I keep all my stuff sorted by lot and this would not play well with me lol.

That's a unsorted headstamp group BTW.

I have said this in another thread, but they do have quite a lot of variance in case weight. I haven't measured all the headstamps for water capacity yet. This week I will.

I shoot with another member here and we both are working up loads with the Hybrid cases. I'm shooting at AXMC with a large firing pin and he is shooing his in a AI with a small firing pin. Small firing pin seems to take more pressure and not pierce primers. I would run into pressures sooner probably around 75K PSI if my calculations are correct on Gordons and QL.

Seems like a shit sandwich to me, while getting modest gains staying inside the safety window of actions that are going to be shot lots. I opened the box thinking of a short barreled hunting rifle. Closed it up and it sits on my desk. If I want more speed I will just get a bigger case instead of a stronger one.

I was having similar problems last winter.

This set up started out as a V2 AutoTrickler, as evidenced by the Stop/Start labels that I put on the scale cover back in 2019. This was before the V3 Bluetooth upgrade that came later.

Anyhow, to make a long story even longer, last fall my scale started acting weird once in awhile, usually in the middle of a long session that involved more than fifty charges being thrown.

It would begin to refuse to go back to zero between throws occasionally. Not plus or minus .02, but sometimes as much as .04 or .06 off of zero.

I’d stop the target weight, make sure there wasn’t powder where it shouldn’t be, fiddle around with the cup, re zero the scale and calibrate it.

Things would return to normal until the next hiccup. Eventually it began to happen more frequently.

I emailed Adam and went back and forth with him and Laura and we decided my power transformer was going bad, as evidenced by the craziness mid session and subsequent return to normal after screwing around with it for 10 minutes or so, allowing the transformer to cool off.

While I waited for the new transformer to get here from Canada, Laura suggested I try the transformer that originally came with the scale and it worked.

They also said they’d recently changed vendors for the transformers.

The original AFX transformer worked well enough until I got my official new vendor transformer from Canada.

You might want to try a transformer.
You’ll get it faster from C&E.

Interesting. I've had my v4 for getting close to a year. I have to put my cup on perfect every time. If the handle doesn't face the exact way it's off by about 2-10grs

Why is the 2A community filled with so many ignorant bandwagoning retards?

Back in 2023 Silencer Central was open about supporting said bill H.R. 6352. Their blog post about it is still available and up and explains the bill and what it does.

“WHAT IS THE TAX STAMP REVENUE TRANSFER BILL?The Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act is a significant milestone for wildlife, hunters, and shooting enthusiasts. Supported by Silencer Central, America’s largest silencer dealer, along with 12 other companies & organizations the bill proposes redirecting 15% of tax stamp revenue to expedite the processing of suppressor applications, addressing the current lengthy waiting periods. The remaining 85% would fund the Pittman Robertson Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, supporting wildlife conservation, law enforcement, hunter recruitment, and the development of recreational shooting ranges. For more details, check out the bill here.”

But hey, it's not like Guns & Gadgets has a long history of posting complete bullshit to increase views or anything. Oh, wait....

Well, when Samsung drops the Samsung Galaxy suppressor that you can Bluetooth connect to your phone and your ear buds, with a built in chronograph, barometer, thermometer and wind meter, we will all line up to give them $2,500 for it.

Bring on the future.

Although you made me laugh, I do take the button part very seriously. There's definitely a button in my new magazine(s).

Ok, don't deport them..

Round them up and take them home. No deportation process whatsoever. Fly them to Mexico city and dump them out.

Are suppressor purchasers being raped by the manufacturers and vendors? Yes. Not very much different than the machine gun market, just in a less extreme scale. A $30,000 transferable M16 today, is a $600 gun if the NFA gets Thanosed.

(Good news, recent settlement may have just done it, sorta, with FRTs back on market)

I’d love to see foreign competition push US suppressor manufacturers not to accept the status quo. Would this bring prices down? Yeah, some. But, in an analogous market, Tasco scopes aren’t putting much pressure on US Optics. I don’t think the hypothesized sub-$100 Amazon Specials are going to force TBAC to match price.

6000 psi gas vents? I just found a calculator for muzzle pressure. A 62 grain 5.56 bullet fired from a 20” barrel at 3000 fps would have a muzzle pressure of ~18,000 psi. Do these vents silencers need to allow a bullet to escape unimpeded, while also bringing the sound levels down to (near) hearing safe? What is the temp of these venting gases? Are there negative consequences if these gas vent silencers experience thermal events that alter the vent path? And, are these vent silencers expected to be non-replaceable parts?

Back to race mufflers, how much pressure do they experience? Like 10 psi?

What is a fully Semi-automatic rate and how fast is that?

