Nice! I like the 22/250. Shot a few but never owned one.

What range do you set the LabRadar to pick up the 22/250 bullet?
Using the Doppler beam, I think I set the first yardage marker at like 10 feet. Shooting suppressed subs by the way, I switch it to pistol and it picks up (Doppler), never tried the mic.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the bunch of ya'll!
Thanks, will do.

One of my favorite calibers, .22-250 has been part of my life since I was 17yrs young. We have taken critters large and small, a friend has taken a cow Elk every year for most of his life. Head shots at ~ 200 yds with 55 gr SP. My current rifle is a R700, 26" Varmint in the HS Precision stock. Have fun 8)

Not really read up one of those. But really I am jealous :lol:
Yes, I am a Baptist, and yes I carry a gun. You might think I carry a gun because I don't trust God. Well you would be wrong. I have complete faith in my Lord. It is mankind I have no trust in

Couple of observations:

1. Sh!tloads better than a chrony you have to shoot through, especially when others are shooting at the range. I hated making others wait while I aligned the old chrony. Also the data files...nice!

2. Despite spending $500 for this thing, I'm too cheap to buy AA batteries. Since all my flashlights and lanterns use 18650 Li-ion batteries, I picked up a charger/power bank on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WM ... UTF8&psc=1
With that thing and a couple of extra batteries in the truck, I always have power for the flashlights and the LabRadar. And I can take it with me elsewhere to charge my phone.

3. A Pelican 1470 makes the perfect carry case. But damn they're expensive. Keep an eye on ebay and you may be able to pick up a used one for cheap. I got one for ~$35.00.


Regarding #2 above: If you haven't experienced the latest in Chinese LED Li-Ion flashlights, check out something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SK98-CREE-XM-L ... 2749.l2649 or this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tactical-35000 ... 6d41a1fc02. Once you experience these things you'll toss your old mag lights.

I've got a set of 22-250 RCBS dies, free to a good home if anyone can use them, just cover shipping.
I build the #TTFPowderStand for the Lee Turret Press
