I understand but there is literally no way to prove they work to anyone else. I have struggled with them off and on for years. Back a few, Anschutz USA was clearing out some 54-18 actions do the Custom shop started creating 54-18 benchrest repeaters (yeah an oxymoron). I have their #1 rifle and I told Steve B that I didn’t need one. I was seeing some vertical so I bought a Harrels and put it on. Cleaned it up. Some ammo was more affected and as I buy cases, I live with the results. The thing is you can’t prove that you either didn’t lie about the good or that you didn’t fudge the bad. It is something a person has to be interested in and try’s for themselves.

I think most people would agree there is discussion and testing to be done around tuners for reducing group size.
The issue all comes with the ignoring of ES, as ultimately this is what determines your accuracy at distance.

Almost every groups you will see is wider than it is tall (if no wind present), meaning the ES is what is dictating the ultimate accuracy.
My limited testing mimics Jajas extensive 50 @ 200 testing, which basically shows group size is ES at distance, when pluging the minimum and maximum numbers into Strelok you'll get a difference in drop that more or less equals what you see on target.
I appreciate you can't change your ES, but that's the point.

If you can't get a stable supply of ammo that has a low ES, shooting at 200yards + is just a recipes for frustration.
If your groups at 300yards are 8" tall due to ammo ES, then trying to do long gong on targets that are 6" or 4" means you are just gambling that most of the shots will be on target.
If you are trying to shoot targets that are smaller than what your rifle and ammo is actually capable of, then expect it to be frustrating once you start getting competitive (or overly competitive).

It's the difference between the NF ELR challenge and a 1000yard 22lr trick shot.
NF ELR is within a distance people can be expected to make consistent hit's if the shooter gets the fundamentals and environmentals right.
Where as a 1000 yard trick shoot is always going to be a case of just shooting until you get lucky, or you shoot at a big enough target that it doesn't represent any real form of accuracy.

Some people may enjoy the "trick shot" style and that is fine, by sounds like the OP was finding it frustrating, hence my comment to limit shooting to 200yards. I know I started getting frustrate in shooting matches starting out with CCI Standard, as the long distance targets became a luck thing rather than skill, and you just had to shoot until you got a hit.

I have been so deep into the Ducks 1911 thread it's all I can do to keep up.

That’s interesting both in the 35xx range and it happened. Did it start right away. I’m in the same range and prob have 500 rounds on it. It just looks like normal wear in. It’s good to know Zermatt is taking care of it.

Started instantly.
At 200 rounds it was very noticeable.
At 3000 it let go completely, and dropped the firing pin 50% of the time.

I documented round count vs wear, it’s posted thought out this thread.

I intend to do the same with this bolt body.

Zermatt has been good. Although waiting was a bummer, I’m hopeful this is the end all solution.
Receiver cleaned to the bone, and ready for a fresh insertion.

You will get your first suppressed shots with YOUR suppressor and that will induce a dire need to acquire more [suppressors].

Yup. I'm thinking I still need one for my 9mm PCC, my 300BO and a rimfire. At least they'll be cheaper than the optics on the rigs they're going on.

I, at first, had it in my head that I was going to use something like a YHM R9 to pull double duty on my 9mm and 300BO, but now am thinking otherwise. I'm going to go dedicated and get the right suppressor for the job on each.

I'd be stoked to see a higher mag and a 34mm LPVO version.

It’s not profitable sending “expired” munitions for major defense contractors. The last time they handled most of those muntions was either at time of manufacture 20-30 years ago, or during upgrades for the services. For MIC, those are sunk costs realized decades ago. I don’t understand why this reality doesn’t sink in, other than the repetitive effects of consuming TikTok and social media brevity posts that pound a lie in repeatedly.

The “cash value” sent is marginal to that, to keep critical workers paid so the whole country doesn’t just collapse. I agree with the sentiment that it isn’t our business doing nation-building, and it would have all been avoided had Trump been at the helm like before. Weak traitors who already sold out our Nation like Clinton, Biden, and Obama only embolden adventurists to move forward.

