Officially 34 as of midnight. Wasn’t sure I’d make it this long. Here’s to a new adventure

I say here’s to a new adventure because I’m getting laid of one Wednesday. I’ve been very on the low about it, but the company isn’t doing well and they needed to cut some corners. My shop wasn’t bringing in enough dosh so I’m out.

It’s painful but may not be a bad thing. Last few years have been vey stale and “Samey” I’m trying to optimistic at this point and I hope whatever life throws at me next is a better gig

My buddy has a 308 ishapore he's reloading for but it's pretty fucky. Anything remotely near a reasonable velocity starts showing pressure signs. When the loads are near 2400fps the primers start to back out a little. Over 2600fps and they're completely flattened.

I checked his load info and it's well within published data so I tested some of the stuff in my 308 and it worked just fine with zero signs of excessive pressure. It's definitely his rifle.

What do you think would cause this? Head spacing too tight?

Yeah that’s likely a chamber thats too tight

Knuckle tats that say Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.
