Bottom line:
I might chamber a barrel in this way for myself or a friend that KNEW what he was doing at the loading bench. However, can we agree it would be UNCOOL to sell a rifle as a 308, when it is actually a 308BI??? </div></div>
Heh, I like that. 308BI.
Glad someone else gets it. The OP is asking about building himself a rifle as I understand it so I don't see any issue.
Clark, very good point. I deleted my post previous noting the faulty reasoning in Whirlwind's post.
Mr. Whirlwind- I suggest you take a hard look at your example as it only serves to support my position even more and demonstrate that strict adherence to a gauge is not necessarily safer.
From the 'new generation' to the 'stuck in their ways and aren't willing to think instead of just lather/rinse/repeat'...
Good night. </div></div>
Guess about the only thing I get from your comments is you have issues with my suggesting you NOT recommend using anything other than the correct and safe tools when posting on the net!
The only "example" I was trying to make was to NOT recommend using a "piece of brass" as a measuring device, don't have a clue what you took from my posts but that was my ONLY intent, PERIOD!
Not once did I "SUPPORT" your position! I guess than insinuating that being safe is "stuck in their ways and aren't willing to think" than I will submit and say your way is best but only to keep your ego intact and to hell with safety! Apparently being "stuck in their ways" when it comes to the only safe way bothers you? You apparently are of the 'new generation' whom have issues with admitting that you may be incorrect or blantantly wrong, pretty common attitude around here anymore!
You are free to do whatever the hell you wish with your own shit but that don't make it right to recommend others do unsafe shit to save a few bucks. Now once again I am done with this BS, whinning and ego shit!!!! One day I will be smart enough like some of the other old bastards and just no longer log in or post here, seems everyone knows everything anyways!
Not gonna argue with someone on the net and definetly not with someone whos ego won't allow them to admit fault. Done with this deal! </div></div>
I'll spell this out clearly and 1 last time.
Your example of using an undersized piece of brass that is an anomaly supports my argument. Your arguments are so flawed and your understanding is backwards that you can't make the connection that you're actually providing hypothetical summations that debase your argument.
Here it is, plain and simple.
You don't understand the geometry in question like you think you do.
</div></div>
Utterly amazing how some think their knowledge and intelligence is far superior to a stranger they have never met and base their opinion on a couple of miscomprehended sentences!!!! I think the word narcassist comes to mind, it isn't my fault I don't understand the point the other guy was/is trying to make, that being safety!!! I don't give a rats ass how well a rifle shoots being headspaced with a "new piece of brass", that was not the point in my comments. Holy shit, nothing like trying to justify a safety concern with an accuracy arguement! Like I said I am done, tain't nothing I have said that will absorb or soak into those who think they are right and too much ego to admit otherwise. The hilarious part is the 'IT SHOOTS IN THE TWO'S SO IT CAN'T BE BAD'!!! So sad it is actually humorous! I give up, too old and stupid to try and communicate with the younger knowitalls!
Another Holy Shit, my reference to undersize brass was ONLY to convey the potential for a way undersize chamber because a piece of brass was far undersized. If no way to measure accurately new brass how the hell do you know where you are?? I was making a point against your intelligent arguement of brass 'always' being within a few thousandths. That is flat BULLSHIT. I have loaded over 90K rounds in 35+yrs of reloading and have somewhat of an idea of brass variance. To think I fell off the damn turnip truck yesterday is pretty damn nieve on your part fella!!!
Edit to add..You claim I don't understand geometry bohem but I don't recall seeing a geometry question, perhaps in your mind, and I don't read that, too much static!
Too state "I have done a dozen and had no issues" is truely a safe and intelligent arguement?? Just because nothing has happened to you don't make it right and don't make it 100% safe! If you are willing to read what I wrote and comprehend it I DID NOT say anywhere it WAS unsafe, I said it could be unsafe if sold to someone else that doesn't understand proper brass sizing on a chamber that 'could' have questionable tolerances. However, you are looking to argue to justify your comments and proudly advertised practices so the 'you aren't seeing the trees because of the forest' statement applies!!
Done trying to make a point with someone who only wants an arguement in an attempt to have the masses think he is soooo much smarter than the 'old guy'!! I think reading comprehension is perhaps not only short on one end as you proudly imply!
