These 1100 ftlbs get hungry! Yes still Super Duty, feels so nice getting a half tank of Diesel.
Hey guys I’m looking for a little friendly gun guy advice if possible. Using new brass vs same lot 1x fired brass I am getting flat primers on the 1x fired with the same load as the new brass. Why would 1x fired be flat and new isn’t with the same formula? Anyone know why that is?
Just the facts ma’am:
- AI ASR
-6mm Creedmoor. (The Lord’s round)
-24 inch Proof CF barrel suppressed
-60 degrees F & 2500 FASL
-brass is Lapua SRP all the same lot.
-both new and 1x fired were sized using the same Whidden bushing die.
-105 Berger hybrid
-seated to 2.795 COAL
- charge is 40.00 of RL16 all the same lot and same bottle loaded at the same time.
- CCI 450 primer
-rounds fired the same day all in succession. 1x was fired first. I fired 10 to test speed vs my new brass speed.
-all brass new and 1x fired trimmed to 1.915
-new brass is 3030 FPS and 6 SD
-1x fired brass is 3047 FPS and 9 SD
-accuracy was identical
Photo = new brass on the right. 1x (now 2x fired) on the left.

How much are you resizing the brass?
I should have clarified, how much bump are you resizing?

Wait you want a light one or a replacement for the AT-X stock with our ACC Chassis? Very big distinction here!

That Knights NVG Bridge on the AW!
I’ve used plenty of Proof barrels with great success.
I use a guy right by the Ohio/Michigan border. Just cut me 2 GT barrels.
Name?
Finally able to get the AT-X out and broke in.
This. If it’s a caliber Proof makes I’m going with theirs. Their barrels hammer for me. That said, there is a limited number of calibers on prefit.
If it helps I got mine from sporting services UK. Last I looked all colours were in stock. Only took about a week and a half too. Cheers
Starting to remember why I don't shoot groups any more at 100yds. I suck 
Dude we had to invent an entirely new game cuz we all suck at that, haha!
Well, to paraphrase the Peter principal:
Through buying better shooting equipment, we all rise to group at our level of incompetence.
Edit: maybe better
Through buying better & better equipment, we all rise to our level of marksman incompetence.

I sometimes wish I had access to an indoor 100yd range…until the bro with the braked 10.5” AK shows up next to me spraying “groups” with a red dot at 8 yds (happened). He kept on fiddling with the red dot, trying to zero? it and then shooting five more, again and again. I left.
I feel this with my whole heart. I loathe people that come to an indoor range with braked magnums or braked AR/AK's. Indoor ranges should be suppressor only
Indoor ranges should be outside... And suppressor only.
PRS comps should be suppressor only. At least have suppressor only squads
Public ranges ? Eewww
Public ranges ? Eewww
Still have some finalizing to do, but she is coming along rather nice! Next on the list is a Luepold MK5.

I have been the only person at an outdoor range with over 20 lanes shooting suppressed and had two guys show up with braked hunting rifles set up on either side of me.
The local PRL matches around here have suppressor only squads for the most part. Kinda nice
I just got a 338 LM barrel for my AXMC. I think the next time it happens a caliber swap will be in order.
There's always a bigger fish.
Yes, we're a civilized nation, act like it, use a suppressor.
Shooting indoors intentionally is strange. Bringing your braked SBR or magnum is uncouth. Gentlemen shoot suppressed. I don’t even shoot at public ranges for this reason.
My father in law likes to go to the indoor range. I politely decline his invitation. Savages.

Only real reason I use hearing protection is because of other shooters.
Any supersonic round damages your hearing. Don’t be me.
Range where I shoot at is wide open with no sounds to reflect back on you. Makes a huge difference in sound levels. I have shot at other outdoor ranges where they have canopies and its way louder.
I hold two memberships for a reason. Chrono indoors, dope outside. Lol always suppressed tho
Perhaps he's referring to the "sonic crack", for which a suppressor does nothing ?!?
Well. I'm finally joining to cool club. I sent @AXMCdriver a check for his AX today. Got a 308 barrel coming and probably going to get a 6gt barrel spun up. Can't wait. I've only wanted an AI since I played battlefield 2 and had the L96a1. Here we are some 20 years later.
AI for life. It’s like something you don’t understand why it costs what it costs till you have one. Then it makes sense
