Night obc.

Belly thanks for the consolidation! Never saw the focal planes one yet. I'll save it for at home.

That one was a request from a member here.

[mcjhr]

Belly what are your thoughts on the Nikon p223? Used just for paper.

Did not know that....guess ill have to research more and get back to you. I do like the idea of the BDC reticle.

[TheBelly]

I don't.

they work with one gun/ammo/barometric pressure reading. Change any of those, and the system dies.

What ever works within your budget. I have a pile of 1" rings. Don't know if I can get more selling as rings, or scrap.. Almost time for another garage sale. Once it warms up.

[BuffCyclist]

Which, historically, has a better tolerance to fine machining?


7075-T6 has a machinability rating of 80%, whereas 1215 steel has a machinability rating of 136%. Anything less than 100% is difficult to machine, so the 1215 steel is technically easier to machine in this case. However, this doesn't mean that you can't get similar precision while machining either material, it just means that with 7075, there will be more wear on your tools and you'll have to go slower.

As far as weight is concerned, the 7075 will be 1/6th the weight of 1215 steel. However this is the least of my worries as it isn't going on a backcountry lug-it-through-the-woods-for-days firearm.



Steel on Steel.


Aluminum on Aluminum.


To what end? The scope base is steel and the scope is aluminum if I researched correctly (SWFA SS 10x MRAD). This general rule of thumb only really applies to clamping strength (when referred to firearms use), as in, you wouldn't want to put steel rings on an aluminum scope base because the scope rings are harder and will deform the aluminum scope rail when tightened down.



Kinda hard to slap on of those on a bolt gun.


Steel on steel


Aluminum on aluminum.


Actually, I think by definition, the LT104 IS kinda EASY to slap on a bolt gun, but the objective will be 0.25” or higher above the barrel, which is not desirable on a precision firearm.



What ever works within your budget. I have a pile of 1" rings. Don't know if I can get more selling as rings, or scrap.. Almost time for another garage sale. Once it warms up.


TPS TSR 7075 Aluminum = $69
TPS TSR 1215 Steel = $79


They’re both in the budget.

I think if I were to get a QD system, it wouldn’t be until I get a super nice scope to share among several guns, so I'm not seriously looking at any right now.

it's the 600yd BDC. Worked like a charm out to 600. Shooting past 600 you would certainly want more magnification than 8x, but for my short to intermediate range application of a reasonably accurate gun, it works great.

...And I have it mounted on an LT104. ;)

Eating healthy rocks. Your body will thank you for it. like any other fuel-burning system, garbage in = garbage out.

To what end? The scope base is steel and the scope is aluminum if I researched correctly (SWFA SS 10x MRAD). This general rule of thumb only really applies to clamping strength (when referred to firearms use), as in, you wouldn't want to put steel rings on an aluminum scope base because the scope rings are harder and will deform the aluminum scope rail when tightened down.



There is also a school of thought that the rate of expansion/contraction dependent upon temperature necessitates the use of like materials when clamping rings to a base to avoid any potential for POI change. Granted the scope tube is going to be Aluminum, but should be less affected by temperature swings. Do I have any empirical evidence to support the claims? No, but I read it on the intarwebz so it must be true.


Well, I thought we'd already covered this, but I think the LT104 is an alright mount... :D

I never said it wasn't. In fact I love the QD LT-104 mount and have one on my Sig 716Patrol hosting a SWFA scope. So much so that I'm looking for another.

That said, I personally wouldn't mount one on a bolt gun. Perhaps the QD LT-158 that's a tad lower.

True, any difference in CTE between the components will affect the accuracy. Just looked it up and the CTE of 7075 alum is roughly half the CTE of 1215 steel. If I wanted to really keep track of actual POI changes, I would zero the scope at different temperatures, from 0*F to 100*F and make a lookup table to change my zero depending on the temperature and CTE properties of the scope, rings and rail. However, I'm not that OCD... But that's not what my wife thinks.

And then ensuring the POI difference is due to the mounts and not the ammo.

Back to the reloading forum... I am streamlining my process for prepping brass. I'm doing every step to about 2500 pieces of .223/5.56 at a time so that I can really focus on just one step of the process at a time and then get really good at it.

[HoneyBadger]

This also allows me to postpone any brass trimming until I get myself a better trimmer.

[BuffCyclist]

Not a bad idea HB, I trimmed and deburred my brass the other day and only got through 100-150 cases, deburring definitely takes time.

eta: I also switched from trimming to deburring because my drill was getting hot and i wanted to give it time to cool off.

30deg. At 5:20 almost 45deg warmer than this time, last week. Received a few pics from back east. The Hudson river is frozen.

Awesome OBC, keep up the hard work, hope things work out between you and the wif!

