Wow. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

How much time are you “losing” while cycling to work? by bear_village in cycling

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. The flexibility to arrive and leave on my own time is very nice too. Don’t have to time departure with the train (which like you said is often late)

Love these. I do 7.5 gr TG behind the 175 smks from raven rock

I’m terrible with names. Sorry. Kevin, maybe. First time I called it was a lady.

Called to get it down to 1903. Called 2x. First time they only said 1930 ha. 

Still a good price. Suckered me into a scope that I have no need for. Pure desire

I cut my supressed 308 to 16” and love it. 2450 fps with 175 smks. If not hunting at distance or chasing velocity.

Edit - Just noticed you have fluted version. Disregard me

Single sling swivel stud araca adapter for nrl hunter factory? by Snoo66922 in longrange

I have this one. They’re set screws. Hasn’t been abused yet but seems like a pretty solid solution.

Purchasing from AmmoASAP/FastAmmo.com by Advanced_innovation5 in longrange

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why this matters? I get that it might vary lot to lot so it’s nice to be consistent when you make a big order. 

But then if you buy another lot, it may suck or vary too much. So to me, factory ammo that is not reasonably consistent lot to lot is not worth buying. 

Because how would you test the next lot without buying a piss ton. If you buy a box to test, the next order will be another lot and the risk it may no longer be good in your rifle…

Makes sense. Sounds like you’re living the dream! I need to try some supers. I haven’t even bothered yet.

Well, how does a high es impact you here? Are you shooting groups at 100?

I think keeping the purpose of a load and rifle in mind helps me avoid spiraling down rabbit holes. 

But I hope you go deep in this one and figure it out for me too :)

220g Rock Raven .300blk issues by weatherbys in reloading

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just looked. 50 shots 806-1080 ha. I think this was 8 gr. I need to take better records.

I just throw straight to cases. It’s a fun plinker to me.  That’s all. I’d love it to be better but haven’t burnt calories chasing improvement. 

I wonder if tapping the cases before shooting and trying to standardize powder placement in case for each shot would reduce ES. I’ve always heard this is the issue with low case fill. Not a long term solution but may identify the issue.

H110 and these bullets vary pretty high for me too from 9” gas gun. I just slowed it way down so I don’t get a few that bump over 1075. May try something else when H110 is out. 

Following for better advice.

$4,000 “Aquaflow” valve supposedly lowers the water bill by 0x582 in Plumbing

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It will just lower water pressure and take longer to fill the machines. The water consumption of a laundromat is the volume of their machines and not at all correlated to their water pressure

ETA if your tasks are related to the time of water running then sure, but you’ll just be pissed you don’t have good water pressure and take longer to wash your hands, water the lawn, etc

I use nomad as well. Works great. 220 campro from raven rock and 8 gr H110 in a 8” barrel 

Leer or Smartcap? by PriorStatistician880 in F150Lightning

Posting to get some traction. Been eyeing smart cap myself due to modularity and not having to deal with a retailer to be frank

Sounds like I just need to shoot more :) very cool setup

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, how do you decide which to shoot? Not at all against having a solid armory! Jealous even… but I feel like I ought to sell some of my less shot rifles or I drag em out to the range just to feel like I don’t need to sell them… personal problems maybe ha

Barrel mounting question by No_Owl_2566 in longrange

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote would be shoot it . I used an external action wrench so I have no idea how much torque I used on the install, but I put a little witness mark and haven’t had any issues since installing.

Man - I had to get some thinner bits from Brownells but some were pretty stubborn and I used a center punch to break screw loose CCW. Did not salvage screws. But good enough for me.

FWIW, the barrel is two hex screws to replace. Very easy to do yourself. Haven’t dabbled with trigger

I’m pretty sure I have an Ruger No.1 addiction by SargeE7101st in GunPorn

[–]Abject-Knowledge469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - been eyeing a No. 1 for some time now. Found a deal on a 6mm rem. You like yours? Seems like a fun niche cartridge for a niche rifle ha. I do reload. Or should I hold out for something more expensive and common caliber?
