They DO ask questions and we answer them to the best of our ability and then they keep looking for the whole answer being a Bhn.maybe.
i'd prefer they ask questions, heck i'd prefer everyone ask questions.
that's kind of why we are here,,, ya know?,, and i'm starting to forget some of this stuff.
I suppose it takes time. I'm still trying to get a clear mental image of lube being blown ahead of the bullet, but it's difficult for me. That idea was floated, what?, 2-3 years back?You condense a book and lifetime of experience into three sentences and nobody that doesn't already know can "un-zip" the file.
I unzip it as best I can and as soon as anyone who doesn't already get it from before sees it's more than three sentences and clicks off the thread.
Someone who doesn't know what they don't know but realizes there's more to know starts asking questions, but when you start dropping the hints that will start leading them in the right direction they start to see the amount of work they'll have to do to get their own answers with their own stuff, and it usually peters out.
These threads end up with the same handful of bullet geeks trying to remember what they used to kinda understand and posting a little about what they do now to get good results but can't remember half of why it works.
Since it's just us now, anyone hear from Allen lately?
try visualizing vaseline in a pipe and you trying to shoot it against the wall with your air hose.
So I haven't been messing up by doing the same thing for 30 years! Well, at least I have one thing going right!ain't nuthin moving till the engraving pressure is overcome.
that's one of my slower powder tricks.
i use about .001 neck pressure and seat [about .0020-.0030] long, then use the bolt to seat the bullet into the case.
you can give yourself a 10-14K faster pressure rise without the little engraving spike.
the pressure rise is evened out by the bullet moving, so it levels the curve out longer.
if your using an appropriate powder.
if your running a faster powder use the/a jump and avoid the bad stuff that can happen.
