One person on the trust (that'll change when my last order comes in)

42 days after I started "the test" I got approval for my Masks and Primal. These are not the cans that I ordered March 2024. If nothing else the approvals have been consistently long coming. Well, I take that back. These came faster than previous cans. The Primal was ordered in January 2024 and...

The calipers are Starrett and Mitutoyo (new). Both read 4 decimal places but they don't claim .0001 accuracy. The pin gauges are precise. My 10ths mic is still packed away. That said, the readings I got are accurate. I was simply making the observation that even annealed Lapua brass will spring...

I sized some brass last weekend (like I always do) but didn't load them. I had 0.0030 interference based on my pin gauges. The brass sat on the bench, in a tray, and it now has 0.0050 interference (based on a pin gauge). My 10ths mic is stored so while my calipers agree with the pin gauge I...

Redding neck bushing sizing dies. Run a brush in the neck. New brass gets a dry lube. Expander mandrels (SAC). Check the id with a minus gauge pin, checking for spring back. Annealing minimizes spring back. I run a mandrel through, turn the brass, and run it through again.

pithy, aggressive barbs and beating on their own chests. Your mom's going to be mad at you for getting on the internet again...

300 yards with a brand new Remington 700 .308. I bought their new, back then, "triangle barreled" thing they called the VTR. It had pretty decent first and second round accuracy but once the barrel heated it up it would start to wander. I was a nervous wreck. Having come from bow hunting in the...

You're welcome. You said "He was showing that with good equipment and practice it's possible to shoot as well at long distance as it is at "normal" hunting distances and methods." He didn't demonstrate that in any way shape or form. He talked about it (I guess?). His targets didn't show me...

Nope... we didn't miss it, he didn't show it. Granted, I fast forwarded to the cringe part, but that doesn't matter. If you're going to put your "amazing talents proving how long range shooting is as easy as short range shooting" in a video and post it to the internet, don't fake recoil...

Out of curiosity I rearranged the sonic velocity equation to solve for temperature (deg F) and I got this (last row). I used the average velocity for the calculation so if you're close to or below the temperature shown you'll want a load with a tight ES. So what does it tell you? It tells you...

:D At least he "dialed his scope in" before he absorbed the massive recoil from that land cannon he's sportin.

Using open sites will get you more likes and subscribes :D

I have a few so maybe they figure that I can wait. This has already happened: Primal - Approved and shipped 12/31/22 Sandman L - Approved and shipped 12/16/22 Ghost 45M - Approved and shipped 12/16/22 Mask HD- Approved and shipped 12/29/21 Sandman L- Approved and shipped 12/29/21 This is...

I kind of wondered if it was just poor shooting skills rather than fake recoil reaction.

:confused: I couldn't watch. The initial narration followed by the side by side with the targets was too much. What exactly were we supposed to see? And his 200 yard groups sucked. I wonder if he'd have had a better trigger pull if he used a logging chain tied to the bumper of his vehicle. And...
