Brand new rifle stuck casings

Have a brand new Howa 1500 in 300 win.

First 40 rounds down the barrel and 1/2 of them sticking in the chamber. Stuck so hard had to hit the bolt handle with my palm to get them to release. Ammo was off the shelf new rounds 180gn Federal hunting ammo, Chrome casings.

Got home cleaned the chamber, inspected chamber, no issues I can find. Had some once fired brass casings. Ran about 40 rds in and out to see if they would stick too. About 10 of them stuck but not as near as bad as on the range. Just had to jiggle the handle a little bit and they’d release. The brass ones that stuck were also hard to close the bolt. No issues with tightness in closing the bolt on the new rounds.

Wondering if it’s just because it’s so tight and new? But never had any other rifle act like this.

Thanks for any help!

Nother harricane comin

Well it looks like another hurricane is about to hit fl. Somewhere on the gulf coast. somewhere between tampa and the big bend area.
You folks in its path even up into ga batten down
This one is predicted to be pretty strong with a shit ton of storm surge. Twc showing 10-15’ of storm surge in the bug bend area.
Those folks not long ago got hammered over there with quite a few business just reopening. Taylor county was just issued a mandatory evac.
10-15 ‘ surge is a shit ton of water moving inland.

Help And Prayers Needed!

Got a call 1:00 A.M Sunday morning. One off my employees suffered a stroke. Brought him to the local hospital. They stabilized him and flew him to Oschners in New Orleans 2.5 hours away. His wife is with him, I’m running the company so I can’t go until the weekend. This is devastating for all of us. His sister set up a go fund me account. If you can help in anyway we all will be indebted to you all.
They will try to operate this week as he still has bleeding on his brain.😢

Robar 50 BMG.....never shot, just acquired.

Not sure how to look anything up on this rifle being as the company is no longer around. Magazine seems to be custom made.....wanting to get another 1 or 2 magazines made for it, living in Nebraska with very few resources around makes it tough to find someone who can make one for less than 1k. Does anyone know of any mags that will work in these by chance or is my only option to have them made? Looking like the ladder from what I can tell.
This rifle was gifted to me from my neighbor who had it ordered years back, never shot it but kept it oiled and clean. We talked about our military experiences throughout the years and him being over 60 and in declining health, decided to give me the weapon to see it be taken care of and used. I'm still young and strong and experienced with weapons, have the land to shoot it and was looking for some info about these rifles. Marine Corp vet 2006-2012. MOS 0311. This is a bit different than my M4!
New to long distance shooting. Thank you

Would be Trump Assassin’s Son arrested on Child Porn charges

Oran Routh, Son of would be assassin Ryan Routh, recently arrested on child pornography charges. Odd that the son of a crazy leftist was arrested for being a pedo. It’s almost like this pernicious evil is part and parcel to the leftist position…..


So over the Contrived and Repetitive Nature of Stages today

If we are being honest, this needs to change.

Three steps: drop the weighted, tuned, flat-bottom rifle on a bag, wash, rinse, repeat

This is stupid; where is the training value beyond repetition, and what skill are we demonstrating?

There must be a reason; we need to have value in the course of fire. Sure, entertain us, but why not have a training objective with the stages?

What is the actual takeaway?

Even watching the stages at Cameo, they were reduced to size, ignoring the terrain, adding artificial props, and doing nothing to increase the stress or heart rate of the competitor. Why are we trying to ease shooters into a scenario instead of increasing the movement?

Why no mandatory mag changes, it's designed to work with you vs forcing you to adapt. The only compromise I see is the height of the obstacle, correct me if i am wrong, but what are the 3 main solutions to a shot being promoted? Bag on prop, bag on prop with tripod rear, bag on prop...

I know I am pissing in the wind, but I am gonna offer up choices; I think it's boring to watch; it's who taps the trigger vs who follows through, and not much else as the rifles do all the work. The only value comes in the number of stages you shoot, the repetition.

Look at it this way, at the IPRF there were no training clinics beyond Emils talk and really there is no value in training, only shooting the comps as is... weird they dont value training, there is nothing to be learned is what i saw, no Tips and Tricks, they just assume you are there so you are the peak of the sport... crazy they ignore this element

and before you dismiss it completely, look at archery again, look at the front page of their competitive organization, right at the top, find a coach, find a mentor, find training, learn the craft as you progress, we have none of that... strange to me.

