  1. What press are you using.

    I have never had a problem with high primers (even WSR) in any loads done on my 550-650 or by hand.

    Sounds like you are "soft seating them". You can just about crush a primer in the hole without it going off.

    Primers will slice through just about any crud and seat tightly.

    You are more at risk of misfires due to the firing pin seating the primer than slam-fires.

  2. I know a lot of people go on about the spiritual powers of the TRUE 1x power but I seldom use just 1x on my Meopta, I tend to use about 1.25 to 1.5 on most close paper out to 20m as I tend to find it faster than 1x. I think I am probably in the minority here though !

    I only tend to use 1x on stuff closer than 10m.

    Anything between 20 - 50m is between 1.5x and 2.0x and anything past 100m is impossible for any mortal human eye to shoot without ramping it up to 4x.

    I can prove this as if you examine Kurt, Trapr or Kelly's shooting glasses they are actually have a special built in drop down 4x magnifying aid..... and you just thought they had really big bulbous eyes !!! :roflol:

  3. One huge problem with the pole is the AR Gold trigger which I think is much better (feel and design) than my JP's is listed as a double stage when it is really a single stage.

    Feels like a good 1911 trigger. Light takeup, crisp break and short reset.

  5. 1-9 should work for everything from 40 to 69gr.

    I have had great luck with some brands of 55fmj (Hornady) and lousy luck with some others.

    Depending on what length, gas system, weight ext. I would be happy to take it off your hands at the shot out rate? :closedeyes:

  6. Hate to ask but do you know you can shoot groups?

    I have an old "shot out" M16 barrel that when screwed together with a free float handguard and ammo it likes it is a 1 1/4 MOA rifle, with crud ammo it is 2 1/2 MOA.

    Also have a 1/4 MOA rifle that shoots 4 MOA with ammo it doesn't like.

  7. "Rebuttals are not permitted"

    But sometimes they are needed????

    Sure complain about a store selling primers, then they wont be able to and at the same time suppliers wont be able to ship them to consumers. Then what?

  8. I guess I'm a little anal about ammo :D

    I guess when you spend time on your knees picking over and caressing brass instead of pouring out 5 gallon buckets of it you are a little more anal?

    My Bedell has ran like a sewing machine since I bought it from Paul W lots and lots of rounds ago. I have no doubt that 38SC is softer and slightly faster and if your a high M or GM you need this %, I need rounds down range and my 9 works for me.

  9. No its not. And its not worth breaking the locktite to install the old style tube.

    Put in the order for just the tube and gas block with JP.

    Then do the switch when the parts come in.

    JP may break you a tube out if you tell them its for your 3-gun rifle.

  10. Pistols and rifles will have different impact "sometimes large" points depending on how its rested or held.

    My Open gun when sighted in for 25 yards off a rest hits 3" low offhand, even though groups don't enlarge much.

    My comped AR's shoot 3-5" lower offhand as rested, and my High Power rifle shoots 3-4" high.

    Depends on how the recoil vs. unlocking vs. hold change.

    The only way to do it is sight in the way you plan on shooting the gun and reserve the bags for load testing groups.
