So I have not exactly been active here, or any form in a while, but I figured I would share a little story for a laugh. Perhaps. Then, I have a general question, because I am too lazy to search :P
First, the comedy, or horror. Pick your reaction:
I think the annotations in the video say it all, along with the video title.
I was at the range with a friend, and I was going to chronograph some subsonic rounds. I stated with some factory rounds to set a baseline. I also fired a few rounds of my "hotter than factory" reloads. I was using a bore laser of my friends to help with alignment over the chrony. I moved on to testing some ProtecTOR III, and I started to get in such a hurry, because I was taking too long. That was my mistake.
So I got the alignment, I set up the camera, and then you can see the rest above. I forgot to remove the bore laser. I didn't see it at all. I have read about the magazine popping before on one of the forums. And I really did not think anything else about it. Then, I noticed that one of the rods on the chrony was bent. I was wondering to myself "What the hell? Did the Crony move?". I started looking for the bore laser... D'oh!
Looking at the barrel, you can see a ring on the inside about an inch back where there was expansion. The groups opened up considerably at only 25 yards. Not a good day, but it could have been worse. I have to hand it to Elite, the rounds are safe! LOL
So my question: I snagged a 10.3" 1:7 twist barrel from CMMG. I have seen debate on this before, but is there any concern with stability of the heavier projectiles? Namely the 55 grain? It would suck to shoot a round and have baffle strikes on my Spectre...
