NOBODY is talking about THIS!!! NOBODY!!! This happened yesterday. 26 Apr 23. You WILL NOT see this reported in the MSM, ANYWHERE. I had to find this, based on knowing when the hearing date was - yesterday...

I love that number! This is where I see this "numbers" introduction going, rapidly. Maybe it's just me, I dunno...

15+ ?!!? You serious?! We had more than 15 at the last Spring. Falls have been running 25-ish people in camp... That's not including day-visitors... More meat... More work...

I'm with him ^^^... Just don't swing your purse at me...

Run 'em. Stop being the engineer, and run the gun. It's all theoretical - until you pull the trigger.

I just wanna know the fucker that's already got the original MC2 already taken...

For this topic, as an Intro Post, I just can't resist doing this... I'm handicapped by my own Natural Immaturity. Don't hold it against me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW9YZcn8Tik

I love numbers. 0.0012214. Gas port volume on the 20" .260 Rem gun with a rifle gas system, 0.750" journal diameter, and almost=proper recoil system (buffer lighter than 5.4oz, coming in at 5.15oz). 0.0015644. Gas port volume on the 18.5" .308 Win gun with a rifle gas system, 0.936" journal diameter, and proper recoil system. 0.0010569. Gas port volume on the 18" 7mm-08 gun with rifle gas system, 0.750" journal diameter, proper recoil system - and it doesn't work. 0.0014822. Gas port volume on the 18" 7mm-08 gun with rifle gas system, 0.750" journal diameter, proper recoil system - and it works like a CHAMP! There's a pattern here. Numbers are great. Use math when it's to your advantage.

That's why it's easy to make someone better, when they come out here to shoot. We always have some kind of wind, and you have to deal with it. The only thing you can always count on for wind calls here, is the mirage. Distance is good, open terrain usually isn't, unless you have the high ground - common "scrub brush" can be 10 feet high, and if you can get a target in some clear ground, it's usually in a "hole" through visible brush - so you can get screwed on spotting impact splash, routinely. "Hit, don't miss... I can't spot splash on that one..." It's always an adventure - and you can learn something new every single day out here. Worst day ever turned into the best day ever, for training... Set up the 850 for 5.56 heavies, run 'em. Got the target emplaced early - and the wind kicked up. 14.9mph full value wind, we shoot 271* to target (due west), and the wind was hard from due south. Someone said, "Let's just call it, pack up..." Hell no, we're shooting, until we get it - the wind was a blessing. I learned that day, that THAT wind at 850 was a 5 3/4 mil wind hold, to get that gun on target. Very first shot was straight up hold, and it went 50 yards right of the target, by the spotters estimation. Let's figure this out, then... The desert is a blessing. And it's a curse. You just gotta manage it.

Bruen will crush this, there's no other way around that. However... time... This shiit takes time to get spanked down...

Aero got in as well, and here's their announcement of joining the class action lawsuit against the state: AERO PRECISION TO TAKE PART IN LAWSUIT AGAINST WASHINGTON AWB April 26, 2023 Tacoma, WA - Due to the passage of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Governor Jay Inslee signing it in to law on 4/25/23, Aero Precision has filed a lawsuit in conjunction with several other plaintiffs to combat this overreaching legislation, seeking temporary and permanent injunction based on the unconstitutionality of this law. The case was filed on 4/25/23 in the Eastern District of Washington, U.S. District Court. Plaintiffs include Aero Precision LLC , Amanda Banta (2012 Olympian Sport Shooter), Sharp Shooting Indoor Range & Gun Shop, The Range LLC, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The complaint is filed against defendants Robert W. Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington State, and John R. Batiste, Chief of the Washington State Patrol. “We do not agree with this law and we do not think it is constitutional,” said Scott Dover, CEO of Aero Precision. “HB1240 bans some of the most common firearms and parts available. It impacts the lawful ownership of products we manufacture and sell to thousands of our customers in the State of Washington. It also restricts the rights of the individuals, Aero Precision employees, who make these parts. We will fight this law in the courts and are confident in the outcome given the clear rulings in multiple Supreme Court cases, including Heller and Bruen.” About Aero Precision Aero Precision is a firearms manufacturer based out of Tacoma, WA. Aero Precision has been in business in Washington since 1994, originally starting in the Aerospace industry. Today, Aero Precision is the largest firearms manufacturer in Washington, employing roughly 650 employees in Washington and over 200 in other areas around the US. Aero Precision manufacturers AR Parts and Components, Bolt Action Rifles, Suppressors and more. Full Lawsuit Linked Here.

