Neck Tension Inconsistencies on Lapua 6.5CM Brass

I cant for the life of me figure out why I have so much inconsistency in neck tension with this brass. This is 2 times fired brass in the same chamber (howa), annealead with an AMP, then sized through a forster full length sizer with 262 ball. All necks brushed with graphite and bodies lubed with die wax before sizing. I see the inconsistency with my mandrel checker, and in the arm of the arbor press while seating. What is changing so much that I cant see, that is affecting this neck tension?

Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

That's what I was afraid of. Are we talking heat gun or torch? :cry:

Alternative... Know of any strap wrenches thin enough to fit between the hadguard and a muzzle device? 😂 The advised 30-35 ft lb seems a bit much to crank down on the barrel with only the receiver in a vice.
A Midwest Industries upper receiver rod is your friend.

Current Surgeon vs AI Action

OK. I see Mike High also offers Proof. Are they chambered by Wintac?


Here is from today. AX with an AI Proof that has ~1,500rds and AT-X with a new 0 round Bartlien AI barrel. I was taking calls and clicked the wrong way a couple of times if your wondering why your seeing the groups shift around. I have a couple of fliers in the mix, but overall they both seem to shoot better then I can.

Kinda new to this so leaning as I go one more question then the receiver housing will work just change the bolt to a magnum? Thanks for the I nfo

Read that post. It should help.

Razor Gen 3 6-36: will 1.125 work?

Impact action with 20 MOA rail, straight taper barrel. Will a 0 MOA 1.225 one piece mount allow the objective to clear the barrel if the scope has a defender cap? What about with the sunshade and a defender cap?
Yes you are good to go. But obviously it would crash on a flat top rail such as an SRS or AiAx etc...

Precision Rifle Gear Let’s Talk Bipods

If I can grab a ckye pod, is there anything comparable at around half the price? If not i'll pull the trigger on that, even with it being a little pricey.
The only bipod comparable to the Ckyepod is the TierOne ATAC, not sure if it's readily available in the US though.

If you want Ckyepod versatility then get a Ckyepod.

Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

Uhh ocular rotating ring should be the same size as the 545 and 327.

@wooferocau can you confirm?

Yes ..correct 6-36 has same ocular size as 3-27 and 5-45.

Good to know. I researched and googled trying to find any info and couldn't so that’s where I landed.

I got kicked out of Cub Scouts...for eating Brownies.

Joke but I did get kicked out...for fighting.
My scouting came to an end when I got caught with a bottle of Cutty Sark whiskey on a winter camp out. I was only 12 and couldn’t afford something better


I honestly wasn’t drinking it—I figured it would be a good way to get a fire started

Same here in VT high school, class of 84... We all had Buck Folding knives on our belts, too. Noone thought a thing about it!

Sirhr
Same in Virginia. At about 12 my father taught me how to make black powder. That quickly morphed into more potent explosives. All was good, including setting the basement ablaze (very small fire, only lost my eyebrows), until we started making pipe bombs. The cops confiscated one and put it under a 55 gallon steel drum. Blew it to shreds and about 80 feet high. Pop got a call and that was the end of that. :cool: "He was such a a good child, I dont know what happened to him.". LOL.

Elementary school age, Cub Scout member. On days we had "den" meetings after school at one of the members homes, we wore our uniforms to school. Part of the uniform was our folding knives which hung from a hook on our belt. We could have the knives on us at school as long as we followed 3 rules:
1. They were to never to be used as a weapon
2. They were never to be used to mark or scratch on our desks
3. They were never to be used to cut off some girls ponytail. Yes, that is a very true rule
Violation of any of these rules led to confiscation, punishment, and you and all other scouts would never be allowed to have knives at school again. Greatest fear of scouts? Causing your fellow scouts not to be allowed to carry their knives because of something you did wrong. Different times for sure.
