Berger 153.5’s

I had a 26” Bartlien 8 twist medium palma barrel that was chambered by a 2112 @ PWS. I have no idea what reamer he used.

I found a node @2710 with 153.5 and with H4350 and Lapua cases that shot like a house on fire out to 1K on Quantico’s Range 4.

I hit the milk jug (challenge @ 1K) with five consecutive shots one morning.

I sold that rifle to a guy who also shoots there along with the load data a couple of years ago to fund an Accuracy International AT rifle.

Here’s the kicker: the same load in the AI 6.5 26” barrel shot so poorly I was convinced I got a stinker barrel.

I had SPR spin up a 29” 8 twist Bartlien heavy Palma AI prefit for the AT and it was still 40 FPS slower than the original PWS build.

Could I take the time to find a new node for the new barrel? Probably, but there are other projects and other barrels for the AT.

I’ve got 700 153.5s and I’m not willing to call it quits yet.

Suppressors Best way to clean heavily fouled TBAC can ?

I dont know why some people are saying, that CLR will kill your barrel, if you clean it with it.
I would say that is BS, i have cleaned with it a long time, and doing a test, that put a stainless and black steel screws
in to a cup, that is filled with CLR.
I have not found any corrode of those screws.
And i would say, that CLR is maybe the best, like BEST carbon killer there is, like in any products you can find from
gun industy, the CLR is better than any of those.
I did find the CLR from YT and Cortina page, hi has used CLR a years, but at your own risk, since it is not a gun cleaning
stuff, even it does work in this too, but not made for it.
I use denatured alcohol patch after the barrel cleaning, just in case.
So i say CLR for anything that you have a carbon residue.
A Finnish suppressor manufacturer Ase Utra had calculated the amount of carbon residue the suppressor get´s it inside.
And they had amount, that every one 100 rounds that has been shot a caliber like 308win, it is a 1 gram in every 100 shot´s.
1 g, =15.432 gr.

What can I do with an old AW barrel?

Not even close IMO.
Never owned a belted magnum- but seems like a bad idea to me to fireform the brass in a completely different rifle.
While the belt to shoulder datum dimension would be consistent from the same reamer, the belt to boltface dimension is most certainly going to vary. If you've got five thou clearance to the boltface in the "fireforming" rifle/barrel, and one thou in the new one you aren't going to be able to chamber that ammo. Brass stretches both ways...

I'd fireform to blow out the shoulders in the rifle you'll be shooting with a reduced load.


Yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking. Although this is just a .300winmag sized bolt face, it's a non-belted wildcat. The brass I have is factory made, but it's super small for my chamber and the first firing is more or less a throw away.

Maybe I'd be better off firing all the brass I have through the current barrel, then changing it.

Plane crash At Reagan National

I didn’t know jack shit at 450 hours and when I flew with newbies that had 450 hours, no matter how “sharp” they were, they didn’t know jack shit either.
When I fly with someone that has 450 hours in type (the specific plane I fly), I'm on pretty high alert. I don't consider them new, but low-experience. Keep in mind that to even get to that stage at my job, that person would have at least 1500 total hours, and would likely have been a Captain at a different airline.

Reeeee!!! from DOD trannies imminent

Riggers were some of the most disgruntled folks in Division. I had always thought that one of them was going to be the next SGT French, until SGT Kreutzer came along…
I forgot about that wizard... A couple of (unarmed) 5th group guys took him down. Ballsy! He was batshit crazy, apparently.

That's very sad while his own government is arresting people for spreading "disinformation". He may as well paint a Hakenkreuz on that that tank. What an old, useless POS.
