    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    One thing good came out of this. Had not talked with Mike R in years. Had a great talk with him today We discussed my next build with him. Lots of torque will be used!

    I hope that stuff just stays down. Cost me what I thought were friends. Mike R I have known for twenty plus years. Good honorable man Deathbeforedismount I have never met you but enough is enough. Please learn to treat people on net like they were looking you eye to eye and I guarantee if...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I don’t need a scientific study to tell me what to use. I know what has worked for me very successfully That does not mean I am not open to learning from people who do real testing and engineering for a living. The older I get the less I depend on seat of the pants only testing

    Well I think it depends on intended use. Bench Rest may get away with hand tight but field equipment won’t

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Best I can say is I have had better results with more torque. Hand tight has bit me in the ass. I do believe the answer is probably somewhere in the middle

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Dude, I held the F TR record at 800 yards for World Championships. I was member of two US National World Championship winning teams. I won dozens of National and World Championships medals and I already said I have seen both extreme torque and hand torque from smiths that built those rifles so...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Sir I can’t defend any of the listed torque value with anything 100 percent so we agree. Have had smiths use both extremes. Hand tight and several Hundred pounds. The hand tight cost me in huge match when it came loose under many rds. The several hundreds worked flawlessly for years. I am...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    So does anyone here that is a true engineer have a reliable way to check all this information We have shooters and rifle builders with beliefs but what is the science?

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Dude you really need to relax. Just because someone does not agree with you does not mean you have to attack I have been doing this a ton longer than most and have heard both arguments. All it has shown me is more than one way that do it. I prefer enough torque I don’t worry if it will...

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    The bolt gun will do better with the slower N540. It will probably get you plenty of speed. I am attempting to get load that works well in 14.5,16 and 20” AR’s. I think Tac or aa2520 will be best answer for my needs. 2900 plus for 20” and stretch the 14.5 another 100 yards

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Well I have one on order as soon as actually available. Been super excited about this. I will let everyone know what I think after I get to beat it up. Hopefully we can have one for November 9th Immokalee class I am teaching. Love letting students use things and get feedback back from them.

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    I am running 20” barrel and bought 1000 cases to load up. If I can’t get what I want 2900 plus fps with good accuracy from Tac I will try 2520 I was really hoping N540 would get me there but no luck.

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I talked with Mike R today and asked about the amount of force he uses in his rifles because I had one of his rifles and it never shifted poi cold or hot action, unlike many other bolt actions have He explained he uses way more torque than most and has his barrel lugs made of special steel that...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    In the 2013 F TR Worlds I had a smith who did not think you needed a lot of torque. After shooting several matches and team practices I was shooting at 1000 yards and could not get the rifle to group. Barrel had been tack driver and ammo was great. Pissed off after bad string I picked up...
