Different name, same old scammer.

I really wanted a Proof prefit in 6GT for my Solus but they're OOS everywhere I could find. I ended up with Criterion but would still love to try Proof next time.

@akmike47 takes up riding......

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll get my first couple hundred rounds made for this first and once the barrel is worked in I can determine if a single stage press as a secondary press would be beneficial.

I have 100 pieces srp alpha and rcbs matchmaster bushing die.

FWell that got my brain churning. The 308 woukd work ok for me. Wanting to push a 168 2750-2800 out of a 16". Maybe the 162 eld 2750-2800 would be cool in a 16" 7mm 08.

That's not very realistic out of a!

The limiting factor for cartridges is usually the strength of the brass which is why the pressure limit is around 62KPSI. Blowing primers are usually considered to be a load that is too hot, but you wont blow up the rifle. The stress on the action is still on the right side of the fatigue limit.

Using these hybrid cases with the stainless case head, inexperienced reloaders can load to unsafe pressures where the rifle can go boom without even knowing it. I do not know anyone that knows how to stay away from the line of finite life of the S-N curve. I don't even know at what pressure the fatigue limit is on my rifes and I have been reloading for 30 odd years.

Maybe an actual engineer can enlighten us?

I've got some hybrid cases delivered that I plan to play with. . . but I'm sure not going to see where the fatigue limit is on my firearm. I was reading an article about some of the testing the military was doing where they expected the pressure limit to be at 80k psi for the 277 Furry cartridge. But they actually tested them to failure at over 100k psi. It was pretty crazy numbers. And, like you mentioned, when I was reading this article, I was thinking about how foolish some people can be, especially those with limited knowledge and or experience. I don't plan to get anywhere near the 80k psi limit, but maybe approach 70k as I pressure test ladder to get a little feel for them in my .308 firearm.

If you already have the 550 and are comfortable it's operation, I'd say it'd be a relatively easy step up to a two tool-head 'hybrid mode on the 550. I really don't think that you'd be leaving much, if anything on the table as far as accuracy for the styles of shooting commonly discussed here.

There are a bunch of existing threads on the way(s) to accomplish that. It hasn't changed materially since the last half-dozen times the subject came up. Rather than re-hash the same info - again - I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader

Nothing to do with being repeatedly punched in the head?

This is one of several reasons I shoot factory ammo…

Also deciding between these two optics. Razor at 2700 and NF at 2500. Thoughts? Any ideas why the Razor fell off in PRS?

Both great Optically with a slight edge to the Razor, The NF paralax is quick and easy, also the NF is a little lighter. Not a fan of the Razor turrets, the NF is just better turret wise for me.

Not to throw a grenade in here but I think the Element Theos beats both those optics.

Sold!

Not my rifle, but I did coat it. How sweet is this with the RAL7005 6-36 PMII!

Damn this is hot. Gonna see if I can find a stencil like this...

My 6.5cm bolt gun has a SiCo break. I've shot it with the omega 300 and the flow 762 (just screwed the hub from the omega onto the hux) both group well. I can't realy hear which is quieter. (tinnitus) I ran the hux in a recent PRS and it was quiet enough that the shot timer had trouble registering shots. If the question was for a gas gun, then the hix or another flow through can 100%

.

If you can find RWS....

I run winchester for my gassers

and Hornady for bolt guns - yeah. But it works.

I save the Lapua and RWS I have on hand (about 800 of each) for when I mean business. Fortunately, I'm almost always in play mode these days

Guess which powder is which. One pile of powder is the residue left in the hybrid cases. The other is a common powder, not so hard to find. I am almost positive they are the same powder.

I think trying to build a match around having the leading-edge gear like triple/double pulls or high-end tripods outlawed is not the right approach.

Not to mention designing the match around making the employment of this type of gear unlikely, is next to impossible. Thats the point in itself of getting such gear that allows the shooter to turn a seeming extremely hard shooting position into a good chance of getting stable and high percentage of hitting a target.

Now, yes, it's real hard to make a match worth it to someone with some experience looking for a challenge but also entertaining to the newcomer. You need both to succeed.

Heres an idea, different target sets per stage for the different experience levels. It's a lot more work granted, but you re newer shooters will get 3-3.5 MOA targets and then you make a 2 to 3 set for the guys that have experience already. If im not mistaken the GAP Grind incorporates something similar? But i might be wrong.

You want the new guys coming back, getting better gear and improving and the more experienced guys coming back for the challenge. Also, within a year your new guys will be experienced, give them something to work for and stay.

"Gamer gear" is just good gear if its reliable. The whole gamer thing is made up.

Creedmoor Sports was sending out backordered Lapua 223 last week. So if you didn't get it then you are in for a long long wait.

I have been using Starline in my bolt guns. In my ARs they get whatever I pick up at the range.
