    Monolithic reciever

    Read an article about a monolithic reciever, not just a monolithic upper. It is basically a CNC produced billet combo of upper and lower to reduce play. Can't remember what company produces them. Any ideas?

    What the heck happened here...???

    Sorry took a while to post reply. **** work getting in the way of a perfectly good hobby... No handloads ever through this gun and this gun was fairly new with maybe 100 rounds through it. I like the theory the bullet may have pushed back but no powder in the action. However after dissection of...

    What the heck happened here...???

    The barrel looks to be intact no bulge, no obstruction. An obstructed barrel would cause a very different explosion and would not explain why the base of the case blew out. It was a remington stock gun with factory remington ammo. The gun was shooting off the bench at a range and previous shots...

    What the heck happened here...???

    Posting this for a friend but a lot of great minds here. Remington 700 .270 Win stock rifle. Remington stock 270 win ammo (not reloads). Had been functioning fine and shot several rounds from the same box of ammo prior to this one (with stock accuracy as expected). This round detonated...

    7mm wsm Berger data needed

    What is your twist rate? H1000 has been my choice and I just polished off an 8lb jug with no loss of accuracy in my 7/300

    Hand Depriming

    Several videos on YouTube showing it in action. I can confirm it is built really well. Just takes a bit to learn to feel where the flash hole lines up. Fits in my range bag and I deprime on the bench or the field and come home ready to tumble.

    Hand Depriming

    The Harvey deprimer is awesome. it just takes a little practice and you can establish a good work flow. I follow it up with stainless tumbling. Just a word of caution on lead poisoning by spent primers on the couch in front of the TV. You might inadvertently be exposing your entire family to...

    "Shooter" for Android Table Question

    Topshot, it can be error and/or the the scopes design. That is part of the beauty of this system. You can customize it for every scope you own. But 1.0 can mean a lot of things depending on the design of the software. I always verify each scopes true click value in the field at 100 yards.

    "Shooter" for Android Table Question

    Now we are on the the same page! Stands to reason that no correction would mean 1.047 and 1.08 would be closer to iphy. Let me know if you find the link.. Thanks

    "Shooter" for Android Table Question

    Yeah I read that too, but still don't think it answered my question (maybe I suck at phrasing the question:D). Should a scope with true MOA have this set on 1.0 or 1.047? Some scopes CLAIM 1/4 minute clicks, but the difference between shooter's MOA and True MOA is huge at long distances. My...

    "Shooter" for Android Table Question

    On same note, not a big fan of the wind feature since it seems to be upside down. However, on another note regarding the elevation correction feature, if I leave it at 1.0 (disabling this feature), does this mean the value used to calculate the dope is a true MOA (1.0471996 at 100 yards) or...

    brass weight sorting

    If you do get together some numbers I will runs some stats for you. Start with pm'ing me the weight and H20 capacities, then we can see if your chrony data is useable. These conclusions as mike eluded to are only relevant for this lot of brass, but useful and interesting. Powder compression...

    brass weight sorting

    A study of my chronograph data examining the effects of capacity and weight on velocity: Holding all other variables approximately equal (primer, seating depth etc), case weight only explained about 30-35% of the variation when examining velocity differences across the chronograph, while...

    brass weight sorting

    Case weight is relatively meaningless... be it a 1 or 5 grain spread! Your math actually helps the theory. You found a 2.2% spread in weight meant nothing:D

    brass weight sorting

    I'm no mathematician, but 1% of 235 grains is 2.3 grains.
