Takedown accuracy is abysmal and variable with forend pressure and re-assembly. Charger's with solid barrel mounts don't have that weakness. My 10" Chargers generally run within +/-20fps of my 20" 10/22's, depending upon the ammo chosen. Little 22LR's just don't have the case capacity to...

Not everybody...

Personally, if I were to go through the effort to put together a survival 22LR, it wouldn't be based on one of these sub-quality single shot actions, and it absolutely would not be any pull-cock model. Henry Survival Rifle makes more sense to me, or doing an SBR 10/22 with a folding...

A +1 with feeding problems is an undersized port - which is a problem regardless of what length is used.

The clear indicator would be the fact that they are not glowing...

Whenever I form cases which end up with former body or shoulder brass in the new neck, I ream the necks for uniformity and thickness.

@flexible - for plinking, I load 4.5grn Bullseye under 93grn LRN's and jacketed and plated 125's in 357mag cases. I also load the same 4.5grn HP-38/W231 under 125's. Extremely low recoil, extremely low velocity, extremely low cost. Pretty dandy plinking loads.

I was taught to do this over 30yrs ago by grey top fellas who weren’t the ones who came up with the idea. Doing so roughly produces similar pressure in the larger case, so we know we aren’t increasing risk of stalling a bullet in the bore, getting to relatively similar velocity. Using 38spcl...

My “angle here” is acknowledgement that folks have been successfully killing deer for 130 years. Your ego dictates that you have to pretend all of us are the fools for doing so…

Some folks just seem to make their own life much harder than it needs to be. I would absolutely judge myself as doing something wrong with my life if I couldn’t kill deer with a 100-115grn 6mm bullet leaving the muzzle 2700 to 3400fps. Life just isn’t that complicated.

I’m not one who believes premium bullets are necessary to kill deer with 223 rem either. I’m not one who believes in wasting meat by punching through shoulders. I’m happy to be picky about where I place my bullets, whether I’m using a 300 win mag, 45-70, or 223rem… doesn’t matter, I don’t ever...

Woof! I’ll tell you, the wind blows here in KS, but I can’t think of more than a few days in my life during which I have done any wingshooting in 22mph winds!! Damned sure not since my teens or 20s!

These are (most of) the chokes I have deployed over the last ~20 years for my coyote calling shotgun. I have a few more Patternmaster chokes and a handful of other turkey chokes, all of which are extended chokes. I’m far more a wheelgunner and rifleman than I am a scattergunner, but in...

I obviously must be doing something wrong if I’m not able to make these bullets fail. Meanwhile, I’ll keep turning lungs into pudding and cutting hearts nearly in half with cup and core BTHP and poly tipped bullets which “come unglued” in the vitals, without needing premium, bonded bullets.

Alternatively, I eat a couple hundred pounds of venison every year harvested with 6mm boattail hollow points… placement, marksmanship, and discipline is all it takes.

I have thousands of pieces of Hornady brass for 6 creed, I'd love to pretend there is only 3grn H2O capacity spread between them, but I know there isn't - but despite the capacity variability, I still have no trouble getting single digit SD's and ES's below 35 for 10-20 shots, and punching out...

Not so unexpected though, right? That Swede load would be around 45kpsi, the Grendel load around 50kpsi. The Grendel AR can't take the pressure a bolt Swede can take, but loading both at 60kpsi tilts a lot more speed in the favor of the bigger Swede case. Loading the Grendel at 50kpsi for the...

Is yours the Competition Electronics model pertinent to the OP's question? The CE ProChrono Digital and DLX manuals only state that "The more shots you fire, the more accurate the Standard Deviation. A minimum of 5 shots is necessary." But do not offer any additional instructions for how many...

@Walkalong - your chipped mirror has officially increased my anxiety about my scope. I have absolutely babied my borescopes for 20yrs with kid gloves to avoid potential to drop and break the mirrors, and I have yet to do so, and now seeing yours just skyrocketed my lingering fears from the back...

Absolutely nothing about statistical validity of calculated results, nothing about velocity trend during barrel fouling. Absolutely nothing pertinent to the questions presented in the thread.