Well, they did it. It went official yesterday. Here's the email I got from Rainier Arms... Rainier Nation, The time has come that sadly we knew would arrive with our current political environment. Washington HB1240 has been the subject of many conversations, emails, videos and likely affected some decisions you may have made recently. Today, we are forced to cease all sales of the newly prohibited firearms, parts and lower receivers that are listed by this legislation to all Washington State residents. We have spoke about the deadline approaching for the last several weeks, and that time has come. We are frustrated, angered, and saddened by the progress of this bill which we feel ultimately prohibits you from exercising your constitutional rights. Many have asked what can be done and what we are doing about this? We encourage everyone to become involved by contacting your elected officials, volunteer for organizations, and support those that are fighting this in our legal system. Rainier Arms has been a champion for the firearms community and will continue to donate, support and provide resources to advocate for Washington, and all of our community, to secure their rights of firearms ownership. This is a sad day for Washington. While this news is not what we ever wanted to have to report, we are also thankful for the strong partnerships in our industry. Our staff, who worked countless overtime hours and extra shifts, expressed their appreciation for the support and patience of the customers that visited our storefront during this wave of events. Many of our vendors stepped up to provide us extra inventory and rushed delivery so we could ensure transfer to as many Washington residents as possible. Aero Precision, POF USA, and Daniel Defense. Those companies stepped up and went above and beyond during these times, we cannot thank them enough for their support. Many have asked what now, what is Rainier Arms going to do? For now, we are going to continue to move forward. Our leadership team is working to determine all of what parts of our business will be impacted, need to change and how to continue. As these actions happen we will let you know, so stay tuned. Know this, our foundation is solid, and our drive to pursue our passion has never been fueled stronger. -Team Rainier

Isn't that the same pic he posted in a completely different thread?

The variable that needs adjusting is going back to your old load that worked great, and showed no pressure signs. The variable you introduced was this GRT tool. I don't see why you're relying on it so heavily, and changing everything just because of it. Get rid of it.

Here is Sprinco's store site, which is separate from the information, main website. This is where they're pimping the Orange spring for severely overgassed AR15s, and they include an extractor spring with the Orange spring: https://sprinco-com.3dcartstores.com/Tactical-Springs-LLC-M4-CAR-15-EXTRA-EXTRA-POWER-Carbine-Spring-Reliability-Kit-in-Hard-Tube-Includes-EXTRA-EXTRA-POWER-Moly-Plated-Chrome-Silicon-Buffer-Spring-ORANGE-Extra-Power-5-Coil-Chrome-Silicon-Bolt-Extractor-Spring-_p_719.html

Well, get some stuff in the mail, and build those things...

Height over bore (optic) is the big one, or everything else that you input is just garbage in/garbage out. JBM Ballistics can solve all of this for you, and it's what I use. Dope sheet for every distance gun that I have, it's printed, laminated, and in a specific pouch on the chest rig. https://jbmballistics.com/ballistics/calculators/calculators.shtml Here's some of the details, from the 16" 6 ARC:

Bullet trace is hard out here in the desert, because you have to have humidity to see trace. Sometimes we'll have it, many times we don't. It's great to work with trace, and makes the spotter's life easy - but there are times out here where there's no way we'll see any trace that day. Speaking of trees and grass, for wind calls - we don't have much of that, either... We're screwed for distance... Every bush is dried up and stiff, trees don't move, because they're just giant bushes... Grass? What?... We rely on mirage 95% of the time. Read the mirage. It's amazing how accurate it can be, and how relatively easy it is to pick up doing it. There's almost always wind out here, too, so you have to pick that shiit up fast. Basically, it sucks shooting distance out here.

