I have never seen a spec that indicated it had slight taper.

Thanks for all the fantastic replies.

Maybe this is just splitting hairs, but for reloading 165-200 grains which powder do you prefer and why? They both look good numbers wise, and they both look like they meter well. What about flash and accuracy?

I was on the USS Michigan which has been refitted to some other class of sub, but can help you out a bit. Want to know what its like for junior to mid level enlisted? Well rent a really large apartment, black out all the windows, turn the temp in the bedroom to really cold and the kitchen really hot, and put yourself on an 18 hour day. For the first 6 hours of your day sit in the closet with an alarm clock, a phone, and maybe a few other electronic items that hardly change indication. Record their readings every half hour; or if your a roving watch station check to make sure the stove works, the temp of water coming out of the faucet, the light in the fridge still comes on, and the safe is still locked. Record your findings. Only use the bathroom when someone qualified to stand your watch station relieves you. The second 6 hours clean and repair appliances whether they need it or not. Change out heating elements, light bulbs, or wax the linoleum in the kitchen. Do this regularly to maintenance your fiscal budget for your department/sub. The last 6 hours, you get to sleep if you are qualified all watch stations for your rate and rank. If your not, you better be studying not sleeping. In addition to your normally scheduled 18 hour day, follow along with senior enlisted and officers 24 hour day. 3 days a week for 2-4 hours regardless of what your supposed to be doing, simulate and practice fire drills, flooding, battlestations, launching missiles, launching torpedoes, loss of electrical power, ect ect. Lastly on wednesday and sunday spend 2 hours deep cleaning under your sink, in the cupboards, under your bed, and pretty much anything that is already clean. Remember, if the 24 hour schedule interferes with sleep on your 18 hours schedule you are to follow the 24 hour schedule. Thats pretty much it in a nut shell. I should say that once you have qualified all of your watch stations for your rate, there is time to do personal things. Unless there is something broke, no maintenance is performed on Saturday and Sunday, and your 6 hours of maintenance doesn't always take 6 hours. My experience was as an electrician stationed in Bangor, Wa. I can probably answer most of your questions. Granted, Ive been out for 15 years.

Thanks for all the great input. Hopefully next spring I will be able to locate one.

Sweet wood on that Encore.

There is a lot of cringing that takes place on the internet when it comes to EAA and 10mm. I have been thinking for a while that my next 10 will be a Stock I or II. I am looking for a bit of reassurance from Witness owners that these firearms are plenty durable for the mighty 10. I roll my own to velocities a little less than Underwoods, but the only factory ammo I buy is Underwoods and I shoot plenty of that a too.

Coloin Noir is one of my favorites on Youtube.

Good morning,

I joined this forum a little over a year ago. Haven't spent much time here. I usually frequent GT on a daily basis as a lurker soaking up 10mm goodness. Over several years there I barely have 50+ posts. Recently one of the GT members was told he can no longer post his Youtube links of denim gel tests. So far it seems that GT is going to take a hard stand on it. I feel that the videos have helped me make better educated decisions about 10mm ammunition choices and contribute 10 fold more than they take away. For these reason I am looking for a new home to lurk daily and will be starting here. Hopefully Andrew will want too and be able too continue posting his videos here.

Other than that:
Location: PNW
Favorite powder: x800
Favorite bullet: 165 GD, 200 hardcast
Next 10mm purchase: EAA Witness Stock
