I went out of town and my truck got hammered during an overnight hail storm. Golf ball sized hail damage to every surface of the damn thing.

I'm familiar with how the process works on the property side, but not auto. Specifically, the threshold of repair vs. totaling a vehicle. I don't know how much damage paintless dent removal can repair. I'm not sure the process works of totaling a vehicle and options to buy it back from the insurance carrier.

I filed a claim and I'm waiting on the adjuster appointment.

Any insight or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I got this in a trade I didn't have a chance to shoot it but it functions and looks complete seller I got it from said it shoots sub moa. Its an HK91 modded to be a PSG1 Clone. It includes the original parts to return it to stock which are also in fantastic shape considering the age of this rifle. Its highly collectible and in very nice shape just not really an HK guy myself. Comes with loads of mags the HK cleaning kit and a very nice fully functioning Zeiss optic. I'm open to offers and partial trades. Trades I'm interested in are clone rifles of all kinds, AI stuff ideally an AWM or a .300 and up AI. .338+ caliber rifles such as Barrett. Sale price $7,500 $7,000 shipped from me to your FFL located in MT. Thanks

Been wanting a better mile gun. Always had good luck with my savages for just a bench gun. Looking at the 110 tactical in 300WM for $650. 24” barrel with a 1:10 twist.

Would like to eventually rebarrel with a 26-30” in future with a 1:8 or 1:9 twist.

Gun would probably only get 100 rounds a year fired down range so cost of ammo is not an issue. For a budget minded individual does this seem like a reasonable way to go? Already have a 6.5cm that have reached out to a mile on low wind days. Thoughts? Ammo choices for 1:10 twist? I do not reload so looking at factory offerings.

Thanks guys!

Have a like new, timer holder, match saver and a vert 2 grip all for $65 shipped.

Ive been reading a lot about these 2 bullets lately. More so the 9mm Lehigh Defense 90gr Xtreme Defender loaded by Underwood in their 9mm 90gr +P Xtreme Defender ammo..

I also have been reading the crazy penetration the 9mm +9 115gr Xtreme Penetrator ammo for hiking/fishing/backwoods carry that penetrated over 30" in gel..

I decided to grab 200 of each to play with and see how they performed out of my guns..

I used Lehigh's Load Data page as a starting point. I decided to start with Power Pistol under the 90gr Xtreme Defender and Longshot under the 115gr Xtreme Penetrator.

All loads were loaded in new factory primed Norma 9mm brass that I ran through my Dillon carbide sizing die (no decapper pin) then run into my Mighty Armory 9mm flare die.

I fired everything at 10yd standing (no rest) over my Garmin Xero out of my SIG P320 Daniel Horner with DPP.

Top end charges are right there with the Underwood standard pressure ammo with good accuracy. I have to work up a little more or switch to a different powder to get the Underwood +P velocity of 1475..... Doing some research, Underwood uses Silhouette in their ammo....

Its crazy how there was virtually zero recoil with all of these loads. Shot great, and zero recoil. I may switch from my go to 147 HST factory load to these 90gr Xtreme Defenders. The wound channel is nasty on the testing Ive seen and penetration is 18" meeting FBI requirements...

These Underwood charges were underwhelming in speed and accuracy... Im going to bump charges up a little bit and also probably try a different powder. I want to match the 1275 Underwood +P velocities with excellent accuracy to make this my new hiking/ fishing load where brown bears arent present and can carry a 9mm vs my 10mm...

Penetration testing Ive seen shows 30" of penetration with this Underwood factory load which is awesome.

Considering getting a FX120i and manually throwing powder and trickling up. Was considering a rcbs chargemaster supreme but I believe the fx120i would be more precise and leave me options for upgrading in the future. If you do something similar post pictures of your setup.

Hi

What are your opinions on rechambering a barrel that has been burnt out?
On the range, someone suggested that a burnt barrel can simply be rechambered and used again, of course setting it back an inch or so.
Someone else also mentioned that it's not worth it since the rest of the barrel (beyond chamber) is used up as well.

I haven't switched barrels yet and this would be the first, so I thought I'll gather views before going with it.

It'll be for 6 Dasher and a 284.

Thank you
