Sour Dough Balistics

Bread flour burn chart?

No but I have beat gold medal bread flour and Kroger unbleached ap flour into the ground.

Time to try King Arthur brand for both.

I had been running 60 - 65 % water, that's all the GM and K flours would hold and it was messy at that rate.

I'm making a couple sandwich loaves with KA bread flour and some Kroger ap 50 / 50 % to use up the ap instead of toss it.

Consensus is that KA bread flour will do good at 75% and the K brand at 65% max so I decided 70% was gtg.

I wanted to cold proof 14 hours so My wife picked up a couple of aluminum pans.

They worked but still looking for plastic just the right size. Maybe I should invest in some bannetons?

I see videos on YouTube all the time and people have some expensive cast iron bread pan sets.

Invariably they are too stupid to wipe them down with ordinary cooking oil, let alone season them.
They have rust inside and out of 300 - 400$ pans. To top it off they buy silicone mats and use parchment paper all the time.

LMAO at them.
This is what a pan looks like when ready and the other may still be gtg but will get a very thin wipe of oil as well.

The only time something partially stuck was because of being full of olives, garlic and sundried tomato.

The bread falls out of the pans and Dutch oven, wipe off with a cloth and put the pan up.

Cooking pre seasons the pan each time.

If any of you new guys have come accross " bakers percentages " you should read up on it.

It is the basic language of bread makers every where.

More violence and illegal arrest of a female , on her own property not breaking any law .

Well so far we have had mentioned standards and training and ego as the problem.
Kidnapping someone for looking at you is not a training or ego problem.
Beg to differ. He ‘s trained to control the situation. He didn’t. Not at all.


Then on top of that he got butthurt that she didn’t do what he said, leading him to break the law and treat two innocent people like crooks because he didn’t know how to be humble.

Simple human nature. He screwed up royally due to his ego and overconfidence.

If that’s not it in a nutshell please enlighten us ……while you tell us who touched you.

Light- short 6GT

I just browsed the 6gt Facebook group, but there are some guys running the low 2800s node from 16-17" barrels. Alpha brass is very resistant to bolt lift but you really gotta look at primers for pressure signs with alpha ocd brass. They'll tell way sooner than bolt lift.

Supposedly sierra is doing a run of the 95tmk in next couple months(they've been saying this since Jan) and that bullet kills very well. You'll be able to get 200fps more than a 108gr as the bearing is very short. They'd do the trick to 600y I'm sure.

I trust guys boasting about their speed data on the internet like I trust gas station sushi. However, thanks for letting me know about the 6GT FB page... I'm going to go and check it out.

I think that a 95gt TMK would be pretty sweet out of a GT as well if Sierra actually brings one to market. I farted around with a 95gr NBT in my GT, just to see how it would do, and I got in the 3,050 range out of a 27" barrel and ~.6 MOA. I don't remember the exact velocity, but I think I posted it in the 6GT load data page in the reloading subsection. I was actually going to post about the 95gr NBT for this guy's build until I saw your mentioning of the 95gr TMK.

******

OP: I'd definitely be looking at lighter bullets (<100gr) for this shorter barrel as I'm assuming the hunting ranges would be less too. Stuff like the 90gr ELD-X, 95gr Berger, 95gr NBT, or 95gr LRX ought to get you to 400 yards still with pretty good efficiency in killing.

Surefire ICAR

Hmmm. Just got an alert that the blem C-6.8 lowers are available, and only $43. But the uppers don't exist anywhere, even the product page is 404 on NFA's website.

Edit: nvm I didn't read the page correctly, their G4 G2 uppers work for both 6.8 pattern and 5.56, and are the replacement for the dedicated C-6.8 uppers.

This cross compatibility with standard lowers is how PSA should do their ARC uppers if at all possible, but the last time I asked either on YT or in the industry section that wasn't the plan.

Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

The 165gr Nosler BT out of a .308 was my "go-to" deer bullet for several years. I still have zero complaints about it. It went 9 for 9 on whitetails, and four of those were hard angle spine shots. It comes apart for sure, but I usually got an exit from the core at least.

*******

If pigs are on the menu, I've only killed - a lot - with an 18" .308. Pick a cheap 150gr soft point or SST and put it where it needs to be. However, I've had fantastic results with the 165gr and 180gr soft points too... but my sample size is limited to about a dozen hogs each... not exactly enough for me to be 100% confident in.

********

Really, a lot of overthinking is going into this (and I'm guilty of that too on multiple occasions). Any .308 or 6.5 CM, or even 6.5 Grendel based case with an appropriately selected bullet - put into the correct place on an animal - will kill with efficiency. Most of us like arguing though for the sake of it and your choice is obviously inferior to theirs because they spend more time on the forums... beating their peckers and eating cheetos in between schooling us on ballistics... and then they wonder why they have an orange dick.
