Just curious if your powder charge of 34.2gr is a typo... the start load in Hornady's #11 is 37.3gr, and 38gr on the Hodgdon web site for the 147gr ELD-M.

not a typo, I got the data from Hornady online app. They said max is 43.8, I kept going up till I had Pressure signs, I was able to get it as far as 44.5 before the groups blew out and the bolt handle got real tight. I have found that the Berger 140 VLD does better groups and I can get 2900fps + with the same charge.

6mm arc alpha and peterson brass experience?

black5.3
I just built a 6ARC upper a few months ago and started with Starline 6ARC brass to break it in and get initial velocity info. The Starline brass showed pretty early pressure signs even with the gas turned down pretty low(Superlative Arms adjustable gas block). This was with Leverevolutiins and Berger 108 Elite Hunters.

I bought 200 pcs of Alpha 6ARC and initial fire forming and showing very similar charge weight/velocity between Starline and the Alpha. I usually don't take the initial firing es/sd numbers too seriously but so far they look promising. I am hanging around 29.0-29.2gr Leverevolution with the Berger 108’s and seeing averages around 2600fps out if a 20” barrel. Im loading these with a autotrickler v2 so charges are consistent and seating depths are +/- .002”. I still get a few random velocities that will swing +/- 40-50fps so im hoping after this initial firing on the brass that will get sorted out.

I plan to compete in a few gas gun matches with this rig next year.

Tinnitus treatment

H
Here’s the deal about tinnitus, and why you don’t hear it when you’re listening to something else… Your body sends weak signals to your ears to stimulate them, even when it’s really quiet. It’s your bodies way of doing a “system check” on your ears. That signal is transmitted to your brain to say “system good.” In people with normal hearing, this signal is basically imperceptible. But, when a person has sustained hearing damage, the body turns up the “check signal” (because the weaker signal is insufficient to complete the loop) and that is what you hear as ringing when it is quiet. When you are listening to something else, you don’t hear the ringing- or it is lessened- because your body isn’t sending the same intensity of “check signal”; it knows your ears are working because you are listening to something. This is also, likely, why hearing aids seem to lessen tinnitus.

From the reading that I’ve done, “tinnitus remedies” are universally snake oil.

My tinnitus is made worse by ear buds, ear muffs, ear plugs, and sleeping on my side. Drinking alcohol also makes it worse. And, too much or too little caffeine makes it worse. And, air travel makes it worse.

I can’t stand white noise and a fan buzzing away will keep me up at night. I don’t remember not having tinnitus (though I know it got more noticeable after an ear injury at a water park). And, my mom (who was not a shooter) also had tinnitus. I guess I’ve just learned to live with the ring. For me, it is a VERY high pitched ring, and I can increase the volume by clenching my teeth, or contorting my jaw. I feel for those of you with locusts buzzing about between your ears. That would drive me batty.

What happened? The fires were intentionally set so someone could buy the land or forfeit it because nobody will be able to rebuild on it due to bureaucracy process. It was no coincidence it was in the news as a fire hazard and a few days later it went up in smoke. Not weeks later just a few days later. Muh climate change!

ENGLISH- do you speak it, moi droog?

Lots of bridges, train trestles, and all manner of transportation infrastructure seem to be falling down today, also in Mother Russia.

I guess Komrade Putin should have invested some of that "3-Day Special Military Operation" money into revitalizing the infrastructure instead of letting everything Stalin built just rot!

😜

I'm actually creeped by this post because all your stuff is 100% projection.

You are a little-red-book Commie Shithole who logs on every day to call other people "Commie" and hate on America.

What are we to make of it when you also start calling people "kid piddling soddomites?"

URSA NorCal - Sunday, June 15, 2025

E
URSA NorCal - Sunday, June 15, 2025

Location – Clear Lake area (same as prior, coordinates 39°14'21.0"N 122°50'50.0"W)

NOTE: Following the June event, URSA will be dark during the various deer hunting seasons, resuming events in October.

Setup will be done late Saturday or early Sunday morning by our NorCal crew. Target(s) will be in place at minimum 2000 yards. IRIS hit-indicators will be in place and be the sole control for official hits and misses. The initial target distance for NorCal is 2147 yards, all California-legal firearms and ammunition are allowed, no weight restrictions, and no fees.

The Match Director will decide how many shooters need to be signed up to move forward with this event. Unless the event is formally cancelled (as announced on this and other posting sites), assume it is going forward.

IF you want to shoot multiple rifles, you need to complete a registration for each one. If you expect to be shooting with us more than once, I suggest you do yourself a favor and build a text file in your word processor and then just copy and paste. NOTE: IF you seriously think you will score 5 in 10 or better, please DO take the time to enter ALL the info requested in the Build Sheet section - will save me e-mailing you to get missing info and hasten getting results posted on the URSA site (News and Stats pages) and the non-Cal Guns sites. Thanks.

If you want to shoot this event, you MUST sign up ONLINE (see below). Registrations MUST be received no later than 1 PM the day before the event. There will be NO onsite registrations. Registration is required for all shooters, spotters, and anyone that will be on or in the general proximity of the shooting line. NO exceptions!

The URSA Official Course of Fire is at FAQ 13, near the bottom of this page on the URSA website - https://www.unlimitedrange.org/operations.html All shooter should review the course of fire prior to arriving at the venue. Substantial additional data regarding URSA events are included on the same web page.

Sign-Ups: URSA uses the online program, Zoho Forms, to capture shooter Liability Releases and Build Sheet data, and spotter/other Liability Releases – Liability Releases are signed and dated at the event. Please use the appropriate link at the top of the Activity/Event Schedule page (http://www.unlimitedrange.org/activity event schedule.html). If you have any problem with the online form, please e-mail me ASAP ([email protected]). BTW, the form asks for limited “address” info (only city, state, and ZIP), we do NOT need your street address.
