Uhhh... no. The S107MK has been around 15-20 years at least, long before *any* manufacturers were pointing bullets.

I think the older SMK you refer to was listed with a P/N of 1715. That bullet had a BC of .43 I think.

Failing to see the motivation in this. Unless it’s motivation to not be a poor.

I see that I share some of the same opinions as a few of those above me.

Any large frame AR that will consistently shoot sub-minute (from the magazine) and is reliable, is a winner. I know that doesn't solve the accuracy disparity, but it is a perspective of serviceability.

I definitely believe that the force required to strip a round from the magazine and chamber it (starting at an angle no less) is going to have a negative effect on the bullet/seating. It wouldn't hurt to measure, then chamber and then eject at least 5 dummy (or live if you were at the range) rounds. I'd be looking hard at the condition of the jacket, nose, CBTO, and concentricity/runout.

Stop it with your logicals.

I submit that if someone needs a second shot ready to go so quickly that they carrying a semiautomatic rifle, they are likely shooting at a decent-sized target that has a heartbeat, thus negating the need for a point zero zero zero zero one MOA group capability, unless gaming of course.

i've never been inside a waffle house.
don't plan on it either.

its not all like that, ive greatly enjoyed my waffle house visits in their time and place.

but depending on where you are and the time of night, you might have to keep your head on a swivel. good news is, seems no one is shooting up a waffle house, just a few people who want to throw hands.

"You guys are relentless smart access (sic)..." Ahhh, Grasshopper, "The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life. (Confucius)

All my centerfires are zeroed for 100 yards. The exceptions are:
22 Hornet and rimfires - 50 yards
6.8 SPC AR - zeroed for 1¾" high at 100 yards, which is a 200-yard zero based upon MPBR hunting in heavily wooded AO.
I always ensure all firearms are returned to zero when returned to the safe.

So while I’m waiting for my Ingenuity Precision powder cup to get here from Oklahoma, I decided I’d try a couple of different powder cups to reduce powder bounce from my from my new IP trickler mount.

I’ve always had some powder bounce with the aluminum 419 cup and the IP trickler, even with the original mount.

But the Area 419 cup failed in a big way with the latest mount, bouncing powder everywhere. So I ordered the IP cup.

In the mean time I got an MK Machine 3D printed powder cup to try out and it was a failure, as far as powder bounce goes, too.

While I Iwas waiting for the next powder cup to get here I noticed something weird.

The MK Machine cup that weighed 245.08 grains when I got it now weighed 245.18 grains two days later. It currently weighs 245.22 as of this morning.

Way back since the ChargeMaster and later the Sartorious days, I’ve been writing my powder cup’s weight on the cup.

The Area 419 cup’s weight hasn’t changed.

Next up was this really nice Dead Drop cup I got last Saturday.

It weighed 924.56 grains when I got it.
This morning it weighs 925.66.

I realize the DD cup is a ceramic; the handle is printed.

The 419 cup’s weight has not changed.

Scale is calibrated and grounded, has a recently replaced power plug/ wall wart transformer and is connected to a line conditioner.

I have no doubt the scale is correct, because the 419 cup’s weight is a constant.

Humidity in this room is pretty consistent year round between 50-60%.

Anyone else experienced this? Do 3D prints gain weight while curing?
