Ring on bullet

I started loading a new load today for my .22-250. I started loading a 60 gr Vmax on 31.5 gr of Varget. I am using a Forster Coax press with a brand new Forster Ultra Micrometer Seating Die on virgin Lapua brass. Max load is 34 gr of Varget. My C.O.L. is measuring right at 2.350. When I started the first 4 rounds gave an audible click when I lowered the ram after seating the bullet. The next 6 did not have the audible click but all 10 bullets now have a ring on the just above the case mouth. I cleaned the die prior to starting. I tried running a qtip through the seating die to see if there is a burr or something with no snags. I have never had this issue before. Anyone have any idea what is causing this.

Why does everyone keep responding to the guy from Retardistan? You guys know every time you respond he just goes back into the closet of his single wide and beats off. The guy looks like he lives on cum sock soup, so stop helping him.

If he had a real life he would be greasing up a fat bitch and getting busy.

What does "looking for problems that do not exist" look like?

These bros are obviously not trying to be clout chasers like Johnny Somali (who is currently facing 10-15 years in a South Korean prison), but they are just misinformed by a lot of leftist propaganda on the Internet that aims to keep black influencers and content creators scared and repost fright porn based on stereotypes of America's flyover country.

BTW, Sharpsburg, Maryland is a National Heritage site where the Antietam Battlefield is located. In addition to annual reenactments and living history events, the town plays host to THOUSANDS of elementary and high school field trips passing through, as well as TV and documentary film crews. They also have some of the spiciest chicken wings in the country!

ETA: Not ONE viewer comment in the comment section of the video talked about Sharpsburg being a Civil War battlefield. That is the state of education today...

New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

Don't try the 2-10 version! I have both and for my ARC prefer the 2-10 for sure :ROFLMAO:

I hd considered the 2-10x but I was already running the Razor 1-10x prior and I simply needed a bigger objective for more low light capabilities and a better reticle for precision hunting. The 2-10x would be nice on my opticless 14.5" 556 build sitting around waiting for glass but it's likely going to get a NX8 2.5-20x.

ECCO Machine Alternative - HUB Mount

A friend of mine suggested BSD Fab? Anyone know anything about them?

FYI, I have already talked to Scott, seems like a great guy and will probably use him....just feel their should be more than ONE outfit doing this AND doing so while maintaining ECCO standards....or is everyone else just a bunch of hacks?
BSD is another one born from the F1 boards; as well as one of the few to make a SF compatible proximal mount. There are a few guys out there like him that can do thread conversations and re-cores, they're just not often well known on sites like this one.

I've never had work done at BSD, but I've seen his work, and it's legit.

Custom Cylindrical is another option as well. He also makes a sick integral m1 carbine if one was so inclined.

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

Great news, but would you PLEASE, PLEASE make it so that we can re-activate a String once we have left it and come back to it, and continue to collect/add more shots to it?

It is very common to need to collect data on more than one rifle or load in a session, but a rifle or suppressor may need to cool before all data collection is finished. In this instance most people will begin to collect data on the next rifle while the first one cools, so a new session is started. When the second rifle needs to pause for cooling, the Xero will not allow you to re-open the previous session and continue adding to it. This is very inconvenient, and seems like something that would be very easy to fix. One things for sure, more people will find this useful than the BC calc option.

Thanks for listening!
