Tikka T1X - CCI-SV 10 Shot Groups

Yes. I used several cases of CCISV in my T1X. An average of 44 (10)shot groups at 100 yds was 1.77” Center to Center. At 200 the vertical stringing was brutal, 8”-9” over 10 shots. The “groups” would be 2” wide. I practiced on paper at 100. When my positional groups got small enough to be close to my bench groups, I upgraded ammo to SK S+ and SKRM. Until then, use CCISV to practice, unless you are only doing BR.

Credit card fraud in the industry

I own Misery Custom Rifles and I use my business credit card almost daily purchasing gun parts and what not. For years now my business card gets fraud charges and I have to go through the whole process of canceling, waiting on a new card to show up, then updating my card information for all my accounts. It happened again last night and now this is my 6th business card this year. My personal card as well as my wife's card don't ever have this problem. It makes me believe one of my vendors somehow has unsecure payment allowing my information to get out. I'm trying to narrow down where it can be coming from but I use too many vendors to even know where to begin. Has anyone had issues with any vendors in the firearms industry as far as their cards getting frauded? If you don't want to mention names publicly feel free to send me a PM. Thanks, Zack Tannen

Node at different barrel lenght

Hello, a friend myne had tested some Reload with a new powder.
This had find nodes at 38,7gn and 39,5gn.
My rifle and the rifle of this are identical apart for the barrel lenght, myne 28" and his 26".
Same bullets, same powder, same primers same case.
Have I some possibilities to find the nodes on my rifle near the friend nodes?

Thanks
Hi, thanks for the reply, but what you explained is still too elaborate for my skills. Can you help me?
To start with, two barrels of the same length, same material, same contour from the same company can still have chambers that are cut a little different even with the same reamer (reamers wear over time), which can produce different results. Even the bore can have a little different cut. Next, barrel lengths produces different velocities. . .the projectiles are in the bore for a different length of time with exactly the same cartridge load. Then there's "harmonics" where different barrel lengths vibrate differently, just like orchestral chimes. Different vibrations of the barrel means a different point of release when the projectile exits the muzzle.

You might use your friends load as a starting point for your load development. You might get lucky and find a "node" pretty close to what's works for him.

Tikka T1X - CCI-SV 10 Shot Groups

Yeah, I'd say that's about right with a good lot of CCI SV. That ammo is a good standard velocity plinking ammo, but far from being match ammo.

At 50 yards, the best bulk ammo I've found for my setup is Federal Auto Match.

These days, I'd say the best ammo you can get that isn't insanely priced is SK Standard Plus, even that runs $90 a brick. I've had some very good luck with SK Semi Auto, but that has been very lot dependent and the time and money spent lot testing eats up the savings.

Check out Whidden Gunworks. You can order a lot of the ammo they sell by lot number.

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

how about this fake bitch and her 'The Oscar winner ' tears

Jamie Lee Curtis sobs over murder of Charlie Kirk as she compares him to JESUS... despite having trans daughter


'Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he's a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever 'connection to God' means, that he felt it,' she said.

She is an evil woman who accepted the secret juice.

It seems as though there was a lot more that could have been done.

Usually, Monday morning quarterbacking doesn't accomplish much. But, when any garden variety 6 year old can "Out Monday Morning QB" someone's "security detail", there's a problem. And, it's not a small one.
Even if the local LEO resources and contractors that are licensed to use firearms sat this event out for whatever reason, a 1/2 doz integrated watchers with comms and binos could easily scan all the good spots every few seconds. It’s hunting out of a blind for fuck’s sake. Even knuckle dragging juice monkeys do this every night, looking for trouble in whatever shithole they work. Been there, done that, lost the T-shirt.

Maggie’s Advice Needed on Traveling Through Indian Reservations

Drive the speed limit. Use your blinkers. Just generally don’t be a douche nozzle while operating a vehicle. Nobody getting pulled over for firearms violations.

The “grey man” isn’t rolling coal in a jacked up dually, with a Molon Labe sticker in the window. He’s driving the speed limit in a 20 year old minivan with a stick-figure family on the back window.

I'm stumped...bolt won't close

Well the bullet sure looks like it's engaging the freebore/throat area of the chamber.

Don't use a caliper to measure the bullet diameter. To get good numbers use a quality mic and make sure it's calibrated and that the mic measures in .0001" increments as well.

Your doing the right thing in getting a hold of the barrel maker/gunsmith that set it up for you.

I know it's a pain in shipping... but I would ask them that when you send the barrel in to send in the whole barreled action so they can check everything out.

I've run Hornady black ammo in other calibers (not in 6CM) and never had an issue with bullets hitting like that. Also as a fyi we make pretty much all of Hornady's ammunition test barrels. They haven't called with any issues with chambers etc... on the test barrels that we do for them.

I'd also reach out to Hornady and see if they would want a box of ammo back for them to look over. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call.

Keep us posted on how what you find out etc...

Later, Frank

Dear low resolution bible readers on the Hide:

The bible is a collections of metaphors. It has to be metaphorical to get the point across without loosing the meaning in the trivia of life. Humanity would have run out of paper if we --guided by the word and will of God-- had tried to factually record everything that was said and done during the periods covered in both testaments. It also would have become a very boring read up to the point were the ran out of paper.

Even detailed descriptions of specific places and names are used to convey the essence of the meaning of what went down. EVERYTHING was condensed, needed to be condensed and should have been condensed into more complex structures of meaning.

What's the point? Do not try to find the antichrist by looking for a single person. It appears as a "solution" (a deal with the devil) in the thoughts, words, and actions of many.

I appreciate your attention to this matter.
I think the hyper defensive controlling Jewish lobby is miss identified like this too. They are bought off through their own evil desires, while receiving the negative attention, being used by the evil one, who stays unidentified and “unsullied” in public opinion in the background. It seems like pedo stuff and other deviant sexual behaviour is the currency most commonly used. Basically the same as NGOs that are a public front for much more nefarious orgs that fund them. I think satanists really enjoy buying off and setting up the Jews this way. The old saying goes “like taking candy from a baby”.