“Fully semi-automatic” is a humorous euphemism for fully automatic fire (taken from some legislator that didn’t know anything about firearms, but was quite enthusiastic in speaking out of their ass.). Rates are generally somewhere around 4-500 rounds per minute on the slow end up to maybe 1100 rounds per minute on the really ludicrous end, for individual weapons.

The polio epidemic may seem like a lie until you are paralyzed. We have the luxury in living in a country it was basically eradicated from long ago, and the people who died from it or lived with profound life-long disabilities have passed away. You do realize that polio is still active in many other countries around the world, and that people are still being paralyzed from it?

Skepticism of the medical system and vaccines is not unreasonable. If you wait until people are dying in the streets en masse from blood streaming out of every orifice to consider a vaccine though, you are probably a bit behind the eight ball.

Polio is asymptomatic for life in something like 99% of people. I think you might be walking around with 50 year old information in your head. It was not what they told you.

Um, they have a bullet traveling up to, or exceeding, 3000 feet per second, fired at potentially fully semi-automatic rates, generating heat that can- literally- make them glow red, from an aperture only a few thou over nominal bore diameter. And, because of the NFA making them a lifetime investment, they are built for a lifetime of service.

While I do believe the street prices of suppressors are inflated by market influences created by the NFA, the statement above is willfully obtuse.

I wonder how much a tig welded race muffler would cost if it were expected to spit bullets at hearing safe sound levels without material failure, with a lifetime repair-replace guarantee if it were to fail structurally…

Most of mine so far have been 24 head stamps, Sig no year is a close second. Fury and 23 is mixed in there too.

Been playing around with the Hybrid brass for a better part of a couple of months. Mixed results so far. I could get the 6.5CM to shoot with very minimal load development. 308 have not shot well. Have tried TAC, Varget and N540 with some 175 SMK and 178ELDMs. I can get the ES and SD down but at best a 1 MOA group. I check it's not the gun with brass case loads. So far I have only been using what I have and just upping the charge some more.

Do me a favor sir, research that polio vaccine again without looking at a .gov source. The polio vaccine saving the world is a myth. There was a wave of misdiagnosis that led to the "epidemic" of polio. It was blamed for everything, kinda like covid deaths. The vaccine came out something like 2 years after polio had already come and gone, and at the time it was released, polio wasn't a problem anymore. They lied, (hard to believe, I know) in our text books about how Jonus Saulk saved the world. It didn't happen..

Who knows anything about the dates when the primer compound was changed to a water activated formula?

I've discussed the great slurry scandal with a number of BR guys, but I don't remember the time period. The change certainly seems to have negatively impacted (pardon the pun) what is seen on the target.

Thanks.

Also, I'm not an atheist.

You misrepresent my usage of “correct” as it was not a blanket statement about your claims on truth. I was only saying correct to a specific part of what you were claiming, mainly 100% verifiability. Truth is definitely something that can be known and understood, because truth claims can be measured against how well they represent reality. Truth does not mean 100% verifiability, and no one lives their life in that was. Truth does not mean 100% certainty. See the Correspondence Theory of Truth

With that regarding the big questions of the universe, even agnosticism requires faith despite what they claim.

Finally, I will say this. Though none of the positions you mentioned above are 100% verifiable, there are some positions that comport better with the available evidence and reality than others. Also some are more internally consistent than others. With that, if you are a theist of some type, look into the evidences of the resurrection. The Case for Christ is a good start. If you are agnostic, do not use it as way to justify your moral choices as I once did, effectively trying to make myself my own God.

Couple things:

1. How brainwashed are we as a society to actually think that a lower rate of monetary debasement is a good thing? How about zero. Lower inflation is still inflation. People are either stupid, uneducated or both.

2. In a fiat system be very careful about desiring lower prices at a macro level. It’s an indicator that the customer has run out of money or has no desire for further purchases at the current price point. Recession follows.

If you see the comflict between those two points, good. That’s the spot we are in economically.

So you confirm what Tubb told me?

From what I'm finding, the man, Army officer, shooter and the rifle are an incredible part of history and to be highly admired. Wow. I've not found anything about the 6mm part, but I certainly have reason to believe it. These are the qualities we should all use as examples and to aspire to.

@Hoser , thanks for sharing the info. Very humbling indeed.

Bombs Away LeMay was a pilot...

An Epic one… somewhere I have the story of him getting PNG’d out of Greenland along with the President of Smith and Wesson…. It’s pretty funny.

He was also a very cerebral general and cared deeply about the wellbeing of his airmen and families. Only general in WW2 who ordered his eggheads to measure success in “crew losses per unit of target destruction.”

Also created the Rand Corporation and Mitre.

Anything but the Visigoth the lefty reporters later portrayed him as!
