Expander ball resistance

On my hornady dies, using lapua 6.5 brass, I feel like im getting more resistance than I should when the expander ball is going in and leaving the case.

I got a set of my matchmaster dies and pulled that titanium coated expander ball off and put it on the hornady die and got the same result....

Got my 22 arc custom hornady dies and sized some hornady brass.... much smoother.

What should I be looking at here? Doesnt seem to be the expander ball when 2 of them give the same feeling.

Mostly-peaceful left sets up site to target Tesla Owners...


So not only does it target them and organizes violence against dealers and owners... it has a "Molotov Cocktail" icon to encourage arson and attacks.

Tesla owners were the darlings of the left until just a few weeks ago. Saving the planet and all that...

But someone took away their Twitter... and now is cutting their funding. So the answer? No... don't come up with better ideas or better political messages... nope, turn into domestic terrorists.

Bondi and Patel have said Tesla attackers will be treated as domestic terrorists. So let's see these idiot start to go to jail and if they cause injuries or deaths, they can ride the needle.

They are unhinged and unleashed! And life means nothing to them because they now think Tesla Owners are committing genocide...

Heads on a swivel, folks. They won't stop with Tesla owners! And when their molotov bombings don't work out.... they'll go after something new. With just as much violence. Churches? Elks clubs? Schools (as usual). Your restaurants that serve that meat (which is murder, after all). These folks are unhinged. And are being turned loose on America.

Optics SPF - S&B PMII 5-25 DTii MTC CCW H59 (price dropped)

Amazing scope that is flawless and has tracked to 1250yds on my ATX. Just swapping over to a T3 so it is consistent with all of my other scopes. Will include the Vortex bubble level.

The scope glass is flawless but the parallax and windage turrets have a few marks from the safe (see 3rd pic). It is currently on my ATX.

The Badger rings and diving board are not for sale, BUT I will sell the NF Magmount Compact 0MOA with the RAPi bridge I have so you can rock and roll. The mount is on the Origin in the pictures and looks brand new.

Updated post for better pics.

$2200 for just the scope, shipped and insured.

$2500 with the NF mount and bridge (will not sell this separately).

Prosecutor and lead detective fired in most botched murder trial maybe of all time


There were several threads about the Karen Read trial while it was going on - evidence tampering , police changing statements - a star witness for the prosecution charged with perjury, lead detective on the case a known liar - sending sexual messages about the defendant, talking about the trial with witnesses- NONE of whom actually saw the event. Crime lab leaving food in the vehicle- and letting people mess with the car after it was in evidence- even trying to replace a part to make the story fit- head light I believe.
Prosecutor coaching testimony and suppressing evidence.

So no one disputed that a dirty cop was run over - Karen Read may even have been involved- BUT police changed their reports to say - “Karen Read started screaming what have I done” when she heard her husband was dead - and on the stand had to admit that on one actually heard her say anything close to that .

The type of complete shit show banana republic keystone court we’ve come to expect .
So if she actually did kill her husband- which the state presented 0 evidence of - she walked free because of evidence tampering and complete incompetence.
And if she didn’t do it there is a Boston State Trooper got murdered in front of his house and no one is looking for who done it

Accessories Breitling Chronomat 32

I am looking to sell my wife's Breitling Chronomat. The specific model number is A77310101K1A1. It is a Chronomat 32 with Pink Dial with diamonds in hour markers.

I purchased this watch in November 2021 for $4,500. It has a 5 year warranty.

$2,750 shipped. Might be open to trades.

The watch is in excellent condition. There are only a few very faint marks on the bottom of the bracelet. I have all the original packaging, paperwork and warranty cards.

I will attach more pictures in the next day or so.

Reloading Die choice

I haven’t bought rifle dies in quite sometime. I have primarily Redding but also use Forester seaters in some calibers. I’m going to start loading 6 Dasher here shortly, and need to buy dies. How much better are dies like SAC, Bullet Central, or Whidden? I like the concept behind the SAC neck shoulder sizing die, but wondering if the bullet seater is worth the cost. Do you bushing/FL/ mandrel all in one, break it up? If I were to try another seater other than the Forester what is a good direction? I can load on a Dillion 550, Rockchucker, or a Harrels precision turret press. Thanks.

Long Range Supply

Last November I decided to to get a March Majesta 10-80 scope with the F-Class reticle. These seem to only be available on a build-to-order basis, stretching out to 12+ weeks. Long Range Supply offered it at a good price but with payment in full upfront. Given the hustle & lack of capitalization in this industry, this requirement created some trepidation on my part but after a couple conversations with Don Carter at LRS I went ahead. Long story short: Don is a professional, by which I mean he does what he says he will do & does it when he says he will do it. He is a good communicator; I have my scope and recommend LRS to anyone considering purchasing from them.

SEMIAUTOS - SHOULDERS GETTING BUMPED UPON CHAMBERING


Haven’t really seen much discussion on this topic elsewhere.

In a 5.56x45mm AR, letting the bolt fly loose onto a round can set the shoulders back by as much as 0.004” to 0.005”, depending on the make of brass (Federal GMM and Bulk .223 Remington in those 300 round boxes - they’re soft!).

In effect, if I had insufficiently headspaced brass at, say +0.004”, and release the bolt onto a chamber with headspace measured at +0.001” - the brass (empty OR loaded) will, more often than not, still chamber.

IMG_1648.jpeg
IMG_1649.jpeg


Note: Relative measurements were obtained using Forster Case Gauges and an L. E. Wilson Case Gauge Depth Micrometer. For example, Case Gauge 1.4636 allows the bolt to close with light finger pressure sans ejector. This Case Gauge measures at exactly 0.000” using a Headspace Gauge and the Micrometer pictured above. All sized brass is made to approximate the same headspace of 0.000” +/- 0.002”.

Since I know the exact headspace of my chamber - and that the act of chabering a round also bumps the shoulders fairly effectively - why not FLS and headspace brass to match the chamber’s headspace as close as possible, instead of following the usual recommendation of -0.003” to -0.005” less than that of a fired case (and we know how insufficient those values can be with overgassed rifles)?

At the moment, my brass matches the headspace of my chamber by +/- 0.002”, and I haven’t had any reliability or accuracy issues over the last 420 rounds (this AR is a range toy). I’ll only have to worry about “squishspacing” the oversized 0.002”, not the undersized half.

Any negatives to this approach?
