    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    I must apologize to all, my intentions were not to turn the thread into a debate rather more of a poll that seems to have gone astray.

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    Yes that’s true, some days we just pack up and go home or just do not go to the range. We want good data to make good decisions when testing loads but in the same breath there are days when I just have to get something done and having a flag of two out helps me read the results and improve my...

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    We can choose our days for testing ( and trust me I do) but we can’t change the weather at a match. Myself I need all the practical practice I can get. One way to help mitigate conditions is to shoot round robin test groups but they needed to be shot at a smooth steady pace and lots of guys...

    Limited Component Load Development

    If color transfer becomes difficult you may want to use s dab of alcohol on a swab to retrieve/enhance the color off the target.

    Cleaning Primer Pockets.Tools?

    I find primer pocket depths to vary somewhat, I use 21st century adjustable tools for lightly cleaning pockets and priming cases.

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    There is always some wind, how much it’s affecting the bullets is the question. A slight 3 mph breeze barely detectable can move a hi bc 108 Berger about 3/4 at 200 yards, toss in a little gust at 6 mph and now that’s 1.4 this doesn’t sound like much but certainly enough to put me into last...

    Gun Cart for range.

    Rifles go in cases, my range gear goes in the cooler while traveling then transfers to the big foot wagon for gravel or rough terrain.

    RCBS Partner Press shell holders?

    As far as I know all rcbs presses take the same shell holders. But not all shell holder brands interchange. Follow the chart for a specific cartridge...

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint .223 report

    Might want to try federal match 69 gr ammo or tune up a hand load. Those rifles shoot really good.

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    Seems a limited interest in using wind flags. I thank those who’ve posted to the thread and hope value is found to those who do not currently use them. J

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    Oh yes’ If I don’t have flags handy I’ll use anything at my disposal including the mirage.

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    Without the last group on the target j posted, the information is totally different without knowing the conditions. Just to add a thought.. when testing we don’t compensate for wind we interpret and try to remember how far the bullets are getting pushed around so when it’s time to practice or...

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    Not everyone owns a set of flags but a small bit of surveyors tape tied to a tree limb is better than nothing. There is always threads about load development or ladder tests but rarely do you see conditions mentioned or noted. When asked the normal reply is that there wasn’t any wind. Really ...

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    During the period of time I shot the above test target I had very calm conditions on the first three shots followed by a light breeze quartering towards me from my right, during the third three shots the light breeze changed to a switching head wind and picked up slightly, had I not shot the...

    Do you use wind flags during load development ?

    I was told recently that it wasn’t a matter of reading the wind it was matter of reading the load. This was a puzzling statement as I wondered how do know if the wind is skewing the results or not or by how much ?
