About the guys who wrote the 2nd Amendment

[grayfox]

Been following this... couple thoughts I will throw in you might want to keep in mind -- suggestions really.
1. Measurement of the DB at the recording...

[grayfox]

I have thought about that also, ie, are the AR standard lugs a 52ksi limiting factor, the weakness as it were?
While I'm not sure that it is a 52...

[grayfox]

I don't know how large his sample was... but if it is ~5 shots (a normal size for a developmental hunting load IMO), SD's of 10 yield an ES of ~21-23-ish....

[grayfox]

I think you will find much better ES and StDev if you can get up to ~2400 in a 20" barrel. That would probably mean about 0.3-0.4 extra grs of Lever...

[grayfox]

Good explanation behind the 2nd Amendment
...

[grayfox]

Ok, copy that. From my perspective, I guess, jumping up to 60ksi in an AR doesn't really get me a meaningful lot... maybe up to the next node, but so...

[grayfox]

+1, it also doesn't make sense to me that max ksi would be unchanged for this new "stronger" bolt mentioned above.
Why do that if it's...

[grayfox]

OK, still waiting on whether this new bolt can take us up to 60ksi in the AR.

Here's another.
2, With some extra length in the mag,...

[grayfox]

On the smaller ones like 6BR, BRA, dasher, I don't have those so no comment there.
But I do note that in my 6 CM Bergara, I've got chrono with 103...

[grayfox]

So with the extra available OAL, and stronger bolt/extension, does this also mean that the distinction between AR and bolt action pressures/MV's will...

[grayfox]

Naw... just relegate them back to a territory, appoint a territorial governor, or even just a part of it as territory... Americans who want to stay in...

[grayfox]

You've got 2-3 options for this, and howa is definitely in the mix.
Just to note, ruger has a closeout on ruger american grendels, I think Ver....

[grayfox]

I tried the kali key once, then put it in the drawer b/c it has no lateral rotation to the eject phase, so pulling that big honkin chargin handle was...

[grayfox]

Your budget manager will put the kibosh on it if she hears about it.
And if she doesn't hear about it, you sleep in the doghouse.
For 6 months....

[grayfox]

Outstanding!...

[grayfox]

Great info! And thanks for posting.
So what you've found, though is a standard AR bolt will still operate fine in this bolt action with unlock...

[grayfox]

Please keep us posted.
I would say you're a brave guy but don't want to pre-judge it.
Maybe it works out ok...

[grayfox]

Definitely helps. I think my marksmanship in the field is still sorta modest-to-good... always working to improve it of course...
My biggest need...

[grayfox]

Thanks A5, I know you use this method a lot.

[grayfox]

I have tried it. It does seem like a good idea, but it is still a BEAR to open the bolt. There is no assist with getting the bolt to start rotating...
