OK, I understand what you were referring to now. While I agree that leaving a bullet stuck in the rifle when ejecting a loaded round is inconvenient, I can't classify it as "very dangerous". It is not like you can follow up with a live round. As for your caliper measurements, it is problematic to measure the I.D. like that. Not the right tool for the job. I would expect the bore diameter (which the comparator insert should be) to be .300. The .2955 is close. The groove diameter should be .308. the comparator is designed to measure the bore diameter (top of lands), it is not just a reference point.

What is your definition of "sticking a bullet in the lands"? While I would not use it for hunting loads, seating into the lands is pretty common practice for many forms of competitive target shooting...

These numbers can vary depending on cartridge, but gives some relative comparisons. https://forum.accurateshooter.com/attachments/temp-burn-chart-png.1191470/

SDs are typically in the 7-8 fps range for 20+ shots as measured at the 1000 target face with my e target. I stuck with the standard weight pin and 24 pound spring in the 40x. Glad you were able to get your 40x sorted out.

Can't see the picture very well as I am on my cell phone and out of town. I'll have to check in a couple of days. I have well over 3000 hot small primer Palma loads thru my 40x Palma .308 with no blanking issues and factory pin. 5000 plus thru my M70, but did have the pin bushed on it. It's now my back up rifle with a fresh Obermyer on it. Plenty of better wind readers than me, but I did earn my long range High Master card at 1000 yards with a .308, 155s and irons. Scopes are a crutch😉.

It is! To easily get competitive velocities with 155s in a Palma rifle along with long case life is great. Not oversizing brass and having a die matched to a tight reamer is not difficult. Not sure I understand what you are alluding to with your "law of inertia" comment. Firing pin bounce? Sounds like you get a lot of use from your UBR brass, that's fantastic. What are your thoughts on the smaller flash holes such as in the Lapua Palma brass for example?

I see the advantage in a substantially increased case life with my .308 brass.

Thanks, will it also eject a fired 2 3/4" casing without catching the crimp folds on the way out? I understand the early ones can be 2 1/2" chambers? Neat shotgun, just want to confirm what I'd be getting into...

Chamber length?

With that much headspace during fire forming, the firing pin pushes the cartridge forward upon firing, the primer is then pushed back to the bolt face first, and when the case itself follows, the primer mushrooms and flattens badly. This can happen even with mild loads, but if those are ejector marks, I'd back off a half grain and see what your velocity is with the fireformed cases. With that much headspace, if it were a bolt action, I'd probably jam the bullets and fireform with an appropriately reduced load. This would help minimize the initial case stretch in the web area and help extend case life. AR's are hard on brass though and that's probably overkill

One more try.

What size is the belt?Thanks Mike

Matched pair of 1975 Belgium Browning High Power pistols. Consecutive serial numbers in near perfect condition with factory pouches and owners manuals. Both for $4,500 no trades, do not want to separate at this time. FTF sale in Phoenix area. Will transfer through purchaser's FFL. Thanks for looking, Mike

Of course they are test fired at the factory, but I can tell you these are from my brother in law's estate and I believe him to be the original owner. He may have shot a few rounds through them when new, but maybe not, as he had a third blued model that had been a shooter. There is no wear evident on the friction points on the hammer face, slide face, sides of trigger at frame, magazines etc., just a light wear on the exterior of the barrels by the slide bushing. The unfilled warranty cards are still in the owner's manuals.

New in box Mauser 9mm Parbellum. This is one of the new run made by Mauser in 0the 1970s with the 6" barrel. $1400 $1250 Face to Face in Valley. CCW or FFL transfer Happy New Years Mike

What cartridge / bullet combo is only 12" low at 500 yards with a 300 yard zero?

Mine is a bit dated, but I may be as well... Pre 64win action, Jewell trigger 6.5-06 chambered Rock 5R 1-8" # 2 contour barrel finished at 23" McMillan hunters edge stock Currently wearing a Leupold Mark 4 10x fixed power in S&K rings. 8 pounds loaded with sling. Typically used for week long Coues backpack hunts, but it did kill a big 6x6 bull with a Barnes 127 grain LRX.

Selling two handguns from my brother in laws estate. The first one (wood grips) is as new in box, un-fired, with papers. The second (Pachmayr grips) has been fired some, but is in excellent condition with box and papers. Both of these are 1976 Bi Centennial models. Unfired model - $725 Used model - $600 Buy both for $1275 FTF sale here in valley. If purchaser does not have a CCW permit, will need to transfer through an FFL at buyers expense. Please contact via PM

I suspect that is because AZAV8ER is a friend of mine and I must have neglected to mention I had them up for sale... my bad.