We never wanted to interfere with Russia. Russia is free to do what it wants within its borders. Ukraine agreed to hand over the nukes with Nunn-Lugar, as long as the US, UK, and Russia would ensure their territorial sovereignty. Putin violated that long ago, so we’re left with his mess. It isn’t our doing or any of that Russian deflection messaging designed to get navel-gazers to self-blame, from 6000 miles away.

well,i haven't been really paying attention. my bad.
1) it is not profitable to send old munitions anywhere? total BS. they get paid to replace them. they are likely sent by the gov and not at their expense.
2) Russia can do whatever it wants in it's own borders? so you do advocate our mil as acting as the world's cop? sounds classic neocon license to start wars to me.
3) you still,for about the 10th time,refuse to answer my question (from your omniscience) about why we should be involved in the Uke war at all at any time now or in the past.
4) don't seem to have any notion of why we should save Europe yet a 3rd time.
5) sorry your contention that The Obiden admins tried to disarm Ukraine is such obviously patent BS that anything else you have to say or have said is just completely worthless blather. i sort feel stupid for paying attention to it.
6) said it before. all your marvelous revelations about the infiltration and corruption of our politicians by the communists in the past are,or should be,common knowledge. has been to me and i am sure to many others here. China has now taken that job.

Personally I’d be contacting Sloan or Mt Sinai in manhattan not the hide for critical medical advice.

Manners TCS Max. Mine has finally showed up. This stock is 100% designed for Rimfire with all the forward weight. It has an internal Brass Bar in the forearm with a different shell fill around it. Then the Micro chassis. Then a lite fill in the back of the stock. As pictured it is 20.6 LB and balanced. Remove the Super Cal and it is 19.4 and almost balanced. This is the MAX Steel rail on it and 2 small steel internal weights. The M-Lok Sykes rail is only available from a Rimfire Team Member.

I just opened up YouTube and the first suggestion for a short was your video

Frank, did you ever get this sorted? I have a Unertl (w/ uso mod) that I believe is giving me similar issues, if I understood your post correctly.

Problem: The objective lens cell housing that is adjusted (slid forward and backwards by the focus ring) to set the parallax does not come into contact with my locking ring when the parallax is set. So when I go to snug my locking ring down, it pulls the assembly forward and sets the parallax at something ridiculous like 5yds or so.
Note: Yes, I have set my ocular lens to where the reticle is crisp immediately upon shouldering. I have owned two other Unertl/Mst-100 and never had this issue. So I'm at a bit of a loss.

Possible Solutions: I have thought of having a spacer machined to fill the gap between the locking ring and the objective lens cell housing, which should fix the issue as it will allow the two to "lock" together without pulling the objective lens cell housing forward. I hesitate with this though, because the scope was never mounted after being rebuilt and it practically new "old stock" so surely theres not something majorly wrong, and instead some adjustments out of wack.

N160 is right there with burn rate as well. You'll most likely compress the load before you run into pressure signs.

Both SC and regular cut? Or just SC?

You just made me realize that I'm sitting on about 7.5lbs of IMR-4955 (H4831 equivalent). Might have to do a little testing with that down the road.

TBH, I have the 4955 because it shoots so well out of my 7RM with 150gr bullets.

we can hope so. as long as they lose ALL US support and we get ALL assets out,doesn't matter. all our interference is going to end up doing is get a bunch of people killed that had no input or interest in our interference. VN,Iraq,Afghanistan, Chile,Congo for a few. we were able to make our elite neocons some cash however. a lot of these rabid interventionists we have here (and they seem to be multiplying like fungus) need to read Smedley Butler's book. that would be a good starting point.

Actually, incorporating all of it (couple questions, topic of the day/week etc...) included into every live stream might not be a bad thing to keep it from getting stagnated.

Might even include a "meme of the week". I hear that there are some good ones about @akmike47 ... like that time he posed as a rabbi....

Please excuse the mess. Wife and grandkid asleep next to kitchen on the couch.

The small lodge pan is great for a sandwich loaf and a good test loaf size instead of making a round boule twice the size.

That little white bowl scraper is worth its weight in gold when you figure out how to work your dough in a bowl while it's still sticky and not get all messy.

The homade funnel is ok my good one that fits the ball jars is dirty but keeps things from being a mess and the insides of the jars clean so you can see progress.

3x5's recipies get rubber bands and let you mark starter beginning height. Plastic spoons are easier to clean.
