Will this brass still make accurate ammo

11 firings.
Alpha munitions 6.5cm OCD LRP brass
Ive Annealed every firing. Now theres these wonky ridges on the insides of the necks and can feel them slightly on the outside but theyre not as pronounced as the insides are. When I resize I always full length size using the sac die with the expander mandrel inside so its all in one step. Does anyone know what causes this? And how to avoid this in the future? My other lots of brass dont have them at 5 and 4 firings.
I've seen the same kind of thing on the inside of my brass necks, but not near as pronounced. I've never seen or felt anything on the outside of the neck and none of mine have looked like that right after firing. After firing, it just looks completely coated with burnt powder residue.

I do anneal after every firing and clean the necks outside with some steel wool, then lube and size just the outside of the case without cleaning the inside of the neck. After dry tumbling, to remove lube, I then use an expander mandrel to expand the necks and I always get some of that. Since I don't clean the inside of the neck, other than what the dry tumbling does, I figure what I see is just from the residual powder residue that the expander mandrel is rubbing on. What I see appears to be so thin, like in microns, that with the residual lube from tumbling it just doesn't seem to have any affect.

Well, you don't say what length, but this is a very decent handguard. I have one and am very pleased with it.
Thanks I have a 24in barrel with a +1 gas tube. The longer the better

That sounds good.
Could you expand on the preparation of the 🥒 cucumber salad any?
A friend gave me this and think it will work?

Asked my wife and she says it’s basically the Ikea recipe she saw online, but instead of just one type vinegar she uses a mix of 2 parts rice wine vinegar and 1 part white wine vinegar, and then adds a tiny little bit of filtered water from our sink tap To “mellow it out” a bit.

She does add a pinch or two of both sugar and salt, and we just use regular dried dill out of the spice drawer unless we happen to have some fresh from the herb garden.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Guys while interesting how you make due lets try to keep on topic. Just the mere fact you’re discussing what you are makes you old fucks as young fucks don’t think in the same terms as “we” hence in 10-20 years this ponzi schemes will all collapse now alternative for which politicians are fighting is that young fucks disappear first through war.

Athlon Ares ETR gen 2 vs Athlon Cronus BTR gen 2

That begs the question, did you find a Cronus for a great deal, or an Ares ETR that's not. 🤣🤣🤣
We're talking the ETR G2 here so maybe it's up there with the, now older (totally antiquated-just kidding), Cronus G2.

If that G2 ETR is anything like my Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50 is then it is likely very impressive in this space of rifle scopes.

I'd like to compare myself to see the differences which I suspect have become very close.

For you guys using the ar15 platform. I looking to upgrade my hand guard to a free float one. Any suggestion without braking the bank. I don’t mind if I had to but like to keep that cost down.
Well, you don't say what length, but this is a very decent handguard. I have one and am very pleased with it.

A question of "cash"?

Cash cannot be easily tracked, monitored, or denied.
Plus, studies have shown people spend more when just plopping down a piece of plastic.
Although I have not paid one cent of credit card interest in several decades.
You must not have any "cash price" places in your area or haven't paid attention to the signs. Lots of places around here add the 3% to card purchases, so while you haven't paid interest, you may have paid the vendor fees. If I see the signs I pay cash, Im. sure I've paid plenty of vendor fees.
