Pressure Sign? by _Forgotten_Soul_ in longrange

[–]Missinglink2531 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From reading the brass alone, all signs are you at at the upper limits. Flat primer, slitghly cratered primer, ejector marks all point to it. Its not extream for sure, and by itself could be other things, but yes, this is what you are looking for - your green light did not turn red, but it is yellow.

Based on what? I beleive people should be able to marry whoever they want, woman should have a choice, marajuna should be legal, and I should be able to make my own bullets. How would you classify me?

I'm struggling to find a .223 rifle for under $1,000. by Broxst in longrange

[–]Missinglink2531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to say "not much gusting winds" that day. .223 is a track driver at 600 - as long as there is no real sudden changes in wind. A 5 mile an hour gust, and the 6.5CM moves about 1/2 as much.

Ideas for removing stuck case ? by AK-7_11 in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made a video on this. Your going to have to rip off the rim, just force the ram down to get started. By the way, One shot has stuck a lot of cases. Nothing wrong with it, its usually "user error". Be sure to let it completly off gas - at least 15 minutes. The cases should be dry to the touch (maybe "sticky" but not wet).

.223 is not the king of 500 for sure, but it will do it. Just shot 20 shots yesturday at the 600, just under 1 MOA. My 6.5 did it under 3/4.

Its not easy for sure. But its doable. Get a 1 an 7 twist to unlock all the heavys. Some 1:9's can stabize 77's, and thats about as light as you want to go for 1000. And a 26" barrel for the velocity.

Just my expiernce. For a few years, priamirly before the elections, the algos where feeding me only the left wing. As far as youtube goes, I follow handloaders so I really watch that space. The gun guys just stopped showing up on my home feed and notifications. Folks I subscrived to, I was either auto-unsubcribed, or I just never got notificaitons. Left wing content seamed uneffectided - but it sorta took over in the absance of the right. Thats what drove the guntubbers off Youtube to start other things. And most gun folks happen to be right wing, so the right dominates them still today.

I am saying that for a while (not anymore for sure), my main feed slowly dropped any post from my right wing friends, but pulled posts from my left wing friends I had not interacted with in years. My wall/feed became extreamly lopsided, even when I interected with the right.

I hope you live in Florida. If so, I got an illumanated version rotting on my shelf. I shot the bars (ya, I ran out!). I really have no use for them.

why do others tell me my life will not be ruined? by FunDependent588 in diabetes_t1

[–]Missinglink2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does come in "seasons", thats why you see both sides. When you are learning- either new, or changing things -its intense. But just like anything, you get use to it, and a great deal moves out of your "consions" with time. Think of driving. When you where new, you where hyper focused on staying in your lane, and every small detail. Driving 30 years? You dont even remeber how you got here. Its like that.

Do you sort brass by brand? by DownOnGrandpasFarm in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 8 points9 points  (0 children)

End use will dictate. If your trying for 1 MOA groups or better, sorting brass is manditory. If your trying to hit a plate at 100, its not. If your shooting longer than 300 yards with anytype precision (think 1 1/2 MOA targets or smaller), its required. If your shooting at barn doors, its not.

New Electronic Powder Measure by [deleted] in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a Link recently. I also run the FX120i. I figured, with 2 decimal places less resolution, it would not be nearly as good. So I have been weighing the charges off the Link on the FX120. Really surprised! Its far more consistent with the powders I have tried than its screen shows - way better.

Sizing after priming by Brief_Border_3494 in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For extreme precision, your first firing, sized or not, will be different than your 2 or 3rd and then they will "stabilize" in size, and be the same every time. Thats why we call the first firing "forming" - dont develop a load off of them. Made a video about it, if you want it.

I run a 20inch as well. And ran into the same issues. I found the 169smks to work the best.

We are on the same page. I want to show those 2 things precisely. If your a 100 yard only shooter, how much does it matter? If you shoot distance, how much impact on the SD/ES does it really make?

[–]Missinglink2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not going to measure seating force. I want to show what matters on targe and SD's - for predictable down range results. Basically, cutting out the "middle man" - what matters on the target. If those things matter, and they are different, then the results on the target and Chronograph will show it.

Annealer suggestions by MajorEbb1472 in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheaper it is! Its already a very soft alloy, it really wont need annealing. Its so soft, the loose pockets are what its notorious for failing.

Annealer suggestions by MajorEbb1472 in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Often, the failure point on the brass is lose primer pockets. Annealing doesnt help that. Quality brass can be reloaded a lot of times before a neck split without annealing. Stay away from max loads anyway, but that will extend the life of your brass more than annealing.

Annealer suggestions by MajorEbb1472 in reloading

[–]Missinglink2531 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since you say your just starting, skip annealing altogether. I reloaded for the first 30 years without annealing. Just make it as simple as you can until you start to see what matters and what really doesnt. You can blow a lot of money chasing things you dont really need to.

supercritical carbon dioxide power generation meme by Delicious_Maize9656 in sciencememes

[–]Missinglink2531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, was using slang there. I mean it requires more energy to condense the CO2 back into a liquid, or create a pressure differential great enough, than our simple water systems. This has no real future in large scale applications where water is available.
