Oh, I know. I went through thousands of rounds with them until they fell apart. Probably still have some stashed away somewhere.

I bought some brass from them. A short time later everything started to come out and I realized I probably bought some brass that was sent to them to be reloaded.

A diamond one pound and under can experience the dead trigger with the pivoting handle. Ask me how I know. I switched to non pivoting and the problem solved. I’m at 13oz on my diamonds. Owning several Archimedes and starting with a pivoting cdg I can honestly say I’m not sure I’ve ever truly needed the function. I don’t load high pressure nor am I running crazy calibers. Op of asking this question if you want to run under a pound I wouldn’t be worried about getting the non pivoting one.

Great post. A 7mm-08 can push high BC bullet in that 2500-2600 range. Do you think there is point where the recoil is too much to make up for the extra flight time? It always seemed like the 6mm bullets don't have a real good b.c, the ballistics just looked good because of the velocity. I guess the 7mms might start running into action length problems also.

I used this tool to make comparisons when giving the 6.5x47 and 25GT a serious look. https://bisonballistics.com/calculators/recoil

I could perceive a difference in felt recoil after about a .2-.3 pound difference with what the calculator was tabulating. That said, there is more to it than just numbers. I had been also playing with a 223 with heavy 85 and 88 grain bullets. It seemed each time I went up in bore size, even if the numbers were a close match, you could feel a difference. The larger the bore, the more snap I seemed to feel. I'm thinking a person would need one of those graphing units that Gavin at Ultimate Reloader has that shows you the energy over time to see it.

7mm's are interesting and I wouldn't mind trying one at some point.

I'd love to look at some of these side by side. I've seen almost everything in the $1k-$3k range side by side but not many of the $3k+ scopes.

I had a Delta Stryker 4.5-30x56 on my Tikka for years. Fantastic scope. I just upgraded recently to the Burris XTR Pro. Love the Burris but sometimes I miss the Delta. They make great scopes

Not everyone in the world plays known distance games. I.E A lot of hunters like speed because it extends their PB zero and increases their point and shoot range. There are also games where you need enough power to knock down the silhouettes.

No updates? That does not bode well

Nope, they are considered the authority given jurisdiction. The national codes are solid, which most trade codes are developed from people in the trades. It's usually the locals that fuck it all up thinking they are god and you have to beg them to do anything and pay there extortion fees. Or they dream up with something that's not in writing when your trying to get your occupancy permit......( just recently went through this bs in Midland Texas for our new office)

unless the state has some sort of preemption law, the local jurisdiction can do that. doesn't make it constitutional or right, but they can do it

Lowes here has these signs up. The local plumbing, gas contractors lobbied the building department to not issue homeowners permits. So legally you can not work on your own home.

I was having an inspection on an HVAC system I installed for a customer. She was saying that they were going to add more insulation to the attic. The inspector told her that she needed to get a permit. I laughed out loud and told her that she didn't need to pay the government to save money on her electric bill. He tried to say that technically she really did. This city taxes rain water. They have to pay by the square foot of property for rain water run off into the storm drains. When he left I told her to insulate and ignore what he said. There's no licensing for insulation installers therefore no need for a permit.
