Maggie’s What's Your View II
The scary part is over... Got everything apart with no drama. Hardinge HLV spindle. Original issue was a chewed up belt. The belt was chewed up because the main motor pulley was broken, but with the pulleys loose, the spindle was still kinda "clicky" which is never a good sign, so I popped the...- Ledzep

Does anyone stand with Berger?
I don't know if those questions are answerable in a way that I don't type a bunch of words that don't functionally say very much, sorry. I don't track production very often. I do spot checks and investigative tests, and I do a lot of R&D new product testing. Beyond that it's handed off to...- Ledzep

The one (gun) that got away
20mm Oerlikon with 1000 rounds of solid shot TP or AP ammo (can't remember), came in a crate with accessories and extra parts... $20,000 Was worth it for the ammo but I didn't have 20k sitting around, and the bank said no way.- Ledzep

L42A1 New Build
That's awesome! L42A1's and No.5 mk1's just have the 'right' look. (y) What's different between the .303 and 7.62? Bigger claw, longer ejector screw?- Ledzep

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?
The human factor (follow through, NPOA, etc.) becomes more important because of the design of the system. The development cycle for the rifle was to create the lightest weight reliable (safe) bullet hose possible with accuracy that is acceptable for infantrymen. What most people on this site...- Ledzep

Noveske 6ARC throat question
ETA: Never mind, you're hand loading.. Back story since it's still relevant; The 105 factory black ammo was originally released by mistake at 2.250" but had to be shortened to 2.20" to not interfere. Sounds normal. The ogive on the 80's, 108's, 110's, 103's, etc.. is longer and more...- Ledzep

Gas Gun Break In
Important to note that those hammer forged barrels would shoot other bullets (mostly cup and core) with acceptable accuracy, too. Even some softer monolithics, but the tolerance stack was right on the line such that our harder monolithic (Cx/GMX) would not spring back or swell back to...- Ledzep

Gas Gun Break In
Even copper alloys. We've had issues with the Cx/GMX line with hammer forged barrels because of the inconsistency along the length of bore/groove diameter from the forging process. It allows in-bore yaw and blow-by that a cup&core bullet will swell to eliminate. Once you've squeezed a copper...- Ledzep

Where to Measure Scope Over Bore
Another visual to think about. If you put a few prisms in the scope to offset a height, which one changes the effective height over bore? The objective or the turrets? It doesn't matter where the turrets are. You can artificially exaggerate the situation with higher turret, but you can...- Ledzep

Where to Measure Scope Over Bore
:) ETA: All small errors add up to bigger errors. Sometimes they cancel, some times they add. If you do your due diligence in mitigating/eliminating them you start seeing less and less random misses.- Ledzep

Where to Measure Scope Over Bore
The adjustments you make on the turret move the erector tube inside the scope. The erector tube is "looking at" the image that is collected by the objective lens. Your dope corrections are angular adjustments that pivot off of the pivot point of the erector tube (approximately, there is some...- Ledzep

Where to Measure Scope Over Bore
I've been asked this a few times over the years and a few months ago I realized that I have the perfect rifle to demonstrate this for the most accurate measurement possible. Last weekend I finally got it out and took some pictures and a video to prove the point. So where does one properly...- Ledzep

Hornady 76g a tip
Probably fine using 73-75gr data. Marketing handles the reloading handbook stuff and I'm not sure what they have for the 76gr if anything. If it's published it'll hit the app first, though.- Ledzep
