Sorry, skim reading fail. I read it as both you and wwilson had the same issue, did UOAs and dissected the filters to expose metal that didn't appear in the report.

Who did you use for analysis?

That can be true of push mowers, but are you sure that applies to mowers that have a belt and pulley system to drive the blades? 3600 has been the standard for a long time on those mowers.

Try looking for dye on the condensate drain too.

I'm with you - I fill with a heavy oil and rotate it a few revolutions by hand to disperse it inside then after assembly I crank the engine for a bit before allowing it to fire and they always have oil pressure right away.

Maybe the throttle spring is stretched or weak and not strong enough to properly overcome the governors tendency to close the throttle? Or did you by chance mix two springs up?

That can be done easily enough - I have 7 rounds left of that particular ammo, but I have a not insignificant amount of Magtech 115grn that I bought some time ago and I'd hate to get rid of it. FWIW the ammo in question is 123grn but has no advertised velocity on the box. I could find a...

Where do you see the partial case head separation? Spent brass analysis is something that I'd like to learn more about.

With the talk of adjustable parallax glass, I'm kind in an analysis paralysis mode. I'm almost thinking that a dot of some sort would be the better option or his likely uses (0-50yds?) There is THIS SCOPE that might check all the boxes well enough? I realize that it probably doesn't meet rifle...

Here's a couple of shots of other brass from the same box and same outing

The box state "Made in Brazil" - I'm guessing most of Magtech ammo is made there?

No, that was a factory load.

I was out shooting my AR chambered in 300BLK the other day and while picking up my brass, I found one with a split case. This was the only one that I found that day and the only one that I've ever noticed. The gun cycled perfectly every shot and I didn't notice any variability from round to...

Hey all I'm looking to equip our son's Rossi lever gun with some sort of scope. It's not going to get used much and won't be used out past 100yds most likely. I've been surfing Midway and have seen several cheap scopes from a variety of companies, most of which I haven't heard of, like Barska...

This of course is if I decide that the chain the replacement engine needs replacing since it "only" has 120k miles.
