Hey folks!

Having some POI/Grouping issues with a rifle ive never had issues with...

6.5PRC
Defiance Anti Action
CF Bartlein Barrel - round count ~700
XLR Envy Pro Chassis
Kahles 525i

The above rifle consistantly shoots 1/2" 5 shot groups. After a PRS match i decided to clean it as i was getting some decreased velocity numbers (around 50 fps slower @ 2950fps) and was hoping there was just some build up in the chamber. I cleaned it and the barrel all the way down to white patches.

Additionally, I changed muzzle devices from the TBAC Ultra 7 to the 419 Hellfire.

When I took it to the range I noticed the gun was not grouping after 20 rounds. I thought this was excessive so I checked my action screws and bases. I shot 40 more rounds, and the gun still was not grouping. FPS was normal @ 2944

I took the gun home and double checked my ammo lot numbers, pulled the action and re-set the action in the chassis.

I took the gun back to the range and shot a 1" 5 shot group with a POI 1 inch high from my aiming point. As I took shots 6-10 I noticed the group expand to 2 inches with all of the shots low 1" of aiming point. My imediate thought was that the gun must be hot for shots 6-10 so i shouldent expect much more out of it.

To verify, I let the gun cool down and shot another 5 shot group. This time, the POI was 1" low of aiming point. Shots 6-10 were dispursed 1-2" low.

I let the gun cool down again and shot a 5 shot group. This time the POI was 5" low of aiming point.

I let the gun cool down again and shot a 3 shot group.... 3" low.

I packed up my stuff and went home.

Any advise from the pros out there would be greatly appreciated.

Louisiana farmer facing economic hit after social media post touted his Catholic faith, called out Pride month​

Owner of the Backwater Foei Gras farmstead, Ross McKnight, has lost two-thirds of his restaurant business after he made an Instagram post commemorating the Catholic celebration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, leaving his "tiny" family-owned farm under intense economic pressure. In the post, he referred to the "attempted coup of the month," referring to Pride Month. He then suggested "some antidotes to a false pride."

I'm having some strange results with H4895
I'm loading in my 223 behind a 75gr ELD-M.
My initial ladder test in .1gr increments was;
23.2. 2860
23.3 2880
23.4 2875
23.5 2925
23.6 2905
23.7 2944
23.8 2923
23.9 2962
24.0 2954
24.1 2977

pretty erratic numbers, but i loaded up 23.6 just to see what it'd give me and the mv was 2864fps avg after 5 rounds?????

I loaded some 308 at the same time with the same powder and it gave me the exact mv that it normally does.

So why is the 223 being so weird?

I filled up the hopper on my Chargemaster lite at the start of the week and i've been working with it all week, however i've let it sit in the hopper. I cover it with a blanket and the lid is securely on, as well as the plug fitted over the dropper tube. Whilst i can't say its 100% sealed from the environment, it's not been in the open and the lid has a fairly decent seal.

I can't figure out what's going on? Why are my figures so random for the 223?

Whey the fuck am I bringing this up?

Watch a few minutes of each on speaking. Dont think politics, or families, just look at the men and how they conducted themselves. With dignity and respect. Both of these men served in WWII, 'signed that blank check'. They were Americans. There would never be any question of selling out, they were Americans. Yeah, Nixon opened trade with the Chicoms, but I think the intent was to use trade as a way spread democracy. So far that hasnt worked out to well.

Now think of whats up there today.

Which brings me to finally understand what troubles me about Trump. Im not condemning him, just expressing a thought.

Aside from vacations, maybe a hobby, and family, I want a president who spends near 100% of his time governing, not being involved in little tweeting matches, and making up names for every body. Thats forth grade stuff. You only have so much time and energy in a day. If you spend 40% of that energy and time on chickenshit little battles with chickenshit little people, then youre cheating the people and the country. I thnk that if he'd just kept his mouf shut more, and tended to being president with that energy he would have accomplished a lot more.

YMMV

It looks like the last time we were together was 4/21.

A new law in California will force those who make more money to pay more for their electricity.

Under the new rules, higher-income earners will pay seven times more than low-income earners.

The Surprising #1 Reason People Are Asking A Faith-Based Company To Help Them Back Their Retirement Accounts With Gold
CNET reported:

If you live in California, how much you pay for electricity will soon be tied to much you earn. A state law passed last summer requires the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC, to approve a pricing structure that incorporates a flat fee with a sliding scale based on income.
Currently, Californians pay for the energy they use and the cost of upgrading the grid, settling lawsuits related to wildfires and providing assistance to low-income customers is built into the per-kilowatt-hour price.
Under the new system, however, funds for these programs would come from “income-graduated fixed charges.”
It’s an unprecedented move: In an April blog post, energy economist Ahmad Faruqui said more than 170 investor-owned utilities nationwide incorporate a fixed rate — the median being $10 and the highest $40.
None has an income-based component.

Earlier this year, The Gateway Pundit reported that California electric companies proposed fixed-rate bills based on income.

Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, and San Diego Gas & Electric proposed a plan to charge customers based on income, not usage.

This was based on a new assembly bill that requires ‘simpler’ electricity bills.

Customers will see the new changes starting in 2025.

