It's awesome. It has not missed a shot so far. Works with suppressors. No setting up screens. Stores shot string data on an SD card. When I get home I import it right into Excel. Also you are getting true muzzle velocities instead of correcting for 10+ feet sky screen placement. There're plenty of videos and reviews out there.

Have you noticed any change in POI or accuracy with it connected? If so, how much? Thanks in advance.

That was a question I had. Hanging something on a barrel may change the harmonic profile. Remember those donut looking devices people put on barrels to dampen vibrations? If they had an effect, and I assume they did, what's the effect from attaching this device?

I'm with you, I'd never think of fire-forming my brass while hunting.

Actually, I have twenty-three 260s, but only thirteen that are currently available to shoot. The other ten are either NIB or just gathering dust, as they are rifles that I am not longer interested in shooting.

Not to sidetrack this discussion, but that article mentions all you need to do is run it through a die and it will form case. How will running it through a die increase shoulder angle? Still have to fireform it wouldn't you?

You must be serious about .260's...

It would be hard to come up short with that many...

Yes it changes POI a small amount. It has been very consistent in the change. It doesn't bother me in the least though as it has not effected group size that I can tell. This may be because I almost always shoot with a suppressor anymore. It is very handy to setup and start shooting without putzing around with screens anymore. I really like it. YMMV

Tell us more about your suppressor.

There's some discussion here. My .30 caliber suppressor is a titanium Sandstorm by GemTech. It's rated for .300 Win Mag. I think it weighs about 13oz. Could be off a little on that. It is direct thread. The POI offset is extremely repeatable. I shot a 5 shot group once, removing it and replacing it for each shot. A real PIA. No POI shift for any of the shots. I shoot it on .308, a couple of .260AIs, .243, .22-250. All with very good results. All hearing safe for the shooter. A side benefit is it acts as a fantastic muzzle brake. Reduces recoil and blast. As I stated in the other post, there is still the supersonic crack that I'm not concerned about. I try not to shoot without it anymore.
