Just curious. Do they only have one nick or do they have multiple?

I thought it was a given that he was involved.

Ever so helpful. I'm sure new forum members will be enthusiastic at these kinds of responses to questions.

Yea, okay, so you are absolutely right. I didn't describe the failure correctly. It happened again and I saved the round. Overall length was 2.2550". But dropped it into my case gauge and lo and behold, didn't fit all the way in. Definitely a No-Go. Finally got a modified case for my OAL gauge. Here's what's throwing me off. Pushed it in until the case was in, then pushed the rod until the bullet made light contact with the end of the chamber. Did this three times. Measured 2.3430" every time. This seems long to me. Equipment used: Hornady OAL Straight Guage w/ Hornady .223 Modified Case 55 gr FMJBT Hornady .223 round Hornady Lock-N-Load Headspace Comparator & Anvil for .223 Edit: With my Sierra MK 52gr HPBT, I got an OAL of 2.3430". With Sierra MK 77gr HPBT, I got an OAL of 2.289".

What if I want to reload?

Looking at this as my next possible caliber up. Debating .308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm leaning towards 6.5 Creedmoor as it maintains velocity better, recoil is about 2/3 of .308, overall better ballistic coefficients. And the price is solid.

Once I dial in my volume on my Lee Deluxe Perfect Powder Measure, I'd agree with this. I'm still doing small batches so I check every round to verify it and so far it's been extremely precise.

I'm liked it in my 55gr FMJBT. But I was also shooting bolt so I wouldn't have the same problem. Was finding 25.5 gr of CFE 223 was pretty solid grouping. I think ideal will be slightly higher like 25.7. Loaded up three different grains of match ammo. Excited to test those, though if I'm not shooting really far out, I doubt I'll need anything about the 52gr Matchking.

I love how they are claiming they were just testing a new liquid propellant. Right...

Not even sure you watched the trailer based on that insanely inaccurate description of the trailer.

That video is so unrealistic. Not a single Kyle or Naruto runner.

Some dumbasses were tossing rounds onto the concrete to see if they could set them off.

We got it out at the range. Used a cleaning rod.

I just want my guns to endlessly fire bullets without ever pausing to reload and for my cars to have as many gears as the ones in the Fast and the Furious movies where they never downshift, just upshift like 20 times.

It's a Hornady Lock-N-Load cartridge gauge for 223 rem.

I said I used a case gauge.

Yes. Case gauge, pocket gauge, calipers. Length of everything was 2.2580 plus/minus 0.0005" I was kinda anal about making them all the same dimensions for consistency. Not sure if the primer was struck. Sounded like a dry fire to me. It's completely possible of course I missed one sizing them. No. Would that make the case go into the barrel? I know that can cause a squib round.

That's what I figured, but it was the correct length, diameter, etc.And I weighed out every single charge. It's almost like when it loaded from the magazine into the chamber, it immediately slid into the barrel. Just glad I didn't try to fire another round. I thought that too!

Nope, it was a once fired .223 round.

Strange thing happened to me this morning at Range 14. Was shooting some .223 out of my Ruger Ranch in 5.56 and with one of my rounds, there was no recoil and no new hole in my target. Took my magazine out, opened the chamber and there was a full round, case and bullet, stuck in the barrel with the primer end flush meeting the chamber. I've never seen or heard of this before. What would cause this?

Central Jersey really got this one. Southeastern quarter of NJ got some decent storms but other than a couple trash cans falling over, it didn't get too crazy. I was surprised when my family north of me said they lost power. Atlantic City Electric has barely any outages in South Jersey. Though I did hear a tree or something fell down on the PATCO train tracks cancelling trips to and from Philly.

The 62gr AE FMJBT are pretty decent manufactured ammo.

Most of the RSO's are ex-military. Really cool guys. Extremely knowledgeable. And I really like how they show new shooters how to properly handle firearms with personal attention. The owner strictly defers to the head RSO. He knows the head RSO has a vast amount of experience and it would be crazy not to listen to him. And when it comes to issues I've talked to him about that comes to range safety, he has told me that the final say comes from the head RSO. He may be strictly a businessman, but the fact that he relies on those with RSO experience to make those policies is a smart move.

The fruits of my labor.

Guns don't get brought up much elsewhere. But I am very vocal about how stupid the laws are in person. It's just two issues for the same problem. The laws they pass aren't designed to actually stop misuse of guns, just look like they are doing something. And that the lack of enforcement of laws is letting the misuse of guns continue on while the innocent get preyed upon.
