Consistency, or lack thereof

I read through the thread and was going to chime in, but @CK1.0 already said it all.... focus should be on the shooter skill development and not the load development.

A lighter 308 is hard to shoot well, and often times certain equipment/components are only going to shoot so good. If you've got multiple 3/4" groups in a row I would personally call the load development done.

However I get that load development can be a fun exercise and if that's what you enjoy about shooting then keep doing it. I would just focus on coming home from each range trip with as much analysis about yourself as a shooter as you have analysis about your groups.

Video yourself close up with an iPhone in slo-mo mode and analyze the footage... are you blinking? Anticipatory tensing/movement? Does the rifle recoil look smooth and your body look relaxed? Did the reticle end up in the same place every time? Stuff like that is why we miss targets, not ES/SD.

More violence and illegal arrest of a female , on her own property not breaking any law .

Still waiting for OP to show us on the doll where the police man touched him. Every thread is anti cop. And this is coming from a dude who doesn't give a shit about LE. He's got a schtick and this is it.

Pride Month is over so give him a break. He'll find new things to talk about. :sneaky:

Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

Honest question. How much testing does one need to do to be confident that a gun will go bang and not click, when it is supposed to? One mag? One case of cartridges?

Complete a local comp without a failure? 5000 round torture test by Robski at AKOU? I ask because Century AKs have passed the latter, and you only need to attend your local PRS match to see $4000 rifles fail the former.

I'd say yes...1 mag bone dry, and a case (1k) starting properly lubed and can digest a case of decent ammo with no further assistance or surprises. That's minimum point of entry.
On top of that, maintaining a specific accuracy standard a minimum of 3x beyond what is expected.

Century AK's and PRS rifles.... kinda like comparing a railroad spike and scalpel because they're wedge tools....

It comes with the PRS rig territory.
The trigger construction, action tolerances, and magazine modification for capacity and to feed these cartridges...it shouldn't be a mystery why they shit the bed when so much is leveraged toward performance over reliability.

46.5 Billion For Border Wall In BBB

you are a sick man. i love it.
Money on the wall is well spent. The army couldn't guard the border for 5 years for 50 billion dollars.
a wall is about 25% useful and 75% symbolic. any wall would have to be monitored and patrolled and rapid response be needed for response to any infringement. no passive barrier has ever succeeded with no human protection. the great wall and Mongols a good example. any barrier can be gone over,under or around thru eventually. depends on the motivation and skill of those wanting in. mine fields would help but those can be overcome. they have been frequently in the past. the whole wall issue doesn't address the coast line at all. see what DEA has gone thru just in FL and LA. border protection is never going to be a simple build a wall and feel secure. a wall is only a small part of nat'l defense and the least effective at that. there needs to be the goal of defense and a coordinated effort. navy,border patrol,coast guard,air force all have a role.
my point is that our military should have zero role in defending any place other than USA. many things follow from that being its 1 and only job. having troops in Finland,Syria,Germany or anywhere else outside west hemisphere is just wasting money and maybe lives and adds nothing to our national interest.
