    Military releases report on Sig M17/18 accidental discharge

    Nope, this is not a drop safety thing. This is a striker dropping all on it's own, while no human is even touching it thing. There are videos of this happening. You should see the reports for the M17 malfunctions in the Army, like rear sights flying off and hitting joes in the face, not to...

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    So I'm seeing that this can be narrowed to more likely improper primer seating and/or case fill. So the obvious first option is to of course change one thing at a time and test, which would be the case fill, then, if that batch doesn't change anything, test the primer seating . As for that...

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    I dropped the single stage triggertech special in there, and set the pull to about 1.75lbs? No other adjustments were made. The firing pins and springs are factory.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    I do seat with a frankford arsenal hand primer. That would cause intermittent hang fires? Are their holes big enough? Are they doing the ole' Lapua thing with the extra small holes?

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    If I did have some of this drag, is that an intermittent problem, or an every single time type of problem? During this session I shot 69 rounds, and I think 7 rounds did it. Five of the lowest powder charge, and 2 randoms that I forgot to record.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    I do. I pull the trigger, hear the pin fall and smack the primer, and right after that I feel the gun recoil/hear the report of the cartridge going off. There's definitely a delay.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    Gotcha. What confuses me is during that load ladder with the 150s, the lighter charge weights didn't hang fire. Was that dumb luck in your opinion?

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    No velocity yet. Though I do love the 34.2gr of Varget as it gave me a .14" shot group which I love.

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    I do what everyone on here always says to do and start low and work up from the manuals. In the last two load ladder tests, which total about 55 rounds, not a charge weight with varget went over 34.5 grains. Not a single hang fire. This is why I'm so confused...

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    Understood. I can guarantee it's not the headspace as I keep that pretty tight and measure every time. The insides of my bolts are clean, my pins polished, and I use really light machine oil on the pin and spring. It can't be that, as I have a little over a hundred rounds on these rifles and...

    Anyone know why I'm getting hangfires with H4350 in 6.5 Creed by chance?

    Switched from using Varget to H4350 for an experiment and now I'm getting hangfires in two different Rem700's with two different primers and bullets. Load 1 was virgin Alpha brass, 140 Bergers, w/ cci mag srp's, and load 2 was fire formed Alpha brass w/ 150 SMK's, and cci standard SRP's. The...

    Autotrickler V4 scale set up question

    I'm hearing people running their auto tricklers on grounded anti static mats to help with drift. How does that work exactly since the feet are plastic? If there's no real connection to the machine, how's it grounding it, and how's it dealing with the static?

    Accurate 4064 Loads?

    Anyone here experiment with Accurate 4064 in bigger cases? How different is it from IMR 4064? With slower burn rate powder, do you usually start with more or less?
