Sorry, I over looked it included shipping.

Some golden info on YT. Some absolute garbage on YT.

It is the internet. Lots of eggspurts on the internet. Lots of attention whores on the internet.
I have started to make my own youtube channel a couple times now. I have decided it would be a horrible idea. Mostly because no matter what you post, one group of people will love it, one group will seek to doxx and destroy you.
Some of my favorite, most informative, truth based channels, have scads of people who seek to destroy and deplatform them.
The whole thing is about 50% cunt farm.

Do you track throat erosion?
With RL50, I was only getting 0.003" every 100 rounds. But with the factory Berger 230, which I assume is H1000, I was getting 0.008" which was the first rounds fired then the 300-400, it was 0.006". I'm at 600 rounds now and the last 200 with RL50 I've only had 0.001" totaling 0.023" total erosion since the new barrel.

I know N570 is a barrel burner, but just curious to how it compares to other powders.


I don't think there is any benefit aside from reduced brass growth. With my 300 NM (Lapua brass) I have to trim about 0.004" after every firing (annealed each firing). I don't remember how much I trim above min SAAMI length (+0.002 to 0.005), but it's just to be consistent between each firing.

I don't but when I clean, I run a bore scope down the barrel to check how clean it is. I don't chase the lands. But 700+ rounds in, you can see quiet a bit of cracking. I would be happy if it last 1200 rounds. I'm sure if went with a different powder I could extend the barrel life, what a couple hundred rounds? I realize performance comes at a cost. And I am not going to shoot a NM at PRC speeds..... There is a reason why you go Norma.

Yesterday's sandwich loaf came out very nice.



Small loaf cast iron Lodge pan 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch

300g flour (Ap 2/3 - 1/3 and
Bread)
200g water
100g starter
10g olive oil
5g salt




I changed up my prep routine.

Lightly oil mixing bowl and add flour, active starter, water.
mix and let rest an hour.

Salt comes next in two dumps with stretch and folds grinding salt against mixing bowl. That helps clean down sides and bottom of bowl.

Next comes the messy part but it all still takes place in and over the bowl.

Poke fingers in dough and add the oil. You can swish and flip it around with the bowl scraper some but time to use your hands.
No oil water or flour needed just get in there and do streach and folds.

Rest for 15 minutes and go again.
I went 4 times.

The bowl was now "clean" and dough covered loosely with plastic wrap bowl cover on and into the fridge to cold proof overnight 12 - 14 hrs (lazy I let it go for 14).


That picture is not staged, it is how it comes out using the bowl scraper, salt and oil last. I could have started another loaf when I turned it out for final streach and shape.

Into the pan, final proof in oven with light on (85 degrees).

Slash, tent and seal with aluminum foil, place in cold oven and start at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and cook additional 30 minutes.

My rating for this one.
Crust was medium thickness, crispy chewy. 90 (no blisters or decoration).

Crumb, soft chewy texture mediumish crum . 100 if scored for a sandwich loaf. (Jam won't fall through).

Taste lightly sour great for general sandwiches. 95 (not the kind for a charcuterie board presentation).

I'm getting out the stone and chisel for this one and it's going in the book.

Oh Pam! How I love thee!

Looks like 6.5-284 Norma ?

I shoot a Tikka T3X chambered in .284 Winchester and that cast looked really familiar...

Salt of da earff.....yaw....

Anyone have a pet load using Peterson brass, and 184 Berger F-open?

@theLBC are you running clickbait sites in your spare time?

Africa was much better back when there were ashtrays readily available..

And what’s going on here?



It almost looks like the action is cast and loaded with porosity? Or has it been peened?

Post some more pictures of the rifle if you get a moment, OP. Definitely interested in seeing the whole package so to speak.

PS. Looks like you have it out of the chassis or stock already, so my question about looking for a stamp underneath is probably moot!

I’m with Mike Castleton on this.

The chatter marks at the back of that barrel are appalling. And the fact that it’s not marked is another ding against whoever chambered and installed it. You never install a barrel without marking it.

That said, have you taken the action out of the stock to see if there is a marking underneath? If the Gunsmith didn’t have a really good set of stamps or engraver they might have marked it underneath in a discreet area.

But until you really get a set of chamber measure measurements and honestly look more closely at that barrel, I would be really cautious, assuming nothing before shooting it.

The good news is once you figure out a caliber you may well be able to just have the barrel cut back a bit and re-chambered with something new. You can always take a little bit off the chamber end.

Cheers and let us know how it turns out.

Looks like most of the advice is leaning one of the Geissele or the Triggertech Diamond. Biggest difference I see is that the Geissele's have a heavier 1st stage with lighter second, and the Triggertech is the other way.

I'm not quite ready to buy yet. Doing my research like I do with most things (I have become like my dad). Currently in middle of saving for a RRS tripod.

If it saves one life…

I would go at least 200, depending on mirage, etc, 300 starts to get tricky, maybe hit it early in the day. Do one each low to high, then reverse, finishing with low to high. Try to give a minute in between shots on each run and 5 between each run.

When the page opened, a box popped up that allowed you to sign up for emails from the ATF. I've gone back 5 times entering the email addresses of people who pissed me off in the last couple of years.

Best served cold bitches..

I think the concern with thin reticles at low magnification is over blown, especially with illumination available at very low price points. I was recently using a Gen 3 Razor at 6X without the reticle illumination turned on. Surprisingly no issue seeing the reticle on target as I changed positions on the clock.

What were the conditions of your 6x shooting sans illumination?

Within 10 years it will be illegal to drive your own car. Every vehicle will be self driving.

Come back in 10 years and see if I'm wrong.
