Is this FFP or SFP? Thanks

Pm sent.

I guess he doesn't take PayPal as he never responded back to me in regards to buying #5

Good thing as I scored a Very Hard to Find Spuhr SP-4024 with 1.89" Height instead. Old style and not the SP-4024C version.

Thanks anyways.

If this output is correct, and I think it is, 42.4 gn Varget only burned 95% of the powder. 44gn, as pictured, would burn 100% and remain well below max pressure. Predicted MV is 2725, right where I was working on the higher node and ran into pressure signs. Gonna try working the charge upward starting a bit below 44gn and see what happens, then start over with new components when they arrive.

Do you guys do anything to new Lapua brass? I know there are lots of opinions. I’m inclined to just load it and shoot it, use up the sierras and Varget for fire forming 300 new cases.

Any time you get new brass, you've going to find variations in their head space. This is why its a good idea to fire form them to your particular chamber before you do any load development and you don't want to measure case volume until they're fired in you chamber to you have the proper case volume to your loading.

When Lapua brass comes boxed in the bulk, it's always a good idea to run a mandrel through them to be make sure the necks are round. Also, when they're trimmed, they're not chamfered and it's always best to seat bullets in a neck that's ben chamfered.

PS: for fire forming, it's ok to just load and shoot new cases. . . preferably with cheap bullets since you're not likely to get the best results until after you've fire formed them.

Not just guns. Coins. Knives. Commemorative spoons. Whatever. Your kids and their kids don’t care about your collection. They don’t know or care “what it is worth.” When you kick, they only care about what they can get- right now. Estate planning should include a healthy dose of liquidation of these “assets” where the collector value outstrips the material value.

And it’s not just your kids. Collector markets are fickle and driven by fashion and fads. The collection you put together 30 years ago might just be out of fashion and no longer worth what it was, or even what you have in it.

Personally? Don’t care as I would never buy one. It is still the best design I have seen on this thread. From a practical point it is not threaded, so if it did sieze it would not be that hard to remove the outer cap and using a “T” puller ( make one out of a drywall T bolt if all else fails) yank it out, carbon does not resist linear force very well.

What reticle? TMR by chance?

Oddly, they didnt kill that many, only 22 but near 900 prisoners. A complete surprise and rout. God bless George Washington, IMHO one of the great men in all of history. How many men walk away from power? For a good read on him His Excellency George Washington.



During the Battle of Trenton, which followed Washington's crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night, Washington's army killed 22 Hessian soldiers. The Americans also captured a significant number of Hessians, with 896 taken prisoner.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Killed: 22 Hessian soldiers, including their commander, Colonel Johann Rall.
  
  
• Wounded: 83 Hessian soldiers were wounded.
  
  
• Captured: 886 to 900 Hessian soldiers were captured.
  
  
• American Casualties: The American forces suffered 3 killed and 6 wounded during the battle, according to The History List and Wikipedia.

Wish I’d seen this a year ago. Setting up GRT now, measuring case volume, see what it says.

Just an FYI: When measuring case volume, I've found the best way to get a good measurement is when you've slightly over filled the case and trying to get it level to the case mouth, I use a light source (like a small flashlight) and shine it on the water where I can see whether the water is concave, level or convex. It's very easy to see that with a light source. Then, I take a small piece of paper towel to wick the water down until it's level (I do this while the case is sitting on the scale and the scale has been zeroed with the case on it). Sometimes I wick too much resulting in it being convex, where I put a small drop back on and re-wick to level. It doesn't take much water to change the weight indicated, especially on a good electronic scale. To wick just a small amount of water off, I'll just touch the water with a couple fibers sticking out of the piece of paper towel. Also note, that it's best to do 10 cases, as that give you a much better report of case volume for your lot than doing just 3 to 5.

Dumped my bike on very slightly wet pavement at an intersection back in 1975. Slow speed left turn but nearly got run over anyways. As a State Trooper unfortunately saw my share of bike vs. guard rail. It's never pretty and the guard rail wins every single time. Glad you're alive to tell your story. Best of luck on the surgery and an uneventful recovery.

I hope they start a rec league for this kind of soccer where I live.
