Guys have been great helping figure out a caliber that will work for me in the Recoil Comparison thread I started. To recap I'm new to rifles, have a bad shoulder and joined a club with a 450yd range. I need a 99% range gun 1% hunting rifle and have settled on 6.5 creedmoor.

For a rifle, I said I'm thinking either Bergara HMR or Savage Axis II Precision. Savage was shot down pretty quick, Bergara is OK but Tikka is the way to go. That said, I'm limiting my budget to $1k so Tikka is out.

So, is Bergara HMR best I can do for $1k? Other option I found would be to get a Howa heavy barreled action and an MDT Oryx chassis from Brownells.

Would appreciate opinions and other suggestions.

@powdahound76 is going to be a daily thousandaire thanks to me. I have found the perfect fit for his skills and ability.

Famous for starting poop threads on Snipershide.com forums, now he can actually cash in on his efforts.

Think about it PowdaHound…You poop on the clock. And now you can receive booty for your bounty. Booty for your booty bounty. Awe, hell. You know what I’m saying. You will actually be getting paid to poop, and cashing in on your on the clock efforts. A Hebrew deal if I’ve ever heard of one.

I do expect the normal 10% agent fee, and you’ll need to pay @abn31c to make sure you get to your appointments on time, and @Foul Mike as your publicist!!

It should be laughable to hear so-called 'intellectuals' argue that racial discrimination is good and essential to a healthy society, until you realize they're serious: We must discriminate against the most capable individuals, so that we can continue to curry favor(votes) with incompetent minorities.

How do you think the 2 affirmative action SC appointees will vote?

I’ve seen a few requests for this from various venders. Looks like Arken has a lighter weight scope out soon. Haven’t looked at all the specs but has Jap glass and 30mm tube.

So I have been eating Reese's for as long as I can remember including their cereal when I was a kid and in my 33 years above ground, I can honestly say from my experience, there has NEVER been a Reese's product that wasn't good. Here are the new ones I discovered and are in love with!

Greetings lady’s and gents! Looking for some suggestions..

I picked up my rugged obsidian 9 suppressor today, and headed to the range.

The gun/host:
Glock 19 (slide was sent in to be cut for optic).
NineX19 threaded barrel
Factory internals

After mounting the supressor, I fired the first shot. Slide locked back, past the slide lock position. I could not get the slide to go forward. What I found was, the slide reciprocated so far back, that the barrel caught the slide cuts.

The obsidian 9 has 2 configurations. The full length, and half length. I tried firing some rounds down range with the supressor in the short configuration. Same problem occurred, however I was able to get at least half a mag down range, before the jam.


Note: The gun cycles just fine without the suppressor


I’m thinking the gun may be over gassed? I was speaking with a buddy at the range, he believes that the slides reduced weight (due to the cuts), is causing the gun to cycle extreamly fast/hard, with the added weight, and pressure from the suppressor.

I’m wondering if changing the recoil spring/rod would help?

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m going to attach a few pictures.

Donald Trump is probably getting a chuckle out of this.

Germany’s left-of-center government, like most in Europe, long ago began worshipping at the Church of Climate Change, eschewing cheap, reliable fossil fuels for sketchy, unreliable and imminently more expensive “green renewable” energy sources, mostly wind and solar power.

That said, the country never really weaned itself off of fossil fuels. Rather, in a ridiculous grand scheme of virtue signaling, Germany just decided to buy most of its natural gas and other fossil fuel energy from Russia — a country that the NATO member was supposed to be defending the continent against.

Famously, then-President Donald Trump warned the country during a September 2018 speech at the United Nations, “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course. Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers.”

At the time, German diplomats in attendance smirked and chuckled at Trump’s prophecy. He has since been proven right — again.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project Germany was building in conjunction with Russia has ceased and Russian gas is not flowing into Germany due to EU sanctions following the invasion. As such, Europe’s biggest economy is on the brink of collapse because it doesn’t have enough alternative or domestic sources of fossil fuels needed to power its industries.

But it now appears that Germany has learned a hard lesson and is coming full-circle on its energy production: The government in Berlin has elected to dismantle a wind farm so that it can open a coal mine, as reported by OilPrice.com.

Simply put, you can’t make this kind of lunacy up:

A wind farm is being dismantled in western Germany to make way for an expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in a “paradoxical” situation highlighting the current prioritization of energy security over clean energy in Europe’s biggest economy.

The dismantling of at least one wind turbine at the wind farm close to the German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy giant RWE, has already started. RWE says that lignite, or brown coal, has been mined from the Garzweiler coalfields for over 100 years.

RWE also said at the end of September that three of its lignite-fired coal units that were previously on standby would return to the electricity market on schedule in October.

“The three lignite units each have a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW). With their deployment, they contribute to strengthening the security of supply in Germany during the energy crisis and to saving natural gas in electricity generation,” RWE noted last month.

The company plans to expand the lignite mine at Garzweiler after a court in Münster in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia ruled in the energy group’s favor over a land dispute in March in which the firm sought to expand the mine.

In remarks regarding the dismantling of the wind turbine farm to make way for the mine expansion, Guido, Steffen, a spokesman for RWE, told the Guardian: “We realize this comes across as paradoxical. But that is as matters stand.”

More like hypocritical as can be.

Still, earlier this week, the ministry for economic and energy affairs of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia urged RWE to abandon the plan to dismantle the wind farm because even as Germany starves for energy, adherents to the religion of climate change and green energy still don’t get it.

“In the current situation, all potential for the use of renewable energy should be exhausted as much as possible and existing turbines should be in operation for as long as possible,” a spokesperson for the state’s ministry told the Guardian.

