I started shooting precision back in 2008 and got my first custom 308 from Jared Joplin in '09. Since then, the sport became industry and there's all kinds of new gear and calibers. My god, I know we needed better ballistics than the 30-06 and 308 but have we gone overboard? To each his own but man, it's hard to see the roles all of these calibers play beyond niche shooting matches, and it's hard to believe the industry will sustain those calibers in years to come. I guess this is how its always been, noting all the Winchester rifle rounds that have come and gone. Still, it seems like companies will have to trim their product lines at some point. For what it's worth, I fully recognize that some of the new calibers are vast improvements; I am enjoyer of both the 6.5G and 6.5CM.

Would love to hear your take on whether the industry will sustain all this "innovation."

Looking for advice on 8208 xbr from veterans who load with it. Loading only for gas guns 2 of which i am pushing for accuracy 223 and 308. I read many people having success with it. Loading 69gr and 77gr in 223. 168gr and 175gr in 308. Have TAC for 223 and TAC, IMR 4895 and Ar comp as well. Would I be stupid not to try 8208 xbr. I read its very versatile across both calibers. It is a clean or dirty burning powder.

Got a 22 cal 1:7 mtu ready for someone’s next 22gt or something fun. 28 incher so can be cut to whatever you’d like. Cryo treated as well. Asking 500

Has anyone seen this video or heard about any of this stuff they are talking about? They are just bashing Marcus Luttrell for a bunch of stuff. Why do all navy seals just talk down on everything other seals have done? I've read the book and I know he's a congressman and that's all I really know about him. Seems like a great American doing a million better things for the country than 99 percent of everyone else. Do these guys in the video have a right talking shit on Luttrell?

Getting ready to start the 6 ARC build so I can play with the different bullet weights and speeds, I am gonna pair this build with a gas gun so I can look at the progression from gasser to bolt in the 6 arc space.

My Zeus build is on a Zermatt Matterhorn stock which is just crazy nice.
The barrels are being spun up by Bugholes as we speak for some Terminus PreFit Action

I have a 20" and 24" barrel coming so can I can experiment with the shorter barrels in the 6 arc space as they intended but also a longer barrel to get the speed, in the end it may require a 26" to get it right for comps, but I think with the factory bullets we have a potential to bridge the gap in cost to play, correctly.

With Hornady having a :

105gr at 2750, we know this is probably too slow, it repeats the Valkyrie numbers but with a 6mm so...

Then they have the 103 ELDX which is 2800, might be the right first try, the speed is correct.

Finally for factory loads i am lookin at, the 80gr Varmint load 3000fps, this might be the ticket considering the results we are seeing with the 100gr 65CM. The 100gr 65CM is bad on paper, great on steel, so at 3k, the 80gr load might be the ticket

Anyway, this is my start, more to come

I have 48 x 100ct boxes of the Berger 105 Hybrid Target bullets. Asking $1680 for all, which is $35 per box. I'll cover shipping.

@Euro.Connor

Looking for a DLC finished Zermatt TL3, short action.

Thanks

I acquired a second 16” SR-15 Mod 2 and don’t need two.

Ambi.
Unfired.

$3k with nitride BCG and E3.2 bolt
$3.4k with Chrome Sandcutter BCG and E3.2 bolt

Will not sell the sandcutter separately

I have optics I can package into a deal if interested as well.

Looking for a well specced mk12 mod 1 upper, it needs the KAC rail and a good barrel, like a Douglas or centurion.

I would like to propose my new social theory and get your feedback on it. This is based on 20 years of dealing with groups of people.

THEORY: The collective IQ of a group can be determined by taking the average IQ of the group, and then subtracting from that number 1/3 of the difference in IQ between the average, and the average of the lower 50 percent of the group.

As an example, if the average IQ is 100, and the lowest half of the people in the group had an average IQ of 70, then this theory says that the group collective IQ will be 90.

This theory reflects the fact that the intelligent people in a group who are above the average are hindered from solving problems rapidly and correctly by the influence and disturbance caused by the people with intelligence below average. In other words they cancel each other out, but intrinsic survival instinct and work drive progress slowly forward. The theory also accounts for the disproportionate influence of those who are truly mentally disabled in society. They take a large percentage of the time of the most intelligent because the severely disabled constantly create problems they are not able to solve themselves. It is much easier to destroy than to build. This reflects the laws of thermodynamics.

True genius is occasionally recognized and the survival instinct drives everyone to adopt a more efficient form of living once the truly intelligent have figured it out. This drives society forward long term. However, in the immediate term, the group IQ can be approximately calculated using this theory.

A staffer of Cory Booker, LEADING ENEMY of the Second Amendment, was arrested for carrying a firearm on Capital grounds. AFTER, he was led around security by none other than Cory Booker himself.

59 year old Kevin Bates, a former detective, now a driver for mr. Hooker, I mean booker, was arrested, after being informed that carrying a firearm on Capitol Grounds is not allowed even if the person being arrested is a former police officer or has a license (or permit) to carry a firearm in Washington DC or anywhere else.

Ok me but not for thee.

It’s been a long minute since I’ve been around this area. Any of you guys recommend any place around Columbus for some grub?
