Re: Magnetospeed First Impressions I emailed them today and the response was 2 weeks till they ship as part of the package. This was supposed to respond to the when is the new buckle available.

Re: 7mm RSAUM powder burn rate choice Me neither on port size. I just took it apart and checked headspace, it is perfect. I pulled a few bullets and replaced them with 162 AMAX and 140 CT. The AMAX also was flat and cratered, the 140's were perfect. I loaded a single round with 4350 with...

I've been working on this platform for a year. Most of the issues are resolved except what seems like a over pressure load. I'm using RL19 and 175 MK's, quick load claims no pressure issue and I'm only running at 2809 f/s. Yet the primers are flat (CCI) and occasionally they are pierced. There...

Re: Threading Problem... As I understand it going in with the cross slide is fine depending on the lathe. If solid and powerful enough all is well.

Re: How to accurize an AR15 Thanks Robert, that is an excellent post!

Re: 7 SAUM Brass is prepped, parts on hand and reamer is on the way, I'll let you know how it works. Ross

Re: FN SPR Bolt issue I think I have it. There is a slight ridge a few degrees before where the detent and the firing pin align. I'll reshape the ramp right before the detent and polish the rest. Thanks again.

Re: FN SPR Bolt issue Thanks Phil, It was one of the CDNN actions, that's probably why CDNN had it. Can you think of any reason that smoothing it out would cause problems? Looks like the case is fully extracted and that the remaining 10 degrees just aligns the lugs. Am I missing anything...

Re: FN SPR Bolt issue I think we have a winner! It looks like a tool mark on the bolt cam, question is can I smooth it out without causing more problems? [/img]

Re: FN SPR Bolt issue Yes to the reloads, but a mild load. Maybe the timing is off. The case is fully extracted when the last few degrees of rotation get resistant. Next time you are by your rifle cycle the bolt and see if there is a noticeable change in torque for the last few degrees. On...

Re: FN SPR Bolt issue It has good clearance there, beside it has the resistance even with the extractor removed. I'll bet this is something really simple and I just can't find it.

My SPR seems to stick in the last few degrees of bolt lift. In other words just as the lugs are lining up to clear there is a bit of resistance. It is most noticeable after a round is fired, sometimes requiring quite a slap to finally open the bolt. I assumed it was the cams, but they are...

Re: Glass quality in high end scopes? Data? I've been holding my tongue a bit here. We (as a forum) have debated for years, sometimes with civility about the requirements for a high end scope. I think the conclusion usually ends up "it depends". There is no one perfect scope and there is no...

Re: Canted reticle in Vortex Razor I had a Razor with the click value not in spec. They did as all of you said and replaced the scope assuring me that I was mistaken and that there was no problem. I'm not going to argue and don't intend to get in a pissing contest about who was correct, but...

Re: Vector Optics = Garbage???? I set up an account with them at SHotShow and ordered a bunch of scopes and red-dots. I've been testing them since then. Frankly, the 10-40 and the 6-25 are not keepers. The 6-25 is not clear and after the 10-40's failed I abandoned them as a stock item...

Re: So, how does your scope ACTUALY adjust? I do almost the same. But since we are measuring the scope not the rifle I just use a large tape measure set at exactly 100yds, (wider is easier to see) and set the reticle at the exact top of the tape, dial 10 mil and see what it reads. This is...

Re: IOR Rundown I've had 3 or 4 of them. Might of been three but it was fixed twice. Starting 4 years ago, two different lines all failed except the last one which I promptly sold when returned as a NIB never mounted. The idea or great glass is/was great, the execution has failed in my mind...

Re: Armalite Super SASS does anyone shoot one in comp I love this reality stuff. 3/4 MOA seems right, it's consistent with reality and history. Thanks for being honest. Ross

Re: Evaluating Annealing Temperature I just read a suggestion of using molten lead to anneal the cases. It makes some sense since you can regulate the temp precisely and the contact will be symmetrical but it seems that the lead would stick. Oh, the old primers need to be left in as a gas...

Re: I found a new rangefinder at the SHOT... That would be me. I setup a contract with them at Shot Show and they are in the process of sending me a test unit or two. I will also represent the tactical practice center. Stay tuned, I have high hopes but intend to put it through a vast testing...
