That’s how I sleep after I bang your mom

actually we could buy it and import it from anywhere like our antibiotics etc. something else to tariff. opiates are as cheap to make as aspirin. huge markup and tax source for somebody.

some random China thoughts.
Taiwan a big ? mark with a complex history. Japanese possession til '45. mainland always considered them kinda backwards "yellow trash". didn't pay it much attention. that changed when Chiang essentially invaded it in '49 after Mao's win. remember the artillery exchanges at Quemoy and Matsu in 50s? the Nixon China action and making up the 1 china idea to bug Russia and split the commie world is a cause of a bunch of our problems. Chiang being there caused Mao to get interested. the idea to help China get rich and become a "democracy" was more idiocy. that and losing our manufacturing base caused by greedy unions,execs and the IRS was our added suicidal idiocy. BTW Taiwan was never ruled by Peking or really considered a part of China during it's long imperial history.
protecting Taiwan with force will get us trashed. big ocean full of bad subs. eventually would go nuc because our neocons couldn't take another defeat like VN or ME. kinda like China invading Cuba.

Pull the bullet on a known "hard to close round" and try to chamber that empty case w/o a bullet. That would isolate the possibility of over size cases, which are not uncommon.

You could have more than one thing going on.....

Usually, jamming a bullet into a tight leader or throat that hard would result in a bullet staying stuck in the bore and powder all in the action when extracting the case. Rub marks on the bullet may only be a secondary issue. Maybe, maybe not...

Isolate and remove one thing at a time from the equation.

Hey @Dirty D don't listen to these assholes. They just poke fun at you because you get all the fat chicks. I picked you up something nice at the farmer's market today.

fuck exporting it. we are facing shortages here. sell it here and quit the price gouging caused by the big export corps.

Do you have a modified case that you can drop a bullet in and just see where the lands engage at?

It’s nuts that it literally started from nowhere after shooting fine recently but I’d be interested to see where it touches the lands and what the CBTO measurement it compared to the factory loaded rounds.

tough job to do. likely as bad or worse than VN. who is the enemy? remember 1/5+ of Mexicans work for or are dependent on cartels. where/how to get reliable intel? mostly spec op work? open or clandestine missions? air support? penetrate Mex airspace an act of war? how far so. to go? how to handle cities? maritime actions?
bad idea IMHO. best to bring back all branches back to this country. totally close the border-free fire,mine fields,sophisticated monitoring,clean out cities with military force. posse comitatus is not an issue. exceptions in the law as written and used in the past at least twice. i think taking out the profit motive by opening the laws,cleaning out homeless camps caused by the drug trade,ignoring ODs would be a big help. plenty of work to be given to police and ICE.
we are at war inside our borders folks.

Split the head and tripod?

I’m interested in the anvil.

Not sure where I hear this fairly recently but sure struck a chord:

“Hope is very little more than delayed disappointment”

This is the creed of the marxist dem party. All gloom and doom. No hope for the future. Just surrender all freedoms and reliance on your false god and the government will provide for you from cradle to grave, in equal misery for all.

Who wants em

Lets get these moved

Bumping this back up. Think I'm looking to move it again.

I have a v4 that I have had for a bit and probably used it to make 3k or so rounds without issue. The only problem I have run into is that occasionally the scale won't connect to the phone app which is fixed by unplugging the scale for a few seconds and plugging it back in.

Overall I like it a lot and don't have any complaints. If mine died today I am not sure if I would buy a replacement or try the IP trickler. I think I would try the IP trickler as the system seems to be a bit of a better mousetrap.

I have never worried on bolt guns, but I can speak to the benefits of a “sacrificial” break on hard use SBRs. My original work gun was a 10” 556 and I ran an AAC can at the time. Speaking with their guys at SHOT they recommended running their break instead of flash hider or direct thread options as the break acts as a sacrificial baffle of sorts, so I did. That rifle saw lots of hard use in classes, training, etc. Tens of thousands of rounds. I replaced the break when the bore was 30 cal instead of 223….which happened several times. Can stayed in good shape. That has been my practice for hard-use SBRs since then…..though I’ve recently given a direct thread printed inconel can a try on a 12” gun. Maker dared me to break it.
