223 freebore - Factory ammo jump

Southpaw357
Question for the Hidemind,

I want to build a 223 trainer setup like my 6.5 CM - impact action in an MDT chassis with 28” MTU contour barrel.

My smith stocks 1-7 twist brux barrels and his 223 reamer’s freebore is somewhere in the 0.100 / 0.125 range (he has to confirm exact dimension with me).

The thing is, I will be shooting factory ammo for the forseeable future. So no rounds longer than SAAMI length at least for now.

Who has experience with this much jump and factory ammo? Am I shooting myself in the foot?

69 and 77 SMKs loaded by whomever are on the menu, and maybe some factory loaded bergers.

Thanks fellas.

Never in my life would I have ever believed that pump jacks would be a "tourist attraction."

If you're wanting a small one to set up to screw with your neighbors... There are lots of them sitting in dealers yards around here. Might be able to find one pretty cheap.

Baker Hughes is one of our customers. If you think the "nodding donkeys" are cool, you should see one of their down-hole pumps in action... A pump jack will trickle oil out at a rate of a handful of barrels per day... Some of the BH pumps will lift some crazy amount... Like 40,000 a day.

How they are able to engineer sending an electric pump down an 18,000 foot bore WITH the power cable attached is beyond me... But they have a host of eggheads that have it figured out.

People that don’t know think you just pump oil out of the ground with a submersible or a jack and its all good. It ain’t so. The recharge rate of the oil is king. You have to pump at the rate of the oil recharge or else you get all water or nothing. But even then you got to pump it down. The depth of perforation, length of stroke, motor speed and motor pulley size all matter. And then you get into pulling vacuum on the backside of the tubing. It’s a fairly simple machine but fine tuning to match the formation is a thing with real returns. Submersibles are a different ballgame with their own factors.

most people think pumpers and oilfield workers are by and large white trash dumbasses, but the good ones know their craft very well.

Correct. I tried a few different Salmon River Solutions rails. This vid shows them both. The rail setup shown near the end is what I've been running the last year or so.

I thought about adding something like that to my Impulse Big Game in 6.5CM but decided against it. I can put it in a HOG saddle if needed.

That looks like a Boyd's stock for your Savage Impulse. Correct?

Did you also add and ARCA rail to it? If so, which brand did you use?

KMW thread

Another rookie question: How can I move the cheek piece all the way to the left or right laterally?
Click to expand...
Hey Eric.

#1: Loosen the crossbolt tensioning the clamp body.

#2: The bottom of each column/leg will have a 3/16" hex drive machined into the bottom.

#3: Remove the cheek rest assembly, and break lose BOTH columns. This will release the tension on the backplate and allow lateral movement.
Once you have the cheek rest adjusted L/R, tighten both columns to lock down your preferred position.

#3A: Most of the stocks hosting KMW LoggerHead hardware have two small holes drilled into the bottom of the stock opposite the cheek rest.
You should be able to access the columns through those two 1/4" holes without removing the cheek rest from the stock (after relaxing the
clamp body.)
*Some of the MCS stocks are not inletted with these two holes.

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

Garmin is wasting their time doing useless updates that crash the system to give you a worthless BC (based off of what,100 yds of performance?). This cannot compare to an Applied Ballistics CDM done with a Doppler that costs well over $100K out to distances as far as we can shoot. WHY would I want to screw around with exporting data into spreadsheets and computing it myself when the unit I already purchased could do it if properly programmed? It CANNOT give me a useful BC based off the 100-ish yards it has the power to measure, but it ABSOLUTELY could give me an accurate measurement of my ES/SD if I could reactivate the session after the rifle has cooled. I really don’t get your resistance to the idea of adding a simple feature that EVERYONE I know with a Garmin wants, and not understanding the value of that feature. If you look back through threads, this THE big request for an update.

I'm sure Garmin is monitoring this thread. I can't speak for Garmin nor do I pretend to understand what % of their user base is requesting this feature request. Maybe "everyone" is a smaller sampling than you think. So why bark at me? Like I have any say in any of this.
