Any old reloads laying around?

Greg, did you measure the COL years ago and now, Are they the same?

TRADE?

Sounds like the die moved up just a bit. It does not take much.

Me and mine in Dickson, Mt Juliet and Tuckers Cross Roads are all OK. Praying for all the lost lives and all involved.

Thanks, going to look into them

You might need a bore scope, I do not have one, I would like to have one. Here is some reading you will need to understand what a "ring in the barrel is". https://alphamunitions.com/carbon-ring-build-up-resulting-problems-and-a-cure/ Though I’ve heard mention of carbon ring build-up it wasn’t until I got to the 6 Creedmoor portion of the large/small rifle primer comparison (last Kauber’s Corner article) was I aware first hand of the problems caused by carbon (powder residue) build up in the bore. An established carbon ring manifests itself with sudden and progressive spikes in pressure; pressures bordering on the dangerous and in most cases degradation inaccuracy will result. The tremendous amount of heat and pressure transforms carbon fouling into a ceramic coating that is difficult to remove once it has welded itself in your rifling.

Babe Ruth?

What about a ring just where the lands start?

Looks like a chopped up PTR

WOW, this thread went the wrong way.

When I reload a new (I know this is not a new rifle to you or reload) I put just the bullet into the chamber and give it a lite tap with a brass rod from the breech end. Then I measure from the muzzle to the point on the bullet with a brass rod. Next I knock out the bullet, close the bolt and measure to the face on the bolt. Do the math and this gives me the length for a correct MAX OAL for that bullet in that chamber. Seat a little deeper for more jump to the lands. Now the more jump is not always a good thing. Some reloaders like to make their reloads bore riders.

There are so many in need, I would like to have more money than I could spend in a life time.

Brass case ammo expands and seals the chamber so no gas gets by into the chamber. Steel case will not expand, thus gas gets by and contaminates the chamber with burned debris. If you do not CLEAN THE CHAMBER WELL and then shoot brass, the brass will expand and get caught in the chamber, even break the extractor or the case rim. https://www.typicalshooter.com/shooting-steel-ammo-in-your-ar-15/

I was talking to the wife about this earlier. Not remembering is how history is a do over.

If this to political please remove.

A Colorado sheriff’s department caused a stir over the weekend for what many deemed an inappropriate photo: Santa applying for a concealed carry permit. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office posted the photo on its Twitter page. A white-haired bearded man decked out in Christmas attire can be seen sitting at a desk. https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-sheriffs-santa-photo-outrage-social-media-issues-apology

Just a WAG, 223, 556?

Did you think a commie news site would show this in a different light?

Couple driving to the hospital to have a baby and the kid was in a hurry. Afterward, baby Rebecca seemed unfazed by the exciting way she came into the world Ryan Emge is a multitasker: He caught his newborn baby girl with one hand while driving Friday when his wife gave birth in the passenger seat on the way to a hospital, according to a report. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/ohio-driver-baby-wife-birth-hospital-cincinnati

I would pay to see that press conference.

So true, I as well

That is probably a smart move on your part. Just curious how does he respond when you show him or send him the pictures you have?

Just my two cents. You need to be here in Tennessee with the owner of the fence company on your property and have him explain what’s going on.

On an old revolver you are correct no internal safety, however modern single actions have a bar that has to be pulled up or pushed up with the pull of the trigger to allow the hammer to strike the fireing pin.