I have some velcro that doesn't hold any more and im wondering what you guys have for ideas to close a cargo pocket. I was going to replace the velcro but then starting thinking of other ways like small earth magnets but then there is the chance of damaging electronics. So before i do something i figured i would ask.

Sorry if this is a dupe, but I heard about this earlier today and looked up the article in question.

Scary times we are living in:

This is for cool memes, gifs, articles, or whatever, that dont rate a whole thread but deserve to be seen. Ill begin.

Might be a false flag (certainly a red flag), but how was this not met with gunfire from our side?

Our COVID oppressors at the far-left Atlantic are now begging for a COVID amnesty in the wake of all their anti-science COVID oppression.
That’s not going to happen.
Ever.
First, never forget the Atlantic is owned by this fascist who did this while you and I weren’t allowed to visit our relatives in hospitals or nursing homes or attend funerals.
Because I’ve needed both, I’m a big fan of forgiveness and second chances. Before that can happen, however, there must first be an admission of wrongdoing, an apology, accountability, and repentance.
We’re seeing nothing even close to that from our COVID oppressors. Instead, all we see is lying and gaslighting. The best example is Dr. Anthony Fauci — the COVID opressor’s tin idol — running around saying, Who me? I didn’t call for lockdowns. I didn’t call for school closures.
The thrust of the dishonest Atlantic piece is pure lies: “We didn’t know” what we didn’t know at the time.

In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks. Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”

These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.

Okay, but here is what you did know on day one…
You did know… The elderly were most at risk, and yet you still flooded nursing homes with infected COVID patients and then aided and abetted the cover up.
You did know… The risk of catching the China Flu was the same in a big box store or a small business. You still closed and bankrupted small businesses.
You did know… Everyday American had to watch their loved ones buried via Zoom, and then you attended the funeral for John Lewis.
You did know… The risk to children was minimal, and you still closed schools and practiced the cruelty of forcing crying and confused toddlers into masks.
You did know… People legally traveling to America were as capable of spreading infection as those illegally entering America. Yet, you still refused to stop illegal immigration.
You did know… That while we were shamed, ridiculed, fined, punished, and bankrupted for not following your fascist rules, that one left-wing COVID oppressor after another — including Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Cuomo, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Muriel Bowser, the United Nations — proved they knew those rules were unnecessary by personally violating them.

You did know… Every gathering came same with the same risk of infection. Yet, you cheered and joined Black Lives Matter and Antifa “gatherings,” while condemning any gathering of Trump supporters or the Faithful.


You did know… You declared liquor stores “necessary” while locking Churches and Synagogues.


You did know… It was as safe to buy vegetables as vegetable seeds. Yet you made seeds off limits.


You did know… It was unconstitutional for anyone outside of state legislatures to alter voting rules. Yet you did so anyway.


You did know… There was zero proof the vaccine stopped the spread of infection or prevented anyone from becoming infected. Yet you lied and said it did to justify firing, fining, ridiculing, harassing, dehumanizing, bullying, and discriminating.


You did know… Every human life is worthy. Yet you still laughed at those of us who died, wished us dead, and threatened violence against us.


No.


There will be no amnesty before there is accountability for the savages who forced our loved ones to die alone.

There will be no forgiveness before there’s a reckoning for the mercenary liars who abused our elderly and children.


There will be no moving on before there’s justice for those who were bankrupted, fined, jailed, mourned alone, forced into lonely despair, and stripped of youth’s magic and irreplaceable moments.


Most of all, there will be no reprieve because you are not sorry; because given the opportunity, you will do it all over again; because you are vicious, heartless, mercenary, politically-driven bullies only asking for amnesty so you can catch us off guard the next time.

This past weekend I went to the range to shoot hand loads out of my Bergara B-14 HMR in 308 and 2 out of the 30 rounds didn't go off. I hit both of them twice and neither one detonated on the 2nd strike.

My reloading process is generally:
1. Deprime
2. Anneal
3. Clean in vibratory tumbler for 3 hours
4. Resize in F/L sizing die (Lee F/L sizing die with expander ball removed).
5. Neck size with expander mandrel
6. Trim
7. 1 hour cleaning in vibratory tumbler to remove any case lube and/or metal shavings
8. Prime
9. Add powder
10. Seat bullet

I didn't clean my brass with an ultrasonic cleaner and no moisture/water got into them (I made the ammo about 2 days before shooting it). Below are pictures of the two primers with a primer that successfully detonated for reference. To me it looks like the edges of the two primers have some scorching but they didn't go off all the way. The marks on the back don't look like light strikes to me. They are Remington 9 1/2 Large Rifle primers.

Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has any idea why this happened. The only thing I have been doing different recently (although I've had several range sessions using this method without incident) was switching from using my Lee F/L sizing die with expander ball to removing the expander ball and using an expander mandrel after running the brass through the F/L sizing die. Could this have perhaps made my brass slightly shorter resulting in more head space and a less solid hit on the brass? I just find it hard to believe that it could be the primers themselves that were to blame.

While I assume that the .308 will be at or near the top of the list, I was curious what most here suggest for calibers best suited (or still having acceptable ballistics) for barrel lengths between 16.5-20" might be? This will be a hunting rifle used mostly here in Texas for everything from whitetail to antelope and even aoudad. I am interested in these shorter barrel lengths because I plan to run a TBAC Ultra7 on the end and I don't want a freaking light saber of gun since it'll see some occasional use in the blind and tree stands. I know I will give up velocity and energy with most calibers when going shorter but I don't foresee this rifle getting use beyond 400-500 yards max. Let me hear your thoughts and suggestions.
