That's an ultra light muzzleloader 7lbs scoped. Using a 280 grain bullet behind 120 grains of Blackhorn 209 traveling 2049 fps. Nearly 49 ftlbs of recoil energy. Poi never moves no loctite on rings torqued to Warne specs. Lightly oiled screws.
Fully degrease and lightly oil yes I absolutely do.
Figured you had them on already. Haha no offense intended. All in good fun, but I'm on the other side of the fence.
Yes me either lol. We're all just shootin the shit. It's all good!
They probably didn't try anything to be perfectly honest. This isn't a complex machine. Its a clamp load, and there's nothing to test in their eyes. And if they recommend too much torque, someone will want the ring mfr to pay for bent fragile scope tube. Which ring mfrs have tested what exactly?
You're right. But the thread is clearly about blue loctite. If you need the number, its 242 or 243. I, and no one else, is recommending anything else. Purple is honestly great too though, just lesser known.
You're right. Im talking about any threadlocker. I use "Loctite" as a general term for threadlocker like many. I looked it up and that behavior called "genericide". The response you have is "deflecting"
Thanks. I just looked that up after my post. Beat me to it.
If you go back and look, I clearly say I use loctite early in this thread.
Good deal. Seems to be contrary to the other ring companies we’re talking about here and some actual knowledge of testing.
The recoil impulse from a muzzleloader is extremely slow and therefore much milder than the forces from a high velocity rifle
So why do you loctite your bases? To keep them from coming loose? And why don't you loctite your rings? You don't care if they come loose?
Dude. Form wasn't having a bad day; he's trying to tell you facts based on actual testing across multiple platforms over many years.
Nah. He was being a jerk and you know it.Dude. Form wasn't having a bad day; he's trying to tell you facts based on actual testing across multiple platforms over many years.
Many of us have come on here as new guys and repeated stuff we'd been told was true, or things we thought "were" true, or should be true. Form has either offered his experience - usually with evidence to back it up - and/or invited us to do our own testing. Most who've followed the "open your ears, shut your mouth" approach have learnt a lot ... and not embarrassed themselves as much in the process.
We used to have a guy here who recommended reading and not posting for the first six months ... it was sage advice.
Anyway, welcome. You're among friends here. Just friends who don't suffer foolishness.
Dude read the question I asked him above about the unknownmunitions rings that he helped test before they came to production. I’d consider unknownmunitions to be on the upper tier of quality rings and they literally go against what your “major” manufacturers recommend because they legit tested before releasing.
