Hey Glen, Continuing on with the reloading theme, do you have any recommendations for a chronograph??? I’m looking at the base model Magnetospeed that looks like a bayonet. It’s $500 bucks which is pretty much the cheapest available. After that they all step up to around $1000. Faaaaaar out - it gets pretty expensive quickly !
Yup that’s what I have been using for the last 5 or 6 years. I’ve heard the bayonet can screw with barrel harmonics and affect accuracy but have never seen that in my guns.
The only thing I would do is throw out the cheap plastic carrying box it comes with. It sometimes puts a wicked bend on the bayonet’s signal wires and sometimes the connections as well. But that is not a big deal if you are handy with a soldering iron…or so I’ve been told. For me it has been a good piece of kit.
Thanks Glen, that’s a good enough recommendation for me. I’ll grab one of the base models. $500 - ouch - but its the last major purchase for a while. I have a MEC Marksman press, dies and a nice electronic thrower/scale, three reloading manuals, quality verniers, tumbler, case lube, projectile puller, primer seater, etc, etc, etc ! Then Varget, 10,000 primers and a range of 7mm projectiles.
Tokarev is a good one for penetration, Makarov for last resort pocket style. Finished the last of the steak/cabbage/carrot soup and let one rip at the Dollar Circus Tree, I thought the frozen section was going to blast out and JT Rastus said dayam did someone drop a stink bomb in this Mofo. Later some kids were mouthing off so I pulled an Elvis HUH moved with a Hellstench sulfur blast and they ran the other way. Always uncivil and enough with tolerance that has been abused for way too long. Look at the animals shitting all over everything and learn from them of how to deal with progressive world.
