Oh darned another storm hitting next weekend.

Just in time to possible royally mess up the back to back matches at Altus next weekend. Maybe not a direct hit but rain and wind abound when one of these storms pass by.

Wind makes it interesting, but after Peason Ridge and Vietnam, I’m allergic to standing outside in a cold, wet rain. Snow, I’m good to go, I have clothes for that, but damp cold chills me to the bones. Literally and physically can’t tolerate it anymore.

Are you a Vet having a rough night? Click here.

If you're having a REALLY bad night, just dial 988 and hit option '1'.

If you want to IM, I've got ya, go to: https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/get-help-now/chat

(Please don't let the 'crisis' moniker scare you off)- by all means you can shit talk the hell out of them but all that link will do is have you IM'ing a fellow Vet.

If you say the hell with calling or web browsing and just want to text and shit post that way, I've got ya there too, just text '838255' . Please feel free to share your trolling of that option of a fellow Vet volunteering their time.

Not happy with the above options? Are you a combat vet (like myself) that doesn't want to talk to the same support network that the MOS's that stayed in the FOB/COB/whatever did? I've got you too.

Call: +18669661020

That'll put you in touch with someone better... experienced with what might be bothering you.

Don't want to call anyone- I've still got your six, just go to: https://health.mil/Military-Health-...h-Center-of-Excellence/Real-Warriors-Campaign

That link will let you IM someone from the combat arm world so at least you'd be talking with someone that understands where you're coming from.

I'll post more links as I find them- dollars to doughnuts, this is going to be a rough week for our vets.

The last time...

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Just silly things really but also a bit profound. Just moments in time that escape all of us and without even giving it a second thought (as the moment passed) that part of our life was gone and we never saw it coming. As an example-

-The last time you tied the shoelaces for your child.

-The last time you had your 'first kiss'

-The last time you spent with your friends in High School

-The last time you spent together with whichever relative that comes to mind

-The last time your spouse shared something with you that nobody else knew

-The last time you had your heart broken by someone

-The last time you saw a piece of art that just completely moved you in a way that you didn't know was even possible.

Etc, Etc, but that's what I'm thinking of tonight. Not sure if anyone else has had similar thoughts.

What Am I doing Wrong

I'm Brand new to reloading. I'm currently trying to reload for my 6.5 Prc and 22 Creedmoor. The current issue I'm facing is that I can't get the bolt to close When I'm sizing, I test the case to make sure it's smooth in the bolt. Then after all the other steps when I seat the bullet to the O.A.L my bolt hangs like the bullet is too long and have to almost slam the bolt to get it to close and I'm really confused as to what I'm doing wrong. I've watched my FairShare of YouTube however I guess I didn't learn anything. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated!

We were just ahead of the curve. Squirrel mafia has actual relevance.

Help with new rifle $3k budget.

I just sold my custom 6.5cm built ~2016. I didn't want to sell it but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. I don't know what's great these days in precision rifle. So I can spend a max $3000 for rifle, stock/chassis, dies and tools if needed.
I kept my Razor 4x27, badger mount and rings. I do reload.
I do not compete in PRS but have shot competition for close to 25 years at a high level. Mostly action pistol and multigun.
1. What cartridge? I want something that kicks less than a 6.5cm, efficient, easy to load not picky, can get to 1100 yards but this not likely to get used past 1000. Have factory ammo available or brass that is easy to find and doesn't cost a lot, last decent barrel life (2500 rounds?). 6GT ?
2. What action or complete rifle? I want something smooth and fast. Light bolt lift, effortless feeding and cycling. I do not have access to a lathe so the barrel has to go on with vise and action wrench, gauges, if buying action only. Would like to use unmodified AICS type mags. It doesnt need to be the best action, just something that pretty good, popular and has a good reputation.
3. Stock/chassis I like the looks of a stock, had the manners T4A and liked it, but I've shot ARs so long now maybe a chassis would be better for me. I like the ideal of adding weight to it when I wanted also. I'm not sure on the weight yet, maybe 12-18lbs without optic.
4. Barrel 24-26" M24 profile I guess. .5 moa consistently 5 shots. I know this depends on shooter load and conditions. Didn't know how to ask but I can shoot 1/2" at 100 from the bench without too much effort with the right rifle and loads. Finding the 2 together is the hard part. Hence all the questions and knowledge you folks have to offer.

Let’s see those range bags

After ignoring my range bag for quite some time I decided to clean out all the dirt, dead spiders and random debris that all bags accumulate over time. I bought this particular bag from Lowe’s when I still shot USPSA and 3-gun nearly 20 years ago. It has served me well and with all the pockets, pouches, nooks and crannies can be pressed into service for nearly any shooting discipline. The only other bag I ever used was a Camelbak BFM that I used when shooting sniper matches but that was just a part of that particular game.
