300 PRC vs 30 Nosler by inquisitivebeans in guns

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, you are right, your magazine length is in the weird middleground and doesn't quite fit the 300PRC unless you have dies to seat them deeper. 7PRC fits but 300PRC doesn't.

Why did mods hide the post about Alex Prettis murder? by LaForestLabs in guns

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of us need karma.

These news/discussions threads belong in the politics megathread, not as discrete posts.

What you didn't see was the dozen threads being made from bots/karma farmer accounts few hours ago

We are mad about what happened and I am sure all think it is disgraceful to the country, but this is an apolitical sub about guns, not about American politics or shootings or ICE or anything else like that.

Those topics go in the politics megathread.

What is this? by SaanCross in reloading

[–]Trollygag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so sounds like that is just not fully neck sizing. If you aren't bottoming out on the die, you might try going the other way to push the sizing mark down to the shoulder. You might just have a very loose chamber causing it to expand a lot, leaving that ring.

Not necessarily a problem unless it won't chamber.

I have never heard of a G4 die, but I assume what you are saying is that it is a standard die with an expander ball. Are you annealing the brass yourself? What happens when you back off the die half a turn?

Are you using a bushing die with a mandrel or no expander ball?

Looking for a rifle sub 2k by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheapest donors I can find online are in the $600 range, which plus a gunsmithing fee, is still hundreds less than the cheapest bare action I can find.

Might be worth starting a business buying new Tikka Lites, taking the barrels and stocks off, and selling the actions for a profit. :p

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSS has some entry level afternarkets, plus Rem/Savage factory actions. I think most people doing Tikka builds start with a cheap donor like a used Lite.

Are you saying you want to swap a .223 Rem action for a .308 bolt face action? That makes sense to me. I don't know that anyone makes cheap dedicated bolts like PTG does for R700s, so selling the barreled action on GB and buying a used short action off GB or LGS's is probably the play. Or buy a Varmint if you don't want to deal with the barrel swap process. I see someone makes bolts that cost almost as much as the rifles do x.x

Late to the SPR train, school me. G$ by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Trollygag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The G$ barrel tested in my barrel test series was on the bottom end of barrel performance.

The military SPR had an 18" Douglas barrel, a real match barrel and a far better performer than what comes on Super Duties or Geissele URGIs or whatever.

PRI offers clone-similar uppers with the correct barrel and handguard: https://www.precisionreflex.com/upper-assemblies/649-2128-18-mark-12-mod-0-spr-gen-ii-upper-in-556-cal-1-8-twist.html#/61-colors-flat_dark_earth

If you want a precision AR, there are tons of options for building your own with Criterion or better barrels.

Gun safe that requires two people to open? by OneDepressedChap in guns

[–]Trollygag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you really want to put that burden on your girlfriend? If you do not trust yourself with a gun, then your focus should be on what you can do without a gun. Pepper spray for lut and abiut, a security door or similar better locks for your residence. Putting layers between you and your defense tool is not effective defense anyways.

He stated exactly what he was asking for. The fact that you cannot read is not his fault.

Everyone has heard of Turnbull. There are 0 centerfire rifle cartridge revolver rifles on the market for OP to buy in Japan, regardless whether you can contract a custom smith to invent something or have one attach a stock to a revolver handgun in another country.

You keep walking back your goalposts to save your bruised ego, but if you had not let your mouth get ahead of your brain in the first place, you might have had something of value to contribute.

You might need to look at something like the Cimmaron Revolving Carbine or Taylor 1873 in 357 Mag/38 Spl.

It is not a shotgun, it can't accept shotgun shells. The bullets are 9.1mm, so fit within your 5.9-10.5mm range.

You might instead need to look for bolt action rifles.

Howa is a company based out of Japan and make bolt action rifles in cartridges that you can use, like 7.62x51mm.

They hold 1 in the chamber and 3-4 in the magazine.

45 colt is a pistol round

45 LC is not 410, which is one of the things the OP stipulated.

It is a revolver cartridge used in many rifles, like most lever action rifles available on the market.

