🚨 NFA language BACK IN!!! (Post #121) HPA/Short Act Update 7/1 ☎️ these 💩 and yell at them more

They can deny (plausibly) any "manufactured" evidence (Photos, etc.) that we proffer. They have to be "real" photos and properly sourced/verified.

I would imagine they do exist. It's just a matter of finding them.
Not true. Enough scandal, real or manufactured can be devastating.

Your PVA prefit experience

I hope I don’t regret buying a 1:7 7PRC barrel. Planning to shoot 175gr+, but the aggressive twist still feels restrictive.
We shoot them from 175-190 in jacketed bullets and 170-185 in solids. Why would you shoot a 7 PRC with light bullets?

Only Osprey barrels anymore? I'm looking for a Rock Creek, etc, .223 1:8. Not seeing anything like that anymore. I LOVE my current .223 PVA, but I think it will be shot out relatively soon.
Availabilty of blanks is why Ospreys were started 5 years ago. Now that the process and brand is well established why would we stop all that hard work just to go back to a different brand that can tell us "we can't supply your PO's, we are too busy" again?

There's close to 10,000 Ospreys in the market now. Our boomerang rate is lower than we ever had historically... I'm pretty sure you're going to be quite happy with an Osprey 223 in an 8 twist.

Consistency, or lack thereof

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.
For new Lapua brass, I chamfer the case mouth and run an expander mandrel/ball through the neck.
