Vision Chassis Updates

Just an FYI...

Vision made some updates to their chassis. These updates are backwards compatible. Unfortunately they haven't offered a midsection that removes the hump infront of the magazine well, but they have made some nice updates to the buttpad and cheek riser.

Also, new website launches earlier this week and they are offering a sale on parts and accessories.

I didn't see this discussed and thought some vision owners might be interested in some of the updates, especially at a reduced price.

V4 vs supertrickler vs ingenuity trickler

Finally going to buy one. Which is the best overall one you guys have found. I don't switch powder to often but load n565 mainly then imr 7977 ramshot lrt and going to try some n570.

I know iguenity trickler is coming out with there own maybe best to wait but have money in hand.

I should add I already the fx120i scale.
Right now I load with rcbs lite then move over to fx120i scale with a dandy trickler to get final charge. Very accurate but very very slow

Pressure Signs, Where do you stop?

Hoping not to start a shit show here.

I am curious where you guys shooting the big boomers stop when it comes to pressure? Flat primers, Ejector mark, case head expansion, ejector swipe, heavy bolt lift.
What is your method for determining where the limit is.

Almost always in this sub peoples pictures of case head show primers flattened completely and typically ejector spot.

I'm doing load workup on a Wildcat and the ejector spot showed up sooner than expected, they are so faint I honestly wouldn't have noticed them except for the sun was straight at my back. That being said the case was definitely not completely formed to the chamber, I had only fired one mild FF load to blow out the taper and move shoulder ahead, then did a pressure ladder test. Primers look reasonable but I wanna knock them out so I can get a better look at them. bolt opened easily every time and fired brass still chambers easily. Tonight I'm going to strip my bolt so I can do a bolt handle drop test on fired brass. Case web don't seem to have expanded at all but I only had shitty calipers on hand, I'll have to wait until I get home to find out for sure.

I know it's more important how consistent it shoots I haven't gotten to group testing yet, hopefully next week.

Bore guide myth?

Is the necessity of a bore guide a myth? Below is my logical argument:

Copper, nylon, bronze, and brass are softer than steel. This implies that copper, nylon, bronze, and brass cannot scratch or otherwise damage steel. Therefore, a nylon coated cleaning rod, copper fouling, bronze bristles, brushes with brass cores, and other bronze or brass pieces cannot damage the throat, crown, or any other parts of a steel barrel.

Otherwise, please tell me your logical argument as to why I should use a bore guide to prevent damage.

Thank you.

This seems odd?

Found a 5.56 barrel that is 20" long- but has a carbine length gas system on it. It is a barrel that came from the manufacturer- and not aftermarket-- (the barrel is stamped "Mossberg", so not a company that you would expect to get it right when it comes to an AR.) But before I filed it away as one of the dumber things that I've seen...... Is there any purpose that it would make sense?

The High Cost of Crime: Oregon County Loses $1 Billion as Residents Flee Lawless Portland


2:47


Residents who fled Multnomah County, Oregon, in 2020 took over $1 billion in income as they searched for a better life in other areas.
The news is according to an analysis of data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Oregonian reported Sunday.
“Numbers gleaned from annual income tax returns provide the most detailed information available on where Americans are moving — and taking their money,” the outlet said:
The latest figures, based on income tax returns filed in 2020 and 2021, show that Multnomah County lost a net 14,257 tax filers and their dependents. The county’s resulting net income loss topped $1 billion for the first time in the decade that the IRS has tracked moving data.
The pandemic appeared to prod relatively higher earners — more likely to hold jobs that can be done remotely — to relocate than in pre-pandemic years. The average income of Multnomah County residents who moved away in 2020, the most recent figure available, was 14% higher than of those who moved the year prior, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive’s analysis.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Census found almost three percent of Portland’s population decided to leave between 2020 and 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported in June.
“The drop of about 17,400 to 635,000 was the sixth largest decline among the 50 largest cities,” the article said, noting that local leaders are now desperate to keep people from moving out.
In addition, “Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, has come under increasing pressure to address rising violent crime and sprawling homeless encampments,” the Journal article stated.
Portland families were reportedly packing up and moving elsewhere because of rampant homelessness and crime plaguing the area, according to a report from August 2022, reported by Breitbart News.
“Portland experienced a massive spike in its homicide rate from 2019 to 2021, recording a 207 percent increase. During that same timeframe, frequent ANTIFA riots were also occurring in the downtown area,” the article said.
In May, KPTV said Portland was “one of the fastest-shrinking U.S. cities.” A reporter for the outlet noted people said data backs up the fact that “Portland just is not what it used to be now.”
One resident lamented, “It’s like Portland died. The tourists haven’t come back like they used to be, especially the Japanese, because they love this city.”

HILARIOUS!
FAFO!

They finally did it, 15 years too late

Harris finally decided to update their 1960s tech. I can't believe it.




I mean, they still missed arca and it's silly they didn't just partner with rrs for a best solution. But at least someone woke up over there.

is hoping to lure workers back to the office with a new on-site hotel special, but some workers aren’t convinced it’s a good deal.
The company said full-time employees can book a room at an on-campus hotel in Mountain View for $99 a night in what it’s deeming a “Summer Special,” according to materials viewed by CNBC. The description states that the special will run through Sept. 30 in hopes it’ll “make it easier for Googlers to transition to the hybrid workplace.”

Next ar dmr build

Hello all. Long time reader. First time poster. So I am looking to build an ar dmr type build. Was looking to max out at 600-700 yards. So I’ve been a fan of the Hk mr556 upper. I like the build quality and accuracy. However I am a lefty and like a lower with ambi controls built in. In that respect I wanted some outside input. As I have a chance at getting a hk mr556 upper. And was thinking a Daniel defense lower. As the controls are easy to manipulate for my little carnie hands. That or a precision weapons systems ambi lower. Wanted to get input as to compatibility in regards to the buffer system. Has anyone done something similar. Honestly I’m a semi experienced shooter. Have a bunch of ar’s but all direct impingement. Never had a piston gun. So don’t know if my Franken dmr project is viable. Or should I just get the dd mk12 spr upper as well and be done with it. Thanks a bunch. Y’all have a great day.

Best donut

I’m sure there are some police on the hide that know a good donut when they see one, so speak up. And everyone else as well that likes a good donut, speak up as well. Or is it doughnut? Don’t call it a pastry.

So, What’s the best donut?
I say apple fritter, specially from https://m.facebook.com/ronattascakery
The best!!!
