Running quickload on your 140 ELD-M, it shows that 42.5 gr of H4350 is the max (62,000psi chamber) with a 51.5 gr water brass capacity, and the overall cartridge length of 2.8 in.

With Lapua brass though probably need to take off about 1gr though since its case capacity tends to run smaller.

With the 147 ELD-M it is 41.2 max, same pressure etc.

There is also a spec on the gas port for max pressure of ~ 12,500 psi for the AR15. I don't know if an AR10 is the same.

I helped a friend of mine get his ruger 308 AR, set up for a hog hunt he went on. He had 4 boxes of ammo from different manufactures shooting a 168 gr. bullet.

3 boxes shot fine out of his AR, the 4th was tearing the rim off his brass like crazy. The chrono was showing around a 100 fps faster in that round, and it was ejecting at ~ 1-2 oclock position. The others were betwenn 3-4 oclock.

Watch where you are ejecting and your brass condition to tell you where your max should be as you work up.

Freedom ain't free. It cost our Forefathers all-kinds-of-blood, and society today just gives it away.

Not far from the Wiemar Republic.

I know the first time I was around a Polonium me and several others in our squad were impressed. The guy was shooting a 6 creed and it was really quite and I have a TBAC Ultra 9. The second time I’ve heard one was on a full auto AR and it still was impressive.

Been awhile since I’ve looked into watches.
Are the Breitling watches still a good watch? Appreciate any thoughts.

One will over hang over the recoil lug. The other should be flush with the front edge of the receiver.

Hanging over will give you more real estate for mounting optics. But if you are running something like a WTO switch lug it would interfere or anything else that could be in that spot..

One area that I'm wondering about is the edge/mouth of the case neck looking expanded. If it is actually a larger diameter than the case neck then it would be possible to chamber the case without the bullet and then have difficulty chambering with the bullet.

yeah guys I took it all apart and reassembled it all. Then I plugged the barrel and blew down the end. I kept opening the gas block till it had good flow. Ill fire it in the morning and see what happens.
Thanks for all the help.

Instead of just randomly opening your gas block, read the instructions and set it to full open that way there is no guess-work as to it being fully open or not.

Recoil lug as well

In your description of the firing pin remaining back when you pull the trigger, if it's not moving at all I'd think it is due to the trigger.

When you disassembled the bolt did you remove the firing pin from the cocking piece and shroud? If so, did you try running the firing pin into the bolt body feeling for any drag or hang-up?

All I can say is based on personal experience.

I know at least 6 people who had to replace electronic locks, and I don't know anyone personally who has replaced a combo S&G lock.

I haven't replaced one yet, but I DO have a spare on hand, just in case I need to one day. Something about the smooth mechanicals though... they are almost bullet-proof.

Well, the door is.... HA.

I use the March Optics 1-10 DFP on my 18"SPR and the 1.5-15 on my 22" 6.5 CR. I couldn't be happier with them.

Yes.

It's the premier precision rifle training outfit in the world for good reason.

glad to help. if you're wanting to test the limits of your gun's functional accuracy, the Hornady Black 7.62x39 with the SST projectile is the most accurate of the factory loads.

you can clone it using Prvi Brass, CCI LR primer, and 26.2gr of accurate 1680 loaded to the cannelure on a .310 dia 123gr SST with a mild roll crimp.

Most AKs fed good ammo are capable of surprisingly good accuracy, they just have a reputation for being dogshit because most people are using mass-manufacture combloc surplus that gives you 4 MoA on a good day

Whadda you think of 255gr Sub-X subsonic out of an x39 AK ?

Thanks. Just didn't like that the sooty residue is baked on from annealing. Will give this a try to see if I find any differences

AZIROC · Dec 26, 2024

Aww. Ok. I think I got it.

Edit.
So basically criterion is out. it looks like Shilen is an option though to still be able small shank and 7prc. And the select match is $375 ($450 to have it threaded)

Or would it be worth it for a Krieger ($600)

C’mon already! My freeloading ass can’t post pics and I’m going to meltdown soon.

On the hunt for a L3 STORM SLX dual button pressure pad. Let me know what you got.

I have always dry tumbled with rice before and after sizing. My question is if I prefer to clean brass BEFORE sizing should cleaning be done before or after annealling?

Any time you anneal, whether it's flame annealing or induction annealing, there's always some abrasive oxidation layer left on the heated surfaces (inside and out); more so with flame annealing. Therefore, it's always a good idea to clean after annealing. So, if you're going to clean before sizing, do your annealing before you're first cleaning, then size and clean again.

I'd go try that same reamer in an offcut of standard 416 and see if it's the reamer.

JGS reamer, second chamber it has ever cut so not likely. I don't have another 338 blank on hand to try at the moment. But It's not impossible it could be the reamer.

And to argue for not selling to a mentally ill alphabet person, it is hard to say they are falsifying the 4473 by not disclosing a mental illness. If the medical establishment is not saying that gender dysphoria is a mental illness, then they cannot be disqualified from that.

However, the owner or employees of a shop can refuse service. A customer could still sue them for interfering with the right to keep and bear arms but that is weak because another shop may sell to them with no problems. I am thinking of the baker in Colorado. He did not want bake a cake celebration an abomination. He pointed them to a bakery that was walking distance and almost line of sight from his shop that would have baked any cake they wanted. But their intention was to sue him and state that he is inflicting his religion on them, etcetera, etcetera.

And the satanists in the courts sided with the mentally ill.

A shop owner would have to be a complete moron to do something that would trigger a lawsuit like the bakers.

As an FFL, the ATF gives me the right to refuse service to anyone if they make me think the sale should not go through. All I have to say is I didn't feel comfortable. If I said it was because they were a woman or gay etc that would just be dumb.

I did have a woman I almost turned down a sale to simply because she was a woman. She was small and wanted to buy a glock 21...... I was ready to ask he to leave but first asked he some questions. Turns out she has quite the collection and loves recoil.....she even has a 44 mag. She wanted to 21 for home defense too because she wanted to stop a threat if need be. Also she had a carry permit.
