SHOT Day One — A Look Inside
Opening day at SHOT Show is always overwhelming. Tens of thousands of visitors fill the Sands Convention Center. The rows of booths seem endless. Here are a few quick highlights from Day One.
So many booths, so many people. Yes it can boggle the mind…
Shilen had barrels galore on display (including AR barrels). Shilen also showcased triggers.
Handsome F-Class and Benchrest rifles were featured at Kelbly’s booth.
Labradar. Yes it is real. Yes it is FCC-approved. We’re told the first units should ship by mid-spring.
Bill Wiseman builds the massive text fixtures used by Remington, Sig Sauer, Lapua, and other big companies. This former USMC armorer is world renowned for the quality of his testing rigs.
Like father, like daughter. Steve Dahlke runs Criterion Barrels with expert help from his uber-smart daughter Stephanie, a talented young engineer.
QuickLOAD software has been updated with data for new powders, including Alliant and IMR powders.
The folks at Timney Triggers found a way to attract booth visitors — chocolate treats with Timney graphics. Yummy.
How do you get the quick load update? (I already have quickload)
do you have any more pictures of the Bill Wiseman project
Could we get a review on the new Lyman borescope??? Thanks

Editor: The new Lyman bore scope works great. We spent 20 minutes working with it today. The little monitor is pretty good and you can see all types of bore “issues” (carbon, copper, tooling marks, fire-cracking etc.) very easily. It will sell for under $300. We will have a full report soon.
