Ok, this is close to an idea I had. Someone needs to get in Caulkins’ ear and sell him on the final sequel “Home Alone 50.” This is a serious, gritty movie, that ends in a heartwarming reunion after Kevin, age 50 and estranged from his wife and son after serving in Special Forces and dealing with PTSD. His son is abducted and between the efforts of both father and son and their flat refusal to quit, obviously involving clever problem solving and traps, they reunited. Because obviously Kevin’s son will be a hellion. I figure you can role some “Ransom of Red Cheif.” You could even have a realistic intro to Having getting the help he needs and returning to his family.

I’d test the water to find out what’s in it, most filters don’t remove heavy metals. The quality of the water depends on the quality of the air. Stuff in the air lands on the cooling coils and the condensation pulls it off.

I got out shooting today! I tested my hastily worked up (but carefully made) 6.5 Creed handloads and I am delighted with the results. I didn’t get to send that many down range but the two careful groups (circled in red) are encouraging. The middle group started strong (the three rounds by the orange circle) but the rain started pouring and visibility went down for the last two, but even with those “flyers” the group is not much more than a minute (minute or minute of angle/MOA ≈ 1”@100 yards) the second group was even better, well under a minute. The second group’s bullet holes look goofy and looks taller than it is because the rain soaked the cardboard and it started to sag backwards but the group is 1.2 inches as pictured which is 0.86 MOA! If you’re just reading for fun, a gun that shoots 1 MOA is shooting very well.
Two 5 round groups aren’t statistically significant but show this load and gun may shoot very well. I’m hopeful my hunting loads will perform roughly as well as this batch.
These groups were shot prone, off a bipod, with a sand sock, and without a time limit. My group size will open up significantly as I shoot from other positions but that means the gun is more accurate than I am AND if I need to take a dead-nuts shot, proned out then I’m shooting a system that can do it.
What is happening for you at the range?
I ranged the target at 137 yards and was shooting ammo I referenced here:

I’m very impressed with the Tikka T3x. I don’t understand how they are getting this much performance out the door for as little as they cost. I was shooting sub minute out to almost a 140 yards today. Good barrels, nice triggers, decent mags. I need an adjustable cheek piece to shoot my best with them but there are lots of ways to solve that problem.
I’m a fan of the 308’s versatility but the 6.5 Creedmoor is growing on me.

Awesome. What things are you wanting to do with your bolt gun?

2024-06-16 07:30:17

Back to making ammo. I’m getting started on resizing my 1x fired brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Thinking back, I wish I had annealed all the brass before starting. It behaves very differently and better after annealing it.
For bolt guns I full length size with an S-Type die. I’m shooting for 0.004” headspace and using the Redding competition shell holders. They are staged in 0.002” increments and really speed up both finding the right headspace and setting up the press for consistent headspace between batches. You can do this without but competition shell holders are way faster and I’m glad I spent the money on them. Next step is trimming.

I think that is his point but he sense to be making it by saying the population in question commit more crime.
The fact is, they do but “color” is incidental. Poverty is a better predictor of criminal activity. There may be an intentional dimension to the oppression of the poor but I see other factors with greater explanatory power in accounting for disproportionate law enforcement contact.

2024-06-07 21:11:45

I wet tumbled my brass using a Harbor Freight rock polisher, triangular media with dish soap and citric acid (just a good pinch). I tumbled the brass for an hour. The chip media is a lot more aggressive than the pins and cleans quickly and over tumbling is a thing. I dump the brass/media into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse. I then dump it into the media separator (Frankford Arsenal) which is the blue thing in the five gallon bucket which I have filled with warm water and armor all wash and wax (very cheap soap). After I separate the media out I dump the brass back in the strainer and rinse them off. Then I put them on a towel in the oven to dry off.
What questions do you have about this process and our equipment? How would you do it?

Decapped my 1x fired brass. I’m using an old “The Precision Reloader” press and a Lee universal decapping die. Depriming brass is dirty and leaves carbon debris on the press (I’ll post a picture below). I’d rather not have an abrasive like that getting caught up in the ram of my nice press so I keep dirty work on my The Precision. Next step is cleaning the brass. I know some f-class shooters don’t but I’m not introducing variables/new practices while I’m working up a load.
What are your thoughts on depriming and cleaning, especially for hunting and precision?
