New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

B
6arc108group.jpg

I found the pic of one of the early groups on the rifle. It had a whole 20 rounds through it at this point. Warm barrel with a Magnetospeed hanging off the end and a one minute call to cease fire on the line at the range. Not bad for a slightly rushed group at the end of my trip.

I have let some of my workers shoot it on a trip to 1000 and all of them had no issues. This was the first time any of them shot past maybe 50 yards. I warmed them up at 730ish yards first with no issues, then straight to 1k. So to let a handful of novice guys get behind a rifle and give them wind calls and watch every round impact the target was cool to experience. I wish I took pics of some of the groups at distance. Usually 5 shots about the size of my fist at 1000 yards on a zero wind day. With wind I had a little more spread, but very impressive for a gas gun and factory ammo.

That is the first thing they say, but then if you go on to read more it basically says put it where ever you want/ works for you, just don't shove it to far down into the case neck.

I hang mine pretty far out there cause I have a long throat and don't wanna give up case capacity.

I've thought about getting another reamer with a shorter throat for solids only because I think I'm giving up some velocity to pressure loss, I'm jumping them roughly 150 thou

Don't worry, you've got plenty of time. Thread was started 4 years ago.

Having spoken to Terry all of once, I love the dude and totally appreciate what he's doing but it just ain't fair to hold something so great out in public and not offer it for sale for so long!

I can see that he (the sign remover) was trying to make/prove a point. I just don't know if I'd have done it that way (i.e. direct confrontation with the libtards). Perhaps, I'd wait until they go home for the night and then do it. Confronting them like that is a bit risky, not knowing if they're armed or not, and with what. Or, if you might have to use with what you are armed.

Getting around to measuring CBTO to get some initial loads worked up, and ran into an issue. For every other caliber I load i just use a Hornady OAL tool. Stick it into the chamber, push the rod till the bullet touches the lands, and start at .020 off the lands from there. When I do this, the 400 gr lazer is literally almost falling out of the case in order for the bullet to touch the lands.

Is the method for seating the CEB Lazers different since it has the sealtite band? The barrel has a .225 FB, which was recommended by Tubb. I didn't measure it before i left for work, but its sticking out about .25" past the sealtite band.

You can probably shoot mono's or cup and core bullets in that chamber. Just stick the bullet into the case until you are comfortable with how much the neck is holding it.

Maybe because thats what insurance companies do... like 9 out of 10 times.

How many insurance stories have you read where the person was like "oh my fuck they gave me 125% value for my car that was totaled"? Most likely between 0 and 1...

How many insurance stories have you read where the insurance company offered like 50% value of the item and claim market rate, when everybody(including them) knows its complete horse shit. Then you take weeks on end, maybe a lawyer, etc... to get them to come up to a more reasonable number, which is generally probably still low.... My guess is a ton.

I think thats why people are expecting a hassle when it comes to dealing with insurance no matter the product being insured...


My guess is PV, like most everybody if they are honest, was under-insured, but possibly not due to the product they inventoried. Hell its possible somebody wouldnt even SELL them fire insurance and they could be royally fucked... no clue. If they have the policy limits and the live computer inventory of their warehouse it should be a pretty easy settlement. Stuff like the value of the building and other things will be where they possibly get into a tug of war with the insurance.

Sheesh! So much passion.

Truth is, while I did once have big issues with an insurance company after a hurricane, the number of fraud cases are huge. That’s no joke nor fabrication. Here in Florida, the number of Scam roofing companies that operate throughout the state are a giant hassle. Most of them are based in other states like Texas, etc. and are run by attorneys. They change their name every year and go from door to door convincing homeowners that the latest “hail storm” caused enough damage to warrant a new roof courtesy of their insurance company.

Then they hire local roofers that don’t have their own license, largely because of their ethic makeup to do the work for peanuts.

I’m quite familiar with with them. That type of fraud alone runs in the billions and is a large reason why insurance companies have become like they are when it comes to addressing claims.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a believer that insurance companies exist solely because organized crime needed a legal outlet for their operations. It’s literally a protection racket, but made legal and even required by law. How perfect is that?
