    Vehicle hail damage question

    My best guess it that they will total it for the body damage. They may offer to let you buy it back, but it not, ask them if you can. If they say no, then find out who they are selling it to. There are two big companies that do auctions for totalled/stolen vehicles. It may take it a few...

    Weird looking brass

    Heavily fluted chamber to aid extraction? HK-91 or LaRue OBR with "xtraxn". (SVT-41 also in 7.62x54R)

    anybody else do this? (case lube and primer pocket cleaning novel ideas)

    When I occasionally clean primer pockets, I also use the uniformer tool. If using motor oil type fluid for lube when case sizing, how do you get it off? Toss the brass in a pot of boiling water a couple of times, or ???

    NOW I REMEMBER WHY I LOVE MY DILLON CARBIDE DIES

    DIY yourself a stuck case remover, if you already have a decent sized tap sitting around? Drill out the primer hole, tap/thread that hole, then use washers and a bolt with a wrench on it to exert tension against the bottom of the die to pull the case out

    Fake reloading supplies company? reloaderscenter.com

    But no Fed LR Magnum primers! A scam, as I doubt they have the 999 8lb bottles of Magpro that is in my cart for a cool 250K.

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    24.3gn of Ar-Comp with milsurp 62 gn steel core gave me right around 2750fps out of an 18” barrel. You should be able to go higher with lead core. I was surprised that the velocity was so low, as this is nearly the same speed as my 77gn load using Ar-Comp.

    Headspacing on 2 different AR barrels: need some input:

    Have you tried swapping a few bolts around to see if that would make the headspace closer together? Could be an easier option….

    OT: 300PRC and 6.5CM silencer recs

    Just got a TBAC Magnus (HUB mount) for use on my .300 Win Mag after doing the research, with the possibility of a .300 PRC rebarrel in the future. I’m very impressed with it. For the 6.5, it would be worth considering the Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen.

    Advice Needed

    Sell it as-is, but with the caution that is for component use only. You frequently see dented or blemished ammo on GunBroker listed that way.

    Night Vision IR illuminator for KN253

    You may not need any illuminator. Based on my limited experience in overcast skies and rain, out to 200yds, PVS-30 was fine without one For 1/4 size IPSC targets. Simrad should be even better.
