This makes me want to strangle a couple people.

The driver who didnt stop and the one right behind them who had to have seen it and didnt stop.

Long-time friends wanted to get away for a week, they've always had pets so wasn't really possible.

Now they're down to two: one is a kitten that is pretty cool. Does usual kitten stuff. The other one is a "rehomed" giant nightmare cat that is missing it's front teeth. Came from a house with dozens. This one may have been the alpha. Terrorizes the kitten. Destroyed all their furniture. Knocks over water dish and scatters food everywhere. Damn thing started headbutting me about 3am. Planted a claw on my head. Grrr. Got up and fed it, Knocked water dish over, scattered food, then went back and parked it's ass on my pillow.

Not wanting to scrap, grabbed my shit and headed for a bedroom with a door. (Room I was staying in had the only TV, no door). Kitten followed. Fine. Until shithead headbutts the door open this AM. (Door doesn't latch shut)

Will barricade door tonight.

I'd ask for advice, but the obvious answer is don't be a dumbass and house-sit when unknown critters are involved.

FM.

I'll ask anyway. Let's hear your worst. I could add a poll with one choice: "don't be a dumbass"

Eh, only 4 more days, any creative suggestions?

How to choose! 6.5cm Load Development

Trying this again with more information that will hopefully help clarify some things.

Rifle and Setup -
Bergara B-14 HMR barreled action in a KRG Bravo Chassis
Nightforce NXS 3.5x15, Vortex PMR Rings

RCBS Rockchucker Press

Hornady Brass, Once Fired, 1 Deprimed, 2 Primer Pocket Cleaned, 3 Flash Hole Uniformed, 4 Wet tumbled, 5 Washed and dried, 6 Sized (FL Hornady Matchmaster Die) 0.288" Neck Bushing (giving me about .004" neck tension from my measurements), 7 Trimmed with Hornady LnL Trimmer to 1.920" or just under by a couple of thousands, 8 Case Mouth Deburred in/out

Bullet is the Hornady 135grain A-tip loaded to maximum mag length (I don't have my notes handy for the CBTOg measurement but I know it's 0.086" jump). Loaded with the Hornady Matchmaster Micrometer Die.

Primer - Federal 210

Powder RL16, initial charge dispensed by RCBS Chargemaster and then each verified with a beam-scale and adjusted appropriately to be precise.

Loads - 42.4, 42.6, 42.8, 43, 43.2, 43.4 (Three of each)

LabRadar for the numbers
Shot from a table top with bag supports

See the targets below for more information on FPS, ES, SD, and Group Size

If I missed something, let me know!


Original Post:::

"Question for the SME's! I'm working on a load for my 135gr A-tips in my 6.5cm. I'm running RL16 because it's what I have at the moment and realized I can get faster MV out of RL26 or maybe something else.

Let's just go with what I have rather than "use this" or "use that".

Based on the numbers and group sizes, which would you choose to run with?

Yes Shooter error could account for some deviation on either group (like the one shot to the right on 42.8).

I have the bullets loaded as long as I can possibly get with the mag length and already having to dremel out a spot in the feed ramp area to clear the tip of the bullet. With that tidbit of information I still have about 0.086" jump with the long chamber apparently.

Thoughts?"

American Airlines subcontracted (Envoy Airlines) pilot dies shortly after takeoff.

Gunsmithing Chamber (Throat) Finish, Poor Accuracy - See Pics

- 7 SAW I chamber (140gr VLD short throat), but he hand throated it for me to shoot the Berger 168's.
- 225 rounds fired, all Berger 168gr VLD
- Shoots 1.50"+ "gatherings" since new
- Powders used - H4350 and N555
- Proof TAC II stock
- Cleaned every 75 rounds, no brush, only pushed a jag and wet/dry patch, never pulled back accross the crown.

Based on these pics of the throat and crown, is this a realistic problem that would affect accurracy, or does this level of finish not matter?

Dear Snipers Hide constituents need advice.

So small background 10 years 11Bravo (Infantry), currently using my GIbill/voc rehab to become a pilot. In the meanwhile, I'm working security on a government contract. When we hire new people for the armed side my boss pay's a local shooting center to qualify them for weapons usually just a standard sidearm. I love all things firearm and teaching people. I was curious if it's a good idea or what the process is to become a certified firearms instructor. Everything I've googled points to the NRA for certifying official stuff. Once I finish my private pilot's license. Voc Rehab will pay for me to go to either Utah Valley University, or University of North Dakota (flight programs) Figured that might not be a bad side job once I get out of my current position either, but if I had the ability currently I could possibly get more pay doing what my boss pays another company. What are your opinions?
