Let me know when you do please.

Wanted 270 win genuinely once fired brass. PM with details please.

RL17 in 18" barrel will get you 'deer legal'.
-
I have one but it is my 'spare', depends on what you are offering...

It's true that the cartridges are not exactly the same but the difference is miniscule. Yes, the military case is thicker but this wont have any appreciable effect if you shoot it in a .223 chamber. It will increase pressure if you dump a maximum charge of powder from a .223 into a military case (rather than using 5.56 data) but even then it won't be that much different.
Just to pick up on the 'thicker' argument...
I wonder if anyone has actually sectioned 'military' brass vs 'civilian' brass? (Not read about it, actually sectioned the brass,I have)
Experience suggests that 'military' brass is actually thinner in the web. If you also think about the reason the military changed to the 5.56 you might find that one was
to enhance the number of rounds being carried by a soldier and logistics also dictate that you can ship more ammunition around theatres if it's lighter.
Therefore there would be no advantage in thick brass, now as to commercial brass you could understand the reason for that being a little thicker.
Take what you read from gunwriters with a pinch of salt, remember they make a living from 'writing' about guns.

5/16x36 UNS can normally find one on evilbay
got mine from the states..
-
Yeah it's easy. One is very frangible and is section 5 expanding - the other is very frangible and a target bullet.... Simple!
If you care to omit the misuse of frangible [frangible adj; breakable or fragile - look it up] then you have it straight.
-
Too true.
One problem with time travel that nobody has mentioned is Heisenberg's uncertainty principal, even going back in time as an observer will alter, albeit a tiny amount, the future.
By the way, particles can have energy without mass - photons for example.
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle relates to accuracy of measurement at the quantum level, sweet fa to do with time travel, probably the reason why no one mentioned it.
-
My understanding is that if you travel at 1/2 C then time will tick by half as slow. (several edits later - As in 1 second will (for the person travelling at 1/2 C ) be 2 seconds to them)
It is the Appearance of the traveller clock ticking slow, for the person travelling at .5c the clock ticks normally.
There is this confusion that the clock actually ticks slow like it is a real physical phenomenon, relativity is about transforming DATA!
-
I can't remember where I saw it, but it said that something with mass cannot travel faster than the speed of light, as the energy required to propel it to beyond C would require more energy than is contained within the Universe. Seeing as a Neutrino is deemed massless then I can kind of see why this is possible. (I make it all sound so easy
)I'd be pleased if it was confirmed though. Just chucks one almighty spanner in the works
Yeah that's a killer aint it?
trouble is relativity is a way to transform the appearance of something distant/high velocity into a local measurement.
The key word is appearance = what you see.
-
No, because time and speed of light are connected. The faster you travel the slower time travels, so it'll account for this.
nope,
basically the theory forbids c+v
The postulate is that c is a constant that cannot be exceeded.
One thing missing is that you cannot measure the one way speed of light, one always measures a reflection (two way).

yeh stephen fry said it was all balls that water thing and he is the king of all things lol

Engaging Ackley (for the last time) and wait for the flames...
mate dont get invloved these people havnt got a clue,they read it in a book and they think its gospel
let them get on with it,they wouldnt know consitant neck tension if they had a rope around there neck
Oh wow.. 'these people havnt got a clue' You have a mirror handy?
'they read it in a book' Care to point out the relevant quotes from these books or is it just how one learned reloading oneself? Maybe one was sooo good one did not read books.
People we have a genius here let us all bow down at the altar and abase ourselves.
'they wouldnt know consitant neck tension if they had a rope around there neck ' Consistent neck tension - you are truly arrogant.
This is the only reason not to use a crimp based on your "internet bully behind a keyboard" expertise or did you read that in a book?
mate my comment was for Ian not for you
yes we all make mistakes,its long learning curve,some people are happy to stay with the basics and use sub standard ammo whilst other try to ring the very best from there re loading
always best to ask questions I wished I would have had the internet when I first started reloading it would have saved me loads of time and money
reloading has come a long way since the dark ages which most on here seem to be stuck in
Hmmm trouble is you are still making mistakes and actually not learning but, unfortunately, cannot see it.
You would prefer to shout at and insult people with much more experience. Your belief in your own perfection/knowledge is flawed, it reminds me of a teenager.
Teenager - buy one today as they know everything.
This quote, 'I wished I would have had the internet when I first started reloading it would have saved me loads of time and money'
explains much ones reloading has only been about saving time and money.
Please explain - 'some people are happy to stay with the basics and use sub standard ammo' - where in reloading does this produce sub-standard ammunition?
If you have the 'basics' right you will have perfectly acceptable ammunition.
Conceitedness beyond belief.
if the bullets are anything like Barns solid copper they need to be driven hard for them to work,and please dont crimp and ruin a your bullets and cases,theres no need in these modern times when using good dies
Again a perfectly useless statement not backed up with even a little empirical data.
Your advise is based on 'if the bullets are anything like Barns solid copper they need to be driven hard for them to work'
is Dangerous advise to give anyone.
This gem 'please dont crimp and ruin a your bullets and cases,theres no need in these modern times when using good dies' shows a couple of things.
1. No real understanding of a crimp. You, with all your transparent expertise are going to tell all the ammunition factories not to crimp and ruin their bullets and brass? I think not.
2. You are a tackle tart - 'all this gear no idea' To tell anyone what to buy is NOT your call, especially if you do not understand how to use it or actually use it.
oh yes,does these bullets you have got look like barns TSX http://www.barnesbullets.com/products/rifle/tsx-bullet/
Barns are a great bullet if you decide to try them,Ive had great results from roe deer to Elan bulls in Africa
I know that it is not netiquette to pick on ones spelling in general but in this case I feel it may be warranted. I'm sure the Eland do not give a hoot but I will say something.
After going to ones web site and noting many such similar mistakes - not just typos. I came to the possible conclusion that one may suffer dyslexia (and if one does I profoundly apologise).
Or the advise and web design were done without engaging the brain, basically unprofessional.
One would have made, at least, a small effort in a site advertising wares to make sure that it did in fact look professional.
It just looks like an excuse to get others to pay for the expensive machine by treating them as idiots.
I see the desire to be the head of one's particular clique with doe-eyed followers in tow somewhat sad when one could use this energy to gently educate
instead of the bully like 'oh Lee stuff is c-rap' type of belligerence that you normally espouse.
I hope that you try to understand what I say. This is not an insult just an attempt to open your eyes and a request that you reign in the unwanted c-rap.
It is easy to see why you get banned from forums, so please take a little advise, ease up take a deep breath and loose the attitude, the offhand comments etc.
Now believe me I can already see your reaction/retort to this and that you will have the hump, honestly that would just prove my point.
I am sure that you may have a little something positive to disseminate regarding reloading but currently the way you do it stinks.
You are in all probability in real life an OK bloke, its just your written approach is far too aggressive.
Reloading is a craft, there are many ways to approach and produce acceptable ammunition. There is no ONE way that is better than all the others.
You cannot teach people by slapping them in the face.
Acceptable to you may not be acceptable to me, by the same token what works for you may not work for me so bear that in mind
before you give out your 'advise'.
It is also a craft that one needs to be careful and professional about when giving out advise, do you forget that accidents can happen?
How would you feel if the advise you gave out turned someone into the unwitting victim of a hand grenade in their face by making sweeping statements?
eg. 'if the bullets are anything like Barns solid copper they need to be driven hard for them to work'
Has not happened yet? Think yourself lucky then.
If you cannot be ar-sed to write carefully your advise (spelling etc checked) why would/should anyone trust what you write?
It shows that you really do not respect your fellow man.
THIS IS RELOADING AND THERE ARE DANGERS ATTACHED TO THE PROCESS.
Bottom line, there are many keyboard warriors out there - why do you desire to be at the top of this list?
All the best.