Belly, congrats on no cavities! Did you celebrate by going out and getting a huge ice cream sundae with extra toppings, sprinkles, and other pure-sugar toppings? Ya gotta build up that layer of tarter again to protect yo teef! [Tooth]

And kazoo, glad you aren't frozen anymore [LOL] I remember in 2011 when it was -27*C HERE where I lived (in the mountains at 9kft). I had to go into work to shovel the 18" of snow we got and couldn't get into my vehicle because there was 1" of ice on it, locking it shut. When I finally got into it and got to work, it was still -27*C, but with wind chill, felt like -54*C. That was freaking painful! We were doing 5min rotations of shoveling due to risk of hypothermia and frostbite. And yes, for those of you who have looked at the chart, the wind was well over 60mph taking it from -16*F to -65*F all the time.

[TheBelly]

No, but I did celebrate my lack of mouth fungus by mounting a turret press. Man I love that thing already!

We're also borrowing a friends' S&W Shield 9 for her to try out. She loves my M&P40c but wants something smaller for EDC. She loved someones XDS when she took the class, but we don't remember which model (or if it was even the xds).

[BuffCyclist]

In trade for that Shield 9, I'm goign to teach my friend how to reload. He just bought a Lee Turret press, 6 calibers worth of dies, a scale, a reloading manual and 4 turrets (meant to get 5).

He also told me about a store in a nearby town that does ammo reloading while you wait, and they sell their powder/primers to customers. He said they have lots of stuff, not sure on their prices but he said its more than the LGS which has very little powder/primers still.

In trade for that Shield 9, I'm goign to teach my friend how to reload. He just bought a Lee Turret press, 6 calibers worth of dies, a scale, a reloading manual and 4 turrets (meant to get 5).

He also told me about a store in a nearby town that does ammo reloading while you wait, and they sell their powder/primers to customers. He said they have lots of stuff, not sure on their prices but he said its more than the LGS which has very little powder/primers still.


Lee makes two kinds of turret presses. One is iron and steel, the other is steel and aluminum.

[BuffCyclist]

I'm not sure which he got, but he did say that he read a lot online about how that press has play in it, so when you setup your dies, you need to turn them in another 1/4-1/2 a turn. He said his didn't seem to have that much play so [Dunno]

[TheBelly]

Play in the turret head means that it tilts away from the ram as he pushes and tries to form a case. It also means that bullet concentricity issues may arise with loaded ammo.

Play in the turret head means that it tilts away from the ram as he pushes and tries to form a case. It also means that bullet concentricity issues may arise with loaded ammo.

So does this issue arise from the steel/aluminum press being weaker and therefore less rigid, due to a tolerance issue with the die plates, or something else entirely different?

[BuffCyclist]

Mmmm.... cheesy grits with two fried eggs on top. Delicious!

Tolerance issues with the play of the turret on its mounting point.

its easy to tell the two apart: iron and steel one comes with a ball head ram lever. Steel and aluminum comes with a roller handle ram lever.

the Lee presses CAN auto index, but I wouldn't. You can just take that lever out.

[BuffCyclist]

Awesome, thanks for the info Belly, I'll pass it along to him when we get together to set his stuff up.

Tolerance issues with the play of the turret on its mounting point.

its easy to tell the two apart: iron and steel one (CLASSIC) comes with a ball head ram lever. Steel and aluminum (DELUXE) comes with a roller handle ram lever.

the Lee presses CAN auto index, but I wouldn't. You can just take that lever out.

Either has a tiny bit of play in the turret, in fact, I measured .008 front and .002 rear on a press in the FL RCBS sizing/decapping die I have in the Classic for a combined .006 deviation.

There's two ways to overcome that tiny bit of deviation if it bothers you. Put o-rings on the die between the turret and lockring - Lee dies already have this - and/or A little blue tape on the back edge of the turret head to even things out. The o-ring on the die seems to be a well known trick for any die set to allow the die to float a bit in the head and align itself to the shellplate. Others have reported (on any press) a half seat on the bullet, twist 180 and then full seat to reduce run-out.

If you're that twisted up about loading precision benchrest loads, the Lee turret press is not for you as you're likely to have an arsenal of concentricity gauges, precision benchrest dies, and other precision instruments and unlikely to have purchased a Lee turret press to begin with. :D

I auto-index with the Lee and it works fine. One of them did require a little tweaking of the nut on the rod to properly index. Instructions are included.

Someday I'll grow up and get a Dillon 550B for bulk and probably pick up a Rock Chucker for handloads. For now, the Lee presses fill both roles.

Go back down there AGAIN and swap them out for the right stuff, and no I didn't pay the difference. ($15 or so)

....I did get the high end LED can lights for the other half of my man cave though, so that's good....but damn I wish they weren't $40 per light. Just keep saying "savings in the long run", and go with that.

Last lighting step out here would be to get LED lights for the ceiling fan out here too. They sure have come a long way in the LED world in the last couple years, I hope they keep developing better stuff as they move along.
