Heavy bolt lift with mild 6cm load

I am a relatively new reloader and am having a strange problem with my 6cm load showing signs on over pressure with a mild load of 40.0gr. The bullets will chamber just fine but after firing the bolt is sticky on extraction and I’m not sure if the brass looks ok or not.

Components:
- Virgin Lapua 6cm SRP brass
- 40.0gr of H4350
- Federal 205M small primers
- Hornady 110gr ATip seated to COAL of 2.790
- Hornady reloading manual

Equipment:
- A419 zero press
- Short Action Customs Dies
- 21st century mandrel
- Redding #1 shellholder
- SuperTrickler
- A&D FX120i scale
- Magnetospeed (40.0gr gave me an average of 2950fps over 25 rounds)

Rifle:
- Defiance deviant tactical
- 6CM Hawk hill barrel, 26”, 1:7 twist
- The rifle was chambered and assembled by Altus

The brass has not been sized, I only used a mandrel to straighten the case necks and set the bullet tension to about .0015

I took a quick measurement and it looks like the brass shoulders grew about .006-.007 after firing, is that normal?

The pictures I posted are of the fired brass, I found two of them on the right side that appeared odd to me, seems like the primer is flattened. I also see what appears to be swipes (although I’m not sure if they are false or not) and one round had what looks like soot on it after I fired it. Do the others show any signs of over pressure?

I worked up this load using the Hornady manual which shows the max at 41.7gr of H4350, so I’m not sure why I’m seeing pressure signs at this load weight. The previous lighter loads did not have a heavy or sticky bolt lift. Any help would be appreciated.

My silencer central experience

Well, I went into this with an open mind and here are the facts. Form your own opinions.

1. I certified 2 suppressors last year one day apart. Same suppressors, and all of the info was identical, but when one of them was approved on the third day of this Feburary, and the other was declined because they messed up something on my form, so I'm back to the back of the bus for probably another year+ at this point.

2. The suppressor approved on Feb 3rd is still not shipped. That's 25 days ago. It has been showing the 7 day wait period for notifying local law enforcement since about the 7th. I called on Monday Feb 20th and nobody answered, so I left a message on their machine, and then immediately followed that up with an email. On Thursday February 23rd I still hadn't received any type of response, so I called again and left another message and an additional email. Later that day they sent me an auto generated link to leave them internal feedback. I gave them the business in the review, with lengthy explanation, and then checked the box marked "would you like to be contacted about this", um, yep. Well, yesterday was Monday the 27th, 24 days since approval and they haven't called or sent me a single email, so I called again and got a warm body. I asked him what the problem was, and he told me that the letter they sent to local law enforcement may or may not have gotten there, he couldn't tell. I told him about my frustrations, and that I couldn't even get anyone to call me back. He assured me that he would determine what the problem was and would call me back the same day...... surprised right.... never happened. Now it's Tuesday afternoon, 25 days since approval and it's still sitting in their warehouse, and they have still never returned a single phone call or email.

You guys do whatever you want, but as for me and mine, silencer central will no longer be a consideration for any purchases. Some of the most pathetic customer service I've ever seen.

Help me diagnose if this Barrel is Clean enough?

Hi,

I just got a new 33XC barrel for my AI AXMC. Shot 50 round as part of barrel breakin. I have cleaned the barrel multiple times during the firing process (5 shots strings).

I am not very familiar with how the interior of a barrel should look like after cleaning. I understand there could be differing perspectives on this, but as this is an ELR build every bit of consistency/precision is of utmost value. Can experienced shooters look at the video on below given link and help me diagnose the barrel condition?

Link To Video

1. The space between raised ridges (grooves) looks black in initial portion after breech. Is that black color normal or signs of excessive carbon buildup.

2. I also see some kind of web like structures/cracks in first 10 inches of barrel. What is that?

3. The last 15 inches of barrel look diff vs first 15 inches of this 30 inch barrel. In last 15 inches the barrel is lot more whitish and it is difficult to figure out where grooves are. Is this normal or something else is going on.

4. Any other feedback/readings you have on this barrel.

Grateful for your time and assistance on this.

Loose under recoil, tripod

I have a Anvil 30 and a recently purchased two-vets ballhead. Using an ARCA attachment, the rifle wants to come off the clamp with rear-ward recoil after a few hots. happened with both setups.

Other than a lot more forward pressure, anything to help maintain the rifle in position?

When mounted with a Pic rail (and crossbar, obviously this is not an issue.

Thanks!

This isn't about do you like Mike Jones. This isn't even about the guest shooter.
I'll go with Mike on this one. It turned out to be a good story.

Spoiler. 22LR @ 710 yards? I'd go with not possible. However, he did land one within near spitting distance and that in itself is outstanding.
The guest shooter did get a hit on a coke can at 300 yards. Put that in perspective for the casual shooter, pretty much not going to happen.
For the experienced rimfire shooter it may happen. Give an experienced shooter quality ammunition and the chances increase. Give an experienced shooter a purpose built rifle, quality ammunition, optic, and easy environmental, then it's on the edge of consistency.

At 300 yards.

Move the goalpost out to 400 and cut the hit probability in half.
Move the goalpost out to 500 and cut the hit probability in half again.
Move the goalpost out to 600 and cut the hit probability in half again.
Move the goalpost out to 700 and ...

I know there are some rimfire shooters here that have thousands of dollars in equipment and tens of thousands of rounds experience .
My own experience pales in comparison. Still, I have a very good idea of what it takes to get out to 300 yards with iron sights and 500 yards with optics. At 300 yards and iron (quality peep sights) I can worry a target. At 500 yards with a good optic) I'm somewhere between minute of garage and barn door.

So please, what does the experienced rimfire crowd have to say about this?

Terminus vs Curtis Quick Change

I am wanting to build a Quick Change Rifle. I am eyeing Terminus Zeus and the Curtis. Which do you prefer?

I already have 3 custom actions with shouldered prefits. So wanting something quick change to play with.

Anyone mess with both of them? I am going to use to put on my varmint rifle.

One barrel for Coyotes and then another with subsonic. Likely a 6Dasher (light weight version of my comp rifle) and 8.6BLK (just because). I know they won't be exact on POI for 2 totally different types of calibers.

Barrel for a 16" Recce build?

Looking to finish off my 16" Recce build with a LPVO Sig tango. Naturally, the barrel that came to mind for this build was a Criterion Core... which is proving to be difficult like playing a game of cat and mouse.

Ideally, I would like to keep the weight down as I plan to be mobile with rifle for drills, carrying etc. Another option that came up that similar profile( minus the chrome lining) was Rainier Arms ultralight 223 Wylde barrel. Then of course I've looked at Faxon Gunner Match ( seems this is hit or miss literally) Or their fluted series.

Can you help a brother out and recommend a barrel before I break down from analysis paralysis. ?:LOL:
