It's not usually a good idea to leave ammo on the dash, where sun can overheat it and cause it to shoot high, or if left there in the sun for a while, can cause it to deteriorate and become inaccurate, or create high pressures if shot when hot.
At this point in time I'd be more concerned with someone breaking in and stealing it!
:rofl:

That’s my semi guys and it was put away as soon as the pic was taken no worries about all that guys because it’s safe at home now!
 
I'm sure you'll like the new build, and I'm jealous that you got some of the 103gr factory ammo. I've made a few range trips with my 21" Odin Works so far after burning a bit of 108gr factory for the brass. I'm settling around 2,940 fps with 85gr Sierra GKs, and 2,670 fps with 105gr Barnes MBs over LVR, I might be able to load the 105's a little warmer though. 108gr ELD factory loads gave me an average of 2,663 fps, and sure slaps steel around better than my .223s, with the gas turned down, recoil is incredibly mild.

The one thing I have going for me is it’s another Ar-15 according to her they all look the same!
I just had a flashback to a buddy who had a gun closet with a gun-wall with about 15 "pegs" for guns, but he only had about 12 long guns. Every time he bought a new gun, he'd install another peg, so there were always 3 empty gun slots. I don't know if his wife ever caught on.

What free bore did you order or what do they offer?
Good question. I think these are premade drop ins with a long jump to the lands. I dont remember about jow far out my bullet was seated to hot the lands but its out there pretty good.

But im not the guy chasing the lands either. Find a seatibg depth that works and run it until it opens up and readjust.

From what i have experienced your jump wont change as much or as often ad the lands.

If you want a set Distance to the lands you have to order custom. But they can do it. Not sure if its much different in price or not.

I did get it mounted and shot a few rounds and posted a thread here in the rifle forum.

Think the title is signs of accuracy? Nee Shilen barrel.
