Holy crap! I was expecting $600 minimum! $400 is more than some companies want just for a UL stick kit for a Crickett .22
Usually anything UL & new is silly spendy. That's very, very accessible. I really hope they sell a crapload of them.
Does ball size matter? (Stop it......)
As long as the head is rated at a max load of more than I be putting on it, is there any advantage to, say, a 44mm ball over a 28 or 30?
I'm looking to set up my first non-Bog-Pod shooting tripod. Budget is a big factor & it seems like if there are...
Thanks!
FYI, I don't believe there's a .458 bullet made that won't smash the ever living crap out of any elk shoulder above 800fps. Solid, HP, gummy tip or cast.
If a .223 can do it, a .45-70 certainly can.
Personally, my preference is for gas checked bullets. It just keeps the barrel a little cleaner, a little longer & I find them to be a bit more accurate in my rifles.
Between the correct die & gas checks, my 1885 High Wall (copy) will hold 2moa out to 800yds with 510gr subsonic loads.
Spendy, but I hear awesome things about Discreet Ballistics.

As much as anything else; reliability.
Instead of having a tiny little extractor built into the bolt, with (usually) a pivot & spring which is overall maybe a half inch long & can get easily gummed up with old grease & grit. PLUS an ejector plunger with incredibly close tolerances inside the...
Not to brag, but I picked up 4, 17oz bottles of original Huy Fong Sriracha last week at a local Piggly Wiggly! 😳
If I'm using a sauce with Mexican food, Valentina black label is the way. For 99.9% of everything else, my own fermented red jalapeño/garlic ketchup. I haven't had anything better...
Ooooh.
I just had a thought regarding cast.
A: They're awesome & you should use them, and.....
B: If you do (you should) you'll need a slightly different sizing die. The RCBS 'cowboy' sizing die is slightly larger. If you use a regular sized die, your brass will compress the bullet & you...
Do these exist?
Everything I'm finding is very much in the wrong side of $150 most are twice that at least.
I'm not looking for an ultralight, high-tech carbon, ceremite & adamantium job; just straight aluminum. It's for 99% range use.
I've done quite a few with a hacksaw & 'recrowned' them with a stone grinding ball in a cordless drill. Never had one yet that ended up less accurate than stock.
It's 99.999% not your cut & crown.
Something is loose or not seated right for sure.
Balls 😡 You're right.
I could've sworn I'd used my .308 & 6.5x55 body dies unlubed, but you're right. There's still traces of lube in both.
I guess I'm lubing & cleaning 700 frigging cases. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Used to be. A couple of years ago i had 7-pot Primos lemon & red growing, along with my Datils & a bunch of Bhut Jolokia, Aleppos & Aji Margaritenos.
Since I started making better sauces though, I'm more interested in flavor over heat.
This year I've got 3 strains of jalapeños, Datils & red &...
