Primer pressure vs neck tension

There’s been quite a few discussion about neck tension, neck lube, and some discussion on primer weight sorting too and SD
I have no answers but just questions for the experts here.

Do you suppose that there is a good relationship between getting good SD and neck tension/lube has to do with whether a primer by itself causes enough pressure to dislodge the bullet from the case and enter the rifling? Or by how deep it enters?

Suppose a primer does not always dislodge bullet from the case depending on neck tension, neck crimp, and neck lube. So a lighter hold on the bullet from the neck would result is more likely to dislodge bullet with just the primer, and a stronger neck hold results in more unlikely to dislodge. Then wouldn’t it be a good assumption that a middle strength hold on the neck results in inconsistency in dislodging?

Wouldn’t this inconsistency cause the SD to be higher due to different combustion characteristics?

Then all this discussion around SD in relation to neck tension, lube, crimp, primer weights etc really are trying to find a combo that creates a consistent release?

If so, would a consistent strong neck grip that is stronger than the primer alone can dislodge be about as good as one that consistently allows the release? Or would one be preferable to another? Why?

7 IVPOs compared out to 600yds

You get to see some great examples of how reticles, parallax, Side Focus, and glass clarity come into play in this video. It’s an extension of his other video that compared 36 different scopes. He calls them IPVOs.

Notice how some thick lines get in the way when using the tree for drop.

Accessories Used MDT CKYE-POD GEN2 SINGLE PULL STANDARD - BIPOD w/ BTC head

Lightly used MDT CKYE-POD GEN2 SINGLE PULL STANDARD - BIPOD w/ BTC head. This is the head that works with both picatinny and ARCA.

I used this for two photoshoots, it has some very minor wear on the "holes" where the adjustments are and a bit of wear on the spikes. 100% functional.

Let me know if you need anymore photos.

$450 shipped. SOLD

Optics ISO Broken Optics

My bro-in-law is in grad school researching and working with optics and lasers.

Anyone have any decommissioned or broken optics lying around that you’d be willing to donate? He plans to cut them open in the lab as part of his research.

I’ve already hooked him up with a couple cheap hunting scopes, primarily looking for other varieties of mid-grade optics. Don’t need ZCO quality, but something of decent build quality would be helpful.

I’ll cover shipping.

Thanks for your consideration!
