NORMA BRASS

[rifleman700]

I have Norma brass, I do not use it because reloaders covet it. I had rather purchases pull down cases and once fired and then form my cases. I can only guess that is why my rifles belch flames out of the barrel and if I was guessing I would say most of the flames exit out after the bullet. So I can only guess the night sky lights up because I am not using Norma brass

And then there is that 2 to 3 inch thing with the two lines. I am not the fan of the spike but when I want my powder burning seriously and efficiently I need to jam the bullet into the lands because I want my line to go 'almost' vertical. I have seen vertical lines that indicated 80,000 pounds. To me that is scary, to avoid that vertical spike I back my bullets off to give them that running start because I want my bullets the have that jump. I do not care if the flame goes out 6" into the bore or 1 foot beyond the muzzle, I do care about case travel, I want to reduce case travel. Back to the flame going out, I believe it is a bad habit to allow the flame to go out too early, if there was a big advantage to a short powder burn there would be no advantage to having a long barrel.

Can you explain case travel???

Can you explain case travel???

Yes I can, years ago I said I had at least three different ways to measure case travel, forums members responded with their confusion with the term and they made it very clear they were not interested.

Why not give it another try? You state forum members were confused (years ago=Feb 2011) and therefore were not interested. Generally confusion terminates with a well composed, straight forward answer. Can you at least explain 1 of the 3 methods you employ?

M-61, your signal processing ability and forbearance are about to be tested. (Are you old enough to remember "Professor Irwin Corey"?)

I sure am and I have that picture in my head! Wild hair and all.
Also a supply of Xanax-lite. (survival skills)
I was not accepted at cryptology school and I guess I am still am trying to prove I could do it.

Then why mention it?

OK, how about telling us where the case went on its travels??

Forgive, about the time I though you could not get sillier; you got sillier.

Again, my cases do not have head space, the difference in length between the chamber and case from the shoulder to the case head is clearance. I off set the length of the chamber with the length of the case. To most reloaders it is head space this and head space that, again, I measure case travel in thousandths.

This stuff does not drive me to the curb; I can measure the length of the case from the shoulder to the case head and then chamber and close the bolt. After closing the bolt I measure case travel. I know, for most reloaders there is nothing after 'the .002" pump'. For me? I want to know when it is necessary to determine if the case requires shortening between the shoulder to the case head and again, I find it most difficult to bump the shoulder. And again, how is it reloaders do not know the length of the chamber from the shoulder to the bolt face before firing? For reloaders there is fire form and beyond fire forming there is nothing.
