I try to make objective based decisions, and really define the purpose. You mention steel out to 1700 and hunting elk/deer in the PNW.

Two very different objectives.

6.5 PRC, 7 SAUM and 300 SAUM/WSM are good options, but the rifle configuration will determine how much you like the rifle.

An 8lb WSM will be great to pack in the woods and put the hurt on elk, but would be a pain to shoot on steel all day. Sure a few rounds, walking out to distance is doable, but it won't be pleasant all day.

If your goal is to shoot more steel, and occasionally hunt, then you could build something around 10lbs and shoot the 6.5 or 7mm. Mild mannered on the range but manageable in the field.

You must have forgot about cops. All they do is sit around eating donuts. And highway workers they just stand around leaning on shovels, and janitors they just drink coffee in the janitors closet. Crying about how easy everyone elses job is, is just another symptom of our victim society.

Cut off all the local money you want. Just gives the feds more power over your school.

Keep sucking that Biden dick. Your creamy reward awaits.

Tell us how hard teaching is, we have time. Regale us with a tale of grading papers.

I think that's a good move. On the other hand...I am doing some loading tonight and shooting tomorrow for a Badlands 205 grain SBD2 in my 20 inch 300 PRC over RL26, will report back how smokin hot I can get that thing

I tried loading 10x rounds of the 78.5 of Retumbo with the same 230gr ATip in the ADG brass.

I got 5 in and knew it wasn't as good. Velocity jumped to 2846fps (no pressure signs) but SD in just that string went to 21. Not gonna work. Accuracy opened as well.

Sticking with 2790fps and the node it's in.

With you already having a 6.5cm I'd go with a 7saum if you reload or 300wsm if you want more factory options. The prc isn't that much of a jump over the CM.

What a crazy world we live in

I feel ya - I stopped playing arcade games in the late 80s when they started charging TWO quarters!

N555 8lbs

N565 8lbs

I'm not gonna start anything, but those two are poor examples of either cartridge and neither is a "best load for bear". 500 ft lbs for 10mm is low end. 900 for .44 is on the low-mid side. Both would use hard cast or mono metal slugs for bear. At the end of the day, 10mm is a better analog for .357 mag, not .44. If it's absolute power you crave then it's .44 all day.

I would argue that slowly murdering a growing human being in the womb is as bad or worse than doing it to one outside the womb, just from a medical perspective. They’re in an insulated, nurturing environment being fed nutrients by their mother, close to her heart and circulatory system, feeling her biorhythms every moment, then an invasive instrument at the hands of one who is determined to destroy them is inserted and used to crush and separate their body parts.

What a hell on earth that must be for the unborn and what few moments they had at this life.

If a woman wants a choice, she can stay off her back and keep her legs closed. Less than 1.5% are rape or incest, so that’s not what we are talking about. Over 98% of abortions are clearly cases of wanting to avoid consequences for actions taken.

We should not support those kinds of decisions with law, especially given the mass consequences for the rest of society looking at collapsing birth rates.

Guys, I’ve got this new 223 Wylde barrel (very reputable manufacturer, very expensive barrel), that I’m having trouble getting it to shoot accurately and I’m having gas issues with also. I’ve put about 100 rounds thru it and after borescoping it I found the gas port inside the barrel has a dimple on it, the gas port is not perfectly round, see the picture below.

What would you say caused this? Again, new barrel, with only about 100 rounds (77gr sierra matchking). IMO this is a manufacturing defect, I can’t see any other root cause for this problem.

I had the same type of pattern on my gas port from a LaRue Tactical Barrel.
After about 30 rounds through it I cleaned it and every time my Tipton rod and Jag got to where the Gasport was I could fill it catching and making a slight tick noise.
Then I bore scoped it and found this.

Thankfully they offered to replace the barrel for me and I told them to make it quicker I could just do it myself and not only did they send me the barrel but they sent me a new gas block gas tube and one of their Barrel nuts along with their special tool to change the barrel and no extra charge just for the inconvenience.

I was still averaging 0.5-in groups but it just bugged me because the more I shot the larger it got.

I can tell that as the bullet passed over the high spot it was waging the bullet downward so from that point forward there was no copper fouling on that particular land in the barrel because the copper wasn't touching it.

I know this is an old thread I just never ran into anyone else that had the same problem I did so I wanted to make a comment.

Hope you all are having a lovely day

The fact that they successfully installed him aside, the fact that they've been able to keep him in there, holy shit batman.

You ain’t seen nuthin yet……

I'd feel pretty good with my K18i-2 on a16" suppressed 556 AR.

I'm not doing my loading, does that matter? I see AAC as the problem, I am more wondering if allowing Zermatt to increase travel is worth it.

You can use it to check the AAC ammo.
If the ammo gages correctly, it might be a hard primer issue or a tolerance stacking issue.
I wouldn't modify my firearm because one brand of ammo doesn't work.
AAC ammo doesn't have the best reputation.

I am sure there is a boardroom somewhere of some elite global bankers who are laughing their asses off that they were able to install a demented moronic pedophile as President of the United States and the people actually accepted that this creature won 81 million votes.

If you have to have one, why not just weld one up that is made of the appropriate thickness and type of steel? Pretty easy to do and you can make it fit your dims.
