Maggie’s What's Your View II

[canman]

I always post the same old view of the rifles on the deck after shooting. A different perspective today after I finished. It shows how far I walk to shoot. That slider leads into the kitchen. It’s nice when it gets super cold as you can just step inside to warm up frozen fingers. I’m spoiled rotten.

Spoiled... I don't know about that. You work...but you are lucky as hell,that's for sure. But that luck probably takes 10 or 12 hours a day to keep.

 

[Threadcutter308]

That’s true. We’re self made middle class ?.
I was afraid Tucker would give me a home maintenance scolding for not getting the deck treated this fall. I promise it will be done in the spring.

What a coincidence, self made middle class here too. Although, we get in trouble shooting off our back decks in NW Washington.....
Don't worry about any scolding, he probably still has leaves on the ground

I find him to be a little more charitable this time of year.

I shoot off the back patio... got a round loaded at lunch today to check fit and function of the new 284 shehane. I wish I had a backyard like @tnichols buy I have to drive to shoot more than a couple quick rounds for load testing...

Very interesting Mag. Would you mind posting up a pic of the Mag unloaded ? I'm really curious about the follower.....

175eldx

I’ll grab one after dinner. It’s a magpul long action magnum mag

The front of the follower looks like it's close to being cut with a chambering reamer, but I'm sure it's not. Dimensionally, it's pretty nice looking. Is it anything special, or a standard ?

 

[bullseye13]

175eldx

Wow. What kind of velocities are you expecting?

Standard. Comes with their bottom metal.

 

[Geno C.]

Not sure yet. Should be about 2900ish when they’re formed with 180 hybrids

 

[Geno C.]

Here you go

 

[Geno C.]

A couple guys already know but I grabbed some Wisconsin made brass to give them a fair shake. Reasonable price if they make what you need

 

[Threadcutter308]

View attachment 6984571Here you go

Looks really nice. Have you had any quality time with the rifle/combination ? Any feeding issues ? (I wouldn't think so.....)

 

[tnichols]

A 180 class 6.5 doing 2900ish = YUMMY ?

 

[tnichols]

Depends on the time of year, but it sure can. Right now, we’re froze up and snow free so I’m loafing...and enjoying it ?

I’ve only put the one round through it so far. Fed fine...

 

[Geno C.]

7mm

 

[tnichols]

7mm

Ooooh. For some reason I thought it was a 6.5x284. None the less, that’ll still be like cheating ???

 

[Geno C.]

No doubt!! Berger 6mm 105 hybrid on the left and 30 cal 210vld on the right. The 175eldx is supposed to hang with the 180 hybrids I have coming

 

[Threadcutter308]

I would enjoy seeing a crow debris field on that pristine white snow though.

The Children, think of the Children........If they saw that, the horror might turn them into SJW's......Can't have that, now can we ?

(What time does Tuck's Range go hot ? )

 

[S Roche]

7mm

What are you going to powder it with?
I like that bullet....long bearing surface.

 

[Geno C.]

H4831sc is generally considered the best choice

 

[bullseye13]

I'll bet 4350 would be great as well. R19 has always been fantastic in calibers like that but temp sensitivity sucks.

 

[Geno C.]

4350 is a second choice for a lot of guys but 4831 is number one. There’s been a couple guys running rl16 lately too.

And who needs another caliber that eats 4350?!!!

 

[Geno C.]

Frames are powder coated. These will be the new taillights. We’re changing light style so I have to drill a 2-1/8” hole for the new ones. Takes a fancy pilot hole jig since there was already a 1” hole there. ?

 

[2ndamendfan]

Just another way to skin a cat.

 

[Geno C.]

Just another way to skin a cat.

I’ve tried it that way before. Works good if the original hole fits the undersized hole saw. A big ass step drill bit would be sweet!

this is what’ll do for this job

 

[2ndamendfan]

Yea big step drill would be nice. Biggest I could find is 1 1/8".

You probably have cut way more holes than I have, but have you ever tried Lenox hole saws ? They tend to be more expensive, but they have outlasted everything everything else I have ever used.

I do ALOT of metal work and anymore all I buy are carbide hole saws and even sawzall blades. They are the cats ass.

Do they hold up when hand drilling ? No cracking/breakage ? Obviously, sawzalls are for hand cutting, but per what you've said, they do seem to hold up.

Yeah they hold up well. Night and day difference with the cut. I just buy the carbides as the the regular ones fail.

 

[bullseye13]

Or you can make your own.?

 

[Geno C.]

I’ve never tried one of the carbide hole saws. I’d imagine they are as badass the the sawsall blade though. If you ever need to cut some steel with a sawsall, do yourself a favor and grab a diablo carbide blade!! Damn near as fast a plasma cutter!

 

[Geno C.]

Oh shit!!! I just looked and Diablo and starrett both make them?

 

[bullseye13]

I've used diablo and Milwaukee blades.

Think I saw that Greenlee makes the adapter center for double holesawing. Know it was in this month's flyer from the electrical supply house

Those are fine for thin tin boxes. But this is 3/16 steel

Any questions just ask.

 

[THEIS]

Still trying to figure out how things work around here

Hi,

Most important thing to figure out lolol.....

There are basically 2 different forums.....
The bear pit and Maggies is its' own forum within itself. What goes on there typically MUST stay there.
While the other sections of the forum are the more serious sections and protected from the Pit antics.

Secondly....
You will learn quickly as to who is the "go to" for certain questions, things, etc.
This forum is unlike the vast majority of them on the www, there are a lot of knowledgeable members with vast experiences in pretty much anything firearm related (And even non firearm related lol). There is not a firearm question that cannot be answered by members of this forum.

Theis

Hi,

I was thinking more along the lines of having it deploy from the chimney so it can rotate for more coverage