Cheers mate but crimping is another story for another day but I do and will keep crimping need to sort this rifle out before going after boar in Croatia
Monolithic's are, in my experience, a PITA for load development.
I went through this with Barnes when they introduced the 'Barnes x' (I used them for piggys...oooh such a long time ago...)
They would never group very well, but were ok for running boar.
Probably better to use something you are confident with than to try and quickly sort a load out!
I find a bog standard 150gn in the 'aught 6 is perfect for boar.
The lee factory crimp is a superb tool, I generally use it for all my hunting loads - do not believe all the "expert" B S.
The crimp will make that consistent start pressure that one wants and keep the seating depth 'safe'!
Do not be put off by the internet experts who really should know better, they just show that their knowledge is sadly lacking.

Wanting to get a small calibre centre fire for longer range varmints and foxing, getting a 243 and I've got an HMR which is ok, but useless out to the ranges I want it for, want something in the middle of the 2, so what would you choose, can you give me some help, I've used a hornet and 2 of my mates have one, I will be getting into reloading, so if I got this i could re load for all of us!
But I like the idea of the 17 rem as it is fast, but I don't really know much about it!
17 rem is superb but it is sensitive to small powder / seating depth changes. I would offer the opinion that it is not for a beginner to reloading.
Hornet 222 223 all make easy reloading!
-
offensive,what planet are you on mate,some of you should grow a set and come into the real world,god knows how some of you would carry on acually talking to people direct instead of sat behind your PC,
whats the point of struggling and then buy cheap ammo which may not even perform correctly,you may end up spending even more money wasting shot after shot
sorry but Iam of the opinion if you cant do the job right leave the guns in the cabinet untill you can.
its not nice when one has to tighten there belt and there hobby has to stop for a while,but hopefully it will only be a while in this guys case.
Such a f r e a c k i n g know-it-all keyboard-warrior expert.
Have seen many of your musings and can say you are a real 'big' man(in your own eyes).
Your opinion is always spouted without thinking, you come across as arrogant for example buy a $500 annealing machine, read the instructions, hey presto sudden annealing expert.
You obviously think so lowly of everyone else while piling on your opinion, you forget that some here do actually know better than you.
Anyway rant over, Ackley do us all a favour and keep your unwanted uninformed opinions to yourself.
My apologies for hijacking this thread.
-
before you start shoutng the odds here I suggest you get off your high horse and read what I wrote again,I offered my opinion,times are hard at the moment and people are tightening there belts,this means cutting back on the things that are not essential,
I have answered the question with "what I would do" under the circumstances.
my family is more important than throwing bullets down the range,the OP dosent reload but be sure if he was local to me I would be the first to offer load him a batch
now get your head out of your behind and try to understand things correctly
There is no high horse - you reply in your usual, well known, offensive standard.
OP did not ask for your financial advise.
You did not answer his question.
As I said earlier if you have nothing nice to say....
-
dont take this the wrong way mate but if your having money problems the first thing to do is stop shooting,unless your shootiong meat for your family dinners,
buy esentials shooting isnt esential its a hobby
good luck
And this is your business?
Why not answer the question instead of offering your usual unwanted advice?
Jeez the frikking arrogance of it. I understand your banning elsewhere.
Ever hear of 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything?'

Tikka M595 stock - can a T3 be made to fit?

M595 & T3 both have 7" mounting centres, and yes the T3 stock is easily milled to take the 595 action.
