Yeah. Set it and forget it.

You can get there with flame - and much easier than 20 years ago, since how to do it right is more obvious today - and there are certain advantages of having an automated hopper (not that Rube Goldberg contraption the "AMP-maiden" or whatever they call it - don't bother with that gizmo). That's why I keep the giraud, for my 223 and 308 cases that I do in bulk and don't really care about "perfect"

I kept the Giraud since I had it first, and it was going to be a PITA to sell/ship, not worth the $$$. But if I started with the AMP, I don't know if I'd get teh Giraud or go with the Ugly or the Annealeze for ~$300

But I'll tell you what, if you're staring at a pile of 500+ 223 cases, that you have to do one at a time with the AMP, you better have a bottle of something there to help get you through the session

No pressure signs with that combo? What brass were you using?

Click to expand...

no, it was a mid length not carbine gas system. Ive run around 28.5 gr through may rifles and have found if my rifle likes factory hornady match this combo will work as well

Most of what I shoot has 10 round stages, so I would like those available. Would a 5 round be shorter, or use the same body. a 5 round would be nice to have.

Yup, that's real right on the width. Thanks for sharing!

It’s tight, BUT it has plenty of room. It was hard to get centered photos with the phone. I wouldn’t go any bigger.

I have to do some yardwork so just in case I will preemptively throw out a "Democrat Whore" till I get back.

I'm sure it won't go to waste for long.

I change cleaning techniques as the barrel wears in. My 6 BR crossed over 1200 rounds at the last match. I noticed a dry patch was starting to drag more than it used to in the first 4-5 inches forward of the chamber after my usual C4 and brush routine. Under a bore scope I could see I had layering building, so I thoro-cleaned that area a little to smooth it out and the bore scope shows it is just about all gone but for the corners of the grooves. Velocity had built from 2720 to 2745 in those 1200 rounds and after this cleaning I am down around 2710. I'll be going to the range today to verify drops w/ adjusted data using the new velocity. The second objective will be to see if the velocity builds back up quickly or if it will be a slow climb.

So to answer your questions,
Do most of you feel like getting all the loose shit out of the bore is cleaning?
>For the most part, yes.

Do you think you need to strip it down to steel to be clean?
>Not unless "clean enough" isn't working.

What have you experienced performance wise doing different methods?
>I found that sometimes it's not the cleaning method but the powder that makes things screwy but for solely "changes due to cleaning" my experience has been a slight loss in velocity, usually around 10-15% from what it was before cleaning. Then as the barrel is fired it will slowly speed back up as it becomes more fouled.

If your groups go to shit, I feel that it's likely one of two things occurred.
1: The powder is slow for the caliber/bullet combo and the clean barrel is not currently building the pressure to give you the performance your used to yet.
2: Barrel may be near end of life and cleaning removed more than just fouling

After a rather disappointing back and forth with Kestrel support, the current Link for Windows app can't tell between certain new and old hardware revisions. They wouldn't provide the correct firmware via email even when I gave them all of the identifiers from unit.
Their current stance is use android or iOS.

Unfortunately, I cannot use iOS becuase I have a non-link unit, so it does not have Bluetooth. I am on version 1.49, which is perfectly fine, but I would like to have the new update that has the 5 yard increments on the range card.

I switched over to the JP SCS over 15 years ago and haven't looked back. It works great in everything

PRSDietitian said:

so, similar velocities but no early pressure signs?

Some of the rounds where the velocity swings high(typically 40-50fps above the average)will show some slight ejector marks but not anything that really concerns me.

Up for sale is a lightly used Colt M2012 in 308. Probably has 500 rounds through it, mostly of norma or federal match ammo. This is the model that has a spiral fluted barrel. The original muzzle brake has been replaced with one made by my local gunsmith, he also coated the rifle as well. I added a area419 rail and adjustable cheek rest to it. Will not come with a mag unless I can find the original 5 round mag. Could add a lightly used 10 round mag for an additional fee. Asking 1700 shipped and insured to your ffl. I would rather they accept from a private individual, if not please add $25 for the transfer fee from my ffl.

Payment via PP, Venmo, or USPS MO

33 pages before my appearance and the previous thread with lies were completely satisfactory to you?
Isn't there a corpse lying on the central square there?
Aren't there rituals held there with the presence of officials?
Doesn't the team from Olgino work here?
Who are the people who pretend to be native americans but choose specifically russian words (very unusual words for the average American) for their nicknames and who are unable to logically explain it?
Are you simply ashamed of the Moscow faggot brothers?

Native Americans? I do not think that phrase means what you think it means.

A update for you, sorry for the delay folks! Thank you for the patience. For those that don’t do social media.

Connor,
I bought my first Sako TRG 22 from you guys about 15 years ago, it's an absolute hammer.

Euro Optic used to sell Factory Sako TRG ammunition in 6.5 CM, specifically with 136 grain Lapua Scenar bullets. I haven't seen you guys or anyone else carry that specific ammo in a long time, but I have seen it on recent YouTube videos. Any chance you guys are going to start carrying that again? I hate to ask you to look into it, but that was the only ammo I ever bought that made me consider not reloading for 6.5 Creedmoor.

Ehh. It’s France. Rioting is their national pass time. It’s been that way since the 1700s, at least.