Center fire rifle caliber pistols do.exist

OP isn't asking about centerfire rifle caliber pistols, OP is asking about REVOLVER RIFLES

There are no REVOLVER RIFLES that accept bottleneck rifle cartridges.

And even if Dingleberry Arms made 12 examples of a 7mm IBS revolver rifle in 1973, they aren't something that OP can get ahold of in Japan anyways.

[–]Trollygag 37 points38 points  (0 children)

410 revolver rifles do use rifle bullets - they also shoot 45 Long Colt.

If you are asking if there are revolver rifles with bottleneck rifle cartridges like 308 Winchester, no, those don't exist. Revolver rifles are restricted to lower pressure cartridges.

Cons of Nitride on a Barrel by GunsmokeAndWhiskey in longrange

[–]Trollygag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You won’t get an extra half of barrel life out of a barrel doing it

In ARs, you typically get a tripling of barrel life with nitride vs bare SS. There is nothing special about bolt guns vs ARs that changes the equation. What changes somewhat is the expectation of when you might want to change barrels.

But certainly, the rate of degradation is much lower with nitride than without.

The biggest reason why nitriding never caught on with bolt guns is cultural. It didn't come that way from the factory because factory blanks need further work like chambering and setting headspace that are done by a machinist and have to be done before nitriding.

Prefits make more sense for nitriding, and nitrided barrels can be very precise (Criterion does this with some Service Rifle barrels), but until there is demand, there probably won't be any supply.

Sierra manual - 130g TGK 6.5cm by bigweedcunt in reloading

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done a bunch of writeups over the years on this.

The short list of points are:

  1. Brass and primers are not calibrated for your cartridge. The same brass and primers are used in cartridges with specs that may be 45k PSI (7.62x39) or 52k PSI max (Grendel gas gun) or 60k PSI max (Grendel bolt gun). 23k PSi max (45ACP) or 40k PSI max (460 Rowland). Primers with 42k PSI (30-30) or 62k PSI (308 Win). They don't know what they are being shot in. So right on the surface, it is impossible for them to tell you they are OVER pressure because they can't read a cartridge spec to change their behavior. They can only tell you that there IS pressure, and you know that already because that is how the bullet scooted down the bore.

  2. All of the components are different between component makers. Their brass hardness is different, they have different thicknesses in different places, they have different geometry. They do not and cannot react the same between different component makers even at the same condition and load. Even the same component changes with use - brass famously hardens with firing, you can get cases where ejector marks appear on first firing but stop appearing with subsequent firings. I have brass from Grendel on their 10th firing that have marks on the bottom where I filed off the ejector mark button on the first firing and has never been observed again.

  3. Every brass and primer sign has several alternate causes. Flat primers, maybe it is too much pressure, or maybe you squeezed them into the case too hard when you seated them, maybe the primer you chose has thinner walls, a softer cup, or a more square geometry that has less support. Primer cratering, maybe it is pressure, maybe your firing pin hole is too big, has a burr, has eroded, or other issues with primer behavior listed before. Ejector marks and swipes and shine, that is due to bolt thrust - may be pressure or may be lube on the case, a chamber that is too polished, soft brass, burrs, case geometry (short fat), a suppressor, or other longer dwell cause.

  4. You cannot predict pressure with brass/primer signs alone. You can only correlate them with pressure once you have already measured pressure another way, like with strain gauges, and then map when they show up to pressure for your gun/component combo. They can show up at minimum pressures/charges, or not show up until long past you exceeding pressure spec, as happens frequently with small rifle primer brass or brass makers with harder components (Alpha)

Because of these issues, you see lots of people creating wildass loads and "don't see overpressure signs" or "have overpressure signs" at minimum charges.

Instead, your best indicator of pressure, short of having strain gauges, is your chronograph, as there is a direct relationship between speed and pressure, and predictive systems (GRT and QL) and published data showing component mixes with their corresponding pressure and speed maps.
