Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

Here are the problems with conclusively proving how much one thing or another helps your precision:

Individually, the improvements you make for adding or improving a specific step are pretty small. They are small enough that without a large sample size, critics will tell you that the improvement is within the margin of error. Then, when you do actually use a large enough sample, they'll say it's something else.

So, why is it that some people have reliably lower SDs than others? Because they do a number of things together that, in the aggregate, produce meaningful results.




This would be a pretty invalid test for what you're looking for. Here's why:

1) It would have no bearing on brass life. EDIT: for clarification, one firing would have no bearing

2) It would likely have little to no impact on precision either. Firing brass that's newly annealed vs. brass that was annealed last firing will show little difference. Harder cases will spring back more after sizing and using a mandrel, and will thus exhibit a higher effective neck tension on the bullet. If they're all the same, you will get progressively higher effective neck tension as you go up in the number of firings, which will ramp pressure progressively as well, but with proper prep, they should all maintain a consistent firing profile with respect to each other. Whether this pressure ramp impacts precision down range is entirely dependent on a vast array of other variables - some of which will change by the hour.

3) Even going to 3 or 4 firings, as long as you're firing the same group of brass (e.g. they all have the same number of firings), and you use other mitigating factors in your reloading process, you probably won't see much difference. This is provided you keep the brass separated by number of firings.

The most effective way to test would be to get a group of brass that you never anneal, let's say 40 pieces. Each firing you pull 5 out and put them aside. This will give you a group of brass ranging from 1 to 8 firings since annealing. Then fire them all together, measure the SDs and group size of that group vs. another group that's been freshly annealed.

I've done enough testing on other things. Perhaps I'll do that once I get my newly rebarreled 308 dialed in again. Would be a fun, if long, test to do.

Yeah, truthfully that test would not be much fun at all in my opinion, but I want to address how it's done. What I described above was two batches of brass, (100ea), one group is annealed before the first and after each firing, the control group is never annealed. Do identical brass prep on both sets, load them all an identical known load in a simple chambering that won't require cleaning a carbon ring before you can get through 200 rounds, and record precision on each group. After 8 rounds, let's see what the difference in the brass is. 10 rounds, 12 rounds, 20 rounds.

It will be expensive, boring and monotonous, but it will prove definitively what the tangible effects of the annealer are. If someone had a decent YouTube channel and hyped it correctly, it would probably get a million views in the first week..

Remington MSR / PSR bolts

M
Update: I was able to time the bolt handles. Had to rework the fixture, but got the result I needed. I tested a complete bolt assembly in the receiver, looked good. Added a magazine and I identified an additional feature that will need adjustment. That should hopefully be the last milling operation and then on to finishing. So, now to design another fixture and order some endmills...

Fascinating. Skepticism is a good thing and can lead to good science, but there are forms of it that just doesn't lead to progress. 🤷‍♂️

In the spreadsheet I posted, I took the values right off each of his chronograph readings as he fired them since they were not published anywhere. And the group sizes weren't affected by atmospherics since the shooting was done in a controlled environment. Yet, you apparently reject the test, perhaps as anecdotal??? What do you really want to convince you?

No, you misunderstand. Didn't disregard your data, and in fact, thank you for sharing it. It's just a very small sample size. That data may prove out over a thousand rounds, or ten-thousand, but you know 10 rounds isn't a large enough sample size to make any declarations. I've shot 10rd groups back to back with no changes and seen noticeable changes in group size and SD and the like. Thank you for your spreadsheet, and it does as much as anything I've seen as far as reasonable testing, just needs more. Ten groups of ten shots each way would probably be enough to tell the truth.

Iran go boom

Well it seems Kabuki just kicked off , the bases under attack were evacuated days ago

Now if you want a hatrick on predictions US will not respond to having its bases bombed.


US-Iranian action at the moment ,plenty of audio visuals , less kinetic

So that was it... Operation Midnight Hammer, a series of useless hole punches into the mountain ridge. A proportional response followed from the other side. Courtesy of both parties, there was just enough communication to avoid escalation.And just like that, this episode of the Middle East show concludes. Wolves fed, and all goats counted. Stay tuned for the next installment, after this commercial break...


Kabuki play concluded like predicted.

Russia/China Intel failure?

Thank Rubio at least in part. He is doing a better job than I anticipated. I think that his experience on the Senate Intel Oversight Committee gives him more a more complete understanding of what is really going on now that he is in the Trump Admin.

I'd rather it were that, than a rope-a-dope.
