Shouldn't take "significantly" more pressure. Check your bushing fitment and possible barrel alignment. HSS reamers will try and flex to follow misalignment. You said you had good chips......but you may have ran into some work hardening. Did the barrel feel warm?

Lots of real estate on 338lm.......I cut rpm down to about 80.

I think your experience is coming from something other than the barrel material.

Looking for an LRF with onboard ballistics. I will eventually get a Kestrel 5700 Elite so I'm leaning towards a compatible unit.

Curious to know if the onboard ballistics of the LRFs are worth a damn until I get the Kestrel. I currently use a combination of Strelok and GeoBallistics. As for my use case, I plan to stretch target shooting out to 1,200 yards and hunting out to 500 yards.

PG&E(assume with Oregon city) took a 15 billion dollar loan from .gov this year according to google.

and while you’re busy building a boat for the communist to sail over here and enslave you, we’re building something to keep you away from us.

Can I just like the bacon lube, without getting into whatever you guys are doing to each other with it?

Ok set the die down more at the point i have to put a some force to get it to cam over. Is this the golden standard or is it different from manufacturer to manufacturer.

What was the result from doing that?

Camming over is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it's not putting too much strain on the press's linkage. . . which will depend on the particular press being used. For my Forster Co-Ax, I have it set with just a little cam-over to the hard stop for consistency.

Not really a “rifle for home defense” guy, except where you live on a farm like I do. A PCC with a can? Yep. A rifle, almost always too much of a good thing.

That said, if shotguns and handguns are off the table, a 300 HAMR or Blackout with a can would be hard to beat, imho.

Or a 5.56 pistol with a can.

The can makes rifles indoors doable. Otherwise, most people are not prepared for just how loud a rifle is when fired indoors.

At least that’s my experience.

MP5 or B&T APC9 or GHM 9 with a can and subs is ridiculous, even indoors. Such a pleasure to shoot.

There's currently 74 people who are participating in the Christmas gift thread, so there's a roughly 45% chance of winning one of the 33 gifts! That's extremely impressive odds of winning a gift. As much as I'd like to see you guys have the best odds possible, I'd also like to see more people participate and have a chance to win a gift. If anyone wants to post a thread in the Bear Pit section with direct links to these 2 Christmas gift threads, please feel free to do so. I spend the vast majority of my time in this Vintage Section, so the gifts and the threads being located here reflect that. I'll leave it up to you guys if you want to post a thread or 2 elsewhere on this forum that lenks directly to these 2 Christmas gift threads.

For every page of entries in the other Christmas gift thread, I'll donate $100 to the Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation (MSSHF) and the donation will be from everyone here on this gorum who has participated in the Christmas gift thread. We're at 2 pages right now, so at minimum I'm going to donate $200 to the MSSHF when this giveaway ends tomorrow night. The more forum members that make a post in the Christmas gift thread, more pages will be added to the thread and my donation to the MSSHF will increase by $100 for each new page!

I know that having the thread open for only a few days during the Christmas holiday isn't ideal and a lot of people probably won't even see these threads until after the holiday, but I just wanted to make this Christmas gift thread special and have it actually be open during Christmas. So, I'm sorry to everyone who sees these threads too late, and hopefully more people will see these gift threads as they're relaxing tomorrow.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA DECEMBER 12, 2024

On the 162nd anniversary of the beginning of the incredibly bloody Battle of Fredericksburg during the War Between The States, a major lawsuit filed to the US Federal Court by Georgia US Armed Forces veterans, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and many others gain astounding momentum to restore Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby's name to the National Ranger Hall of Fame. Hailing from Powhatan County, Virginia, Colonel Mosby would become one of the most distinguished Confederate cavalry commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia during the Civil War, earning the nickname the "Gray Ghost" for his ability to conduct devastating lightning raids on Union supply columns, encircling entire divisions and cutting them off from supplies and communications, and vanishing back into the countryside. Mosby's regiment of elite riders were also sharpshooters, able to make consistent hits at extended range with revolver and carbine while at full gallop. Mosby's doctrine of light cavalry tactics would be translated directly into modern armored warfare by General George S. Patton during World War II, who accredits Mosby with being one of his chief mentors at the beginning of his own legendary military career.

