    Kyle Rittenhouse To Sue Whoopi Goldberg, Other 'Celebrities, Politicians And Athletes' For Calling Him A Murderer.

    Like it or not, Rittenhouse is likely a "public figure" and the standard for a defamation claim for public figures is "actual malice", which is very difficult to prove.

    Cutting Edge Cur X .22

    I took a Redding bushing and set it up in a tool head so that I could “neck size” the .22 case. I only size the top of the case, roughly the same length as as the part of the bullet that gets seated. I used a drill press and some aluminum automotive plugs that had the same threads as the tool...

    Cutting Edge Cur X .22

    I used VV3n37 and Longshot with decent results. I got better velocities with Longshot. I think there are a bunch of powders that could work well, but it is really tedious to load those tiny little cases. CE did publish a listing showing initial results with quite a few powders. I never got...

    Peened Case Mouths

    I didn’t express any opinion about what way to do anything, I simply pointed out that what you said is factually incorrect. Stating something that is demonstrably not true is not justified because it is your “opinion.”

    Facts are important in forming an opinion.

    Peened Case Mouths

    I call BS on this. Tumbling a reasonable amount of brass for a reasonable time will not have any meaningful effect. At the worst, you will work-harden a micro thin layer at the surface of the metal. To work-harden a piece so that you gain measurable hardness, you would need to apply pressure...

    Virgin brass ES vs Anealed Reloaded Brass ES???

    I have not done a back-to-back comparison, but I usually do preliminary load development with the virgin and then re-run it for once fired, and I do log my results. It’s a pretty clear trend that once or twice fired has better SD/ES than virgin, for me anyway. In addition to the greater brass...

    Is Primer (and other components) Cost/Supply Keeping Folks from Competing?

    In prior years, our monthly club matches regularly maxed out at 56 people. We are now running a lot of matches with 25-30 people. Other club members now talk about rationing their supplys for only the matches that they most want to shoot. I have also been told that the range that we shoot at...

    Virgin brass ES vs Anealed Reloaded Brass ES???

    I generally get better SD/ES with brass that has been fired previously.

    Reloading Press

    You can do precision loading on a 550, but you have to work at it a little, the Coax will be better for that. But you can do large volume handgun/plinking ammo on the 550 a lot more easily than the coax. What will the bulk of your reloading be? If you want to do any volume reloading, the 550...

    Rifle Scopes March 1-10 Shorty Dual Focal - Reviews?

    I received one of the March long scope rings today. I haven't mounted it yet. but it looks solid and well made. The 1.4" height might be a bit tall for my purpose, but would probably work well on an AR.

    Peened Case Mouths

    You are probably either overloading your tumbler or running it too long. Unless the peening is extreme, a quick chamfer should take care of it.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    IIRC, way back in the thread someone from Zermatt said that you didn’t need that much for a rimfire barrel. I think they said 30-50ft/lb, which is what I have been using.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    When I first got my 6 Creed, I used large primer. Then small primer was easily available, I never really saw any performance difference. If you are shooting hot loads, there may be a benefit to small primer because pockets and web area have more material and should be more resistant to...

    Lapua Testing - Midas vs Center-X

    Oh yeah, forgot about that. Yes, they are metric.

    Lapua Testing - Midas vs Center-X

    IIRC, it is distance hit to hit. It's basically a measure of group size, or how much variation there is in sequential hits.

    Purchasing from GA Precision

    I've got a couple rifles originally built by GAP and a rifle they re-barrelled. All great stuff, but I haven't done anything with them for quite a while because I couldn't get them to respond to messages. The last straw was I wanted to order a custom rifle and couldn't get them to take the...

    Anyone here with a real fast twist 22lr?

    I got my 1:9 Lilja barrel, but have only had the opportunity to shoot at 50/100yds. At that range, accuracy is pretty close to my standard twist Krieger barrel, with the Krieger maybe having a slight edge. Now that the holidays are over, I am hoping to get to shoot it at longer distances. I...
