Does "Over-Annealing" Impact Shot Dynamics?

A couple of weeks ago, while talking about annealing, @918v mentioned that he saw velocity drop load to load when he annealed every shot. He mentioned that he has shifted to annealing less than every shot (I think he mentioned 1/4, but I can't find it - perhaps he will post here). He called it "over-annealing", but that technically means you've cooked a case by getting it too hot - we need to come up with another label here...

Per AMP, annealing every time - or even annealing multiple times in a row - does not offer different results.

So, which is it?

I tend to agree with much of what @918v posts, so I don't discount what he's saying. At the same time, AMP is certainly in the know here too.

I decided to run what will likely be the first of many tests in this regard.

What I did:

- I took new Lapua brass and prepped as follows: uniformed flash holes and primer pockets, trimmed/chamferred/deburred, mandrel, neck lube
- After the trim step, I annealed every piece of this new brass. With five pieces, I annealed them four times, letting them cool completely between annealing
- I then primed, charged and seated (using an AMP Press)

Here are the plots (annealed 4x in blue):
08-Jul-2024 13_45 Multi Anneal Comparison.png


Notes:
- As you can see, the 4x annealed cases show markedly lower seating forces.
- This is likely to have been caused by the brass being slightly softer.
- If these two sets of cases were shot next to each other (and I will do so hopefully tomorrow, but I might have Covid...), you would expect to see slightly lower velocity from those with lower seating forces.
- This is not 100% analogous to annealing four times over four shots because in that case, the brass would be getting worked during each shot, so I wouldn't expect this much of a drop

What's next? I don't know. I have to noodle on what would be a good test here to see how much this impacts things - I also hope I don't have Covid so I can test these tomorrow.

FN 49 Sniper OIP Scope

I recently by chance found the FN 49 Sniper OIP Scope in an antique shop and have tried to determine which variant it is. All the other threads refer to Luxembourg, Belgian, Egyptian and other. The numbering on the scopes clearly shows where it is from, but my scope does not have any of these codes. Mine shows markings of C.B. F.P. No 161. I can not find any reference to these codes on the internet. Has anyone seen this before.

MDT HNT26 LOP spacer - a different solution

Trying to judge how much interest there might be in a LOP spacer for the HNT26. This would be in the XTN interface between the action and buttstock.

As most folks familiar with them know, the LOP is quite short and adding their spacers at the shoulder end isn't optimal. If you add many you not only add the weight but you're moving away from the cheek rest. IMO it would be better to add a LOP spacer between the action and buttstock. MDT uses their XTN interface so a spacer would require a male/female tube with a bolt extension to accommodate the spacer. Yes this does mean the rifle while folded would be longer by the length of the spacer. There is no option to add the spacer behind the folder as it is epoxied in place at that end. My understanding from MDT is all variations of the HNT26 use the XTN interface so a spacer should fit any of the variations.

Given that factory LOP is 12.5" I'm thinking about spacers of 1" and/or 1.5". This would allow the user to do fine adjustments with the standard MDT LOP spacers if needed. My thoughts are keep it modular so a person can make add/remove as desired, just needing the wrench (ball-hex on folders).

I could of course get my local machinist to simply make one for me but I noticed lots of folks here and other sites wishing there was longer LOP or a better solution than the factory spacers. I talked to MDT about it and while they have no plans to make one, they appear to support a 3rd party project to make them. The issue now becomes is there enough interest to justify a small batch cnc order while keeping end user pricing similar to what we see for similar accessories.

If you might have interest in something like this please respond saying so and what length you'd prefer.
