    I didn't even think the nose was right. Top pic, that guy's nose is much narrower just below the bridge. Eyes aren't right either, besides the skull thing. We're not supposed to question the media and big sugar, though.

    Good.I think 6.5 sb is what I'm gonna run with. It shoots good for me, and is actually easier to find in my area.

    All of the brass was new. The brass in question measured .469" after firing, the staball loaded brass was slightly smaller at .467"-.468". Virgin brass measures .466"

    So, I just checked the primer pockets on the cases with burrs. They checked good, still very tight. I also measured the case body at the web, just above the extractor groove. I am seeing .003" growth at the web, versus brand new, unfired cases. What amount of growth points to high pressure? I...

    I'm just about out of adjustment. The only thing that I haven't tried is a heavier buffer. Another member on here spoke of an 8 or 9 oz. buffer he was running, but I don't know where he sourced it from. I am running the strongest spring that sprinco offers, a KVP 5.6oz buffer, and the block...

    I'm using a RCA high pressure bolt in a toolcraft carrier. My condition is similar. It doesn't burr every case, but enough of them to concern me. I do have a primer pocket gauge, but haven't had time to check them yet.

    Rifle+2 gas length. I've adjusted the gas to the point that I'm 2 clicks above functioning issues. What is confusing is that this issue only occurs with H4350. I've shot varget and 6.5 staball up to book max without getting the heavy ejector swipes/burrs.

    What kind of velocity are you getting? I'm at 2760-2770 with 41grs. 41.9 gives me some nasty ejector swipe burrs.

    6.5 creedmoor AR Only

    Ok fellas, need some help understanding what I'm missing here. Went to the range today. Shot a load that was .1 gr under the hornady listed starting charge, and it chrono'd 60 fps ABOVE the velocity for the MAX charge. Rifle details: 24" x-caliber, 1-8 tw, 5R KVP 5.6oz buffer Sprinco orange...

    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    So, I have come back to the issue above, and wouldn't you know it, it turns out, it was user error on my part. When originally trying to check oal with all of the bullets I intend to try, I was oh so carefully easing the bullet into the chamber with the oal tool. At the first slight sign of...

    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    Hornady and starline is what I've used up to this point. I like the starline better, but sometimes it's hard to come by. I've got enough of both that I shouldn't need anymore.

    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    I've never had an issue with the hornady tool up until now. I've used it with numerous other barrels with good success. It's just confusing when I can chamber a factory round that measures .040" longer coal than the same bullet in the modified case on the hornady tool. I'll figure it out, but...

    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    Thanks to both of you gentlemen for the reply. After I posted last night, the situation was getting the better of me, so I took a factory hornady 88gr match rd, (the only factory ammo I have), and colored the bullet with a sharpie and chambered it with the bolt locked in. I did this 4 times and...

    New 224 valk barrel chamber length question

    So, got a new 224 valkyrie barrel to fit ar-15 platform. 24", 6.5tw, 5R, stainless. I am not naming the manufacture until I put it together and fire it. I have a 6.5 CR barrel from the same manufacturer that I am very happy with. My issue, if it is an issue, is that the chamber seems to be...

    Silicon Valley Bank Shares Halted After Plunge Deepens UPDATE: The Silicon Valley Bank has been shut down by regulators

    Don't worry, I'm sure the top officers and largest investors will come out ok. It's the little guys that'll take it in the ass, as usual.

    I wonder how many will appreciate their commitment to their (lefty freaks) principles, when it's your business burning or your family being assaulted for the crime of driving past their "protest".

    Can't really call them brave, when they're doing it with the blessing of the deep state, and knowing there will be little to no consequences for their actions. Not to mention the fact that they have no life outside of mommy's basement. I think the vast majority of conservatives have jobs...
