They both should perform the same. This has been addressed several times in the forums.
basically the CM has a load cell that has a wider range (part of higher cost) as well as overall features. The lite has a small
window for measurements (part of cost reduction) as well as the apparent...
That's fine to start at mag length minus 20'thousandths or so which will allow you room to chase the lands later. Stay at mag length minus 20 and run a powder charge test. You should find something good and not wed to adjust seat depth
You started too high hoping to run into a high node. Start 2 grains lower for each and work up.
you also didn't state your seat depth or jump distance. Needs to be fixed and as long as possible so when you do seat depth tests you just seat deeper.
4064 and varget are both great powders...
The rust that happens quickly is called flash rust. Like others have said, need to put some type of lubricant on them.
Wd40 with the stream/spray option works really well.
You can try corrosion X (expensive stuff) depending on needs.
You're certainly not wrong for trying or going that route but I doubt you'll get much data from others about it
just because varget works extremely well with a 308 doesn't mean I'm gonna put it in an ultra mag. It can be done but are there better powder choices? Yes.
on the flip side it's...
It's really up to you. I'd verify over a chrono or another means to get MV but you don't HAVE to use 4350 just like you don't HAVE to use varget.
as long as you get good results ; I think you can do a little better than 35 grains though
Couple checks:
buy two separate brands of match ammo and shoot a 5 shot group. See if the problem persists. If so then you most likely have a mechanical issue.
If not then you have ammo issues.
Mechanical issues:
bad scope :you're already addressing it so that's that. Check tracking and...
The best bet for you in recoil reduction would be to add a muzzle brake.
LRI (longrifles inc) for example has some extremely fast turn arounds.
If you go lighter pills it'll help but again not by much. You're also going to maybe make up in velocity (based of you not wanting to shoot reduced...
@ roerjager's article, that was on team area 419's FB post from their own testing.
I commented on it and got a response... but the short version of it is they used two different powder charges for the two powders.
basic physics and understanding of gas laws should show that there will be...
Thanks for sharing this stryker wouldn't have known about it.
if this happens again and it's in the fort Campbell area, I will be down to help set up distribution. There was just a lacknof interest in the group this time, assuming it was a first time
for a lot including me.
Let's keep in perspective in the tech:performance ratio.
To have a control, prs shooters would not be in the results due to the nature of the discipline. Would have to focus on benchrest.
plenty of records have been broken and amazing groups down range achieved with just a simple RCBS press...
I'm not sure what the true value is and it doesn't seem
like enough is interested. and I don't think anyone's gonna post the amount they want and how much they'll pay.
This is already too much for one individual to buy. But I'll say again, IF there is truly an interest in this and I can break...
I'm stationed at fort campbell which is where the auction is around. If there is genuinely an interest will assist in breaking it apart and shipping out.
