Had a mission companion/trainer that had missionaries over to his house. Doorbell rang. It was Jehovahs Witnesses. He had the missionaries open the door. Silence for a moment. Missionaries spoke first. Jehovahs Witnesses left.

Elder Hellbush was an interesting companion. He once had an Elder Boatwright as a mission companion.

DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

RAVAGE88
There's enough interest in the Lot Test Fixture (LTF)) that I'll move it into production, but I also received questions/feedback about the overall length.

A number of you would like to see a bit more material forward of the recoil lug pocket to provide more surface for the vise to hold onto. So, the overall length is now 15" instead of 12". A Bushing Plate will be included with the LTF; it's used in place of a DBM for the Gen 3 Single Shot and while doing maintenance and/or cleaning. Those wanting to feed from a magazine can add the DBM. I don't have pricing just yet.

Additionally, all parts have moved into production, as well as the Receiver Wrench for two lug and three lug receivers. I'll announce when I'm ready to accept orders.

Thanks to those that reached out with questions/feedback.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

S
Problem with Russia is constant “patience” and “acceptance “ of various excuses (such as minks I II, sending arms, jobless nato soldiers and now the latest spin about “producing own taurus missiles” domestically). I’m sure they’ve wargamed countless scenarios and i guess they decided on the low and slow until pork is ready to be pulled and falls of the bone. I just hope they know what theyre doing because West does not and hubris filled elites and infantile population might cause a bit too dark and crispy 🐖.

AR-10 is chewing up my brass

FLIGHT762
The current FC GMM 308 brass with the blue primer sealant and nickel plated primer is harder brass than the 20+ Y/O GMM brass was. The brass that had the brass colored primer with no primer sealant was much softer brass.

I've been shooting this brass since the late 1970's. Been reloading it in a SR-25 since the mid 1990's and a GAP 10 since 2013.

Hammerli Force B1 - Finally a cheap, but nice, 22 PRS gun?

MarinePMI
Pretty sure it was a Power's Hammer and trigger. But, TBH, I've got about 6 or 7 10/22"s in various flavors and chambers, so I could be wrong. I just know for most of them I tended to use Power's stuff, as it was reasonably priced at the time.

I'm pretty sure Kidd already says "Not suitable for Hammerli Force B1" on their website now as well.

So it's essentially a poor man's version of the phenomenal 25-ounce March-FX 1.5-15X42 with dual focal plane reticle. A bit late to the party.

It is going to be a very different beast, with a different price and aimed at a different market to some degree. The core design is very competent.

Other posters have identified it but i'll chime in since I do a ton of precision gas gun work and PRS gas gun loading.

First, you have an old school oversized firing pin hole and firing pin. This isnt a problem in and of itself but it is going to mark most primers in loads above ~55-58k psi chamber pressure.

Second, you are using Hornady brass, which tends to be soft and easily flows into extractor grooves and get blasted into ejectors at higher pressures.

Third, you are running those rounds hot hot hot. the ring around the brass is from the case being driven into the bolt face HARD from pressure.

If you are going to do precision loading in a gas gun you really should be using tough brass like FC and utilize a high pressure bolt. Tuning with weights is generally required for the best results, you can buy tungsten and swap them into your buffer until you get the speed right. Most gassers really need a LOT of mass in a large frame to operate at tolerable speeds and to make brass last. You can also match this with a stiffer spring to slow down the cyclic rate, which will stop the extractor from yanking the rims.

Dont forget to size your brass with a RCBS small base die to bump those heads for smooth chambering and ejection. One thing that's common with gas guns is the head grows after a few firings and will no longer chamber freely and under unlocking will stick. Clickers in a bolt are bad, clicking at the case head in a gasser is a sure way to tear brass heads and rims off.

If you use a small base sizer die to bump heads, use tough brass, and tune your gun, there is no reason to not be able to get 10+ firings out of your brass. I shoot a JP LRI20 with FC brass and the brass still looks immaculate with the same set of 200 on its 15th+ firing. Alpha brass works too and has a tougher case head if you want to upgrade.

Everyone is always saying Federal is soft, I have a bunch and have been liking it although so far I have also been running my loads too hot.
