Reloading Equipment HELP me grow my brass/ cartridge collection

Wanting some brass of every cartridge i can find so I can build either a table or something to hang on the wall. Preferably more cartridges than one as it wouldn't be worth the shipping,just needing 1 or 2 pieces of each cartridge.. if you can seat a bullet, even better. This is the list of what I HAVE:
17hmr, 17wsm
223, 22-250
6x47, 243, 6CM
25x47, 25-06&AI
6.5prc, 6.5CM, 26Nos
270win
7SS, 280AI, 28Nos, 7mag
308, 30-06, 300WM, 300prc
338-378Wby

Best value base rifle for a “build”?

I’d like to “build” a new coyote/bobcat rifle for next year. I use the term lightly… a trigger swap and stock of choice are in the plans. I’ve had very good luck with my current 223 using 55gr Frontier HP Match being easy in fur. It would be hard for me to leave the 223 because of that…my current rifle is a Savage Axis which is phenomenally accurate but there is very little aftermarket support for triggers and stock upgrades, so it’ll be a gun for the kids now

My list of “requirements…
—Bolt Action
— ~ $500 gun budget, used is ok too
—decent aftermarket support so I can swap triggers and stocks
—60° bolt for clearance between optic and gloves
—threaded barrel is preferred but not a deal breaker

Some guns on the list are
—Howa 1500 and Mini
—Ruger American series
—Tikka T3 and T3X (little over budget but that’s ok)
—Weatherby Vanguard
—recommend some others too

I’m sure they are all just fine. Ultimately I’m looking for feedback on bad experiences with any of these so I can narrow my list

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

Hi everyone first time here, i am from italy and i am looking to buy a Accuracy International Arctic Warfare in 308w.
I have been looking at them for quite a while but i cant really differenciate one type from another.
The ones that i saw for sale had minor differences like the screws on the cheek pad, the monopod, the rail on which the optic was mounted, some had muzzle brake with the iron sight on top and others didnt.
So i wanted to ask if possible if there is a website or a post that explaines the differences between the various models that you can encounter.
Thank you for your time and sorry if my English is not the best.

Illegal aliens are killing Colorado’s second-largest hospital


By Andrea Widburg

Unlike conservatives, who tend to be linear, simplistic thinkers, in part because conservativism is about clarity and clarity leads to an Occam’s Razor simplicity, leftists are more Machiavellian, hatching ideas that achieve multiple goals. That’s the case with illegal immigration: It adds probable Democrat voters (both legal and illegal), plumps up the census numbers for more representatives in the House, provides gardeners and housecleaners…and their numbers help break the system, which is the Cloward-Piven strategy to pave the way for full socialism. If the fate of Denver Health Medical Care is anything to go by, the Cloward-Piven plan is working.

Here’s what you need to know to appreciate the import of what’s happening to Denver Health. First, Colorado is a sanctuary state. Second, Denver Health is the largest hospital in Denver and the second largest in Colorado. It’s also one of only five Level I Trauma Centers in the whole state. With that in mind, here’s the story.
The Denver Post is reporting (hat tip: Legal Insurrection) that Denver Health is near the breaking point and that it cannot survive more illegal aliens. According to the report, it ended 2022 with a $35 million deficit. Although the books aren’t quite closed on 2023, the deficit was even worse last year. The only reason the hospital survived was because it got $20 million from the state, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, and private donors.

Overall, in 2023, the hospital failed to receive payment for $136 million in services provided. This amount included the gap between what the hospital charged Medicare versus what Medicare actually paid. Unfortunately for Denver Health, fewer than 15% of its patients have private insurance, which pays a greater percentage of the fee charged than Medicare does.


Because Denver Health is a public hospital, its CEO, Donna Lynne, spelled out the hospital’s dire financial state in a public appearance before the Denver City Council’s finance and government committee. The most interesting part of the statement, aside from the overall economic problems the hospital is facing, is the role of Biden’s open border:

In the last year, 8,000 migrants who came to Denver from Central America made about 20,000 visits to the health system, for needs including dental emergencies, mental health counseling and childbirth, Lynne said. The state and federal governments aren’t reimbursing the cost of those visits, which runs into the millions, she said.
“While I have tremendous compassion for what’s going on, it’s heartbreaking, it’s going to break Denver Health,” she said.

