Any F1 racing fans?

What i really want to see is piastri destroy Norris. Next to George he's my least favorite driver by a large margin.
Same. I don't get too wrapped up in the personalities of drivers, but Norris really does seem like a whiny bitch. That and since all F1 media seems to be British and they are overly biased, I enjoy seeing the British drivers get beat.

6cm and the bullet unseating

That sounds like a chamber free bore issue more so than an ammo issue. With a SAAMI .183 freebore the factory ammo is about .040” off the lands, if I remember correctly. It’s definitely plenty far enough off to not be jammed into the lands and pull the bullet.

You either have a hell of a carbon ring built up or that change is short in freebore. How has it been cleaned? You know anyone who has an OAL gauge to check freebore?

And how did it perform on the first 100 rounds? Anything similar?

@Frank Green I had an idea yesterday in the shower. What if we took a sized case with bullet, drilled and tapped it for a die grinder arbor (like a Hornady COAL case), coated the bullet in Iosso, and then spun it with the die grinder (120psi) to remove the carbon. Would that be ok?
It’s really the only way to insure the chamber and throat is sized to YOUR cartridge.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

More importantly, the VAT has nothing to do with the 39% claimed on the President's chart. We already know how it was calculated. Why are you trying to pretend that it was calculated some other way?

39% is not a tariff in the EU on imported American goods. Stop lying.
What are, if any, tariffs on American goods?

First post here, but question regarding m855 ammo

I would take IMI 77gr Razor core over M855 for that application by a wide margin. Better damage and a much better chance of hitting the target.
But, green tip, man, GREEN TIP.

Not being required to shoot mil issued ammunition, I would choose just about anything other than m855- for almost any application.

I tried my hand at making “Mexican Match” ammo with m855. All I did was pull the bullet, run the case through a bushing die to squeeze the neck down a couple of thou, and seat a different bullet from what I had on hand. And, what I had on hand was a smattering of “hand me downs” from my uncle’s passing. All groups at 10 shots, except for the last which show that m855 can make decent groups.

Rifle Scopes Razor gen 3 upgrade

I own both (ZCO 527 and gen-3 Razor). The ZCO is marginally better in low light or high mirage situations. It is NOT, in my opinion, $1000+ better. That opinion has been shared by several others who have looked through the scopes side by side in high-mirage situations.

Also, Vortex warrants their scopes forever, period. ZCO? Not so much. ZCO has provisos in their warranty to allow them to deny coverage in quite a few circumstances, and reticle illumination is only covered for two years. My reticle light got flaky after three.

I actually sought to sell my ZCO after getting my third gen-3 Razor, but it has found a permanent home on my Vudoo .22, where it works better for me than the Razor.

“Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos

On this episode (25,) Brandon mentioned how the targets are back in the trees. The way the wind swirls means that the flags there don't tell you much. t's the 20 mph full value gusts across the open area that are probably going to get you.
Yeah I noticed the dust on the impacts in the berm wasn't moving away all that fast. Made sense when he said it was 300 yards through the trees at the end.
