Shooters 1 5/8
Well with the warm weather I finally got to put some TSS threw some paper
Here a few pictures,I was lucky enough to take since the over pressure load didn't take me out...Should work for the hills and hollars and the occasional off the limb shot
Shot a IC 555 at 30&40 then a IC 562 at 40

Leaves burnt orange holes in the paper. Yep, first indicator of a high pressure load.

Be careful son. Them HP loads might knock off heads on both ends.
Put you plans in the nail scarred hands.
Re: Shooters 1 5/8
Simply brutal! Congrats.
Re: Shooters 1 5/8
Does anybody else that is shooting an M2 with an IC choke have a gap between the end of the barrel and the choke? I expect a little gap to show that the choke is seated, but the gap on mine is right at an 1/8" and it just looks like crap.

Yep small gap. As long as it mates up inside you're all goodDeom wrote:Does anybody else that is shooting an M2 with an IC choke have a gap between the end of the barrel and the choke?

Re: Shooters 1 5/8
If there is a slight gap double up on the thread grease esp. at the bottom of the tube which will mitigate the potential erosion/corrosion caused by the hot gasses.

Re: Shooters 1 5/8
The gap is not where the choke mates with the bore or you would have a yuge problem. It's where the choke seats on the end of the barrel

Re: Shooters 1 5/8
Yeah mine is worse than that. The packaging says gaps are allowed up to 1/32. Mine is right at an 1/8". I wish I knew how to post a dang picture on here.Turkinator wrote:This

Re: Shooters 1 5/8
What load were you shooting that was over pressured? What was the psi?
Re: Shooters 1 5/8
that is not a problem if a small gap.(not 1/8) That just lets you know they are bottom out on inside of the barrel. Ours do the same.
