Ukraine war Bullshit.

This has gone far enough. And the he bullshitters are now in high gear.

A link to the article is first:

https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukrai...s-earthquake-sized-blast-picked-up-from-space

Never mind the article, the comments after the article are the important part. Everyone in the comments seems to think that Russia started the war.

Russia did not start this war. If you don't know that you are severely misinformed. Who started this war? WE DID.

And I'm not going to spoon feed you the details. Do your own freaking research. That's all have to say about that.

Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

When proper Headspace gauges are not available, this is a pretty widely used method of spitballing a sorta-close headspace. It has been used for a long time and is considered a rough cheat code to make sure the HS is in the right zip code.

My concern recently is that we have been seeing ammo quality (consistency specifically ) being all over the place. Seemingly in the last 20yrs it has gotten worse instead of better. Maybe because of 2 or 3 back to back ME wars and the producers not taking time to PM their machines and double check QC processes as much. (?)

Anyway . . . . . . . my point is that I have a literal pile of factory ammo that won't go into correctly headspaced factory chambers.

The worst offender is Hornady but I have a few Federal, Win and even Sig.
These rounds look perfect visually but are too long on the shoulder datum -> headstamp dimension. We have also seen a few that are too short on the opposite of that dimensional spectrum to the point they are inducing ignition problems.

I don't think using such a round with tape on the rear to "set" or check headspace would be "dangerous" but if the sample cartridge was out of spec, it could cause excessive brass stretch.
It could even cause the phone to ring at shops like Wade's to bitch about an out of spec chamber that is actually in spec.

@spife7980 I'm not arguing or trying to bust your chops. Just sharing my personal thoughts based on personal concerns and experience, neither of which proves I'm right. So this post is simply meant as food for thought and a "rumble strip" warning to proceed cautiously for the novices.

Accessories Factory Tikka T3X 270 WSM barrel and left handed stock reduced

Factory stock, magazine, bottom metal, and barrel off of a brand new left handed T3X Lite 270 WSM. This is one of the new ones with a threaded muzzle. Unfired parts from a project I’m working on - the rifle taken out of the box, disassembled, and the leftover parts put back in the box.

$200 for everything seen here except the Tikka sticker.

A peculiar problem

I have never encountered this issue before, in 30+ years of reloading.

I recently purchased 1000 of the .308, 180 grain tipped gamekings.

I went to load some ladders today and discovered that no matter what length I seat them at, they will not chamber in any of my 308s. They also will not chamber in my gauge. Yet, when I pulled the projectile, the brass will chamber cleanly!

I measured the diameter of the projectiles and they are .308 so thats not an issue.

I am using Alpha brass, I tried Fed brass as well.

I tried different levels of crimp as well, that did not help. I also tried partially seating the projectile and then chambering the round to finish seating. No luck. I am completely perplexed.

Thoughts?

My only possible thought is that its the shape of the projectile (see pic)

180 tgk next to 195 tmk (which chambers easily)

Tea App

This shit has potential to get really entertaining.

Short version is the Tea app is a women’s gossip app. They apparently either have to upload a pic of themselves or of their drivers license. The owners of the app had non existent cybersecurity. So ALL of the data & gossip messages are now out in the open.



And no, it’s not a “ dating safety app” it’s a gossip app.

Good rundown on the implications

Woox customer service sucks

I received my order yesterday. I have been waiting for this chassis for a build. I was missing a Hawkins M5 DBM. I went to call and no number to call only email or chat. Is this how they treat everyone. If an issue is found problems should warrant a call and be taken care of without the customers jumping through hoops. My issue is Woox didn’t send all of my order. Woox should now jump through hoops to fix my issue. Not the other way around.

I will keep everyone posted on how they fix this issue.
