You need to get that thing installed already, post the pics of it, and send that damn wrench back... <lmao> Slacker.

Those Enduron powders are supposed to be the schit.

It looks so much like this, that it scares me... Please let us know how it does... http://www.armamentsales.com/enhancers.htm

How far out are these hogs going to be? What's the max distance that you'll engage a hog at?

Aaaaahhh... "Looky what I started..." I'm used to the Class III Section being at the bottom of this section. <dontknow> I now see what you did here. When I first saw this topic, I jumped in it, didn't see any suppressors, and thought "What the fuk is he posting this in the Class III Section for?..." <lmao> :banana:

Once I verify that my measure is dropping the same thing everytime, I'll weigh every 4th or 8th drop after that. If I'm making precision ammo, I'll weigh every one to make sure they're the same. Kinda depends on what I'm loading. Once the shell holder is full, and I'm about to seat the projectiles, I'll visually check the whole tray with a small lamp (leaning over the thing), and make sure everything looks damn near the same. You'll have a very hard time double-charging a .308 Win case, or a 5.56/.223 Rem case - they just won't hold a double charge.

Most look very good. Normal. Zero signs of pressure in most of them.

Yep, I know. I'm gonna run my hand all the way out at the end, just so I can show you a "burnt-hand pic." <lmao> 300BLK loads with 150gr projos and 16.1gr of H110, moving at 1800fps - shouldn't be too bad. Shouldn't be too much fireball and massive concussion. If it is, I'll just load up some heavyass subs and run them in it. I'll test some 220gr sub loads tomorrow, too. <thumbsup> Gas port diameter in this beast is 0.120". 9" barrel, pistol-length gas, 0.120" gas port.

Lube the two contact points on your hand priming tool, man. There's only two contact points between the lever and the ram - hit those with a dab of grease. It'll make priming a TON easier. Something I picked up on in one of your previous posts, but forgot to mention. Something about "two clicks" and your primer seats - that's resistance on the priming linkage making that noise, and it's wearing out your hand priming tool. See if that helps with these. Worth a shot.

Just wondered, brother, based on the "dent in the palm" comment. I'm using the one for the press, and couldn't figure out how that dented your palm... <lmao>

Ed, what other loads were you messing with before you loaded this batch? Clean your powder measure before you started this batch?

The only time I mess with primer pockets is crimped military brass. I swage them with the RCBS Swager 2 setup, and never have to mess with them again. I saw that blown primer in the first pic - that thing is BLOWN the fuk out! - and wondered why you were worried about that piece of brass in the second pic. My concern would have been that blown primer piece of brass, brother. In that second pic, that primer is flat as hell. That's an overpressure sign, as well as pierced primers, cratered primers, bulged case bases, ejector swipes, ripped rims from extractors...

Lake House Capital Management, LLC, is a company with an annual revenue of $120,000, and employs 2 people. Public information, easy to find. I find it suspicious.

Now, I told you guys this handguard was skinny... No kidding... Closer to "finished," but not quite yet. Range report tomorrow...

So, just to get it together, I slapped that .30-cal Ruger muzzle device on there - had that thing left over from the GSR. The real muzzle device wasn't in yet. However, it is here today... I went with the AAC Single Chamber Brake. Might sound odd, but that was all planned out. It only adds a little more than 1" to the barrel OAL, and I wanted to keep this thing short. If it's going to be a truck gun, then it's a good thing it's not 37" long, OAL. So, short was the key. Also, using a brake might sound crazy - but I don't want the front of this thing moving under recoil. Keep it flat, keep it on target. I don't care how loud it might be - not if it ever gets used for it's intended purpose. Loud = Don't Care. We'll see how loud it is in the morning...

Roman, you using the one that goes in your press?

I'll get some better pics, specifically of that handguard. I liked it when I shot it on beach's .308 G II - he has the Keymod version of it. It's very, very slim, at 1.5" OD, and every surface portion of it is extremely smooth. They rounded off all areas that could have been sharp edges. Very comfy to hold. <thumbsup>

I've got some of the Fight Light 5.56 pouches - I like them.

^^^ Yep. I keep saying I'm going to get that, but haven't yet. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=26484

Will DEFINITELY happen. <thumbsup> Already on the way. KAK tube for it - picked up the whole package from them. <thumbsup> Gettin' painted, too. .30 Caliber Truck Gun!!! :hethan:

^^^ I don't think there's enough distance there, to lose 1.5" from that, and still get a gas block in there. Even a short gas block.

Got most of the stuff in to assemble the 9" 300BLK pistol, so I tossed it together. Parts used: Ares Armor 9" 300BLK bare upper receiver set (assembled upper, barrel, standard barrel nut, gas block, gas tube). Midwest Industries 9" M-LOK handguard (MI SSM) BADASS Ambi Safety BAD ETP pin set BCM Gunfighter CH (large latch) The sights, BCG, muzzle device and pistol receiver extension are temporary, until those parts come in. Gets shot Tuesday morning.

Plug it into this: http://www.ontargetshooting.com/ Flyers count, by the way. You've got one per group, and that's just how you're shooting.

One long punch...
