>look up off-books load development>first forum thread I open has pic relatedSometimes I wonder how certain people are alive. Also, I'm in the market for a rifle in a "fun" cartridge to reload. I'm eyeing a CVA Scout in .444 Marlin or .35 Whelen. Is there anything else like that I should consider?
.500 bushwhacker rifle
>>64968340Not made of money and they appear to be unobtanium anyway
>>64968335Anon you have no idea how bad it is. People ask stuff on sites and half the results are copy paste straight from ChatGPT. People ask what the fuck something is and people copy paste straight from ChatGPT with a blatantly wrong answer. With the formatting and everything.
>>64969559LMAO.It's insane how inaccurate it is once you scratch the surface of actual knowledge in a subject. It was trying to convince me a 338 marlin express was an inappropriate leopard cartridge. I kept asking it and it just repeated itself saying "experts" "typically" etc until I told it to objectively only look at the cartridge specifications in terms of ftlbs, sd, trajectory, and it finally relented and said it was suitable under those criteria. It then bitched out again and said it wasn't "traditional" for African hunters and it still might not be seen as viable kek.It's literally just regurgitating Google search results as authoritative.
>>64969667>It's literally just regurgitating Google search results as authoritative.This is exactly what these chatbots are. They're the same algorithm that gives you that garbage quick search synopsis before any results. You shouldn't trust one the same as you shouldn't trust a random hereAnyway, I splurged and got a powder measure drum and vibratory tumbler. 200 or 210 grain .44 Speer Gold Dots? The 210s are slightly cheaper and given I've seen them fragment like hell I think I'd prefer the extra bit of weight. Barnes XPBs are nice but over a dollar per bullet
>>64969667FB in particular is awful as fuck. Some fields of interest really only have "forums" through groups and a concerning amount of actual info/knowledge is only available through those groups. It's also a lot livlier than forums where you might get one reply a day to a thread if lucky. But the ID pages and people in related groups who want to know what something is they got in an auction box lot of gun/antique junk parts or whatever and half the replies are someone who screenshotted or saved the pic and gave ChatGPT a "what is this?" prompt. My favorite part is that every single response is wildly different and totally wrong in its own way. I thought Google lens and its mindless users were bad when it first came out but the wave of stupid passed with that and now I use it as a kind-of advanced reverse physical object image search myself; having to look through lookalikes takes some thought. The brain draining dumbing down of people on that site is way too real, though. Between ChatGPT and reels or whatever the short vertical videos are with lifehacks and shit some of those users have really fried their brain and the little critical thinking skills they had to begin with.
>>64968335This the reloading general?I finally got around to pulling a bullet out of a round of the old out-of-production Winchester Super-X 250gr .454 Casull load I’m wanting to clone and have determined that it most likely uses Alliant Unique powder and somewhere within the range of 15.5 grains of it.
