Well, since it’s this thread, I should answer something to the effect that your mama is so big…

But actually it’s something my 10 yo grandson drew using MS Paint. It depicts an imaginary monster that fits into a fun card game we’ve played called Monsdrawsity.

But the resemblance to your momma is remarkable….😁

Toughest scope mounts?

ARC has been pretty weak in my experience. Mine and a buddy's MBrace mounts cracked and broke right at the hinge with no major impacts. My going theory is cold temps caused it. The LRF bridge is tough as hell but the rings, not so much.

I've heard a couple reports of this, but haven't seen any pictures-- and I'd love to see some if you have them. It's fairly obvious the expected failure point of the ARC design would occur in hinge pins themselves or in the "fingers" for the hinge pins in the base or rings caps. I have yet to have any failures in my sample size (10 mounts and 1 set of rings.) Not saying the ARC design can't fail, but they appear to be failing at a far lower rate than say scalarworks where you can easily find lots of pictures of broken ring hinges. If I had one of my ARCs fail I'd switch brands again, just like I did with Spuhr, only this time I'm not waiting until I have a 45% failure rate to change brands, lol

How cold was it when you had the failures? Several of my M-brace mounts have seen lots of use and bouncing around on quads and side by sides with heavy razor gen 3s and S&B 5-25s down in the 15-30f range for a couple years now with no issues, but that's not as cold as is it gets elsewhere...

I suppose if I really wanted to torture test them I could stick them in a thermal chamber here at work... they'll go down to -321F, but that's a bit excessive, lol.

6.5 Creedmoor

Question regarding the Hodgdon loading data. I entered 140g bullet and it gives a max load of 40.0gr. I'm using 1x fired Hornady brass for the time being as I had over 1500 pieces. Most of the load data I found was using over 41 grains, I have been using 41.2 for the last couple hundred rounds. The data Hodgdon gives seems low or am I most likely using too much powder. I'm averaging about 2805fps with a suppressor (less without) and nice grouping so pretty happy with the results. But, I'm new to reloading so lots to learn. Using H4350 and Berger 140g hybrid target.

So most reloading data from a manufacturer is going to be conservative for legal reasons.

Hodgdon's listed max 40.0gr load is also listed 59.2K PSI, or about 3K less than max SAAMI pressure (and many people will go over that by a bit and still not see pressure).

As long as you aren't seeing ejector marks, smears and otherwise damage to your brass, I think that 41.2 is fine.

If you haven’t already, go check it out.

I don't run it. It's actually a guy name Tim Plowman who does. He just has a lot of my pictures and research posted on there.

As far as my vote Jeremy, I would have both. :)

Y’all are some gullible full blown retards helping some guy with his cuck fantasies.

“My husband and I have been away from the forum for a while so just reintroducing ourselves” How do you “reintroduce” yourself when you signed up October 2024, never posted and show back up last Tuesday?

S&B 3-18x Meta click adjustment question

The turret is in mils even if S&B labeled it 1 click = 1 cm @ 100M (yay base 10 units of measurement) so it will be much easier to calculate all your data in mils and not bring inches of drop into things.

As far as why you hit at 200 and didn't make it at 300 I'm thinking you didn't snug the setscrews on the turret tight enough after zeroing and the turret slipped when dialing to 300, but even then you should have only hit low and still made it onto a 36 x 36 target. Did you try dialing back down and shooting again at 200 and 100 to see if it dialed back to zero properly?

I doubt that the scope is out of elevation adjustment (doubtful even on a 0MOA rail as the 3-18 has 30.5 mils of elevation travel which should be plenty.)

I'd verify zero and resnug the elevation turret screws first, and you may want to lock the rifle down and dial a tracking test on a tall target to see if the scope is tracking properly.
