Russia/China Intel failure?

$100 says that we have already gleaned EVERY face and personal story of those who had murdered Christians and Alawite civilians for fun in Syria earlier this year. These fuckers are already dead, they just don't know it yet...
Well they are US proxies so of course your intel agencies know who they are.
There will be no recompense.

XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

If that rifle was re-barreled while still in service I don't see why they'd send the rifle back to the corps with the original barrel still included. My guess is that rifle is one of the back door cmp sold guns and the owner sent it to iba to have a new barrel installed. That still leaves the mystery of why they'd remove the paint from the action but who knows, people do stupid things with their rifles. Also, maybe iba removed the finish without even asking the owner. After the other members experience here with them its not out of the question.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

A polish pensioner when when Russia could have used ballistic missiles on multiple occasions in the past years.
Of course the claim is from Ukraine and the source is 'trust us bro'.
Weird this happened when Iran/Israel is getting all the attention too.

Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

Yeah, you’d go through a barrel just doing that. If I modified my test plan such that it was 50 rounds in the non-annealed group, and maybe 25 in the annealed group, it would 9 total trips to the range at a total of 75 + 70 + 65 + 60 + 55 + 50 + 45 + 40 + a final to test the mixed batch at 65 (5 of each round count plus 25 annealed). That’s still more than 500 rounds total, but a lot more doable.
Hmmm??? Unless such a test is done in a controlled environment (like a test tunnel. . . or a very long warehouse ;)), I'm not sure how such an extensive test might be valid. 🤷‍♂️

I know the guy the runs the website at the Precision Rifle Blog has recently built himself a very nice test tunnel, but haven't heard yet how he's been using it. In the past, he's run various tests, but I think they're mostly sponsored. It'd be cool if he would run a test such as this.

Annealed brass opinion

One reason I decap (forgot that) and tumble before flame annealing is to remove some of the lead residue.

I use a 21 Century primer

I also use a Chargemaster Supreme. Probably my biggest gain would come from moving to a better changing system like the FX-120i but it is not in the budget right now.

I already spend far too much time reloading. I’m trying to be very careful about what I add to the mix. I don’t weight sort my bullets or cases much less primers, so there is that too.
I don't worry about the lead residue as I minimize contact with the small amounts of lead wearing gloves when I clean the necks with steel wool. And I really don't want to remove any or just remove very little residue on the inside of the necks. The order of my cleaning takes care of the inside of the necks very well, minimizing interference to where running a mandrel through the neck and seating is quite smooth and consistent. But, I can understand one's caution about contact with lead contaminated things. Maybe I should wear a respirator when reloading or even when shooting??? ;):LOL: I like the different smells of burnt gunpowder. :eek:

Yeah, I'm sure upgrading to a better scale would produce a significant gain in SD's for you. It did for me when I move from my ChargeMaster to the FX-120i. :rolleyes:

BTW: Besides sort primers and bullets, I also tested sorting cases by weight and found that too really does help, where one simply removes the outliers and just using them as fouling shots. I took the sorted cases and fired them in groups having either the same or close to the same weight in a series of shots. I also compared 5 cases from each end of the sorting to see what kind of difference there might be and found it was significant. I did this with my .308 fire formed Lapua cases uniformed before weight sorting.

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

Don't brag until those 3 scopes have made it through a season or two without breaking.

I think most of us agree that the scope is impressive, but March has virtually no established support or customer service record to stand on in the US (yet).

If one of those scopes go down, come back and tell us how long that customer will be without his Gucci glass.
lol these scopes have been on rifles for over a year in testing boss! We have done shit to them you’d never even remotely do to an actual competition rifle and they haven’t failed!

But of course you know that already being an actual shooter who competes in the actual sport it was designed for. Oh and as for down time… it’ll be less than a kahles, or S&B but def more than some of them… just grab another one off the shelf and try again right.

I wonder who was the designer behind so many of those beloved scopes on the market… hmmm
