I built a 737R 6 Dasher a few months ago and got everything pretty close to where I want it. I took it out to a prairie dog shoot over the last week and experienced my rounds sticking into the rifling after about 100 rounds. A cartridge closed into battery slightly hard which prompted me to eject it, when I did it ejected hard and pulled the case out without the bullet.

I'm about .010" off the lands according to the old school method of finding the lands via the feel of an ejector-less bolt. I started with .015" and experienced more consistent muzzle velocities at .010" and stopped there. Before my trip I shot pretty extensively without seeing any issues. I'm loading off a Dillon XL750 and the dies are on a dedicated tool head. I use the same shell holder slot to seat all my rounds. I'm using Redding type S with a micrometer seating die.

Before my trip I went out and shot 50 rounds at the range and did not clean it. About a week later was day 1 of my shoot and I shot about 50 rounds and experienced my first stuck round. I unstuck the round (very easily) with my cleaning rod and cleaned the rifle. Cartridges were entering into battery and ejected without a problem. The next day I shot about 100 without a single issue and then it popped up again. This time I unstuck the round and cleaned the powder out and put another round in with the same result. I cleared the bullet and have not cleaned it in case the community here suggests I take a look at something.

Is this carbon ring buildup or something else? Should I back off and increase my land jump?

Alright - don't throw stuff at me, but... I searched to find the "stupid marksmanship" forum without success.

My gut is saying yes to my question, but I'm defering to the experts here on the Hide.

So here goes:

Will recoil be equal in 2 different cartridges/calibers if:

1. The rifle is exactly the same - stock, weight, etc.
2. The same powder and charge is used: example H4350 44.2 grains
3. The same bullet weight is used with roughly the same desgin - i.e. eld vs eld or Nosler BT etc.

Example:

6.5 creed shooting 130 vs 270 shooting 130 - using H4350 at 42 grains - won't they both have equal recoil energy?

6.5 creed shooting 100gr vs 6 creed shooting 100gr - using H4350 42 grains - same recoil?

So, what I'm getting at - within reason - bore diameter aside recoil will be equal as long as bullet weight and charge are the same.

Thanks

Lefties, it's your time. The LSS GEN3 is now available for the Remington 700 SA Left handed rifles

Absolutely like new Z8i, I don't see a mark on it anywhere. It's been mounted but hasn't seen a round yet. BRXi reticle.

Bought it as an A Demo from EO over the winter, and it's just not what I need.








My loss is your gain! $2900 shipped/insured, or $2850 ftf.

Trade interests: Something along the lines of a S&B Klassic 2.5-10x56 or 3-12x50 illuminated, Zeiss V4 3-12x56 or V6 2-12x50 with $60 reticle, maybe a Leica Amplus6 2.5-15x56, + $$. Another possibility would be a 10x NL Pure, + some $$ for a 42, straight across for a 52.

Im currently assembling my first rifle based on the Origin action. Planning on using a trigger tech trigger. Just to confirm, the origin has the bolt release built in so I can use a TT trigger without a bolt release. Is this correct?

The good harris with the good adapter, ready for whatever clamp/adapter you want

Good Morning,

Picked up a rifle over the weekend with the intention of it being a light weight hunting rifle for the deer woods. I'd envision sitting on stand in the morning, still hunting throughout the midday, and sitting again in the evening.

It's a Bergara Carbon Ridge, and I'd like to swap the stock to something a bit more rigid. I'd like to keep the traditional design, and have been looking at the AG Composites Sportsman and Carbon All Terrain.......but, figured this group would likely know of more options, thus the question.

Thoughts on other stock makers I should check out?

Thanks!

Brand new never used only loaded gray ops full size AW 13-round mag. $200 shipped

Selling my brand new in box Vortex Radian CF tripod with ballhead. $500 sold locally

I have two picatinny clamp Vortex Razor Red dots on vortex picatinny quick release risers.

3moa dots.

No outdoor use… they’ve been on my home defense weapons and are in perfect condition. They got zeroed at the range then kept inside.

They come with new batteries installed.

Asking $360 shipped for picatinny razor red dot, 3moa dot, WITH quick release picatinny riser.

I think the Red dot was $400 and the quick release mount was over $100 new, and these are in new condition.
Selling because I need an LPVO and they’re insanely expensive.

Pics show dust on it because it never gets used lol.


Thanks
Keith

Question for the smart folks:
Caveat - with reference to UR and his annealing tests with the AMP annealer

Say I buy a box of ammo (Berger uses Lapua brass) and I shoot it. I collect the brass, resize, anneal (let's posit that the annealing is done "right), clean (to remove any carbon from the neck), prime, powder, reload.

Can this brass, although fired, be considered the same as "new" brass now? Yes, it's been fired, but it has also been "returned to factory settings."

Does the 1x fired apply to brass that wasn't annealed and resized, etc? But does the annealing put it back to "new" condition?

UR got 76 firings out of one case.

Just a topic for discussion.

Ill add it to the other compliments I’ve been given- “bitter clinger” “deplorable “ “ anti science “ “racist” “climate denier” and my favorite “domestic extremist” for my views on taxation my rights and my literal interpretation of the Bible. Now I’ve gotta learn to spell antithesis.

I am an antithesis of their “justice industry “.

If you are going to Africa and don’t take this scope, can you really say you went???

I have not had this scope since new, but I have not mounted it and I’m 99% sure it’s never had rings on it.

Seems like a great scope, made to easily shoot with both eyes open while on the move.

Would consider trades, open to ideas.
