I'm curious too. I did notice that the triggerguard piece doesn't really sit flush in the stock. It rocks back and forth between the 2 action screws. Not sure if that factored into it.
Yeah, after my disappointment faded, I came to the same conclusion. I called Beretta and the warranty will require the entire rifle to go in and won't happen for 5+ weeks. I don't have a backup rifle that will work for the class so I just decided to buy another stock. Kind of a bummer because...
Rifle is a Tikka T3X UPR chambered in 6.5CM. I just noticed a crack in the stock behind the bolt and have sent in a warranty claim. I have only put a couple hundred rounds through this rifle. Mix of factory 140/147 ELD-Ms and I also did some ladder testing of 147 ELMs over H4350 the other...
Sure, there are many different ways to do it. I probably wouldn't do a 24" barrel between centers but I have never needed to. I have put barrels through the headstock before which was the reason I got the 10L in the first place but I find it easier to do it between centers. Most of the barrels...
You absolutely have to do it on centers if it's for a suppressor and that either means a nice chuck (and spider) or using a dog and live center which is how I like to do it if the barrel is short enough. It took me years of learning before I felt comfortable chucking a barrel up and threading...
Yeah, that was on me. I asked her the day before (Fri) if she wanted to go see it the next day, got sidetracked all day Saturday and then about 7:30 she says "Weren't you taking me to the movies?". No way I was backing out of that one.
I saw it with the wife over the weekend. I thought it was OK but IMO for the $50 price tag including popcorn, it would be worth the wait for it to end up on a streaming service.
It will depend a little on the gun and barrel but generally between 100 and 150. I have a South Bend heavy 10 and have threaded barrels in the past but at the cost and quality of what is out there, I will probably never thread another barrel. Of course the form 1 stuff is still easier to do...
I'll do another round and get some primer pics. I went with Peterson based on recommendations for the most consistent brass. It seemed to come down to them or lapua. The Peterson has an SRP option and given the scarcity of LRPs at the moment, I went with Peterson.
I did a ladder of 5 round groups from 40.2 grains of h4350 up to 42 in .2 increments. Hornady lists a max of 40.3 while hogdon lists a max of 41.8. Hornady lists that for bullets from 147 grain to 153 which may explain the difference.
I had no problems closing the bolt. Every round fed nice and easy. I'll take a look at my extractor and bolt but the weird thing is I loaded up 50 rounds in nosler brass previously although I loaded 140s instead of 147s but no marks. Is it possible Peterson is softer?
Do these marks look like overpressure? I have them on several pieces of peterson 6.5 CM brass. I didn't see it when I was shooting - I just noticed after a clean and inspection. I did have a small amount that were .2 over max but I have these marks on many more that would have been under max...
Thought the same thing perusing CNN this morning.
It's missing now but there was another bullet this morning something like "Analysis: Why do people miss the Trump-era economy?"
And let's not forget this one:
