Hang on...who the fuck is this Nick Fuentes guy and what is a groyper? I've never heard of this before today and all of a sudden I'm seeing it all over.

And the MSM is already trying to frame the shooter as far-right:

Tyler Robinson: Groyper, Nick Fuentes | Charlie Kirk Shooter

Tyler Robinson, the alleged Charlie Kirk shooter, was a self-identified groyper and a dedicated follower of Nick Fuentes' far-right ideology.

Unbelievable…

Which is?

Common issue in older/traditional style actions and longer OAL rounds.

You need to "notch" the feed ramp - you can DIY it with a Dremel, or you can send it off to a gunsmith. It's an easy fix.

That cratering is not from over pressure of any kind. It is from excess space between the firing pin hole and the firing pin itself. It's really a common thing to see. That issue can be gotten rid of by having you bold "bushed", where that space it significantly reduced.

As for the factory cases being flat . . . they are flatter, indicating more pressure than your loads. But there's still some rounding and does not suggest any over pressure issue. Though there appears to be a little bit of some ejector swipe that would suggest to me its on the boarder line of having too much pressure.

Thanks, I figured my loads were on the safe side but wanted to ask. Being that I'm barely starting to load for this 308 and shooting more and more with it, I'm starting to learn figure her out. I may just send the bolt in to LRI so they can bush it.

I may also try loading slightly hotter. It appears I may have a bit more room to go up in charge weight.

There's a video above that is one hour 40min: the takeaway was it was clear Charles wasn't wearing plates when you see his nipples, but likely but one was on before he did his Q&A and hot shot because you literally see his T-shirt rise to face level. He likely changed when he got mic'd up between throwing out hats/introduction and the Q&A. Supposedly Ericka had insisted that he wear some plates/vest at these events. There is a good argument that anything that high caliber/rifle will obliterate the surrounding tissue - hence that did not look like the initial impact of a 30-06.

This is one of the most reasonable takes on this issue I’ve read so far… thanks for the insight.

Guess we’ll know for sure at some point once the autopsy’s released… And even if it’s not, the details about something like this will certainly be confirmed or denied.

If you want effective and light, it won’t be cheap.

These are the lightweight plates I got for my wife and daughter to keep in their “go” or “get home” bags: https://rmadefense.com/store/body-armor/special-rifle-threat/srt-lightweight-womens-body-armor/

They fit perfectly in lightweight Ferro Concepts Slickster plate carriers BTW. They have shingles with mags for whatever they have with them that attach with velcro in the backpack that’s stored right next to the carrier. Gives them the option to throw it on quickly if needed, or if they have time to get “kitted up” …again, if the situation warrants that level of gear we’re screwed anyway, but it helps me sleep at night knowing they have that available if something happens.

We also have Hesco 800-series Level 4 plates in plate carriers for every family member, plus my son’s wife here at the house in the safe room, but thinking about getting all three of them the multi-curve “female” Level 4 plates from those guys too.

They’re very $pendy though, and kind of hard to justify the additional expense when they already have the form-fitting lightweight level 3+ stuff at work (wife), and her apartment at school 6+ hours from here (daughter); plus those rather expensive Hesco level 4 plates here.

I tried some standard rem 9 1/2s per your recommendation to move away from 2nds. I did however keep the pulled jugs since they shot so good. I also made sure to sort by base to Ogive and used all the ones that measured out the same.

It appears I got worse results. Also, while appearing well rounded, the primers do have some catering or high areas all around the firing pin strike. Can anybody comment on whether this is an indication of pressure? Being such a low charge, considering what others here run, I don't believe so. Here is what I'm talking about.

And here are the cases from the factory ammo I shot as a control group. These certainly appear to be hot. Primers do look rounded vs flat but brass has shiny spots.

TacOps are awesome! Not sure many folks can outshoot a TacOps, a trg or an ai. At that level, the shooter is very much the weak link!

Hell, I'd probably be a billionaire just from yesterday when we got home from an overnight trip!!

Why do I have to wear a ballistic vest in 2025 to have a debate over issues that we disagree? OUR country has devolved into one of those “shithole” countries. It’s a shame that I can no longer leave my home without carrying a firearm. The hate in America is at a crescendo.

I had that happen once hunting northern MN. Clearly heard the impact, my buddy heard it and saw it. Doe took off into the alders.

No blood trail, no spatter, just a little bit of fur. Unfortunately after a couple of hours never did find her.

Same friend of mine did that with an elk we never found it. He hit it good too I was watching saw it right in the proverbial boiler room should've died no problem.

I noticed a couple on a car for the 1st time yesterday, 1 on the bumper, another on the drivers door. Both were cockeyed and wrinkled.

I looked over at the driver as I passed, definitely a 15-16 y.o. girl.

In the used under $2000 Here are two great scopes to look at that can be found used like new.
Zeiss S3 6-36X56
