FIFY

Why yes I have

India proper is pretty racist against the far eastern Indians. Even had to put out a law the banned the use of the words "chinky" a while back. Still dont think India will receive this well. After they stop laughing.

Bangladesh is cuddling up to China, but there is a lot of money from the USG that goes to the B.

This is for NF match if anyone is confused.

For the Kestrel make sure you have good data on your rifle, after that let it collect enviro's. Take a good target heading, tell it the distance and then wind capture into the wind.

If you shoot every round at the match it's 150 rounds, plus what ever you plan to shoot in practice. I always take 200 but come home with lots since the targets are dead after impact.

I've attached the match book from last year, that being said the stages do change sometimes, even if it's just slightly so I'd either wait for the new COF or make sure you verify everything later.

I have a lot of experience with the BR series of rounds. And, I might say, not particularly fond of them. Dropped them in favor of the TCU cartridges in handgun silhouette. They worked, and were not a problem in single shot bolt handguns, but fat and lazy and shot out my elbow and destroyed targets.

How'd you hurt your elbow?

I used to use Contenders in 7TCU for Silhouette but if I had to do it over again I'd go for 6mmBR with a 7.5 twist/115's and a bolt pistol, or heck a easy neck up to 25/6mmBR.

Fortunately had no wrist or elbow problems.

Mine is an AICS cut version I bought back in early 2022.

It sounds like I am overthinking it. I had bugged Tate a year ago about it asking if I could get it cut and renitrided. Tate said they didn't offer a re-coating service but that they were looking into it.

Does the feed ramp get modified at all or is it just the clearancing around the front/perimeter of the magwell? If it is just the underside that is a bit less concerning.

A better question might be: are there any manufacturers publishing load data that isn't incredibly conservative?

Hogdon data is equally as weak as Sierras and VV load data is silly. Is there any published data that matches up better with real-world loads?

Na, the real question is why do dudes think they "read pressure signs" better than pressure testing equipment can measure it.

Anyone wanna trade for a left handed action? Really just trying to fund a rifle build for a kid.

Bump

Barbequed Deere anyone?

Ive been using Rubber City for many years and their bolts are also made of 9310 MPI batch inspected Shot peened.

I haven't broken any JP, Rubber City Armory or Young Manufacturing Bolts, but that doesn't mean much because I don't torture my Custom Precision builds.. Bartlein Barrels be spendy.

For my Custom Hard Use Carbines, like the SOLGW Broadsword / Geissele Chrome Lined Heavy Barrels Builds the Geissele Complete Enhanced BCG’S have been absolutel Rockstars.

Back to the Grendel/ARC's Bolts the YM HMB Bolt design is a pretty damn solid improvement over the traditional Mil-spec, I've also noticed less wear around the cam pin itself.

The only caveat that I will mention is that after the initial 150-200 round brake in cycle, unless I know the Bolts I'm using are using all SpringCo Springs and Gas Rings I replace them. It's a cheap/easy upgrade to any Bolt that I know for a fact will increase the reliability and longevity of the bolts performance.

2005 Cinco de Mayo was probably LIT.

Two years before the iPhone was ever invented. Cams and storage sucked.

You could get LOCO and not have to worry about slack jawed morons collecting evidence and recording and documenteing everything that happens everywhere.

Anyway....... what the hell does that have to do with life today? It's a beautiful day out.

...and why are there so many links in that message? Is this a Bad Bot?

They state that they used a 24” barrel.

The maximum chamber pressure for the 6mm Dasher cartridge is generally considered to be 65,000 psi (pounds per square inch). However, some sources mention 64,000 psi as the SAAMI maximum.

GR.: 107 gr
Bullet Type: HPBT (Sierra)Diameter: 0.243"
Powder: Varget (Hodgdon)
Primer: CCI BR4
Case: Lapua
Trim Length: 1.540"

C.O.L.: 2.360"
Starting Powder: 29.2 gr
Starting Velocity: 2,726
Starting Pressure: 42,900

Max Powder: 31.8 gr
Max Velocity: 2,916
Max Pressure: 51,900 CUP

No, I do not believe the majority of PRS guys shooting Dasher are over pressure.

Hodgdon data is for a 30" barrel.

No specific questions. Just wondering how many people on here shoot them. I'd love to come out. I take it you shoot them?

At a monthly there’s usually between 75-100 people on average. It doubles for a 2 day national match. I usually do, you’ll meet a ton of good people.

Nice troll. I suppose replying is a sign that I took the bait? Oh, wait a minute. This is the pit. Maybe you are just an ass hat?

Frank,
The other problem I see with the domino effect is risk, not only in the political arena but also in quality control. You also have to add people there to ensure the product remains the same consistency since a couple bad reviews can really put a crimp in the legacy you built.

You don't happen to have any 25mm or 40mm rifled barrels laying around do you

Click to expand...

Never tooled up for 25mm's. Never had a request for it etc...

40mm's we have done for ammunition test barrels. A one time request and have never run them since. It is also a totally pain in the butt but really cool looking at a 40mm cut away. 1-48 twist. 6 groove with a 1.606" bore x 1.626" groove if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure what independence they are celebrating given they have been taken over by the cartels.
