I’m fine with that. It’s how wars were fought for thousands of years. I just wish they were honest about it. Bring home barrels of oil and some good looking women for the marketplace.

Canada’s energy industry is begging for a receptive market like a recently divorced chubby gym bunny begs for male attention. NE British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are triplets looking for love. I expect the biggest obstacle is established US energy businesses being propped up by the Canadian federal government refusal to build pipelines south. Canada as a national power is a cuck joke abusing its provincial underlings without remorse.

I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

M
2oz? Is nothing and until the product is actually released the bitching and moaning is pointless

Here is what I know
The Razor 6-36 gen 3 is the finest long and extreme range scope dollar for dollar I have ever used
The Mil Rad reticule from Vortex is extremely easy to use and teach students to use
The adjustments are stupid easy to learn

The Razor LHT FFP is an excellent hunting scope. Most hunters don’t need a sniper type scope because they really don’t beat there gear up

The 4-24x44 Razor will fill the need between a light hunting scope and the extreme range 6-36. Providing a great optic for DMR and mid range sniper type systems. It will also fill a need for super tough hunting scope for those beating the crap out of there hunting rifles

Toughness generally adds a bit of weight to anything.

Save money on the dies for the moment.


Start by replacing the brass.
Believe it or not, the Hornady brass is way better. Not that I'm recommending you use it, but it is better.
FC brass would be a great improvement.

Lapua? Well, you know where I'm going.

The FC brass is easy to find. Look on the ground at your local range. Find someone who shoots it from a bolt gun and take 20pcs home to experiment with.
You'll be surprised. It might not last for 10-20 loadings, but the price is right.
If you get improvements, then it'll be worth looking into Lapua.

Yeah, the more I research/think about it I'm thinking the brass is shit.
Sizing the 3 different types of brass at the same time suggested the S&B brass wasn't great and the weights just confirmed it.
Might hang on to the SB brass for hunting ammo (don't care if I loose it).
If I can find a cheap deal on once fired Hornady I'll go that way (new Hornady cost more than Lapua), or I'll get new Sako or Starline brass.

If I get premium brass (Lapua, Peterson, Alpha etc) then I'll get new dies at the same time.

Your "Inventory..." How did it get that way?

Do you still have the TEAC r2r? Did you dad have original r2r albums or did he just buy recordable tapes and record records on to the tapes? If you have any OG r2r official copies (1970s) that would be cool and you may be able to make some money off them. R2r is a super nice market these days, but people do use them.

R2R is the best sound but very limited availability. Try getting Iron Butterfly Live, and absolutely amazing recording, on R2R. I have it on vinyl and on my Technics SP10 Mk II it will surprise you.

Cleaning and abrasives and Fire Lapping

Frank Green said:
Here is another good one for ya....

Back when we did a ton of R&D barrels for Remington for the MSR rifles I get a phone call out of the blue from one of the engineers. They were down in TX doing testing. Also had military guys there from what I remember. Caliber was 338 Lapua if I remember correctly. Might have been 300wm. Anyways both guns are just being hammers with box ammo. Then he tells me... the next day one of the guns just quite shooting. I forget the distance but it was at long range. He said the day before the gun was shooting .7moa or better with box ammo and the next day rounds wouldn't even hit paper. Wild shots going every where! Low round count on the barrel as well. I said, The gun just doesn't quit shooting like that. Some body did something somewhere. I asked the normal questions... same lot of ammo, scope issues, was it cleaned and what and how etc... he said the gun wasn't in they're control/possession the whole time. I said... better start asking questions and digging into it. The other rifle was still pounding nice small groups.

Turned out someone ended up fire lapping the barrel on that one gun! Here's your sign!

Dang that fired a couple of brain cells in my head

I was once teaching a class of 20 police snipers all with the same 26” REM 700 PSS’s. I took one case of Fed 175’s in 308 and did ten rds in each on chronograph. The average velocity ranged from 2450 to 2650. Guess which guns were slower? The couple DIY fire lapping Not a big sample and was told they shot better after fire lapping but the fire lapping bullets I had bought to try have not been used in twenty years because of it

I understand a true smith doing a touch up on lapping to get final machine marks out because he knows what he is doing but I put DIY lapping barrels with DIY crowning. Don’t do it yourself. Leave to professionals

Another Original Idea from Hornady

They seem to be able to make better knockoffs than original product. My brother gave me 100 of the 175 temu smk to try. Causes me great pain to say it, but I think hornady builds a better smk than Sierra.

They can build a better bullet than the knock off smk's.

I got hold of some of the knock off smk's that were sold to me as Sierra second's . I won't be doing business with that company anymore since they're liars, not a single bullet more.

They were so bad I'm not wasting powder on them, trash 🗑️.

I have had problems with Hornady bullets like their inexpensive 223 bullets, blatantly those suck, measure some for yourself.

As far as making better than Sierra or Berger, I doubt it and Hornady didn't make that claim (wise move). I believe it was implied you (not me) lol couldn't shoot the difference and could use your privios load data.

I'm ordering some more Aeromatch in 223 to QC and test against some Sierra 69g I have.

That will be a good test . I want an honest 500 yard load for my 20" DMR.

Yeah that's how I've always set mine up.
I've only used Redding in the past but can't get a FL bushing die locally (not in the US), but Hornady are available.

Another option would be to remove/grind down the expander ball and then run a mandrel through.
I've never used a mandrel before as typically use a bushing die with good brass (Lapua).
Click to expand...

Yeah the Hornady will work fine. And until I see a problem where I would need a mandrel and an extra step then I am just sticking to my FL bushing dies.
