DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

Hopefully, I'm not going way out in left field on this idea but here goes. Is there any chance @RAVAGE88 can produce a super accurate rimfire with a Fortner / straight-pull action that would fit in a R700 stock or chassis?

Yes, I know that Anschutz and Volquartsen already produce rifles with those actions but I'm confident that @RAVAGE88 has the skill to design one that can top those other manufacturers.

I realize that sounds like a crazy, outside of the box request. Yet, @RAVAGE88 was thinking outside the box when he started making super accurate rifles that had a 700 footprint years ago and look how it took off!

Pardon me while I slip into something flame-retardant.
Thanks, Dude, nothing flame retardant required.

Another Unscientific AAC Ammo Comparison

Based on the numbers I've seen, my own and some across the internet, I suspect that the powder they landed on using has a faster burn rate than is ideal. Assuming that they are using a 20" barrel to get their velocity claims, it looks like they are getting to their advertised (in some cases) velocity at a barrel length much shorter than 20".

Just looking at the numbers above, I would have expected to see the velocity go up by almost 100 fps when going from a 14.5 to a 16. The fact that it only goes up about 35 fps might indicate that the powder is running out of steam at about the 14.5 mark.

What did you do in the reloading room today?

From memory it was a 24 case with 57.1gr when I weighed the 1 case. I have some more loaded for this weekend and weigh them after.

Have only gone to the range a couple of times with the hybrids. Have learned a lot about what gun and bolt set up likes to be pushed. Seems like the small firing pin setups can be pushed pretty hard. Large firing pin and larger firing pin holes will show pressures sooner.