Hello. I'm new to the site and new to the world of shooting.
Looking for some advice on a rifle that can be purchased on a budget of around $900.
I don't know the details, but narrowed it down to .308 Win and looking on the internet I found Bergara and Howa in the affordable price. I don't see many reviews about Howa rifles, but do they have a good reputation? Would bergara perform better than Howa? I'd love to hear your options between these two as well as any pros/cons you've experienced with them. Thank you so much!

Today was a really bad day. My wife and one of our sons were on a trip to town to pick up a few things. My middle son called and said one of our shops was on fire! We live in a rural location and I told him to call the local VFD ASAP. By the time we got home it had engulfed another shop which was my reloading shop and general shooting workshop. Twenty tears of collecting parts for builds, ammo, powder, primers, equipment and a couple of guns we where working on. All my comp gear and too many things I cant even think of. The fire also spread to my RV, my Kubota RTV, my youngest sons 88 4Runner which we had just taken on a little country ride this morning after working on it with some major repairs over the last couple of months. Not sure I can recover from this emotioaly or financially. It gonna leave a mark!
Just had to reach out to my Hide Brothers and get some emotional support.
Good news is all family including dogs, cats and chickens are good to go.
Thanks

Pic only intended for conversation.
If you wanted to improve this (pic) what would you focus on? Ie (100y group size, standard deviation of ammo velocity, wind variation, trigger press, bullet choice, powder, brass, breath, etc etc)?

Is Kari Lake ours?
She's saying the same thing I said, that there is an ocean of Trump supporters that number more than the enemy, which was proven the last election.

If the criminal regime that stole the election and overthrew our government think they are going to take our duly elected president and put him in a cage, they're going to have to go through 75M gun owning Trump supporters.

Why do they hate cameras so bad?
And why the default to violate rights ?
Isn’t it a felony to turn a constitutionally protected activity into a crime ?

Found dead in his cell this morning

Last fall, while accompanying her 7-year-old daughter to “Math Night” at her elementary school in North Hanover Township, New Jersey, Angela Reading was shocked to see what was on the school bulletin board in the hallway. It was filled with posters drawn by students and touting LGBTQ identities like androgyne, nonbinary, lesbian, gender-fluid, genderqueer, bi[sexual], pansexual, and polysexual.

When her daughter asked her what “polysexual” meant, Angela decided to speak up. That night she posted on her personal Facebook page her objections to the sexual and gender content at school. She said that elementary-age students are too young for such subjects. She wrote that the content was “perverse and should be illegal.”

Apparently, because families at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a nearby military base, had children at the school, a base officer, Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling, posted on Facebook that Angela’s comments “caused safety concerns for many families.”

Schilling contacted the local police chief who then asked Angela to remove her Facebook post. Angela said the police chief told her, “I don’t want Homeland Security coming after me. Take the post down.”

Then Schilling posted that he was making sure federal security forces were “working with multiple state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation to ensure the continued safety of the entire community.” He wasn’t exaggerating. Angela said she learned later that Schilling had reported her to the Department of Homeland Security.

Things quickly spiraled out of control. Angela said she and her husband were ostracized and that she was characterized as a “terrorist” and “right-wing extremist.” They were both forced to resign as school board members. They had to pull their children out of public school.

She also told the New York Post that she became the subject of multiple law enforcement investigations.

Finally, Angela and her husband had had enough and contacted the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based, not-for-profit, public interest law firm. The group is now representing them in a federal lawsuit that was filed in March.

Christopher Ferrara, the couple’s attorney, summarized the chilling nature of the lawsuit.

The core of this case is that a local police chief, acting at the request of military personnel at the Joint Base, obtained the removal of Mrs. Reading’s Facebook post, and then attempted to have other posts removed, after which Joint Base personnel engaged in a coordinated referral of Mrs. Reading to various law enforcement and security agencies. … This was accompanied by a campaign to portray Mrs. Reading as a security threat such that, as Defendant Schilling put it, “I think we need to keep the pressure on until her [Mrs. Reading’s] disruptive and dangerous actions cease…” – meaning, her fully protected speech with which the Defendants disagreed. This case exemplifies the weaponization of government against conservative parents. …

23 yr. old Russian man living in Egypt gets attacked and eaten by a large Tiger Shark 50 yds, offshore while his father and family watch helplessly.

It's eerily similar to the opening scene on Jaws the way the shark pulls him around.

I don't like sharks. I don't think they're the magnifacent, misunderstood creatures that we need to learn more about. In fact, I think sharks suck even harder now.

This will be on my mind the next time I'm surf fishing at the Gulf and have to wade out in chest deep water to cast.

I have been trying a little experiment for the last 3 weeks and am having some good results. Always have been a side sleeper left side mainly due to being deaf in the right ear when I am on my left side the noise around me is null and void so i get a good sleep however due to sinus problems or inner ear problems I wake up in the am lots of times feeling dizzy and off balance like the fluids sit to one side til I get aroundt to moving about.I now have been sleeping in an almost an upright 60* position and have been waking up feeling alert and better than ever. May be coincidence but 3 weeks and still feeling great when I first get up .Anyone else sleep upright rather than flat on back or side.

With the messages he's putting out and his stance on the 2A, do you think he could be your next POTUS?

He's making waves and seems to be saying what people want to hear.
