Starting to lean towards this. I like the 10mm round, and the ported barrel would help with the muzzle flip issue.

I don’t know if a 10mm with ported barrel would be my first choice for possible use in lowlight conditions or indoors, but then again I’m not living on the wild side much these days.

With your class of equipment and apperant abilities I think the H-335 will get you below 3\8.

I may not able to get under that no matter what I had to shoot but I'm comfortable with it.

Are you using any crimp?

I polish expanders to -0.004 and then use the 0.002 mandrel.
My crimp is "slight" 1\8th of available full crimp.
You can dent a wood loading bench trying to get the bullets to move.

Other than the expander "mod" dies are standard Lee and the Sinclair mandrel. I don't measure neck od or id anymore on any caliber it's always 0.002 neck tension and I don't run any neck turn barrels.

I get sub moa with very modest equipment, 223, 308, 6.5g even with 300 blk subs since I started that routine. (That 300 blk was a big surprise when I got it to 0.90 consistently)

I run nu finish wax in my dry tumble and it has enough lubricity that I don't lube further, no cold weld with 2 year old ammo noted.

A good shooter with better than my barely mid grade equipment should have no problems dropping group sizes running the necks like that . Some of mine dropped 20% and let me identify other concerns.

They get so big in like 2 days, it is hard to catch em before they're too ginormous. I give em to the chickens when they get bigger than I like.

How is the leg bro?

Updated recently in the not gonna buff out thread. 3 more weeks non weight bearing then physical therapy can start. In an aircast boot now.

The easy button option would be a chassis. Since they are solid single shot recievers ....putting them in traditional BDL style 700 SA stocks would require you use a bottom metal or a hinged floorplate with the spring and follower removed. Or having a custom stock fitted or made.

Not sure what you plan to do refurbishing wise or intended usage.

H 335 will seal the deal with the light bullets 53 -55g

Meters fine I run it in a dillon progressive.
Speer 53g flat base and 55g both under 1\2 moa. (3\8) Best repeatable. @ about 1g under max posted for the 20 inch 1 in 8 twist
gasser with a tuner.

It's also readily available.

Heavy for caliber bullets don't do as well with it, too fast I think for them.

And for the love of god, don’t leave anything that looks like it may be valuable, contains something valuable, cheap, contain something cheap, coins, phone charger cords, pocket lint, or anything else in your unattended car. If you are in SA long enough, it will get broken in to. How long is long enough? Over night. Less if you are staying at a hotel. Seriously, clean out the car entirely. Leave the console, ash tray, and glove box open.

I've had similar bolt lift problems on rifles with the XC but the same problems happen with other cans too, sico Scythe ti for one. Seemed especially prevalent in MN winter months shooting into a headwind.

Happened with a variety of different loads including moderate factory ammo.

Kind of makes you wonder if it's some sort of condensate running back into the barrel when the rifle is tipped up.

I haven't seen this with my steel and TI nomads on 17" .280 ai, 18" .300 WSM, 19" 7mm PRC. If it were a short barrel thing I'd expect to have seen it with one of those. I am usually shooting in fairly warm weather these days though.

What I have seen is carbon chunks falling out of the can, down the bore into the chamber and onto the bolt head when setting the rifle muzzle up in a rack between strings sometimes. Resulted in what seemed like higher pressure and some rounds and heavier bolt lift. Tapping the cans on the table would cause little carbon chunks to fall out, cleaning the cans, using chamber flags and checking for any chunks before starting the next string helps. I have seen this more with my Nomads than some other cans, but also shoot them far more than most of my other rifle cans.

I’m hoping! I also cut the powder tube in half. It was way too long.

I cut mine by more than half and started using an old ATv3 tube with the valve as well. You really do get used to emptying the powder after a while.

So you are saying I could get lucky and the guy might just leave it with no signature. We shall see; I’ll report back if he does.

Honestly, based on my experience, I would be surprised if the box wasn’t yeeted from the truck as he careened down the street.

I can’t count how many packages I’ve had shipped “signature required.” I only remember signing for one. It was a few bottles of wine, and recently. I was legitimately surprised when the guy put the signature pad in my hand.

With China cutting off export of rare earth minerals/magnets to the USA, I did some research on domestic mines/processing/manufacturing. I bought MP which had the best situation with processing and manufacturing capabilities. That paid off recently. The other company that is going to take off is REEMF. It is an over the counter stock right now. They are going to have the processing plant upgraded in august and will be will be producing critical rare earth materials for the aerospace industry. Once this hits the mainstream news, this stock should go up dramatically from its current 1.05$ share

So you’re not willing to roll the dice and have it delivered with no signature, but they suck because they take preventative measures to reduce fraud and theft?

Got it.

Nope, not even close.

I wouldn’t have a problem with no signature except for the fact apparently UPS can lose it and it’s my loss. Typically, with an insured package, that’s not the case. So, yeah, I do have a problem with that.

Also, Euro doesn’t suck, them using UPS sucks because there’s now no flexibility in receiving a package once it goes out with a signature required for reasons already stated. I understand them wanting to prevent theft, and knew it required a signature, but as already stated above

, I had no idea I could no longer have it routed to a local pick up point. That information would have been nice to know.

The short story is, if you order a scope from Euro and you actually have a job and your wife also has a job and there’s no one at home during the day, be forewarned, there’s no way to get your package and it will be sent back. This effectively takes Euro off the places to buy list for me and others in this situation. Your only option is to go with no signature and hope that UPS doesn’t lose you package; if they do, it’s your loss, not UPS’s. According to Maggot, the only other possible option is to pay to rent a box at a UPS store and they can sign for it.

Got it now?

Actually I was forced to use an Eotech on my patrol carbine. I think for that reason (and the hate they were getting at the time) I switched to red dots. It was an EXPS2 anyway so it wouldn’t work with night vision.

I greatly appreciate you bringing this up. After several hours of research the consensus is pretty clear. The MRO is garbage for night vision. Looks like I’ll be getting the EXPS3 and a Unity riser in FDE. I’ll wait on the magnifier and unity tactical mount in FDE. That’s another $750. I need to get some use out of this Geissele mount lol. The PVS31 binos are like 13k and the D2 is a little over $1200. I blew 4k last week between a scope and 2 suppressors so I need to settle.

It also looks like people are saying to stay away from remote switches with the D2 and instead use the rear mount button. So I now know I need to mount the light on the right side and I’ll use a a Unity Axon for that. Sucks that I tossed the box for the Geissele mount. That was expensive. At least I won’t be making any more mistakes! So thank you! It looks pretty cool now (muzzle device inbound with suppressor) and the finish looks weird in the pic due to all the oil seaping out. It came out really well.View attachment 8733116

I can't comment about switches and stuff. Whatever NV gear I've used was borrowed and have only really shot passively.

It looks like its coming together.

Which suppressor are you going with?
