    I hate it when they do that.

    Not operator error :- ) ?
    Yeah it was operator error. It triggered but didnt get a result. It wasnt lined up right. Couldnt find my sighting thingy.

    I was using mine on the weekend and it wasn’t triggering. I realised I had the muzzle too low - it was just above the lower edge of the unit, but needed to be closer to the centre line. Once I fixed that it was all good.

    Love in-line hand dies. Simple yet very effective, however no longer popular as everyone uses a press nowadays. The good old lee loader works off the same principle.

    Got an old L.E Wilson in line seater and full length resizing vise die (no longer made) in .270 from an old school reloading guy for about $20 here in the UK.

    He did me a huge favour by selling it as the thing just works, seating consistency with Nosler BT's is around +/- 0.01mm and that is just by hammering the die with a soft faced dead-blow hammer.

    According to P.O Ackley's book, US custom rifle makers used to supply hand loading dies with the rifle for a small fee. Practise seems to have died out now.

    Pretty sure @faregame on here sells them. I only bought mine to use with suppressors as there was supposed to be issues reading suppressed rifles. I havent experienced that with centerfires but it does pickup a very quiet 22 using cci quiet ammo I have.

    even using lee press and dies it does a VERY good job....start seating projectile,then turn it and case half way around and finish it off,takes but a second to do and as said it works.
    I thought I invented that amazing Amax technique but alas...

    Ah yeah, misunderstood the post. Have the airgun mike and it works well on airguns, 22s, suppressors etc but also picks up shooters either side of me. Mostly just errors but sometimes adds stupid velocities to my string.

    The detector I was meaning picks up the rifle's recoil and is immune to other shooters. The LabRadar is also less fussy where it goes in relationship to the muzzle.

    Two outfits are making them. One won't export, the other has not replied to my 3 emails.

    This is the one that doesn't want to know me https://jklprecision.com/product/labradar-trigger/
    There is a good little youtube clip on the jkl one.

    JKL's checkout shows USA as the only option so I guess that is why they are ignoring my enquiries.

    Oh. Didnt know about that one. Joys of living on the coast and having the range to myself. I have never used my radar with other shooters shooting.

    I’ve not seen that trigger - the miss named air gun trigger (for nz at least) works while and also works with sub sonics
    You can drop the sensitiveiy down to cut out the others - or arm it off your cellphone to reduce the time it’s active

    Personally hate being at a range with others - joys of living in a more remote area and going weekdays - peaceful day out making noise

    My first hurdle is to get them to reply to my email. I'd ring them but no phone number on their site.
    The probably ignore me based on my IP address.
    You may have better luck.

    There is the other guy supplying them (different to the outfit who don't like me), his name is Piet IIRC. His website was all good except the notice about no international sales.
