Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

How low can you set that master built?

I need low 120 - 140 f for sausage making.
It's only labeled to go down to 175. BUT, there's a range between off and that, so it might be possible, but I wouldn't count on it.

First brisket came out great! Ribs did too. I'll get some pics of the butts tomorrow.

Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

If you really want a 700, get one. And then after shooting it, tinkering and so on, report back. You'll eventually either send it to Tac OP's or GAP and love it upon return, or go down a rabbit hole chasing accuracy, consistency and parts and start wondering why you're throwing money at it.

If it was 2005 I would say get one, you'll love it out of the box. But 20 years later, I honestly cannot recommend one unless you're planning a full custom of some variety. And even then, the custom actions we have today open up more possibilities and long term cost savings.

All of that said, I understand having an itch for a new rifle and no matter what anyone tells you, nothing will scratch the itch until you throw down the cash and get it.

Most challenging racing series I was into was spec Miata. There were some ridiculous drivers and its was all about momentum. When I first started I couldn’t believe the speed dome of those guys carried through a turn.

I raced mostly dirt bikes like motocross, TT, half mile, but also some asphalt track stuff. I knew that Ricky Bobby feeling after a bad crash where your head was not back up to speed. When my head was right, speed seemed normal and fun, but I usually did not know if I was going to have a good day till it was on.

Shoots Hornady 88gr ELDM and 75gr ELDM Black Factory ammo very well, Suppressed and unsuppressed. Hates the 62gr ELD-VT

Only 40rds down the the barrel, the 88's look very promising. I'll put another 100rds down the barrel and update as the barrel breaks in.

I'll most likely start Load Development with the 75 ELD's, with TAC and XBR.

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

Random thoughts......first I'm often caught off guard how good groups for .223/.224 etc. measure when looking at them. I often shoot a group under 1 MOA and think it doesn't look very good just because of the "spread" that's allowed due to the small bullet until measured.
Same. I've shot a lot of groups where 3-4 of them look great and the 1-2 outliers make me think it's a trash group. Then I'm pleasantly surprised when it's still a .8" group.

I think 7 twist originally caught on because "mil-spec bro!" and then hung around because the general consensus is that faster twist is needed for heavier bullets and heavier bullets tend to be match bullets that are more accurate. So people took that to mean faster twist=better accuracy.
Obviously it's not quite that simple, but given how retarded most people on arfcom or reddit are it's no wonder that this stuff is so prevalent.

Not saying 7 twist is bad, but given the bullet weights you can fit in an AR mag in 223/5.56 I find 7 twist to have no advantages and potential for some disadvantages.

The Most Insidious Tracking Software on the Planet

Drum Roll.... It's Microsoft "Copilot". And it's included in every new Windows update. It fully tracks every fucking thing you do in all of your devices.

Why do you think that Microsoft needs you to DL/ install/ enable Copilot and agree to the EULA to harvest your data?

You already said that you're using their operating system- Windows.

Copilot grabs what info you give it- whether that means prompting it directly in chat or setting up an agent to go out and do other stuff with the data that you provide it.
