I'm trying to resolve/identify why 1 or 2 rounds out of a 10 round string would absolutely trash an otherwise great SD/ES for my .308. Using a Magnetospeed v3.

Heres my data from two 10-round strings:

String 1
SD: 24
ES: 79
String 2:
SD: 19
ES: 60
2 rounds in both strings were WAY off, one much faster, one much slower.
If I remove those two from the math, I'm damn near single digit SDs and ESs below 20.


Here are my components:

• Alpha Brass (once fired, and annealed)
• Federal match primers
• Sierra matchkings
• RL15
• neck tension: .0025-.003.
• Primer pockets uniformed and flash-holes deburred.
• .015 jump

I'm using an RCBS chargemaster lite. I have always had a hunch that its the problem. So what I did was weigh all my primed cases, record. Then throw the powder, weigh the case plus the powder, and then see if the scale was at least consistent. Seemed so... However, this does nothing to check the precision of the scale.

What is the likelihood that its simply the margin of error of my scale? its not the most top-of-the-line, and since it says +/- .1gr, I would think that could make a significant impact...

I have been told to try different primers, perhaps CCI BR... Can a primer really make a 50 FPS difference?

What else could it be?

I think he was one of a kind. He was able to use a messed up childhood into comedy.

I’ve been using my Hensoldt Spotter 45 with Tremor4 Reticle, but damned if my 95mm Swaro BTX — with 1.7x TC installed — doesn’t get me substantially closer to the target. Sure, the complete lack of a reticle sucks a bit, and seems to be an area where Swaro could make etched 1.7x TC’s with different reticle options, since they’re not that expensive.

Anywho, even with the TC installed, it is still critically sharp with minimal CA. I suck something awful at TTL photos, and my new iPhone 13 Pro Max Blah Blah Blah makes it even more difficult, but I managed to haphazardly snap a couple of modestly representative TTL pix — zero post processing, Parkinsons Shake and frustrations galore, so there’s some motion blur, but even with that, you get the idea.

I had a thread running here, roughly a month ago concerning my occupational exposure to fiberglass insulation. Most replies consisted of “run now” and “contact OSHA asap”.

I contacted OSHA, and the employer bullshitted their way around the claim stating that they have done in-house testing and no protective equipment was needed, yada yada. Quitting immediately without anything lined up just wasn’t an option, as I couldn’t survive the financial hit.

I never furthered the issue, because I have already checked out of the job mentally. I have discussed the issue with co-workers and I’m left with not much more than a shrug. Hey, the saying goes “You can lead a horse to water….”

Thankfully, I’ve landed another gig that is very promising, but it’s an overnight shift which sucks (7pm-7am). My effective start date is the 31st of this month. I would like to leave my current job with grace (as much as they disregard employee health) as best I can. I just no longer have any interest in going back another day.

Coming home covered in glass fibers, bringing them into your vehicle & home isn’t much of interest to me any longer. I have been with this employer for four years now, and aside from all of this I greatly respect the relationships I have built with the people I work with.

How would all of y’all go about resigning in grace, given my situation?

I appreciate any and all suggestions, just please keep them appropriate to the situation. Thanks.

Planning on purchasing ruger precision 6.5 creedmoor best optic out to 1000 yards?

With all the threads about retiring, the bug to start investing/playing the stock market has its teeth in me.

I’m in my lower 30’s, and want to start something of a nest egg so one day I can retire and not worry about things. This is one area I know nothing.

The wife has us on a Dave Ramsey plan to be debt free in so many years, but I also think investments are a big part of it.

So where do I start, and how the hell do you play stocks? Baby steps for now.

I got a Savage 110 Precision in 300 PRC a couple weeks ago. The scope base was not threadlocked, the back 3 screws were hand tight, the front screw was over torqued and the hex head stripped. You'd think they would assign someone other than a 4 year old to do QC . . .

Anyone else have this happen recently?

I think he should have handled it different at the start, more freedom and less hysteria, you’re grown you choose, however thank god for the judges he got in place, as I recall he got more in that most POTUS and most of his picks (minus anti 4A and pro statist Brett) have been damn good constitutional picks.




“
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. judge in Texas issued a nationwide injunction on Friday barring the federal government from enforcing President Joe Biden's requirement that federal workers without qualifying medical or religious exemptions be vaccinated for COVID-19.


Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed to the District Court for the Southern District of Texas by then-President Donald Trump, ruled that opponents of Biden's vaccination mandate for federal employees were likely to succeed at trial and blocked the government from enforcing the requirement.

Biden announced in September that more than 3.5 million federal workers were required to undergo vaccination, with no option to get regularly tested instead, unless they secured approved medical or religious exemptions. The requirement kicked in in November, when the White House said more than 95% of federal workers were in compliance with the Biden mandate either by being vaccinated or by having requested an exemption — and 92% were vaccinated.

Those out of compliance with the policy were referred to counseling and could be terminated under an executive order signed by Biden.

Brown wrote that at issue was whether the president "can, with the stroke of a pen and without the input of Congress, require millions of federal employees to undergo a medical procedure as a condition of their employment." He added, “That, under the current state of the law as just recently expressed by the Supreme Court, is a bridge too far."

The Justice Department said it would appeal the ruling.

The suit was brought by the group Feds for Medical Freedom.”

good video, interesting change for them

I reloaded some 6.5 Creedmoor with a a short action expander mandrel. I used new Lapua brass with Imperial sizing lube. The resizing process with the new brass was very smooth.

I annealed my once shot brass after cleaning with corn cob media. The pressure and required lube to resize are much greater than sizing new brass. I noticed the inside of the neck was dark and not shiny like the new brass. So the question is this normal. Thank you for any input.

I have been offered a position shooting pest control (squirrels and rabbits) on a golf course next to my house and I'm using it as an excuse to build a new 22lr.

I have a 10-22 in an ATI tac looking stock which I don't think would look too good to be wandering around a golf course with, and I wouldn't mind tightening up the accuracy a notch or two if I'm hunting with it. It would be nice if I use the new gun as a trainer for centrefire shooting too.

Is this just a case of "any bolt action gun in OK condition will do that"? I quite like the look of the sako synthetics, but wondered if I should be looking at CZ or someone similar. Will I notice a heavy barrel in terms of performance?

I may be over reacting to these bore scope images but has anyone ever seen anything like this in a new AR chrome lined barrel? The streaks can be seen in many places mid-bore. The picture of the “chip” was taken in the chamber.

I‘ve heard bore scopes can give us undue concern about the inside of our barrels but this barrel was fairly expensive and brought brand new through a respectable company. The images were taken the night of delivery. After my initial look-see I pushed an oiled patch down the tube to see if it was some kind of dirt/grime/grease. A little dark carbon like residue came out on the patch but that didn’t seem to remove any of the streaks. I’ll try copper remover after I get some feedback and discuss this with the selle.

Anyone ever seen this? Anyone know what these streaks are?
(Please don’t just respond - No problem, just shoot the shit out of it unless you’ve seen this in a new barrel and can tell me what these marks are)

Hello. I understand each gun will shoot lots differently but with there being so many different brands/lines out there and with stuff being really hard to find, I was wondering where everyone kind of places the various rimfire match ammo. Stuff goes from $5 to $30+ a box.

Are most of you shooting Midas, CX, Tenex, SK Match, Wolf Extra, RWS50/100?

Hey all! Something I think a lot of us have been waiting for. Login to view embedded media