“BARREL MOVEMENT BEFORE THE BULLET EXITS”

Login to view embedded media
Bryan Litz’ video was demonstrating how a rifle barrel moves (or perhaps contracts?) by a little bit before the bullet even exits the barrel.

Is the apparent barrel movement:

(1) An artifact due to gases exiting before the bullet

IMG_4187.gif


(2) Secondary to the barrel metal behaving in a fluid state during high impulse, with the muzzle contracting rearwards while the areas proximal to the breech and throat are expanding sideways?

I suspect the latter…

During high impulse events, solids may exhibit properties more akin to liquids.

For instance, a bullet cratering on impact resembles the propagation of a water droplet…

Firearms Remington 700 CP 6.5 creedmoor 12.5” pistol w/ brace

I’ve had this a couple years. Planned to put a Q sliding brace on it and never did. Then I planned to put it in the XLR Atom chassis (other listing) and never did. Typical.

It’s in the original box. Great for a small backpack or truck gun. Never shot it.

It’s been ceracoated FDE and the stock is a sniper grey. Small k model magpul grip and magpul magazine.

Not sure what they go for now. Hard to figure out a price. Not many on the secondary market. It is a pistol. Sent from Remington as a pistol.

Asking $1600 OBO shipped. PM offers and will if you have questions. No trades at this time.

30-06 build for long range!

Finally got around to assembling my first bolt gun. Plan is to shoot out to 1000 yards for fun and maybe do some deer hunting from box stands or my back porch. Gun ended up a little heavier that I thought close to 20lbs.

Remmington 700 LA
NSS criterion barrel 1-10 twist
NSS recoil lug and barrel nut
Greyboe ridgeback stock
Bedded stock
Greyboe bottom metal
Accu-Tac bipod
Sawtooth arca rail
leupold mark 5 5-25x56 in mils
Area 419 20 moa base
ARC M-Brace one piece mount
Trigger Tech special 2 stage


Haven’t got the chance to shoot it yet but already looking at building another one. Next investment will be some reloading equipment and go down that rabbit hole.

Night Vision Thermal Clip-on in Standalone Mode

Been running the Voodoo-ML through various rifle setups as a thermal clip-on, but thought I'd play around with the built-in reticles to use in standalone mode. Obviously with the demag it's kind of difficult to use without any magnification, but a simple pop-up magnifier does the trick, making the rig work as a 5x thermal scope. Obviously it's best used as a clip-on, as it can handle up to about 15x magnification on a day optic, but that takes a quite a bit more real estate and increased weight. I'm surprised how well it works in this case.

NOW I REMEMBER WHY I LOVE MY DILLON CARBIDE DIES

IMG_4166.jpeg


Ugh.

My second instance ever.

I suppose I’ve been lucky, over the tens of thousands that I’ve gone through thus far…

This is a Forster FLS Small Base Die.

I was uniforming some machinegun - fired garbage brass.

Login to view embedded media
The Dillon dies have the wrench flats + stuck case extractor designed into the dies themselves, no extra parts or tools needed.

1727206588515.png


Now I’ve to wait for that RCBS 9340 Stuck Case Remover to get shipped…

The case rim is gone.

Any alternatives other than waiting at the moment?

EDIT: This happened because I left the case in the die in full compression - did something else for an hour or so - came back to where I left off, and voila! Seized die, wouldn't budge. The wax was probably squeezed out over that one hour.

Going to call this the "Unpopular Opinion" thread and I have some thoughts...

To start this thread off, I find that mayonnaise is by far the most vile of condiments to ever exist. It tastes like paste (aka glue) on a sandwich and has no place in our culture. So many dips & similar products use mayonnaise as a base ingredient and it completely overwhelms the flavor profile because even with all the spices that are thrown in, it still tastes like well spiced "glue".

And for some reason all of the fast food burger joints have incorporated mayo into their products and it's at best a 50/50 shot when you explicitly specify in your order to exclude the mayo that when you open up your bag that damned if you don't have a double helping of mayo on your burger. It's beyond infuriating.

Fight me on this.
