1 in 12 twist / 155 Scenar stabilize?

Hi there and thanks for the reply. I am a Palma shooter from Australia. Very little info regarding these projectiles.155 scenar L). I have shot these projectiles for about 8 years with good effect but not brilliant. I am now after brilliant, these bullets are by far the best when you compare them to other 155’s eg weight, length. We need 3020fps,iam running 45.0 grains of Adi 2206h.
Again Thankyou for replying.
Regards Paul
Switch to 155.5 Berger Full Bores. They are brilliant

Gunsmithing Thompson Center announces the acquisition of Green Mountain Barrels

Their gunsmith raw barrel blanks have been great for me. At sub $100 for a rifled blank, I was able to profile and chamber some barrels that have done really well. And I don't see anyone else in that nitch right now. Everyone else's blanks are $500ish. For someone wanting to make budget priced bolt gun barrels, its a let down if they stop making those.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

It has to do with scale and drone control. If there are too many and too far away (due to drone control maybe 100m is too far) you simply either die or you suffer consequences. West is used of skirmishes not total war hence skewered expectations and statistics. Im really not optimist in the short term as people in general will not mobilize until severe world of hurt experience and we are far from it yet.

If you buy beef by the percentage of how much cow it encompasses, I have some questions...

No problem finding things in a freezer chest if it's only holding ground beef. Put the rest of the cow in the upright freezer.
I've got both because I got in a bind this fall when I shot a Moose and needed a freezer asap.
I've been good with the chest so far since it's only moose, I separated it the roasts in one corner, steaks in another, ground in one and sausage in the last.

I'll probably end up with another freezer since I drew an elk tag.

Suppressors and magneto speed chronograph use?

Or you could use one of the extension rods if you didn’t want to hook it to the can itself.

I know there are many other uppers that are thermal fit (BCM, Centurion, etc.), but I'm looking for the thickest upper that is thiccc all the way to the threads, with a forward assist.

510 Whisper Build Advice (Stock/Bottom Metal/Magazines/Twist/Barrel Length)

What is the neck size on finished/loaded brass? Per wikipedia (not the most tusted source but since there is no SAAMI spec...) the neck is 0.549". Bullets measure 0.510. My brass is 0.015" at the unsized neck. So thats 0.540. No neck turning would be needed? Something doesn't add up... Ok, they list base AND shoulder diam both as 0.587". Lapua has a bit of taper to it so I know the shoulder will be smaller than that. Ok, the wiki numbers are wrong then.
