Hi All Snipershide I have something to tell you guys all ,Don't buy SCHMIDT&BENDER before you read this!!

About last year! I sent the scope back for repair which is 5-45x56 high power, Serial number 478890. The problem was I found something at 11.00 (only at 5X) as i attach files to you.

Now one year! later I got back from S&B service and repair (I live in Thailand)
I thought the problem was solve but when I got the scope back i look it at 5x i still found something at 11.00 it look like J line at 5X (only 5X)

I'm so disappointed in S&B BRAND AND SERVICE because I have to wait 1 year for get the scope back and I have nothing to say and i don't know what wrong with the team service didn't check properly ???? Waste my time so much 1 year that i'm waiting.!!!

you can check who did repair this scope!? why still have something at 11.00
please email me back or do something S&B.


and right now I sent email to jerry ricker about 2-3 days ago and no one reply me back.

I have videos but don't know how to send in here. The picture with orange background about last year that i sent to S&B for repair and now at the range is current i still found something at 11.00 .

Check this out

A buddy of mine game this to me for Christmas. From what I can tell, it's a 4"-50cal. shell, mfg. in 1918. It's got anchors stamped in it so I'm guessing it was fired in a Navy cannon. It's 35 inches long, brass and the projectile weighed a cool 33 pounds. The max range was 15,000 yards! I love guns and extremes and this thing makes me giggle. I can only imagine the sound!!!

I have up for sale an unfired 22’ dark earth ATX that I bought new without a barrel.

Selling as I don’t have time to shoot this one which is why it’s unfired a year after getting it. I have another AI which is the action the rounds on used barrel were fired from. I do have some barrels that I would add to it if buyer wanted a complete rifle.

A. 6.5x47 27” Bartlien heavy varmint from black canyon customs with around 350 rounds on it. Threaded 5/8x24. Cerekoted midnight bronze. $600

B. 6x47 unfired Bartlien heavy varmint from black canyon customs. I’ll have to measure this one it’s either 24 or 26”. Threaded 5/8x24. Cerekote smoked Bronze ? $600

C. 6br I bought this one used on here a while back and have never shot it. Bartlien MTU 26” 1:7 twist black with 5/8x24 threads. 600 rounds on it according to seller I got it from $400.

I'm having a bad month

About a month ago, I started having pain in my neck, and then my left shoulder. My muscles were really stiff, so I assumed that was the issue. After about a week, the pain was so bad that I went to the ER. They did an x-ray and just said it was arthritis in my neck. I called my RA doc and she gave me some gabapentin and an order for PT.

I went to PT, and in the process of evaluating me, she tore my *right* rotator cuff. Unbelievable. Then I had screaming pain in my neck and left shoulder, and my right shoulder.

I went to an ortho doc and he did x-rays on my right shoulder, neck and left shoulder. He told me I needed MRIs of neck and both shoulders. I showed the MRI reports to a friend who's a surgeon and he said was going to need surgery on my neck and right shoulder, but the neck was the priority. He sugarcoated it a little, but got me in to see a neurosurgeon the next day.

I saw the surgeon and I need a laminectomy and fusion on C2-T1. I'm getting a catscan on Monday and seeing the surgeon again on Wednesday to setup the surgery. He said I'll need to wait until sometime next year to fix the right shoulder. In the meantime, my spinal column is pushed against bone so closely at C2-C3, he told to be very careful. A trip and fall or car accident would be, in his words, catastrophic. I told my wife to drive safely on the way home, or she might be be wiping my ass for the next 20 years

On top of that, we had a family ski trip to Canada planned (and paid for). I'm trying to talk my daughter into going with my wife's family. I hate to ruin it for everyone.

And I know this is rididulous, but I just put together a new rifle and bought a bunch of reloading gear over Black Friday. I realize that it's not important, but it's just irritating that I don't even know when I'll be able to get behind a rifle again. If at all.

And the pain is so bad that I can't sleep. Which means my wife can't sleep. And on top of that, she's having to work and pick up the slack for me. I don't really have the personality to be waited on or to ask for help. I feel miserable for everyone.

TL;dR I'm screwed

Tidbits About Bullet Seating - Mandrels, Neck Lube, etc.

I'm working on testing methods and products and gathering data on bullet seating. I'll be posting some comprehensive data once I get to an appropriate point of collection, but I just got some interesting information that I though was worth sharing.

I bought an AMP Press a number of months ago and have been testing different neck lubes, different processes, annealing vs. not, etc. Tomorrow I'm heading out to BLM land to do some ~2k yard ELR with my 300, and some closer in stuff with my 6 BRA, which means tonight I'm doing a bunch of loading. For my 300, I tried two slightly different processes:

Process 1:
- Anneal
- Size
- Lube necks with moly (topic for another post, but I've found moly to be the best neck lube on annealed brass)
- Mandrel
- Trim
- Primer, charge, seat

Process 2:
- Anneal
- Size
- Lube necks with moly
- Mandrel
- Trim
- Lube a second time
- Primer, charge, seat

Below are the graphs from the AMP Press showing the difference. I did 16 on process 1 and 46 on process 2.

Process 1: Single neck lube before trim, primer, charge, etc.
15-Dec-2023 18_39 1x moly.png


Process 2: Neck lube before trim, then second neck lube before primer, charge, etc.
15-Dec-2023 17_19 Lot PR0359 double moly.png


Notes:

- On process 1, some of the plots spike at the end because I needed to re-zero the press height
- You can see that the extra lube step on process 2 pretty dramatically brought in spread. It's about a 30lb spread on process 1 vs. a 16lb spread on process 2.
- I'll post the muzzle velocity results after I get back tomorrow.
- I'm expecting somewhat of an SD improvement from the set of process 1 vs process 2, as I've already documented a correlation between seating force SDs and muzzle velocity SDs in my Mandrel Musings thread.
- For my 6 BRA, the two different plots I've got show a stark difference - includes annealing vs. not for one firing. But there is also one other factor that plays a significant role that was unexpected. More on that later.

How many rounds on this receiver?

Looking for some input here. Purchased a BA from a member here. Was told specificlally “350 rounds on barrel and receiver”. This is what I received today.

I take good care of my shit so maybe this is just what 350 rounds of abuse looks like. But what do yall think? Anyone have a receiver that looks like this after 350 rounds?

Nitride is chipping in several places. Bolt stop also has excessive play in it.

Optic objective lens very close to barrel

Wondering if this height will be a problem, such as recoil causing contact between barrel and optic?

I like these lens caps and would prefer to keep them. Obviously my clearance would be better without them. I’m running low rings because it gets the optic line-of-sight to perfect cheek weld height for me. I can slide 4 stacked pieces of computer paper in there (between barrel and optic).

See attached photo. Thanks

USO B17 Thicccc Girl Scope Mount?

I’ve tried Scalarworks and ADM and neither have enough distance between the rings to fit on my 3.2-17 USO B17.

It’s a 34mm going on an LMT 6.5cm.

Who’s using something that’ll fit? I know on the LMT I could use rings but I’d rather not. My calipers measure 2.9” absolute minimum and that’ll be pushing it.



Thanks!!
