He guys just passing along what I have read. It's not just one post that is claiming this but quiet a few over the net. Is there something to it I don't know. But I can tell ya this dont kill the messenger, I just saw it talked about a few times and thought I would relay it.
Here is a post from here all be it an old one where the guy talked about the softness of the plated bullet and the slipperiness of it. Hey I'm not saying this is this posters problem just another possibility of many. In all cases neck tension is the culprit of set back issues. But adding a...
I have read on this board I believe as well as other boards that the plated bullets are squishier and the plating has more lubricity to it than extruded jacketed bullets. The squish factor is a result of the thinner covering of the lead core.
From what I have read many things can cause the problem you are describing.
1- plated bullets are slick and many people report problems with set back using them.
2- make sure you are full length resizing you cases and that it measures as it should be about .002 smaller than the bullet before...
The AR15 is stamped 5.56 I haven't made a cast for the chamber so I can't verify that it truley is. But assuming it wasn't I am still only having problems with the Federal ammo Winchester 5.56 shoots fine out of it and the cases show no abnormal signs of excess pressure. The same with the 260...
Wally the flow I'm seeing is where the plunger ejector is resting on the case. The head stamp is almost completely gone and the primers missing. These are on both 5.56 in an AR15 and in 260rem out of a AR10. Both new guns.
The Federal Premium loads are 260 Rem and yes I know that the independence ammo is made in Israel. I sent the independence ammo back to federal as per their request and revived a phone call that they checked out within spec. The 260 Rem ammo is still in my possession.
I agree about a couple...
They were gone only an empty pocket where the primer was. The chambers were dry. This happened after say ten to twelve rounds had been fired in each gun and only with Federal products all other ammo had no signs of pressure or blown or missing primers.
I have an AR15 and an AR10 both new the AR10 is a DPMS LR260 the AR15 is a bushmaster. I finally got out to the range the last couple of weekends and decided to sight these new guns in. I was using factory ammo and since it was a sight in session I was using different types of ammo.
The AR 15...
You need to go to rimfire central and check out the thread for removing the trigger return spring and replacing it with an internal one. This works with stock triggers not sure about the target trigger though. This will allow you to convert the plunger and spring used to reset the trigger into a...
The guy that estimated it offered me four thousand for it. He also said it is hard to price as it would depend on the buyer. Finding the right buyer it could go for as high as 10,000. Collectors are funny in that they pay more than the actual value of the item just to have it. I took it that the...
I think the 308 or 30-06 would work fine for all the animals you mentioned. I however like a 338 win mag, my shoulder doesn't. My new solution is a LR 260 from dpms.