In 1992, Colonel John Mosby was among the first group of Rangers to be inducted into the National Ranger Hall of Fame. However in 2023, the garrison commander of Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), took it upon himself to remove the names of Mosby along with other Confederate commanders from the Memorial. The proceedings are ongoing at this moment.

Take a moment to think about the people in your life who you are willing to risk all to protect. That is why men who wore both blue and gray fought and marched, starved and froze, suffered and endured, and many gave all during the arduous years of 1861-1865. Even more so for the Confederate side because they were legitimately protecting their homes and the places where they and their sweethearts fell in love, from an invasion. The places where they struggled are etched permanently in stone now.

Absolute and complete horseshit. Very first power station in Oregon was built in Oregon city without the help of any.gov employee. and just like our water, sanitation and fire suppression system in cascade Oregon. We didn’t need any of you.gov employees we built that despite the .govers that continue to try to shut us down.

I’ll have to check it out

I'll try to post a photo when I find one. This would be extremely easy for a gunsmith to do, then weld the rings to the base and make the channel cut in the front ring. No need to weld up and square off the corners of the mount, since the Corps did use 700SA scope bases on their transitional M40A1 welded scope mounts. These bases would be absolutely perfect for making a repro A1 welded mount with original Redfield parts. All people need are the windage screws (which can probably be found on ebay or elsewhere), and 1" diameter medium height 2 under screw scope rings.

I wish that I had these parts, and I feel bad about giving away an these incomplete scope bases. However, finding the exact same Redfield 700SA scope base that the Marines used can be extremely difficult. Instead of having to track down one of these rare scope bases, these bases are rhe next best thing and they only need the lightening cuts under the windage screws, which is very easy to do.

What do you guys think? Are these bases a decent gift, or should I have only put complete Redfield 700SA base/ring sets in the gift thread? Please let me know if this is acceptable or not very good.

I'll look through my gun room when I have time, maybe I have a set or 2 of the correct Redfield 1" scope rings tucked away somewhere. If I do have any sets of the correct scope rings, I'll include them with the scope bases and I'll update the Christmas gift thread with the new information. Hopefully I can dig out at least one set of correct Redfield scope rings for these old Redfield 700SA scope bases. If I can't find any rings and windage screws, I might just purchase some off ebay to complete these sets. I don't want to half-ass anything, so completing these base/ring sets would be much better than having them missing parts. I hope that everyone will accept my apologies with this, and I'll do what I can to complete these scope base/ring sets.

In the three barrels I’ve got some data on (a Bart 7.5, a Krieger 7.5, and Krieger 7 - all 26”), 35.5 ends up about 2820-2850 with a 109, for what it’s worth.

I ran the Bart up to 37.0, but best groups and velocity spreads were below that. But that was 2930 or so, I was targeting 2850, so lower made more sense for me.

@secondofangle2 I am so glad that I didn’t have the same issues that you experienced. I ordered my 140 last year and received it within two months. I mounted mine to an Inline Fabrication mount with the tall height spacer and it fit perfectly. The primer tube and cup just clear my bench. It’s tall AF but it fits and the hardware that came with the QD plate lined up.

I also purchased WTC dies for my 375 CT IMP and they threaded into the Prazi reducer like they were made by the same people. The shell holder also fits snugly but in a good way.

I didn’t realize you could mount on TOP of the bench. But that would kill my bum left shoulder

Received mine today and mounted it. Very impressed with the build quality and the glass seems really good. Gotta shoot with it though....soon I hope. But so far, not disappointed at all.

Youse guys are killing me. Yeah, I figured that @ggmanning was talking about the 1.5-15X42, but I always keep in mind that this is a public forum and so not everyone would know that. It's also one of the reasons why I always try to refer to a particular riflescope by magnificationXobjective_diameter. If the riflescope is a variable, I will give the range_of_magnificationXobjectve_diameter. This way people know exactly about which riflescope I am talking(writing) and get a feel for it without even seeing a picture. It also makes me look much more smartier than I am and sound errerudited.

The March-FX 1.5-15X42 especially the new one with the Shuriken turrets and the Dual Focal Plane reticle is quite the optics, but I still have the original model, the March 1.5-15X42 SFP on an AR. It's light, small and fun.

I have 2 of the new ones with the Shuriken locks. These things are amazing. I am going to se one though as I have no rifles left to put it on. Lol
