Bullet jump on 5.56x45 when slammed into battery

As far as as the LCD the issue is springback. it occurs in the direction the metal was bent/shaped from. So the
case neck sized with the LCD tend to open in diameter with both short and long term setback. With a regular FLS or bushing die the case neck is made smaller than the mandrel or expander so that the neck tends to reduce in diameter due to springbuck. The degree to which all this occurs depends on both time and case neck hardness. Does it matter to performance? I don't know but I want more than 2 or 3 thousandths for my semi-autos.

No love for the 300 WSM?

Why not 300 PRC?
Too mainstream. Gotta do the WSM for science.

WSM with 215s/220s is easy to tune. It's similar to asking why not 6 Creedmoor with 112 Match Burners, when a BR/BRA with 105 Hybrids is easier to load for and get good accuracy. I shoot 130 Hybrids out of my 6.5x47 because they grouped better than the 140 hybrids. I might give up some performance at 800+ with the 130s, but if I know what they're doing downrange, it's worth the lower BC to me. It's also worth not having to work as hard at load development. My 6mm x47 took over 100 rounds to find a suitable group for, vs my 6 BRA taking none whatsoever.

The Bench Rest crowd has been using long loaded WSM for ages, but the tactical/hunting guys have always dismissed it as a short action cartridge. SAAMI spec WSM sucks, but I don't shoot with anyone who uses SAAMI cartridges anyways. Everyone's using a custom barrel based on custom reamers. Say what you will about the benchrest guys, but they're good at finding easy to load for cartridge designs, and rolling with them.

To me the advantage of PRC is shooting 230+ grain bullets, but at that point, why not Norma? Both the Norma and the WSM do what the PRC can do in the lower weights and higher weights, but arguably do it better.

If I were serious about the 1800+ stuff, I'd skip PRC and Norma altogether and get a 33XC or similar.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Just another mouth breather here, but I don’t buy scopes or suppressors if it doesn’t have a lifetime warranty. Seems stupid in this day and age to not offer lifetime warranty on something that pricy and it doesn’t give off much confidence in the product in my opinion.
You mean like a car or truck?

Feedback Scammer Alert - The Sheep Dog

Last time some stupid tire kicker did that I had to run around and get items and make a special photo for them and it wasted an hour of my time.
It's also pointless.

The actual way to do things is just simply ask for a quick video chat with the item and the seller.
Much easier, less time and a lot harder to fake.


This. The faster we adopt this approach collectively the better.

Just did this method last night ironically with a well established member with high feedback.

MST-100 Repro

Got my order in at 0700 East Coast time.

They threw a curve by adding an option for a repro scope mount. But look close, it’s just a CAD or whatever drawing. I’ll trust the mounts Frank was brokering.

Now we wait.

Good luck, all who want one,

i bought the mount, are you saying the purchase is just for a cad drawing? it damn sure better be an actual mount

Night Vision Pulsar thermion duo DXP50

I have a used but not abused pulsar thermion duo DXP50. This is the model that has thermal and a day mode if someone is unsure. I bought it new in January of 2024 so it still has plenty of warranty left I’m only selling because I never use it and could use the funds elsewhere. It comes with everything that originally came with it outside of the charger I misplaced that but it’s just your standard type c charger. Asking $4000 obo. Thanks

Knights Armament SR25 6.5 Creedmoor

How do you find the accuracy of the KA SR25s compared to same caliber bolt?
Generally a bolt gun is much easier to shoot. Large frame gasser is another animal to shoot well in my opinion. I mean my apc will shoot .5moa groups consistently but I don’t call it a .5 moa rifle. I’d call most of my bolt rifles legit .5 moa guns. But again much easier to shoot in my opinion.

DOGE finds Treasury Dept loses 1 Billion dollars a week to fraud and corruption: Deep State Judge blocks exposure

I wish they wouldn't tip their hand like that. Don't tell everyone that someone is going to get arrested.

The suspect(s) know who they are. If they here or see anything that says "someone" is going to be arrested, they will probably destroy the evidence, flee or do both.

Raid their home at 0300 hours just like the leftists have been doing to conservatives for years.

Drag their asses out in the front yard in their pajamas with handcuffs on in the cold weather and read them their rights before carting them off to jail.
