Vehicle hail damage question

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.

300 WM

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!

9mm Lehigh 90gr Xtreme Defender and 115gr Xtreme Penetrator Loading

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.

New Norma primed brass
90gr Xtreme Defender
Power Pistol
1.105" COAL

6.0 - 1329 SD 9
6.2 - 1345 SD12
6.4 - 1369 SD 18
6.6 - 1385 SD 12

For comparison, factory ammo with same bullet...

Underwood 9mm
90gr Xtreme Defender
1400

Underwood 9mm
90gr +P Xtreme Defender
1475

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...

Longshot
1.10" COAL

5.1 - 1045 SD 14
5.3 - 1083 SD 24

For comparison, factory ammo with same bullet...

Underwood 9mm
115gr Xtreme Penetrator
1150

Underwood 9mm
115gr +P Xtreme Penetrator
1275


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.

Rechambering a burnt barrel

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
