6.5 Creedmoor

Personally I think waiting to fire form to begin serious load development is a waste of components. I shot these groups today out of 1x fired Lapua SRP brass from someone’s else’s gun. Fireforming will just help my brass prep be as consistent as possible going forward.
I've had very good results out of 1x brass from a different chamber as well. I have not however had very very good results with virgin brass. Even though I've had good results with 1x brass, I'd still have more peace of mind after I've fired the brass at least 1x out of the chamber I will use it in. Obviously, everyone's experience will vary.


All I'm saying is, there's LRP at decent prices and since he already has 1x brass, I wouldn't want to move on. Buy enough primers to shoot the barrel out and you're set.

Cincinnati Chili doesn’t have beans. Texas chili doesn't have beans. My chili doesn't have beans. The rest of the population of earth, puts beans in their chili. Chili without beans is hotdog sauce. Why do we have to keep going through this

Not sure about this. New Mexico chili has no beans, no beef and no tomatos. It has green chile, pork, onions, garlic and taters. Definitely not red either. (guess you can put red chile in too, sorry) Also spell it Chile. Guess that means we all get a choice of what we like. Cincinnati chili is really weird with nutmeg and chocolate too so guess it takes all kinds.

I'll see myself out, sorry to offend you.

"Fuck this" and "fuck that" are okay, but a picture of a boob that I can't even remember posting (the fully clothed woman with the gun? Or Sweeny with a top on?!?!?) is out of bounds?

Again, please accept my semi-sincerest apologies, sir. Had no idea a legacy woman in a bathing suit would be so offensive around here. 🏳️‍🌈

See....they always end up being a smartass about it.
Welcome to my long list of ignore.
And the thinly veiled accusations that we are faggots...priceless.

Manual dump + trickle

The main engineering difficulty with tha manual thrower is (seems to be) getting it directly over the scale. Its pretty easy to mount it on a desk (or plank, C clamped to the desk, etc). But its harder to have something where you can throw into a cup on the scale/ fx120i.

If anyone has a simple or clever fix for that, let me know.
No need to measure weight of each manual throw.

10 second showdown

I made it out to the range to try this out. My raw times weren't great and I didn't shoot any clean. I didn't use anything fancy, it's the same rig I use for 2-gun, DMR, etc..an Uncle Mike's comp belt, Safariland ALS, and assorted mag carriers. The pistol is a G34 with Timney trigger and Brownell's Glock barrel.

I could probably shoot it clean under 10 with some dryfire practice and more reps.

Accessories WTS- Triple Pull Ckyepod $800.69

The bipod is in near perfect shape. The only wear is on the spiked feet where a rifle was stowed on a concrete bench for a range day.

I am selling as I don’t have a use, and trying to recoup some funds. $800 shipped, Venmo f&f.
