AR 15 reloading

75gr ELD-M is just the 75gr A-MAX with the new tips for uniformity of components.

This is what it looks like loaded to mag-length:

Ogive gets buried. It’s safe within limits of the load/intruded case volume, not the data you see for 2.390” single fed loads. Great for single loading or bolt guns, not for mag-fed AR-15s.

Here’s an outdated projectile list for .224”:

Nightforce 5-25x56

Hello all

I’m thinking about switching out my Nightforce Atacr 4-16x42 to a 5-25x56 for hunting. I’ve used the 4-16 for a bunch of years now and killed a pile of critters, but lately I’ve felt like I’d like to have a little more zoom. I know they aren’t very light, it doesn’t bother me though. I’m in somewhat decent shape😂. I’m also a big fan of the Mil-R reticle.

Do any of you use the Atacr 5-25 for hiking and hunting? If so I’d sure appreciate some feedback back.

Thanks in advance
Bob

The peak pressure is in the center of the propellant column. You can’t generate any higher pressure than that point because of expanding volume as the projectile moves forward.

In the standard AR-15 barrel tennon, there is a relief-cut in the threads before the shoulder. That is the weakest place of the chamber walls if cut that way.

White Oak Armament dealt with it using smaller threads that go longer, with a longer barrel extension in front of the flange like on an AR-10. This moved the relief-cut forward of the center of the powder column.

Even 5.56 chambers egg-out with high round counts, but civilian shooters replace their barrels way before they ever get near those counts because of extreme throat erosion that comes before you hit those numbers.

I am aware of solar loading when there is sun and I agree that the Kestrel can better control for those things with a mostly sealed device by having an exposed temperature sensor that can be normalized by spinning it in ambient air.

The counterpoint more so is that there could be a design that addresses these constraints. I get that aspirational ideas are not well liked. But for example, getting a temperature from a sensor on a kestrel drop or your binos is probably not going to be that far off. Integrate a sensor design into the device for that. Otherwise this is mostly a redundant accessary that could better be replaced by a workflow with laser rangefinding binos Linked tm to a Kestrel 5700.
Good point. I think I originally said something along the lines of “this certainly isn’t the end all be all device”, because that already exists and is north of 10k and is FDA regulated if you catch my drift.

I view this as an option to grab with a kestrel instead of my RF binos with sensors in them. Different situations will dictate what I bring that day. I like options. Especially cheap options, because this paired with a kestrel is still less money than 10k GenII’s or Vectronix.

Sheriff shoots judge... Can't wait for the back story?

Mama and Dumplings.

Sounds like something Maxine Waters would while casting voodoo spells on Trump.

When I was a teen a friend of mine lived next door to a witch, she had an altar in the back yard and all this other weird shit. One night we got high, jumped the fence and stole all the magic stuff from her altar. Always wondered if that bitch cursed us.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

OK. i get it and have known a lot of that for a long while. WTF does any of that have to do visa vis Russia and Ukraine NOW? are you saying that every thing Biden and co have done is justified in light of American nat'l interest? you Z lovers never come up with a rational reason to have done and do this stuff. ie other than P man bad and we don't like him.
I’m not a Z-lover. Think outside of binary terms that have been created by propagandists on social media on both sides. I’m laying down the historical foundation of Russian penetration of US foreign services and multiple White Houses.

The truth is the 3rd option, which has no home.

Biden has been on Soviet payroll since 1972. They literally got him into the Senate through Council for a Livable World, and steered his votes the entire time he was in the Senate, while influencing him financially when he was VP and in the WH.

Biden was supposed to extract Zelensky from Kiev, remember? Whose interests does that serve?

Zelensky refused the runaway flight, and stayed to coordinate the Ukrainian resistance to Russian occupation that never materialized once the Javelins and other weapons stopped the armored columns dead in their tracks.

Who sent the Javelins to Ukraine that were already there? Trump

Obama’s and Biden’s actions in Ukraine were in-favor of Russia. They both worked hard to disarm Ukraine from 2009-2016, and also convinced other NATO partners not to send weapons to Ukraine.

Putin also bribed the Clintons through Clinton Global Initiative with $363 million. There are lower-level US investigators who have been trying to indict the Clintons for these and other crimes for decades.
