Headspace. ? On 6.5cm proof ss zermatt origin prefit

My proof research SS 6.5 creedmoor zermatt origin action prefit barrel gave me a headspace/datum line measurement of 1.534" on fireformed brass yet my brand new alpha brass had a measurement of 1.5345" and im not sure if this is usual? this is my first bolt gun and new brass typically has a much shorter headspace measurement than once fired. After installing the barrel i checked the go which it closed on and no go which is failed to close on so the barrel passed them but it just seems a little strange that my once fired has the same datum line measurement as brand new brass thats usually on the shorter side of datum line measuremens. Can anyone explain if this is normal. If not is it bad? I contacted proof and they basically said it's fine but idk it feels strange to me. What is usually what ppl experience in fireformed brass datum line headspacing growth from new brass?

Can a lead sled reflect the accuracy of my rifle and load?

I started to shoot groups for accuracy, using a 223 Zermatt TL3 action with a Shilen 26" barrel and MDT ACC Premier chassis. After the initial adjustments for the bullet seating depth, I got .75" outside to outside groups, that are now opening up to one inch. Everything is the same. Before I make any changes to the rifle and/or loads, I would like to make sure that I am not the problem. Can a lead sled provide a reliable answer? I would want to just pull the trigger and don't touch anything in order to take me out of the equation.
Is this a good idea or the wrong approach? Please let me know what your experiences with this method have been.

2004 cadillac deville 6 Doors worth anything?

Hey all,

I know, weird car. But there's one for sale in my AO and just because it's weird and odd I decided to take a look. It's super clean and well kept. It has sub 34,000 miles and clean title. They want $5000 for it. I'm thinking it might be worth it for re-sale.

Check engine light is on and we took it for a diagnosis and cylinder is the issue. Supposedly it might be spark plug, wire, or coil.

Any thoughts?

When you are a leftist commie Democrat Satanist of Color... and The WAPO won't endorse you...

You must really suck!!!!

Oh wait... we are talking about Cackle Snatch here.

She DOES suck!

And apparently has the IQ of a fencepost! According to Mel Gibson ;-)

It's not a 'great' October surprise. I'm still hoping for a better one. Like Tim Walz being discovered at the Budweiser Breweries blowing Clydesdales. With Paul Pelosi.

But the sheep stupid enough to have their Harris/Walz signs in their yard because they were told and have TDS... well, they'll still vote for them. Numerous times. Along with their illegal maids and gardners.

Getting started in rimfire PRS - What rife?

Hi All,

I am really getting the 22 rimfire bug and am falling into the black hole fast. I have a 10/22 style KIDD supergrade that I have dusted off out of the safe that I have really started to shoot alot and now I am thinking I want to go all out and getting a super nice bolt action. But now comes my question where should I start rife wise? I don't plan on winning any national matches I am just average Joe that really enjoys shooting rimfire and has an appreciation of fine craftsmanship in guns. I would like to dabble in some local NRL22/PRS matches but just for fun. I have been looking for a little while now at some of the used CZ's and Tikka's that come and go on this site as well as others but I also feel like if I go down this road why spend the money on that when later I might want a Vudoo or Rimx. So I guess my real question is for those that have gone down the rimfire rabbit hole is it better to just buy once and cry once and just go all out and get Vudoo/Rimx or would you say start slow and work your way up?

For some background I am coming from years of shooting competitively in the clay target world both NSSA, NSCA, and some ISSF skeet. So a DI precision barreled Vudoo with some super nice glass is not jaw dropping to me (when you compare that to what some of my clay target guns cost) but at the same time if something like a second hand $1500-$2k 455 with a Lilja barrel will get the job done then I would much rather go that route.

Any Legs to This Case Against the Hughes Amendment?

Being from Iowa, I was disappointed to see we were not on the list in the case but I guess it was an Iowa sheriff that was sentenced to prison and started this appeal so that's good. No idea if this gets any traction or not? Could be a step in the right direction

Optics F/S or F/T Athlon Cronus 4.5x29x56

Bought one of these and was so impressed for the price that I bought another, both are in mint condition with box, paperwork etc. Both come with throw levers. One has the white tape on the elevation turret, the other doesnt. The one with the tape has a couple small spots on the bell as shown, they look much worse in the photos. More photos available. Mounts/rings are not included but negotiable.
Only selling because I'm getting into mile plus shooting and want a bit more power in something like the Zeiss 6x36. would trade for one of those and make up the difference in cash

I'll sell either one for $1000 to your door in the CONUS. First "I'll take it here ." trumps a PM.