Make another class on how to spot? If that's what you're asking, we can add that easily, brother. #1 thing, is know your shooter. Does your shooter want only corrections? Or, does your shooter want impacts? That's a very big thing, and depends on what you call for them. He/him/she/her. Shim. Which is both. Trying to be all "inclusive" here... We can definitely add that - and it's a great idea to do that.

Damn good news -let 'er RIP!

Damn... That's big enough for a "Granny Pod" right there... This was on Drew, completely. He started The Rule sometime around 2011 or 2012... It's rarely been able to be invoked - but when it CAN be invoked, it's usually expensive... This is it: Here is THE RULE: "If you post, inquiring about a product, be it new or old, and no one responds with a review within 48 hours, you are hereby required to buy said product, and review that product, so that this rule doesn't apply to the next person with the same inquiry. "The Rule" shall not apply to the announcement of new or upcoming products, unless there is some context inquiring as to who will be the first to assume ownership of said product. At that point "The Rule" will once again apply to the poster, who will be obligated to be the first in the stated question. While this shouldn't need to be stated, pictures are required, or that s*** didn't happen."

Alright, grab the popcorn... Crimping 101. These are old pics, because I intended to do this post a long time ago. The info is pertinent, and I've been slacking for way too long. These are from early December, loading up some 6 ARC. ALL of this data is only useful if your brass is trimmed to the same length. ONLY. If your brass is shorter, you'll have less of a crimp. If your brass is longer, it will give you more of a crimp. With that, your load performance will vary, rounds will be all over due to slightly different pressures, and you hate yourself when you can't or don't figure it out - brass that's the exact same length is the key to running a batch of loaded ammo through your crimp die. If your brass isn't the same length, you're just pissing into the wind making test rounds... Okay, now that the Public Service Announcement is out of the way, let's look at it... Here's the 6 ARC Lee Factory Crimp Die just making contact with the brass case. This is how far it's open, which is standard, just what it looks like. It's just barely screwed down to touch the brass... Now, here's where I have it set to, what I like to crimp to in order to run loaded rounds through a gas gun. This is dialed down to where I like it, and the ram handle is all the way down - this is the crimp I like, with these dies - almost touching, not quite, just enough to prevent bullet setback, every single time: Here's that crimped round, from above, compared to an uncrimped round: Here's a little closer view - notice that there are no 4-corner marks from the Lee Factory Crimp Die - I'll have an example of "too much crimp" in a second. This is just a better view of those same two rounds above: Now, here's that round on the left above (uncrimped) after I crimped it, and set it back beside the round on the right that was already crimped: NOW... we have a 3rd round - far right in the pic. IMHO, this is too much crimp. You can see that it's pressed in there pretty far, and this would deform the projectile's copper jacket, if you pulled it and looked at it. Now, what effect would that have on the loaded ammo? Too much crimp WILL change your chamber pressure, very slightly. It's not anywhere close enough to blow up your gun, or anything that serious. BUT - that round above that's crimped tighter than the rest - it's gonna have a higher chamber pressure, and it's gonna fly somewhere else on the intended target. It's gonna be "that flier" in your group that you were shooting. It doesn't mean you're gonna blow your gun up, and it doesn't mean that your loads suck. It just has a different crimp on it, it's tighter, and it's gonna have a different (higher) chamber pressure, and you'd see a higher velocity from it if it was going through a chronograph. And, it's gonna land on that load-development zero target in a different place. That one is one of your "fliers." #1 reason that you'll think your loads suck, even when you're doing everything "right?" - you didn't trim your brass to the same length, and when you crimped those loads, they all got a different crimp. Of course they're gonna be all over, and not give you tight groups... Glad I found these pics. Thus Endeth the Crimping Sermon...

I have another one of his that I'll start a separate topic on, you'll see why. It's pretty fucking good.
