22 ARC brass question

I used 6 ARC Starline brass and necked it down with a Forester 22 ARC FL die. This was mistake. I found that some of the rounds would neither fire nor extract from my AR. Had to knock them out with a cleaning rod from the muzzle. What I think happened is that 6 ARC brass is a little too short and it would feed too far into the chamber where the firing pin couldn't hit it and the extractor couldn't grab it. Huge PIA. Bought 6.5 grendel Starline brass and used the same process, so far no problems.
Yeah, the shoulder on the 6 ARC is set back 30 thou from that of the 6.5 Grendel and the 22 ARC.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Lots of low level individuals/servicemen being sacrificed for the MIC and a couple of elites on both side to make a lot of money. The EU and American government are all complicit in this ridiculous war.
IMO the only true war/military intervention that was justifiable by the US since WW2 was Iraq/Kuwait. A coalition was formed, objective was clear and an end result/exit was planned and executed.
I do hope DJT can help end this ridiculous mess, too many lives lost for what? Amazing what age, time and observations does to ones (my) thinking.
Uke can't win this war and the EU and US money/ weapons being sent there is just resulting in unnecessary deaths and a prolonged war.

03/14/2025 SpaceX crewed launch VIDEO STREAM HERE: NASA astronauts coming back home tonight.

Have always wanted to see a launch live. Was in Daytona a couple of years ago for the 24hr and they had a launch that weekend. Scrubbed all 3 days when I was down there.... To make up for it, I have been to 3 Starship launches and the first catch on Flight 5. I will never get tired of watching a Falcon 9 land, but to see booster catch was just about as crazy as watching the Solar Eclipse. Every ones minds were collectively blown when it happened.

I was there at Ft Benning 13 years ago when they were testing the General Dynamics LWMMG (338NM). I actually got to fire it. All these years later they still haven’t made a decision. This is just a rehash of old ideas they never made a move on.

Their new 6.8 cartridge is an update of .276 Pedersen from the mid 1920s. This is how government works, it's all about the process without results.
