Hornady bullet comparator issue.
- By Kangbeef

Ok starting sorting bullets with the hornady bullet comparator. After watching tv I noticed my measurements were changing. I would got back to pile and they were all different. I had the anvil/bushing on lower caliper jaw then close they jaw till the base of the bullet touched the upper jaw. The spin the bullet till it sat flat on the jaw. So i guess its wearing it out being aluminum and be making rookie mistakes. Is this a common issue and keep going till it makes a nice seating spot. Its frustrating because all my piles are off. F@$K IT load them up to the max and send it lol.

US Judge Tosses Illinois' Ban On Semiautomatic Weapons, Governor Pledges Swift Appeal
- The Bear Pit
- 6 Replies
A federal judge on Friday overturned Illinois’ ban on semiautomatic weapons, leaning on recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that strictly interpret the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms.
U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn issued the lengthy finding in a decree that he said applied universally, not just to the plaintiffs who brought the lawsuit challenging the ban.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act, signed into law in January 2023 by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, took effect Jan. 1. It bans AR-15 rifles and similar guns, large-capacity magazines and a wide assortment of attachments largely in response to the 2022 Independence Day shooting at a parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
McGlynn’s order doesn’t take effect for 30 days.
"Sadly, there are those who seek to usher in a sort of post-Constitution era where the citizens’ individual rights are only as important as they are convenient to a ruling class," McGlynn, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term, wrote in his opinion. "The oft-quoted phrase that ‘no right is absolute’ does not mean that fundamental rights precariously subsist subject to the whims, caprice, or appetite of government officials or judges."

Rifle Scopes Blinded, Randomized scope testing
- By db2000

With all the vastly varying anecdotal reports of IQ between scopes, I think a blinded, randomized controlled trial of scopes would be very interesting. Because there’s some degree of objectivity and methodology in evaluating IQ, I think this could be very revealing.
Bias seems to be one of the greatest influences on individuals as far as I can tell. Whether conscious or subconscious, it can be hard to admit a $600 scope is optically close to a $4k scope.
Just like some people taste soap with cilantro or prefer different flavors than others, I believe vision is the same way. This may be obvious to some folks but it’s definitely not accepted main stream because people continue to argue to the point of insults (myself included
) over IQ of scopes. In contrast, most everyone is in agreement that scope features are subjective, so no need to try and examine that. The test could be standardized to be blinded. It would take some effort but certainly doable. A way to make diopter, magnification and parallax adjustments without fingering the scope. The trial would need to include a professional eye examination and history as well obviously.

Action won’t lock up on tenon shoulder
- By Jperk0278

Thanks to some of the great gunsmiths on here who’ve helped me along, I’ve so far completed 8 or 9 barreled actions for myself with great results.
However, I’ve got one in the lathe now that’s got a problem that I’ve been unable to figure out so hopefully, someone here has the answer.
This is a Defiance Deviant long action that measured .967 to the bolt face, so I cut the tenon to .962. The action threads onto the barrel beautifully until it gets close to the shoulder, where it binds up about 10 thousandths short when hand tightening. I’ve reduced the tenon length to .947 just to see if it would lock up, but it still binds up .010 short as shown in the pic.
This action initially locked up perfectly at .962, but I went too deep with the reamer and had to recut the tenon and now this is where I’m at.
Please advise what my next steps should be.
Thanks very much.
