Oh something I’d recommend would be to make the hole have a lower cross sectional width.

I’m part of the form 1 suppressor forum and there have been a lot of discussions when it comes to POI shift when it comes to end cap thickness.
The general consensus that was reached was the less the better or you can get a tunnel effect where the gasses pass around the projectile, bounce off the walls of the cap and cause instability.
This does apply less and less the greater the difference in size is between the bore and projectile. So a bigger hole, less poi but also more decibels. A thin wall for the hole + the appropriate .06-.085 overbore diameter eliminates the POI shift.

Interesting. Would have the added benefit of lighter weight too. I’ll have my 375 version in hand this week and can measure bore diameter of it.

I’m not disagreeing, but I have a very, very hard time with the thought that a father would not want to see his son do well, and certainly better than he could have ever done.

My joy whether it be a PRS competition, or a water ski tournament or a high school basketball game has always been to see Will III do well. If he finishes above me, and he always does, I couldn’t be happier. (I actually finished ahead of him in ONE stage, in One match. 9 -8. My last shot at 1057 yards won the day) In the match, he outshot me by something like two hits to my every one. And again, seeing him place well up in the standings, was a source of pride.

And what parent wouldn’t want to see their son or daughter excel. It’s a dad’s job. Make them good citizens and give them the physical and mental tools to achieve the goals and excel in their life’s choices.

That's because you're not a sociopath. Think Charlene Theron and her two transgender children. It's difficult for "normal" people to visualize how a narcissistic sociopath thinks. The first clue is his inability to stand on the sidelines and allow his son to live his life. It's one thing to speak to your son, or daughter, in private giving parental advice. Quite another being your child's publicist and sabotaging them by bad mouthing their coach publicly. There's zero evidence Horner was mistreating or misguiding Max. Quite the opposite actually. This enraged Jos as Jos likely believes he's solely responsible for Max's success.

i think there is some interest in Alberta to join US. BC would be great but ate up with commies,libs,Chinese. beautiful place with a big coast line but...Alberta leaving would start a civil war. the nat'l gov is all commie. that would be a war that would be rational and in our interest to aid. not the corrupt fucks in Israel and Ukraine.

Light bullets in 6.5 creedmoor

S
How have the 140 class projectiles worked for you with IMR 4895? Or IMR 4451, Superformance, or H414? I have all these already, and Hodgden says they do well with the lighter fodder. Now if the 140's, or 130's, work with IMR 4895, this day's getting better. Also, I only have about 3# of H4350 left, so I'm looking for possible replacements. Cheaper replacements.

I asked about Hornady because they're around $35 per hundred at many places, whereas the Bergers are around $50 per hundred. I fully understand that you get what you pay for, but right now, I don't think the Hornady projectiles would be holding me back. Seems like there's a few guys who fininsh in the money who shoot Hornady. Plus I'm cheap.

Frank recommended 130's for 6.5CM on his review of the Detroit Rifleworks barreled action. I think he was using Norma golden target; I haven't found anyone who likes it. That said, his rationale on the 130's makes sense - heavy enough for visible impact or splash but light enough to go fast. FWIW, my barrel is 24". Just trying to be all I can be while being as cheap as I can be.

Thanks and God bless America.

NITROCELLULOSE - FROM IMPORT TO END PRODUCT

Curious about the manufacturing chain.

If most of our Nitrocellulose is imported, is most of what we’re doing actually just postprocessing?

Like, different retardants for different rounds?

Couldn’t find any good articles online.

It's been my understanding for a long time that most of the nitrocellulose in the US is imported and most of that which is imported comes from China.

Maybe this'll give you a good idea where it's all coming from:
