AR receivers from the dearly departed Theis

All I know is I've got my Zincpoint ammo loaded in my hoplite long action with my liberty vortex scope, and wearing my track suit while I scroll.
Not sure what everyone elses problem here is while I'm carring the load for all you lazy freaks- benching, doing concrete work, honing my bow staff skills, counting my flipz, and gettin good folks to buy more ammo.
Only remaing thing I can say is we miss Veer chiming in. The articulate, caring, and good man gone too soon.
A few others... not "Sincerely" missed.

And you know Veer is the Man I was speaking of. Many of us miss him. Next month will be the mark of another year without him.

USPS steals/loses Gunbroker pistol shipment. How many months until USPS pays the insurance claim?

Has the inspection service been contacted?

As much as I hate to say it, it could easily be in a container in the office and the management is too trifling to go looking for it and telling you they have looked.

Not having a delivery or exception scan on it should have raised a flag the next day.

Haha. Well, I mean your thumbprints were all over the thread titled Hoplite Arms. And there’s an old saying about wrestling with a pig. So apparently you didn’t get your money or your rifle

lol You don't get it. "I" wuzn't the "Guy". A deceased friend that wuz on here did some internet work for him and wuz supposed to be given a Rifle for his services. When he passed he left me a number of his Guns and then his Wife drove across country to drop off ammo and other items he wanted me to have. He also wanted me, through his Wife, to have the Rifle he wuz supposed to receive. That's it sport. That's my involvement, other than BSing with a number of random grifters, not just Theis.

Sincerely,

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

Primer seating depth?

Trying to get more into developing more accurate loads. Trying to wrap my head around the hole primer seating depth thing but, kind of lost here. Normally just seat the primers with a hand tool or on my single stage lnl. Seat until they bottom out and move on. But, now I’m reading all this on primer depth uniformity and not sure what the best way to go about seating the primers. In my head, It seems if I seat the primers to an exact same depth beyond flush, than some might bottom out less than others. Is this actually better than running them in until they bottom out? Maybe I’m missing something in the process.
Yes, seating primers to the "exact same depth beyond flush" you get variations in they amount of anvil crush and distance from the bottom of the pockets. . . unless the pockets are uniformed. Also note that from a study done a few years back to see how consistent hand seating primers was, it was found that even though experienced reloaders saying their seating by feel, they're getting their primers seated to the bottom of the pockets; but the measurements showed that just wasn't so. There was quite a bit of variance. However, that variance apparently doesn't make much difference, for reloaders other the those like high end competitive bench rest shooters. This YouTube video showing a good experiment about this shows the effects of such variance:

Since I like things to be as consistent as possible, I'll uniform my primer pockets and measure the particular primers I'm using to find how far down they need to be seated (different brands of primers are different heights) as I want the firing pin to provide consistent strikes. That kind of consistency is probably not really needed for me, but it takes one thing out of the equation when trying to figure out what to do to improve my reloading results. As I coached in baseball, I taught control what you can control and forget about all the rest. ;)

But the pink and blue crap = tranny sympathizer/groomer


Noticed the blue and pink combo on the pants immediately. Those are troon colors. All the alphabet weirdos have done over the past 5 years with their aggressive 'propaganda overload' upon society has been providing normal and wary folks with a kind of Audubon field guide to the identification of venomous snakes...
