Buffer trouble.

If youre still having trouble after trying some of what was mentioned here, maybe shoot a little video with the ejection port being the target. In some situations, extreme over gassing could also cause the issues you're having, but I would think if that was the case, other problens would be manifesting themselves.... like torn case rims.

Thank you everyone who has purchased tickets! JT, the president of the SSA, should be taking this rifle out to be photographed sometime soon. I should have some new photos of this M40A5 raffle rifle and kit soon, and I'll post them in this this thread when I receive them. Thanks again, everyone!

Not to throw the thread off track but all you guys posting pm inbound be very careful of scammers replying to you.
The other day, someone reposted in another forum what I listed here in the BST forum within 10 minutes of my posting. They will also create profiles similar to the original poster, like BrainPTR, BrianPRT, etc, and then reply to people here.

Also, I always accept PayPal G&S for payment if anyone requests to use it.

Maggie’s What's Your View II

Been a good week for knocking out a couple projects. A couple of the guys at deer camp “insulated” our hut. The wood stove would have had it melted in short order. I put a proper pad under the stove and some fiber board and leftover siding behind it. Should be good to go now.

Second project was making this small deck as a replacement for a too small step. Watching my 89 and 90 yr old parents negotiate that step puckered me up every time. This should prove safer…

Will let it sit a couple weeks to be sure it’s completely dry before adding any finish…

IDTS Dry Fire Questions

From what I can tell the IDTS system allows you to focus close and get multiple targets (different sizes & distances) on their screen. I like that the target size (in moa) is known. I assume that the system does not tell you if you hit or miss and you have to rely on your ability to call your shot for that. Is this correct?

At under $200 it seems like a good tool for PRS training. Is it?

POI Channge @100 Yards With a 'Similar' Load

On my 6.5CM I changed from shooting:
140 gr. berger @ 2690 fps (2250 ft-lbs) to 147 gr. ELD-M @2784 (2530 ft-lbs)

At 100 yards the 147 gr. load hits almost 1 moa higher than the 140 gr. load. Is the increased energy causing more recoil /muzzle flip resulting in the upward shift in POI? The 147 gr. load does have 12% more energy, but I am shooting a MPA rifle set up for PRS (heavy - w/ scope & bipod probably over 19 lbs.).