The city estimated more than 36,000 migrants have arrived since December 2022, and about half have decided to stay. Most are fleeing a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
As a general matter, our medical system is financially unsustainable. There are four major problems:

Insurance. Medical insurance was originally meant to cover emergency costs. Now, it covers everything. It’s simply a cost-shifting device. Therefore, it seriously perverts the marketplace.

7_74_19.gif

In a free market, the buyer and seller find a mutually agreeable price for goods and services. However, private insurance breaks that bond. The buyer doesn’t care about the price, and the seller is engaged in a price negotiation with a company that doesn’t care about the service and, moreover, that has enormous heft. This three-way system also adds huge management costs, with entire departments in hospitals and full staff in doctor’s offices dedicated to trying to wring money from insurance companies.

To offset the fact that most insurance companies impose discounts on bills, medical providers keep raising their fees. Thus, in a free market, if they felt their service was worth $100, they’d charge $100, and the patient would pay. However, in an insurance-driven market, to get $100, they charge $200. These artificially inflated fees—which sometimes get paid in full—pervert the marketplace.


Government programs. These programs have the same pernicious effect as private insurance, only worse. For hospitals and doctors to get $100, they must charge $1,000. The perversion is even greater.

Pharmaceutical companies. Do I need to say anything about drug costs? The only thing I’ll add is that when countries with socialized medicine boast about how cheaply they sell important drugs to their citizens, remember that they’re able to do that because the same companies offset those losses by charging more in America. The money for research and development, advertising, and profits must come from somewhere.

The change in medical care. Medical care used to be a doctor, a black bag, and herbal medicines and procedures that, if they didn’t kill you, would leave you weaker. Later, care was simple but effective surgeries and miracle drugs. Now, medicine is a money-driven technological science. The technological investment in even the most pared-down doctor’s office is enormous. When you get to hospitals that must keep up with the latest machines for tests and procedures, the cost is almost incomprehensible. And again, someone has to pay.

If you add to all these economic burdens the cost of caring for millions of people who have no right to be in America, and who know that they’ll get treated for free, this fragile system cannot hold. It will collapse. And that’s what Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven dreamed of all along: They wanted to break the system and force socialism.

Your Laws Don't Apply to Us!

I've heard this mantra from different foreigners, here in the US. "Your laws don't apply to us. I/we are from _____________."

Some ChiComs in the UK don't want this street pianist videoing them because of their "rights." I share this video because I've heard this crap from foreigners here before. Some of them think that they do not have to follow US laws or respect our rights because of their citizenship from another country.

The fun starts at about 9 minutes when the Chinese woman starts demanding that he and his cameraman stop videoing. Even though this is in the UK, I've heard this crap here and we should expect more of this nonsense, especially since the Chinese are pouring across our border like water spilling over a broken dam.

At one point in the video the Chinese man starts yelling at the pianist and falsely accuses him of touching the woman in his party. The pianist handled the situation well.

The female cop was a cunt about the entire matter. In the end, free speech prevailed.

6.5 vs 6 CM for son's range gun

Realized I have a 2012 vintage Remington 700 (xcr lr tac) sitting in my safe along with an extra TT diamond and a spare manners T4a. My son (high school) enjoys shooting with me but dislikes shooting my 308 Impact as he finds the recoil to be excessive. He is extremely fit but fairly lean, so I am thinking of sending the Remington barreled action down to Bugholes for a trueing and re-barrel with an M24 Bartlein. This would be a range/entry level match gun. Right now I am bouncing between the 6.5 and 6 mm CM. I have heard the 6 is more shoulder friendly, but concerned I am giving up anything by not going to the 6.5. Right now we will be using factory ammo. For a scope he will get one of my ATACR 7-35s (F2 as he prefers it at this point), but i do have a spare ZCO 527 for when he becomes more comfortable with f1.
So the question is which cartridge would you move forward with? Thanks
