Ok, I got a photo hosting solution I'm happy with. I like hosting them for use on other forums where I post, plus posting them native size always seems to blow out the forum because they post really big. (http://www.postimg.org is what I'm using, for those interested. Seems simple and reliable...

For the most part, my gear was pretty good. Lowa boots did a great job....and my Cascade Mountain Tech carbon fiber trekking poles were lifesavers....literally. Those things were really affordable, well made, and really were invaluable working through downed timber down steep grades in snow with...

Had the tenderloins Sunday evening. My picky family was concerned they wouldn’t like it. They like whitetail, but elk is something new. They don’t do change well. Lol I wasn’t worried, but I informed them that if they didn’t like it, I’d worked entirely too hard for them to be forced to eat...

I still haven't gotten an image hosting setup figured out since Photobucket went the way it went, so this'll unfortunately be without pics for now. I'll correct that in the future. I just got home this past Thurs. from my very first elk hunt, a 1st Rifle hunt for a cow in Colorado. This has...

I'm working on a photobucket replacement and then I'll post my hunt, but I have some tenderloin pieces (partitions are hard on tenderloins when your shot goes a bit off course). I saved what I could and have it milk-soaking with a smaller piece of back strap and will be cooking them tomorrow...

What’s everyone’s favorite way to cook elk tenderloins? I may have recently come into a pair of fresh tenderloins. ;)

Yep. I'll run more charges later this week and then pick some charges to work with.

I'm curious where more powder goes. There's room from what I see in speeds vs pressures in QL. I'm curious if it gets more consistent as the charge goes up. Max looks to be 61.4 with speeds over 2600. Not like 2550 wouldn't kill about anything, though.

And yes, I did the math in my head for the difference in speeds. Some are not quite correct. Whoops. :lol:

Ok, so some more data.... I ran 56.8 to 59.4 I still had 58.2, 58.4, 58.6, and 58.8 from my batch yesterday. All the rest I loaded today. I had my ChargeMaster throw each one, then I put it on my Lyman balance scale. Out of the 10 loads I made today, only one wasn't SPOT ON when I put it on my...

Makes sense. To hold to changing one variable at a time, I'll add the check with the balance scale into my procedure. If that makes no change, I'll do a full cleaning regimen. I'll post as I get more data points.

QL predicted 58.8 as my max, which prompted me to start where I did. With the speeds it's producing, it may let me go higher than that safely. I'll run more soon and see what I get. I may build 57.0-59.0 and double check weights with my balance scale. Then rerun for speeds and see what I...

Hi Jim, Yep, all same lot and firings. One thing I just thought of....I was fighting a losing battle with my Hornady Prep center till I realized I was using the wrong shell holder. Doh. So I have maybe 10/1000 variance in trim length on those brass. I ran charges on my ChargeMaster. Good...

I took my Whelen to the range today to run some charges for flatspot load development. It's not really what I thought I'd get, based on what I've seen folks post here, but I'm guessing there's a learning opportunity here, so I'll post the data for others who know more to check out and see if...

Sporter ordered....

You know me. If I can make it do all the tricks the pricier one can do at the lower price, I'm all in. :lol:

I'm really just looking to get speeds. My interest in the app stems from looking at differences in the two units. Since the V3 is $200 more, I was interested in what that $200 buys. If the computer unit is a difference, and that difference is negated by a $25 piece of cable and an app, then...

I'll spend on the right tool, but I'll squeeze each penny till Abe gives a holler, too. ;)

I posted this elsewhere, but two thoughts I have on the Sporter: 1- barrel mount....I can do about everything I want to do except my semiauto handguns. Those don't need a ton of chrono work, but there's a periodic need. And I like to chrono when I shoot groups, but there's a fair bit of user...

Dewey, Have you used the smart phone connector? I saw a YouTube vid on it and it looked like it would level the field between the two as far as data crunching goes. I have an idea on using the Sporter for stuff it doesn't fit. Not sure if it is workable or not, but might be worth $200 to me...
