    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I’ve seen a lot of it on all forums. It’s like the three shot group club. You shoot 10 groups that are all over the place, but one of them has all three bullets touching and it gets posted on the interwebs as a one hole gun if I do my part. I’ve even thought it to myself when shooting with the...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I guess a few people have touched on why I haven’t found a solid answer to this question before. It sounds like it will vary depending on rifle and brass and circumstances for causing that failure. For instance, I’m using a defiance action and once or twice fired lake city brass. It seems like...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Does your hot load show any signs of pressure, or did it go from no signs straight to a locked up bolt? Was it just as likely to screw up the trigger or roast the firing pin or get a case stuck? What action are you using?

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I really appreciate everyone’s experience and help here. I found it very interesting in that ultimate reloader video that they went way way way over pressure and only saw a little cratering. Eventually an ejector mark, and they were way over. I didn’t quite understand what would have happened...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Thanks Wrench. I’d like to know if, in those two cases, was there heavy bolt lift and pretty flat primers, and then one day it blew the extractor? Or was he piercing primers and had some other sort of issue but shot anyways? And if you pierce a primer, does that mean you’re going to get...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I’ve been reloading for less than two years. I spent a lot of time reading on a bunch of different forums, and watched a lot of videos. I don’t know why this seems like a hard thing to pin down, but I can’t quite figure out how much pressure is too much. And most importantly - why. It seems like...

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    I’m hopeful for any company that sends gear to Form and Ryan to get honest feedback. I bought a Christensen ridgeline fft 280ai that ended up going to the gunsmith’s because it was shooting so poorly. It had the kind of problems and more that this rifle has had. I expect it’s a dairy common...

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    On one of the podcasts Jake mentioned he might be working on a tikka bolt with changeable bolt faces. That’s all I heard.

    Required precision video and using WEZ

    What I got out of the video was that you can’t buy hits in the field over the counter. You can’t load develop your way to an incredibly high chance of first round hits at long range. It’s the running joke that you just buy a 6.5cm, a box of match ammo, a BDC reticle and you can shoot anything...

    New shooting bags (front and rear) from S2H

    What’s the purpose of putting leather on your cheek rest? I first saw that on a gunwerks stock, and they did it on the grip too. I thought it was for the cool factor. Is there more to it?

    New shooting bags (front and rear) from S2H

    Get those guys to make a light fill molinator in waxed canvas, too! Does it really make much of a difference for your shooting off of an ammo can to use the heavy more stable version versus the light field one? Or is it just more convenient to have the best tool for each situation? I have a...

    Their Etsy store says free shipping. You wouldn’t have to deal with any duties, etc. mongulaiCOM was the name I saw them under.

    223 AI velocity potential

    Looking forward to the update. I’m on the fence as to whether the velocity gain is worth it.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    A couple guys here have swapped their medium rings for the low rings when they bought the package. I have WM lows on my gun but got the package deal and now have a set of mediums. It’s not much of a height difference, but can someone tell me if it’s going to matter? I’ve always kept my scope as...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    So what kind of confidence does this guy have in his savage/vortex delivery system? Hopefully your experience and will motivate him to both practice more and be sure his system is as reliable as yours. Did he check his 200yd zero afterwards like you did?

    Painless load development (mine)

    I believe he guessed at the velocity. I’ve heard Form say in a podcast that he can pretty much get within 100fps of a cartridge/barrel length/yardage on most guns. Otherwise you can look at a reloading manual and get close enough to make a good guess I’d say.
