Captain's log- it's 12 DEC 2024 and my wife was right...

On kitchen knives.

We bought what I considered an obscenely expensive set of kitchen knives in November. Approaching custom 1911 prices expensive... well dang if I haven't changed my opinion of it being frivolous after using them for the past month or so.

I still think we grossly overpaid but dang if a set of quality kitchen knives don't just punch way above their price point/assumed influence. These things (for a lack of better words) fucking rock.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Primer pressure vs neck tension

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?

Tikka SV Aftermarket Stock

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

New purchase - MATCH PRO ED 3-18X50 RIFLESCOPE

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.

Neck size clarification

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

SOLD Timney Calvin Elite Remington 700 Adjustable 8oz-2.5lb

$200 shipped

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.
