we know? Distance from muzzle, once you're past the blast range is negotiable, as long as it's the same every time. Walking out to the end of ...

Re: Chrono Craziness

<photo snipped> Here's what I was talking about when using a target as a sun screen. Simple, cheap, effective. On a side note, I always set my chono up at 12' from the muzzle. When shooting .308 it will blow it off :mrgreen: but it does work great for 5.56 and.300 supers and subs. Aha! I get it now...

Re: Chrono Craziness

My guess would definitely be the brightness. If you're going to use it out in the sun, get a cardboard box to put over it with room to shoot through it still. USPSA matches do this (or a wooden box) and it works great. We're always in the sun in Arizona. Overcast, dull, grey days like back east are...

Re: Chrono Craziness

Hey Worn, Glad to hear your working on loads for the 200 yard challenge. http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=128&t=98191 Interesting. I've always though of 300 BLK subs as a 50-75 yard round. Maybe I'll give 200 a try after I get my load defined. As for the chronograph, it basically...

Chrono Craziness

I went to the range today to chrono two subsonic loads for my 300 BLK pistol, SBR and Rifle (7.5", 9" and 16" barrels, respectively.) Beautiful, cloudless Arizona day. Low-end Caldwell chrono that I've used maybe six times before. Chrono about 20' away from the bench. I used a couple ...

Re: ATF E-Forms -- Working For You?

when i scanned my trust from paper to PDF i did so at 150 DPI. that got me in under the upload limit easily for a 15 page document. and its more than enough to give a accurate, readable digital document. My version of Adobe (free version) will not let me merge single pages into a complete document....

Re: ATF E-Forms -- Working For You?

I completed one on December 1 (just received that approval today) and I did another one Feb. 17 - no problems with either one. However, the upload is excruciatingly slow. The fact that I have third-world quality Internet may be a factor but I tried numerous times when my Internet was at its best. I...
