    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    A polonium and an adjustable gas block is half the cost of a “flow through” can. It’s what I have and am fine with it.

    Karma Shooter, Looking at our Body Position

    To be fair, it’s for an entirely different discipline that anything the are discussing here. Iron sights were the primary sighting consideration, scopes on blocks were secondary which is why the butt to bore has such an offset. Used to be you would hook the butt under one arm and shoot...

    Cleaning for Carbon

    Both. Clean the dirty chamber so that crap isn’t built up on the case mouth pinching it. Clean the dirty throat where carbon has accumulated and is scratching against the bullet.

    Quality BB gun?

    I really enjoyed reading that. I don’t remember a specific day like that but I got my red Ryder bb for a birthday, a year or two later for the daisy pellet pump on Christmas or a birthday, a year or two later was the marlin22. I do remember my cousins having tons of the little 100 pack sacks...

    New to PRS – RPR vs. Tikka T3X – Looking for Experienced Insight

    I disagree, I have a 16" remage marksman profile and in my bravo (silencer, spigot, aluminum forend w/ arca built in) and it balances alright.

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    What about the pma expander? It is a traditional expander like you describe, only it’s purposefully thin top and bottom. Yeah the argument is the down stroke still does most of the interfacing with the brass but still. Don’t get me wrong, I still use the traditional mandrel sets myself...

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    Explain. Just the compression vs tension via direction that they travel? Or do you have a new definition of what a mandrel is?

    You haven’t actually looked at how the sac mandrel works, have you?

    Other good deal besides MPA builds

    Not sure on that technicality, I edited while you replied. I dont think its required that it has to go back.

    Other good deal besides MPA builds

    If one is trying to stay in the production class of prs competition then it needs to have a "factory" barrel on it. I imagine they should be able to ship that factory barrel to your door though, shouldn't need to have the action returned to them for that. Otherwise, sure, get it from anywhere...

    Quality BB gun?

    Daisy powerline 880 is the only answer. Better than a red ryder but its cheap enough that he can take it apart etc for science and experimenting. Its plastic... but I still have mine 30 years later. Pumping it once is super soft, 10 pumps will take down a whitewing. Bam, instant ballistics...

    Quick Question on the Zermatt Origin + Trigger Tech combo

    That was fixed a handful of years ago. They come with less cock on close by default now with both bix and tt. Edit: I believe the old one had something on the order of .035 cock on close, my original with the replacement pin and two others since now come out to damn near 0, too little to...

    6gt ARC CDG and light primer strikes

    Before the half thousands increments and people mandreling the neck for seating bullets, people used a turning arbor and expanding mandrel for neck turning only. Turning arbor =.002 below bullet diameter, expander mandrel =.001 below bullet diameter. That was the old convention at least. I go...

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

    6gt ARC CDG and light primer strikes

    21st is 50 for the die body and ring and 24 for a stainless mandrel. You don’t need the full suite of sizes in half thou increments. Just get one turning arbor per caliber, it’ll do nicely. Some brass benefits more than others, sorta just luck of the draw. But a mandrel will put it all closer...

    Varget in 6mm GT (sorry so fabulous i forgot to add which 6)

    You can see if it’s dirty or not and the effect your cleaning regimen is having. To what degree it has to be sparkling clean is a different matter. Make sure you don’t have something that looks like it burned on the bottom of an oven in your throat and you’re good.

    Varget in 6mm GT (sorry so fabulous i forgot to add which 6)

    I find varget cleaner than h4350 myself. Just clean more/better period, whatever the powder. Invest in a bore scope and look at it over time. See what’s actually happening.

    6gt ARC CDG and light primer strikes

    It’s because they didnt make 50-60k psi blowing up to force the material back against the bolt face. You just have a little dimple from the firing pin. The fired brass being shorter is normal, it will fill the chamber better in subsequent firings. It’s not just getting bigger length wise, it’s...
