    N/A I think I've decided on a Scout Epoch....

    Not sure what "problems" the responses are referring to. I've had my Epoch for about 2 years, and have not had any problems with it, haven't needed any "warranty" work. When Skout brings out an upgrade, to date, other than sometimes having to pay for shipping, the modifications have been...

    twist rates for 30 cal 45-55 gr slugs

    Motorhead, can you expand a bit on the "faster" issue. My understanding is that regardless of the FPS, a 1:25 for example will always spin the projectile one time each 25 inches because that is how the barrel is "cut." If you had a 25" barrel and a 1:25 twist rate, the pellet, etc. would...

    twist rates for 30 cal 45-55 gr slugs

    Just a beginner, but I don't believe the barrel length matters...it's the "twist" inside the barrel. Slugs need more spin than pellets. I see many in the range of 1:15 to 1:25. The rate is how many inches it takes for the projectile to complete a full turn, so 1:15 spins faster than 1:25.

    Crazy Spiraling .177

    Do you use a moderator? Since the speeds are in the "no-spiral" range, and you indicate that it's not a barrel problem, perhaps they're hitting something in the moderator. One other thought is a bad barrel crown that's "pushing" them off on exit?

    New and “improved “ FX software

    Sorry...I thought you were talking about updating the chronograph...didn't "read" it is the ballistic app you're having trouble with. I do not have any issue connecting with the app with my original and the True Ballistics units.

    New and “improved “ FX software

    I believe the update will only work on the version 2. I don't remember where, but there was a clip on updating that noted it would not work on an original model?
