The farm hunting debate after my last post was entertaining. I decided to give this public land "proper" hunting a go myself. As I stepped onto the public land, all sensors went haywire. The DEER...

yep they even sport the same "low" comb of the old originals for use with open sights, even though most new rifles come without them!! So we fit comb raisers of all sorts or replace the new rifle...

What im trying to explain is i dont believe they are over pressure. Yes the brass is smoked, but thats only one piece of a much larger puzzle and theres alot of other factors that suggest it may not...

Thanks to NZ_noddy for the loan of the 6mmBR die as I have now got the brass sorted for this chamber. I sized a handful of 6.5x47lap brass down to 6mm then to .22. I tested a few in the chamber...

When I purchased my used Desert Tech rifle it came with a few barrels, one of which was a 24" Trueflite .22-243 with a 1-8" twist built by Robbie Tiffen. It had clearly seen some use as the throat...

Ive come to the conclusion its faulty brass. Mainly because my processes are the same with not just this brass but all the brass for all my rifles, and ive never had this before. Not to mention, most...
