This.

I’ve had to tell plenty of people that their new $75 Auto Zone battery is dead a month after I told them their $150k Mercedes needed a battery

I wish you fellows would not use the term “Last Century.” It makes me feel so darned old. I remember when CCI rimfire first came on the market and had been shooting rimfire riles and handguns for many years before. And when someone says, “Last Century,” I always think of 1800 to 1899.

Seen those videos and it is well documented that the rounds, be it CCI, SuperX, Lapua, SK or Eley, come off the same line at their respective factories then tested and assign a grading. However, I’ve seen some pretty good matches shot with SK Standard + (as in second place out of forty-three shooters) so one never knows,

That would certainly eliminate the most obvious cause of the BC discrepancy. The other possible explanation I can think of is bullet deformation induced by feeding. To test that out, you can try manually ejecting a round after cycling - look for any tip deformation that might compromise ballistic performance. The bullet will almost certainly also have marks on the jacket, but that can also come from ejection so it's hard to independently isolate.


That polymer tip can logically only disguise a massive hollow point in the nose underneath, and that's exactly what it does.

The TMK expands almost immediately upon impact, down to velocities of <1600 FPS. The SMK usually doesn't expand at all and only tumbles and fragments down to velocities of about ~2100 FPS. Jacket on the 77 gr TMK may also be a bit thinner than on the 77 gr SMK.

Sierra can say whatever they like about what the bullet is 'intended' for, it doesn't change what it actually does (or what it actually was intended for, for that matter - claiming a bullet wasn't made to expand is one way to dodge Hague-related prohibitions overseas). As it happens in practice, the 77 gr TMK appears to be a superb hunting bullet, though barrier performance is not the best.

More than likely a fuse or even possibly a relay could have been damaged. It depends on the vehicle as all do things a little differently. I am surprised it started usually they pop one of the main 80-100 amp fuses or melt a fusible link (old cars). It could have even melted a smaller ground wire somewhere if the fuse didn't pop. Hopefully he learned from this mistake.

Can you engrave it with Roman numerals? Not too many people know how to read those numbers nowadays.

Note: I can't stand hear some kid bitch about his math teachers when they made us add, subtract, multiply and divide with Roman numerals!

actually my thought is "legal tender for all debts public and private" seems like refusing cash would (should) be a fed offense. not gonna happen. even FL has some turnpike exits "cash not accepted". the push to eliminate cash is ongoing and universal. there is a reason for that of course.

Also, if the car needed a jump, was it because they left the lights or something else on and ran the battery down, or is the battery weak and needing replacement? A battery in poor condition can cause all kinds of weird symptoms across multiple systems in a modern car, so don't rule out a bad battery... I've seen thousands of dollars of parts thrown at a car to correct multiple ECM, TCM, and BCM related faults and the root cause was a bad battery, lol

I would rather not, but I have to mark caliber and capacity to be in compliance.

You need to start working through the variables; different scope, ammo, torque on screws, scope on a different known shooter etc.

Most of your issue appears to be vertical stringing which made me give a closer look to your photos. Your scope is sliding forward in your rings, if you look closely at the photos you can see the mark forward of each of the rings. On those heavy Razors you should be going a little higher than the normal 18 inch pounds, I usually go to about 22 inch pounds on mine.

I meant $2.47 a round thanks guys I can always count on ya to be so supportive and helpful .

Wether or not I fucked up on my early morning math point is - holy fuck expensive as fuck for a general issue rifle , expensive still for a SPR - crazy expensive for machine gun use . And until our tax dollars build a factory to produce this shit price ain’t gonna come down .

And if anything price will go up because Sig has to recoup some revenue from rather anemic pistol sales

So, $50 for a box of 20? I can walk into Academy sports right now and pick up 1/2 a dozen fairly vanilla chamberings that cost within a couple of bucks of that. Yeah, it’s expensive, but when Hornady Match 6.5 CM is in excess of $40, it’s not THAT expensive…
