There’s been quite a few discussion about neck tension, neck lube, and some discussion on primer weight sorting too and SD
I have no answers but just questions for the experts here.

Do you suppose that there is a good relationship between getting good SD and neck tension/lube has to do with whether a primer by itself causes enough pressure to dislodge the bullet from the case and enter the rifling? Or by how deep it enters?

Suppose a primer does not always dislodge bullet from the case depending on neck tension, neck crimp, and neck lube. So a lighter hold on the bullet from the neck would result is more likely to dislodge bullet with just the primer, and a stronger neck hold results in more unlikely to dislodge. Then wouldn’t it be a good assumption that a middle strength hold on the neck results in inconsistency in dislodging?

Wouldn’t this inconsistency cause the SD to be higher due to different combustion characteristics?

Then all this discussion around SD in relation to neck tension, lube, crimp, primer weights etc really are trying to find a combo that creates a consistent release?

If so, would a consistent strong neck grip that is stronger than the primer alone can dislodge be about as good as one that consistently allows the release? Or would one be preferable to another? Why?

Is anyone out there after one of the New ODG color options for ZCO? We were discussing picking up a few at the shop, but some are skeptical if any will actually sell.

I think they are neat, but color is not something that usually influences my purchases.

Good evening gentlemen,

I’m looking for an aftermarket stock for my tikka supervarmint in 223 caliber. It’s going to be used mainly for FTR/Target shooting. I was leaning towards the Bell and Carlson Target stock CTR. I have a CTR bottom metal and mag to go with it. What’s your guys opinions on it and are there any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks gents

Got a terminus Zeus QC with about 900-1k rounds through it looking to trade for an impact in similar condition. I have a 1.25 6GT barrel I could include if you’re looking to swap barreled actions. I can PM pics if requested.

Looking for a set of 6x47 dies let me know what you got.
Would be interested in brass too

I picked up the New Bushnell 3-18 Match Pro, and when comparing it in a Side by Side to my Leupold MK5 3.6-18 IMO I'd say the clarity on the Match Pro is definitely better with less CA. The closest house to me is exactly 207 yards away and I can clearly make out the large Phillips head screws on his front door. The MP is brighter and seems to gather more light.

The Eye Box is extremely generous and the 15yrd parallax is very broad not anywhere near as sensitive as the MK5.

The illumination shake awake function is helpful. The Match Pro has some shared features with the MK5 such as the Rev indicator, Zero Stop, Locking Elevation, Caped widget.

The Elevation adjustment is just as Audible and tactile as the MK5 but the Match Pro windage is pretty quite but still tactile.

The Turetts are easier to read especially compared compared to that funky windage line the MK5 has. 40 Mils of Elevation, 14.5 Mils Windage for the Match Pro, Field of View at 3x is 41' at 100 yds and at 18x 6.8' . Has a very generous 3.9" Eye Relief.

I prefer a 34mm main tube over the Leupold 35mm because 98% of my optics are 34mm which I already have plenty options on hand for mounting.

I've had to send in Vortex, Nightforce, minox, Leupold, Burris..what shit show that was but never a Bushnell HDMR/DMR/Pro.

At only only 2oz heavier and half the price of the MK5 I feel like I've found the perfect SPR Optic. If the reliability is anywhere near as good as the Tactical Elite 3.5-21x50, it's a win.

If anyone is interested in me following up on this thread as I Stetch it out, let me know.

Hi

Fairly new to reloading, so assume I know nothing lol.

Reloading for a 6mm Dasher, and the dies I have other than the seating die are:

• Forster FL die (with expander ball)
• Redding neck size die with bushing

I have been told that the Forster FL die is over working the brass because it first contracts the neck and then expands it using the expander ball. It does have the removable expander ball. Is there a point in me getting a Redding FL sizing die with bushing? The idea is that I can remove the bushing and just do the shoulder with nothing to the neck, or if I need to size the neck, I can pop the bushing back in. OR, can I just remove the expander ball from the FL die and just do the shoulder + neck contract?

I do have a few questions regarding if and when I should be sizing the neck.
1. If my twice fired brass chambers without an issue, I am guessing that I don't need to bump the shoulders for any reason. Does this mean that I can just use my redding to size the neck and then seat the projectile? If I am not bumping the shoulder, do I even need to size the neck or can I just go straight to seating? (I am thinking not, as the neck might not adequately hold the projectile).
2. Is it recommended to get the mandrel die to expand the neck? If so, what would the steps look like? Will I be sizing the neck with the redding die (assuming I don't need to bump the shoulder), and then use the mandrel to expand? If I do need the bump the shoulder, my current Forster die also sizes the neck. Will the mandrel die be useful in this scenario?

Basically it comes down to if I should be getting the Redding FL die with bushing and/or mandrel die for neck expansion?

Thank you

Purchased to use in a LaRue Siete, but that rifle doesn't have a true 700 Action and the safety didn't work with it, so it was not a good choice. I sold the rifle a long time ago and now have a couple of 700 triggers that I don't need.

This is the only single stage trigger that I've ever liked. The curved trigger shoe feels a lot like the Accuracy International shoe.

And now she wants to run for politics after seeing her little face doing so much good

Here we go again. Every state has laws and enforces laws against abuse in institutional care. I know. I have spent untold hours testifying in District Courts and in Department of Labor hearings against employees who abuse clients in institutional care. People go to jail for committing these crimes. I know, cause my testimony has sent them there.

So, sure enough, the feds pass a law, thanks to that crusader of justice and the savior of the American Way, Paris Hilton, who’s claim to fame is spending untold millions of her daddy’s money to be promote herself as a play girl. That new law, creates YET ANOTHER Federal agency to duplicate state laws and state programs all paid for by you know who.

Also, as I understand it, one of the provisions of the federal spending bill that has been stopped was a $70,000.00 pay raise for the very people who were voting for it. (In case you are wondering that’s only $37,450,000.00 per year (Thirty-seven million, four hundred and fifty thousand dollars) of additional money we, as citizens have to pay out. )

My suggestion to President-Elect Trump. Work with the Republican Congress to eliminate every Federal agency and start over, adding only those agencies that do not duplicate state agencies. And use all that money to pay off the National Debt and give us all a tax break.
