Off into unknown....i have never rebuilt one of these before. Webers both down and side draft, check. Real Holley of all kinds,check. Motorcraft and doG knows how many quadrajunks, but never anything with oil in it, or supposed to be in it. Rebuild kits range between I am coming to join you Elizabeth to you have got to be fucking kidding me.

Not all together familiar with the Stromberg carbs, but The SU side draft carbs from the 60's had oil in them to dampen the slides ... you could change oil weights and help regulate how fast they open close (small differences make a lot of difference)..... Wondering if the will in theses are for similar purpose?

Is this a serious question? After 5 shots with a capable suppressed ELR cartridge you’re already getting into suppressor/barrel-induced mirage and it needs to cool. Do you think you’re getting an accurate ES/SD from 5 shots? If you do, shoot 5, record the result, then shoot another 5 added to the first 5 in the same session, then shoot another 5 without closing the session. Compare 5 vs 15 and see what you see. Occasionally it’s the same if you have the load perfectly tuned, but often you’ll see the numbers double or more vs 5 shots. Then you know what you actually have.
It is a serous question. I get what your saying. Can you not export the data from ShotView and throw it in a spreadsheet to include multiple sessions and just do the calculations? Certainly not a simple work around but it can be done.

Finally finished the GF's 6cm and am looking at Forster dies. I've got 100 Peterson cases. Does it have a thicker neck wall? Do I need to get a neck sizer with the dies? I'm sure it's much better, but how does it stack up to Hornady once fired brass?

I run Peterson brass in 6CM, .260, and 7-300 PRC.

If you normally full length resize, you won't notice/have any issue with the Peterson brass. If you use a bushing die anyway, you may want to experiment with a size or two until you get the interference fit you're looking for.

In most of my cartridges, I just F/L resize and then mandrel .002 under as a last step in brass prep. To each their own. I run my 6CM Peterson brass through a full length Redding sizing die without issue.

Art?

Just thought I'd ask about what folks have hanging in their house. I'd be the first to admit that I don't know much about it other than the mandatory classes in HS & College I had to take.

We're now at the point where we're starting to hang things on our walls that aren't pictures of ourselves and thus far have settled on two pieces from the same artist which are below:


Red Art Visual arts Paint Love




Hat Fedora Graphic design Graphics Fictional character



I can't intellectually say why I liked these particular pieces but I did/do and that's where I'm at.

Anyone here know a thing or two about art and/or want to share some pieces that they enjoy/may have hanging in their home?

your tastes are about 180 degrees off from mine. that matters NOT 1 tiny bit. visual art is like music. likes and taste are all that matters. should always be a "to each his own" conclusion.

Curious as to the why there is a need to add more shots to a ended session. I mean how many shots in total are really needed for load development?
Is this a serious question? After 5 shots with a capable suppressed ELR cartridge you’re already getting into suppressor/barrel-induced mirage and it needs to cool. Do you think you’re getting an accurate ES/SD from 5 shots? If you do, shoot 5, let it cool 10 minutes while you record the result, then shoot another 5 added to the first 5 in the same session, let it cool another 10 minutes as you record the result, then shoot another 5 without closing the session. Compare 5 vs 15 and see what you see. Occasionally it’s the same if you have the load perfectly tuned, but often you’ll see the numbers double or more vs 5 shots. Then you know what you actually have.
Now, notice all the time wasted waiting for the rifle to cool which you could have used to gather data on another rifle if you could switch back and forth and reactivate sessions.

So, after answering your question, I’ll ask you the same thing - how many shot do you think are needed?
