JP Bolts on sale at Primary Arms

Just a heads up... please note.. the one with the FP says it is phosphated, the other says it is DLC.

I can't find the "phosphated" version on the JP webpage.... so I am "hoping" it is DLC... we will see.

Anyone here go to Kettlefoot gun club that could help me troubleshoot?

I go to Kettlefoot gun club in Bristol VA usually every weekend. I'm trying to diagnose some accuracy issues that I'm having with one of my builds and would love if someone who's a better shot than me can get behind it and see if the problem is just my skills. Also, if you have a rifle I could throw my optic on to see if it groups for you - to rule that out.

I'd greatly appreciate it and would be willing to pay you for your time.

Thanks

Vertical Strings

I am causing Vertical Stringing--its at 100 yards and its real obvious at 1k. (we also have chronos so those high flyers aren't faster). I read body position it the culprit, but is there any specific practice or exercise to cure me of this? Its a small effect (about 1/2-1 MOA) but its pretty damn obvious as its almost always vertical and usually high. Horizontally i can make em touch at 100, but i can get 2-3 calibers of width vertical (Angry fist at swirling winds for LR)

Craddock Pangris barrels range trip + The Redemption of Battle Arms

I had a plan. It was to spend *all day* at the range. That turned into having to work a little, but got there for 10:45. Plenty of time. Getting all this stuff out, targets set up, etc was 45 minutes. Then I got a call from work that we got in a rush order that I had to deal with at 3PM. Cue beating head against concrete.

I was able to get the bare minimum I wanted to accomplished, which was to check out the 13.9" skinny and 14.5" .750 fluted guns, verify function, and swap my NOX over from a 12.5" to the Battle Arms build.

I don't think I was shooting my best today. I got some 1" groups, but I had more called flyers than typical. I plan to get back out there sooner than later with my sons and some more time, and hopefully we can identify the practical accuracy potential for the Craddock barrels when sampling some different ammo. For today's abbreviated trip, I was satisfied.

All guns were 6.5 Grendels barreled by Craddock - two .750 18's, two .750 14.5's, and two .625" 13.9's.

My plan was to use my 20X reference scope on all rifles, and then to see what ammo preference they had, and best possible 5 shot groups.

What actually happened was I verified function on the 14.5" - the 18's and 13.9s had both been shot a little prior too.

A long long long long time ago, before the wind, before the snow - Battle Arms Development gave me a store credit due to a couple things having some QC issues. I documented them, and the CEO of the company ultimately got involved and gave me the credit. I used it for a BAD matched ultralight receiver set and their proprietary charging handle, the RACK if I recall.

As seen, the dry Battle Arms build is 5 lb 6 oz. I think I could hit 5 lbs even but I used a JP Silent captured spring (2 oz heavier) , the 14.5" .750 fluted bbl vs .625 13.9" (~3.5 oz heavier}, USGI charging handle would be lighter, and a full mass BCG. I wanted the gun to be light but not at the cost of strength/functionally. I don't feel like there are any short cuts that compromise utility. With an optic, can, heavy but effective mirage cover and loaded she is 8.5 lbs. If I recall, the weight savings using the BAD receiver set is 6-7 oz and the Smoke Composites across the three components is another 6-7 oz.

The gun ran 100% and I think all accuracy was indian, not arrow. Will get back out there to figure that out asap.

SIdebar, the Geisssele magazines solve all feeding issues. 100% reliable across all 6 guns.

SOLD Dillon XL650 set up for precision reloading

List attached as a picture.

Lyman M die on 650

I was loading 308win today. Cases are Lapua on their third loading. FL sized, and trimmed with the Dillon rt1500. I put a Lyman M die in station 1 of the loading toolhead, because everything I read said that I would not need to chamfer. Somewhere I went wrong. I was seeing copper shavings after seating. Then re read M die directions, and it said to flare 1/16" at mouth. I am guessing if I go this route I will need to crimp said brass after seating? I had gone this route because everything I had read says the Dillon size/trim die really shrinks the neck and that I needed to expand it back up to .306 and that the M die would do it and also eliminate chamfering. WIN WIN, or so I thought.

The questions I have now are

1) how bad is this going to affect accuracy?
2)Should I just go back to chamfering before going onto the loading toolhead?
3)Is their a better die for this job than the Lyman to expand?
4) Is their a better die to trim with than the Dillon?

Another one bites the dust...

These "Influencers" and TikTok whack jobs are dropping like flies.

Stalkers, pedos, now murderers live on streaming...


Guess they are living the glam lifestyles they always wanted. Beats working at McDonalds and getting an education.

That is unless they get raped, murdered or otherwise destroyed for becoming Social Media stars.

Of course, for most of them, it's mommy and daddy who get all the money and are really selling their kid's booty online to get a bigger house.

Sad that as a society, this is what kids aspire to.
