Left over money ????? Even if you plagiarised some one else's design the idea you would have money left over from the cost of an amp unit is amusing.

Origiinal goal The original goal with annealing was to extend the life of the brass which has not only increased in cost over the years but it also takes time to prepare. So even if the accuracy didn't increase due to consistency, which it might not , I would still anneal just to extend the...

Been there Yeah Greg I've been there. But on one occasion when I swore blind that the new batch of powder or bullets were not playing the game I handed the rifle to a shooter who can usually beat me any time they feel like it. He shot a couple of groups under the same conditions using the same...

Proof Proof of anything working or not working in BR is for the most part unobtainable. Some things can be proven because using something like IMR 4831 simply wouldn't be a suitable powder for a cartridge like a 6mm PPC. The reason obtaining proof is so difficult is because there are simply...

I have to agree Doing the testing was going to be my next question. Even if I bought the necessary equipment to do the metallurgical testing and then learned how to use it, it would still take a lot more time and money than purchasing the AMP unit. A friend of mine on the other side of our...

Amp I bought an AMP unit. All the testing and programs were done. IMO that alone was worth the cost.

Hearing loss Although this may be a little off topic I thought I would bring the subject up. One of my cousins is an audiologists. During a conversation with her I mentioned ear muffs protecting our hearing from muzzle blasts. At one point she dropped a bombshell no pun intended. The most...

Your assumption correct Before my father passed from complications from parkinson's disease he developed the same sound. He called it squeaky wheels. He didn't have tinnitus at all. The ENT told us it was due to his overall cardiovascular health.

I beg to differ I beg to differ. As an industrial photographer I have often had to take photographs high above the ground on derricks, towers and the like. The ground wind in many cases was non-existent with a wind of 25mph 90 ft off the ground. 10 minutes later it can be blowing in the...

Lets see Lets see what kind of a group I could shoot even at 200 yards when I position my flags that far above the ground. After all the winds aloft are related to those I am experiencing at ground level.

I rest my case I rest my case.With no wind indicators at 350yds above the line of sight the enemy just had a bad day.

What I can't see anyone What I can't see is any one calculating is the effects of the wind that the bullet has to fly through. At the top of its arc it would be at least 35 to 40 feet above the line of sight. If you climb to the top of a structure that high you'll find there is wind even when...

When I shoot When ever I have managed to shoot a group where the first decimal place is a zero I can thank good equipment, Good load development, accuracy in reading the wind flags and divine intervention or as we aussies call it good old bloody luck. If it wasn't then there is no reason I...

Some luck Some luck I would say a hell of a lot of it. When you know how many intervening variables come into play. I would like to see these guys shoot an agg at that range and see what it measured.

It ain't a comp rifle Perhaps you miss interpreted the photo. This isn't a competition rifle. It's just a accurate bunny buster. Yep I lug all 13 1/2 pounds of it out into the field. Call me mad maybe but I am a BR shooter.

222 and 2015 Attached is the 222 I built a little while ago on a rem 700. The best 2015 load was 22.5gn with 52gn copperhead bullets. Fed 205 primer with the bullet just on the lands. 3290fps. Was able to small group it into the high .1's

A friend is sending a set of bullet swaging dies back to a tool maker because they have been worn. Not sure if they are tungsten or not. He is getting them reworked. How in the hell is reworking the dies going to add material back to them so that in effect they are not worn. My thoughts turn to...

3 months minium My ophthalmologists told me after having laser surgery that 3 months minimum is required before we will know if you need any more. According to my physician a BG haemoglobin test will show up the last 3 months of BG variation. A lot of bodily functions occur on a 3 month cycle...

Thanks TRA Thanks for that TRA. The compatibility issues were the real fly in the ointment. This looks like the way to go. It wouldn't matter which tool maker received this.

Just wondering if any one knows of some software that will allow you to design a chamber reamer. So that the digital file can be given to a tool maker as is. Google hasn't been able to point my mouse in the right direction.
