First time firing a new barrel. I didn't see any grooves in the bullet when I cycled them before firing.

But great suggestions, TY.

All my AI 30 cal barrels HATE Hornady bullets. I was popping primers at 2550 fps with 308 178 BTHP rounds. I even pulled down FGMM 175 rounds which shot at 2700 just fine and put the 178 in making sure to not touch the lands. It was still overpressure by a massive amount.

I have no idea why, but it is consistent across guns, barrels from both Bartlein and LW, and across OAL variances, charges, and case type.

The ONLY thing it could be is the bullet. I have seen this in 30-06 with Hornady 208s as well.

From the FD report in the OP, last line.
"At this time there appears to be no relation to the structure fire last evening."

First prize goes to the man who can tell us how many times she used the word "whore." Get your counter for this one.

The earliest mention of the incident that I could find goes back to 2007. It periodically showed up in 2014, 2018, 2021... It seems legit.

I bought a 10rd Lancer a couple years ago. I used it once and then forgot it at the range. The only magazine I have ever lost. Stupid....

I am really not aware of much overlap in what LRI and PTG do. If LRI has remington bolts for sale for less than 150 bucks. Please link the page.

I run the Tubb dies w no issues. I will be ordering a Forster comp seating die w a honed stem for my 37xc. The Tubb seater I will continue to use for my 33xc. I believe the Tubb seater is actually made by Whidden.

So, this "event" is only Facebook true... meaning I doubt it ever happened. There are no media outlets reporting any story that a Google search pulled up. HOWEVER, the exact same story was reported on Facebook two months ago as well. I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm just saying it doesn't pass the sniff test.

This event would require an 'OPREP-3/SIR' (Serious Incident Report) to be generated and sent to the Marine Corps Operation Center in DC. Those reports are compiled and sent out daily to about 170 generals and a few senior enlisted personnel, who will review each of the incidents.

For a loss of an aircraft (which I'm assuming would essentially be the case here), the Director of Aviation (3-star) is going to have to brief the Commandant of the Marine Corps... So there's a LtGen who'd be somewhat embarrassed between having to explain these events to the CMC, as well as have his dirty laundry aired out in front of his peers and subordinate commanders.

And as we all know what runs downhill...

I would have expected a follow-up story about a commander being relieved, even all the way down at the O-5 level. The news agencies, and especially the Marine Corps Times publishes all of those stories.

Why use ptg when LRI exists?

Because unfortunately LRI doesn't make stuff make stuff like reamers and headspace gages for hundreds of cartridges, billet CNC R700 bolts, etc.

I’ve tried like six different magnifiers, the Trijicon 3x mini is the best IMO. The glass is fairly good and it has by far the best eyebox and smallest “bezel” effect I’ve seen including the pricy Aimpoint and Eotech magnifiers.

I still hated every magnifier I tried until I got the Unity FAST Omni FTC mount. Having something that big hanging off the side of the upper is obnoxious, with the Unity mounts it just tucks down nicely. Of course this only works if the 2.26” height is OK for you. I shoot with NV so for me the height is advantageous.

You also get the ever present "I don't do anything wrong, I have nothing to hide, my life isn't interesting so I don't care and it doesn't matter to me" idiots that are too stupid or blind to understand the problem.

They're almost as bad as the ones who enthusiastically support policies that are guaranteed to backfire later when the other party takes office.

If the useful idiots liked NSA surveillance, they're gonna love what's currently cooking. Combine some fuzzy lines between government and private parties (Palantir, Anduril, and a host of "stealth" startups we've not yet heard of) with a bit of 250-year-old wartime powers, mix in some "we can't afford due process because there's too many of them", add a dash of suspending habeas corpus, bake for another three years, and then hand it over to someone like Gavin Newsom. Y'all gonna love the way it tastes.

Instead of a red dot + magnifier, why not do a red dot + a 3x prism offset? That eliminates the need to flip your 3x magnifier back and forth.

Because you can easily pop the magnifier off when you don’t need/want the extra weight, or switch it from gun to gun in 5 seconds.

Pulling at 180* assures hard chew; needs to hit 205 to 210* plus pass soft probing. Try it.

Depends on what cook temp you use. At 275-295 pulling at 205 to 210 means the heat soak is going raise the internal temp to 220+. Then you are having dry brisket. In my experice most people make dry brisket and thinks it's good brisket.

Kind of like most people's "falling off the bones ribs" they blast them until the dried up meat is pealing off the bones.

Then they're all yum yum...

Fall off the bone tender.
