Cleaning Carbon ring / barrel with Thorolean - Some Questions

I used some Balistol to soak the ring a little and scrubbed with a soft Nylon brush. Waiting on some C4 to come in.. Getting there I think.

MIke
For my rimfires and centerfires that need it I soak an oversized bore mop in c4 and push it into the chamber as far as I can and let it sit for 15-30 min then brush with a nylon brush and if that fails I repeat the process with a brass brush (seldom needed).

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

This is devastating news, and IDK what to say. My prayers for the family of Charlie Kirk.

My guess is we will see a high profile liberal getting shot or killed soon. This is how the puppet masters will start some kind of SHTF. Just my 2 cents. Hope I’m wrong. But something bigger is coming, may God keep you all safe as we move forward in the days and weeks ahead.

Hunting & Fishing Cayuga" Hunting Bullets

Today I ran the Cayuga 151s in the 7PRC (22" Proof 1:8 barrel) , with a now functioning CED M2 Chrony. Because I haven't shot any solids this light in the 7PRC, I started with N565 at 70gr. Wasted some projectiles on the low end, but hey, it's all shootin' fun. Got to it late because I had to get a hay field tedded, so I had the sun in my eyes on my range.

I started with a COAL of 3.1900" I suspect more jump would improve things. I used WRE LR primers. FYI, they are tight in even 5x fired Peterson pockets! I'll try magnum primers of different flavors later.
The numbers:
70gr. - 2894fps
70.5 - 2935
71 - 2943
71.5 - 2949
72 - 2970
72.5 - 3009
72.8 - 3021

The group measured 1.20" at 100yds, and shots 5 & 6 are close. #7 went flying. Those charge weights - 71.5-72gr. - may call for more experimentation, although I'd like to get more velocity. I can probably push it to 73.5 gr. and see how they fall in the group. I'm not leaving any N565 on the table, so it's not too slow. If not, I'll switch to a slightly faster powder such as H4831sc. Tomorrow I have to bale, so iffen I don't get out and shoot before I rake, I'll shoot Friday.

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

He was most certainly not reaching for his own wound.
The hands coming up is not uncommon in head and neck shots. He was instantly lights out.
Just how many of those have you seen?
I was a combat medic in an Infantry unit, and Recon team, a Paramedic and spent 25 years as an Emergency Medicine PA.
Entry wounds of the neck are a large part of my personal journal, and the vast majority of wounds I treated in combat were above the nipple line. Many head and neck woulds I actually witnessed at the moment of occurrence. Way too many. A Shau Valley, 1968/69.
Go back to your lathe.

Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

Have they got the murderer yet?

Where is the heads rolling and massive investigations into Trump’s own attempted assassinations.

If that wasn’t enough, what ever will be!
Trump's already investigating the culprit.

The murderer will be presented when the spin doctors get their story strait, not sooner

This.

And everyone stay frosty… we’re living in perilous times. We keep thinking this is just a debate for one side to win, and everyone shakes hands afterwards and goes home.

The other side(s)…Leftists, Islamists, Race-baiting maniacs, etc. …are in it to win at any cost, and taking you out is the preferred mechanism to achieve their very publicly-stated goals.

Keep your head on a swivel…always.
