So I've seen pictures of the Google Doc and the infamous chart. My question is often I'll read about DD is the same as LMT on the chart etc. Where are some of the brands that people talk about on the chart? I've copied it below to show you what I've found the chart to consist of...

My advice is don't get wrapped up in "the chart"; while it's nice to look at it doesn't really say much.
Last time I looked at it there was essentiallly no differentiation between most if not all of the "reputable" brands: DD=LMT=COLT=SPIKES=STAG=etc. (on the chart). Unless you care which method they used to shot peened your bolt or really care whether your barrel steel is 4150 or whatever that certification is, the chart is not very useful. FWIW, I am a mechanical engineer and I don't care about how my bolt what shot peened or what the barrel is made out of...as long as it's mil spec it is what it is...shoot it. ETA: I can't open your chart on my network; I am referring to "THE" chart. |

It's a compiliation of data regarding materials processes and procedures.
If its outdated, it can be easily updated by the user. It doesn't tell you much unless you understand what all of those materials, processes, and procedures really mean. I honestly will never understand how a compilation of data has ever managed to cause so much butt hurt. |

Exactly. When I was a mechanic, I had the choice of buying cheap tools or Snap-On or Mac. Often times, the cheap tools would work out pretty good. But, I had plenty that would break at the most inopportune time. I very rarely broke a Snap-On or Mac tool. People would argue with me that their Tool Shop tools were every bit as good as mine and had a lifetime warranty to boot. Which was good, because they exchanged a lot of broken tools. I still have plenty of cheap tools, but you'll never see me getting rid of my "good" ones. |

First time I've seen the "Chart". Does'nt make me butt hurt. It's just data, and data can be usefull. |

The issue with the "chart" is that the other site it came from has the mentality if its not on the chart its a shit company |
