ARC Coup de Grace Builds

A diamond one pound and under can experience the dead trigger with the pivoting handle. Ask me how I know. I switched to non pivoting and the problem solved. I’m at 13oz on my diamonds. Owning several Archimedes and starting with a pivoting cdg I can honestly say I’m not sure I’ve ever truly needed the function. I don’t load high pressure nor am I running crazy calibers. Op of asking this question if you want to run under a pound I wouldn’t be worried about getting the non pivoting one.
I like the pivoting handle of the Archimedes because it allows for a fairly light bolt lift with a super strong striker spring (I think they’re 26lbs). My Nuke 2.0 I run a 19lbs and it still doesn’t even come close to it.
I run trigger tech 2stage on both my Arch and my CDG at sub 1lbs and never had an issue and I run the bolt really hard. The single stage diamond I run on the Nuke at 6oz, never had an issue either.
I’m still not 100% sold on the CDG vs the Arch … I can’t exactly explain it …

Amp Mate

I’ve used my ampmate for thousands and thousands of pieces of brass. It’s a great tool. There are videos of a guy pairing it with a Giraud. In really big cases like 338 lm and 300 PRC, it’s a bit finicky, but for most average sized cases it allows me to do another operation while it’s running.

With Anzio essentially defunct, is anyone else making 20mm or larger modern rifles available in the U.S.?

I was using some CCI primers that I use in reloading 50bmg. Current batch fired fine in every 50bmg I loaded for the range.
Bushing brass, 869 powder that Mike loaded up here at the shop that were coming undone. So I pulled several rounds, split the powder and reloaded.. Blue practice bullet. Anzio #112 with the good barrel (long story), pulled the trigger, nothing, then boom about 3secs later. Knicked the end of the suppressor so we just pulled the other rounds. Mike said we might need to put some pistol powder on the bottom and some cotton filler. So that ended that idea of using 50 primers.
Unclear why what you described ended with you stopping using the known-good CCIs. Unless the primer was destroyed or blew out and lost in the process, what did it look like - light strike? Sure sounds like an ignition problem unrelated to using the CCIs.

Hey ... it's $200

I don’t know if this will have much effect but - this being in the news showed a lot of “fair weather shooters” that suppressors aren’t limited to current or retired LEO. A surprising number of people have asked me recently about getting one.

That being said, most of them still have a few barriers to entry. Their rifle muzzle isn’t threaded. The pencil barrel on their hunting rifle can’t be threaded. A new threaded barrel might cost more than they paid for the complete rifle/scope package. To most of those people these are serious barriers.

nuc i don't know. Hg contamination is huge for most fish in FL,salt or fresh. some fish worse than others,some way worse. have read that fresh is due to polluted wind patterns originating in China. their air pollution is massive,so maybe. salt water fish is from 100+ years of industrial and ag pollution. tuna,shark and tile fish supp the worst. my hg levels were thru the roof when i was eating 1 lb+ of offshore fish a week. in semi trop and trop you can also get Ciguatera. so,these days eating anything has risks. that sucks.
