What did you do in the reloading room today?

I did the same. I have 200 of each 24 head stamped brass for 308 and 6.5 Hybrid cases.

I would say this though, if you have a AMP annealer, they all are close to the same Aztec code. Mid 130 to mid 140s. Good thing with the boxes of brass from American Reloading is that they do not come with 100. So I can sacrifice a few cases in experiments and not feel guilty destroying them.

What did you do in the reloading room today?

Have you tried measuring water capacity on multiple cases? I did 1 but later realized there are 4 headstamps in the hybrid cases 23, 24, Fury and No Year. Me and a friend have had good luck so far with converted hybrid cases into 6.5CM, but I have been having some problems getting the converted 308s to shoot with the higher pressure loads. Doing all my checks everything seemed fine. I got bored and started to measure the weight of the cases, usually a very useless exercise. But these will very a lot, easily 12-15 grains different. For reference, I got some Lapua cases and they all measured within 1-1.5 of a grain. Usually the 24 headstamps will weigh more and the No Year brass is usually the lightest. Haven't had the chance to measure the water capacity between the head stamps yet.
After going through the box of cases that I processed , I did find there to be the 4 different headstamps. That vast majority had the 24 and just 6 that had "277 Fury" stamped on them. Those without the "23" or "24" are much lighter at < 149 grs (those stamped with Fury also weighed in that range). The 23's tended to weigh right in between those and those stamped with 24, though 4 of the 23's were at the same weight as the 24's, the 24's all being the heavier.

Since I've got 4 more boxes that I haven't touched, I guess I'll just have to go through them and sort these different ones out. 😵‍💫

PS: That case that I heard a funny sound and didn't feel right when I pulled it out of the sizing die (apparently staring to pull the steel head from the brass body), is one of those that is very light compared to the others with the 24 stamped on them. It makes me think I need to be more cautious when sizing the lighter cases, which apparently have thinner case walls??? The thinner brass having more of a tendency to not hold on to the steel head as well as the other more thicker cases???

DNT The One In 30mm Soon?

As of SHOT Show they are releasing a line of 2-12x42's in both Illuminated and Non-Illuminated, in both SFP and FFP as well as a line of 3-18x42's, same configurations. They'll have a FFP 5-25x56, similar to what you've already seen from Arken. They're also bringing a 34mm tube 1-8x24 out. Unfortunately, with what's happening at this time with tariffs, any delivery date has been pushed back

I resemble that remark! Throw a ball left handed,write left,swing a bat right,shoot right. I'm not always in my right mind!
Dude, I'm all sorts of messed up. Write left, bat left, throw a baseball right but a football left. When I tried golf, I drove right but putted left. Handgun, rifle, and shotgun have been right from a young age.

So whats this big story James O'keefe went into hiding about?

That was quite a little propaganda piece.

- Why is UC vid gitchy but the audio synched and clear as a bell?
- How does Jimmy know they were complete strangers?
- Why do the 'stranger' and Pamela sound like they are shitty actors reading lines?


Interesting (likely meaningless) factoid - After steering the Epstein in FL and ZimZam matters, Bondi went to work as a Lobbyist representing Qatar (who has their finger in a lot things here in the USA and who was key in the propaganda / manipulation / runup to the First Gulf War) on the subject of Human Trafficking.

Second (likely meaningless) factoid - Donny is going into business with Qatar, he is to build a $Tump golf course at a new beachside resort.


ETA: Tapes......think these remain? IF such tapes ever existed - they aren't all of Epstein.....they are powerful people - someone or something's real leverage. Which begs the questions: Under what circumstances would such tapes really exist today, and what organization would actually have them, esp if we consider the implications to natsec? Do I think these are in an FBI vault? Not a chance. Do I think a blonde in tight skirt with a questionable professional record keeps people tuned in to the saga of Epstein with no focus on what was behind Epstein? - Yep.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

increased lethality after combat experience is a universal fact in mil history. the German army was way more lethal in 1943 than in 1938,the Russian army was much more lethal in 1945 than in 1941,we were way,way more lethal in 1945 that in 1941. same applies to us in Korea,Sparta in ancient Greece,union army in 1865. doesn't always = winning and is much affected by economic power.

Stock Market

Latest report;
XRP went down for a week or so but it went up from the $1.96 when I bought it to a high of $2.24 this morning. It's been a very robust Crypto during this recent fall in the stock market.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was up to $2.35 in a week.

Most of those Crypto's I bought at the recent crash went up, but faltered, and I sold them at a decent enough profit. I made around 20% off a relatively small investment of $8000. Then took all those funds and layered into XRP when it was lower at times so I have quite a bit now, as well as a fair amount of Bitcoin/BTC. XRP hit $2.42 today and BTC went to $104,000-ish so I've been pulling in some embarrassingly high profits(for me that is).

Wouldn't be surprised if XRP went to high 2.50's in the next few weeks. If XRP acquires Circle it could break the $3.40 record and then it'll likely go parabolic possibly 3x=ing what I have now before years end.
If not I'll have my stop loss set in case of bad news, let XRP settle, then buy in again. Why?? because Ripple/XRP is 1000 times faster and 1000 times cheaper than SWIFT is at digital funds transfer and more and more institutions are adopting it day by day.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Has the Bloom Come Off Early Pythons

True, but they're not "unturned", NIB. It's not THAT big a difference in price, but why if I have the same thing that is worn and has a ton of bluing off from years in a cop's holster but shoots the same.

If I only had a single Python I'd shoot it for sure. But when you have several it makes no sense.
All the old Winchesters I have don't get shot, just because I'm not that interested.

Yep. I have an unturned Colt SAA, and one that I know has been turned at least once (couldn't help myself). Both are ca 2007, but one is a "Z" suffix model out of the custom shop.

I'd bet the unturned one would fetch a good 10% more, even though it is a production line revolver.

I need to get off my butt and shoot the other one.

Mark 4hd tracking issue

This ^^.

IMO, the OP's way of doing a "tracking test"...well, isn't.
This is where I disagree with most people I guess. In a situation where a rifle shoots sub half inch groups like this one does there’s no need to do anything else. I could perform a tracking analysis and see exactly how much error is in the tracking but that’s honestly a waste of time. No tracking analysis is perfect because you will always introduce error. If you mount it to the table then there’s parallax errors unless you’re using a tacticam and even then there’s the chance. Your platform is the most stable when you’re shooting so if you’re at 100yrds and you shoot a group then adjust your scope 5mil shoot another group and the groups aren’t 18” apart then your tracking is off. It’s a very simple pass or fail situation that doesn’t need analysis or chronographs or bc, either it moves the impact to where it should or it fails. I was initially just curious if others had tracking issues before this post took off into left field but 🤷‍♂️
