India vs Pakistan

POTUS' surrender to the Soviets on behalf of the United States on July 16, 2018- 100 years to the day that the Communist Revolution was successful in murdering the Tsar and his family and raising the Hammer and Sickle banner.

Trump spent the whole prior week trashing our allies and fluffing Putin, before they went face to face in Helsinki.

Old KGB men toasted with piss warm vodka at tube TVs inside dilapidated Khrushchevkas... and wept for their Rooskie Animal mentors who didn't live to see the day.

They sacrificed so much trying to defeat the Free World head to head in competition- but all it took was one well placed fool.

i think the worst part of this is that you believe this. this is your reality and you believe it. im worried about you, bud. this isnt healthy for you to live in an alternate reality.

6.5 PRC Loads

6.5 PRC out of a Sako S20 24" barrel was super easy for me to load. Virgin Lapua brass, H1000, 143 gr ELDX, and BR2 primers. Loaded up three approaching max book load to check for pressure. Loaded next seven at 59.0 grains and got a .7 MOA group (WITH one called wide), 2930 fps, 6.2 SD.

The load / rifle combo is a laser. Adding a Scythe-TI to it only changed POI about .1 mil low, still way sub-MOA groups. I've thought about chasing some more velocity, or trying the 156 Bergers, but why mess with success?

6.5 Creedmoor

I’m probably way overthinking it. Just want to make sure I am well below pressure signs. I’ve been running 42.5gr staball when hogdon max is 44gr. First time using h4350 and hogdon max is 40.0 which seems real low and hornady is 41.5. I see most guys in the 40-42.5 range but know some see pressure before 41.5 and some run at 44+.

I was thinking I’ll load up to 43 gr and once I see marks or heavy bolt lifts I’ll stop and pull the higher loads apart. I will NOT knowingly keep shooting higher charges once I find those marks.

If you truly want to find pressure kind of like I tried, load 2 of each going up in .3 or .2 increments until you see signs. Stop at the very first sign and if you have any doubt at any point, stop.

6.5 Creedmoor

If you’re not shooting something like prairie dogs or coyotes with a fast .22 then a few extra fps means nothing. Just load like Rob said at 41, dial in you kestrel and crush targets. I load 41.2 with a 140 hybrid and I’m 2,760 in a 26” krieger. This is all you need to do and there’s a reason why almost everyone is right in this ballpark. Your concern of being to much pressure dependent on your environmental conditions is not there around this charge weight. It’s also basically a proven accurate load with the components you are using. It’s just the easy button.

Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

I have zero idea why you are upset. I said nothing offensive to you at all.

As for that little spot in the groove, dunno what it is. Looks a lot like the reflection seen elsewhere it the pic. Ot it could be a very small flaw. I can’t really tell

Cheers and I hope your day gets better. Positive energy, yeah (y) 👊
I’m not upset. No real insult intended.
