Cheaper alternative to lapua 223 brass???

Looking for some recommendations for a cheaper alternative to my lapua brass? I have 500 pieces of 223 lapua that I would like to set aside for match ammo and then load some cheaper brass and bullets in bulk for positional shooting and prarie dogs. Have tons of 55gn bullets that shoot great and are cheap I just hate having the lapua brass broke up into 2 different loads/lots.

I was thinking starline if its decent, any feedback or other suggestions? Looking to pick up atleast 500 maybe 1k so I’m not loading all the time for pdogs and practice. Would be nice to have a bucket of loaded ammo.

"Diving Boards" - Solutions or More Problems (WM-LRF)?

"RAPTARs on MARS" - Weighing System Complexity vs. Workflow Simplification
[Scope + Weapon Mounted LRF] vs [BinoLRF + RDS]
(integrated azimuth/bearing to reduce glass (bino->scope) transition time?)
----------
RAPTARs et al. look cool for sure, adds weight but not too much - probably not optimally suited for PRS but more practical shooting styles (NRL/CD - "field matches") may have its benefits, but I wonder if these(WMLRF) truly are beneficial once in use (daylight) - or are they just redundancies and more-so useful fo night shooting?

A) Inside 400yd I think a WMLRF wouldn't be a great ROI - a pocket mono LRF or simply "eyeballing" distance can suffice in most scenarios, no?
B) 400-800yds with blind stages and semi hidden targets IDK if using your scope to find a target is going to help your overall speed to impact. Id guess that using a binoLRF would be the quickest way to find and range targets in that scenario; at that point what value is the WMLRF giving you other than confirming your binoLRF distance is similar? Plus you still have the issue of switching from bino to scope and reacquiring the target; even though you have an idea of targets general direction.
C) 800-1500yd I think a WMLRF would be pretty beneficial in workflow simplification (but at those ranges you normally have more time to shoot anyway...idk). Though I do think this is were WMLRF would shine, for daylight shooting - I [understand/more read a lot] that WMLRF is most useful for distance night shooting, no?
--------
The most useful (day) applications I can think of for WMLRF would be on open area stages with multiple, easily recognizable targets. In these cases you could see the targets that you need to hit with little issue, so find target area with RDS or [barrel slice], transition to scope and fine tune into target, click WMLRF for range/elevation solution, input ballistic answer into scope/hold (maybe clean up a wind call), fire - move to next target "XXXft to the right/left" and repeat.

Point being a WMLRF doesn't seem (at superficial glance) universally superior to binoLRF or even a pocket rangefinder (which I want to be wrong about, chime in with your thoughts/experiences behind rifles with WMLRF's and how your workflow is enhanced - or other intangible benefits that I likely missed). It seems to have limited application and won't replace a binocular for the [target acquisition/finding] portion in most cases.

Another way of approaching this - In your experience why/is a WMLRF 'juice worth the squeeze' given the price point on them is almost $10k?
---------------------
As a side note: A helpful improvement I can think of to increase overall speed (minimize transition time from finding target in bino --> scope on target) would be to have a compass azimuth integrated on both binoculars and WMLRF. That way you can use it as an 'indexing point' to get close enough to target vicinity during bino to scope transitions.

So I guess im wondering if 'azimuth' is displayed on WMLRF's like RAPTAR, or more likely the new Envision MARS?

Ruger RPR--live with or upgrade

I have a Ruger RPR 22 (not sure what the official title is) that I've used for 22 shooting. Its been okay, wandering zeros (probably that cheap scope) but as I grow, am I going to hit a ceiling with upgrades? One of my complains as a BigBoi(TM) is that 22s seem to all have children's dimesnions and I like a high cheek riser and fairly long LOP (My center fire rifles all are maxed out LOP--even in winter with heavy clothersr).

What are my upgrade paths and what am I getting on investment? I'mnever gonna be a national champ, but I do like to push myself to get more and more accurate and gun comfort/setup/trigger is a big thing for me.

This made be laugh.......................................

This gave me a laugh because it is so classic. I can see a bunch of guys doing this stuff and getting away with it over and over. When I was a young SSgt in the USAF, a company developed a computer they claimed had "Artificial Intelligence" abilities and it was supposed to tell you how to troubleshoot and repair problems in certain air frames. If you typed in a question in a certain way, it would tell you what page of the Tech Data to turn to so you could find the suggested solution. If you have the tech data in a book in the truck, you simply turn to the page and read the same shit at your leisure and without dragging a 125 pound computerized cart to the plane.

Every question took about 30 secs to process and it provided absolutely no useful help other than the page number. Three of us went toe to toe with the stupid computer for an hour in front of a group of dumb fuck officers and field grade fuckwits who were hoping to get jobs with the company after they tricked the USAF into buying this pile of shit for $400,000 a copy. Suggested buy was 25 units initially. Every 7-level SSgt they put up against the machine whipped it's ass. We had to round up everyone for test number two, even the dumbest guys did better than the electric shitbox.

They still bought five for follow up testing and field trails. The company argued they we were "ringers" and far more skilled than average techs, lol.

Read the story,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the guy who took the branches off of a tree and made a tree suit and walked by the sentry was pure fucking genius. A future Sky Marshall for sure.

Belgian Couple Who Hosted Refugees Left With 36k Euros in Damages


Sign on a window saying Refugees Welcome






A Belgian couple who offered to provide their home to refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine says they were left with €36,000 ($39k) in damages caused by the Ukrainian family they took in.
Sven De Strijcker and Evy De Koninck offered their former home in the city of Ninove to house Ukrainian refugees to the local public social service centre (CPAS) after the pair had moved to another house in the municipality of Haaltert.
“One day we received a call from the CPAS in Ninove asking if we could pick up a Ukrainian woman with two children (her husband had been killed in the war),” the couple said, newspaper 7sur7 reports.
“Then we got another call asking if we had a problem with the fact that the woman was pregnant. When we arrived, a pregnant woman with three children and her husband were waiting for us,” they added.
“We quickly noticed that this was no ordinary Ukrainian family. Two weeks later, the CPAS told us that they were Roma gipsies. For example, the members of this family did not know how to use a washing machine, a dryer, or an oven… All these devices were unknown to them. The mother washed the clothes in our bathtub,” they said.

According to the pair, just weeks after the family arrived, “Mould appeared all over the windows, the walls were covered with inscriptions, wood was torn from the bed frame, doors and cabinets were damaged. But that’s not all: all the chairs in the kitchen were broken, the moulding was torn off the stairs, there were holes in the floor, our children’s toys were broken, and even their piggy bank was opened.”
The couple also claims the Ukrainian refugees hosted another family in the home. “Another woman, her husband and three children were staying with us. They were subletting. At one point, more than 11 people were in the house,” they said.
“They were also constantly asking us for money. Once it was supposedly for their youngest daughter’s birthday present, but it turned out to be for a car, even though we knew the man didn’t have a driver’s license. When they broke our son’s birth gift, that was the last straw,” they said.
The refugees eventually moved out in December but the couple were left with 36,000 euros of damages and the CPAS refused to pay the couple, telling them to sue the refugees in court for the damages.
The story, while remarkable, is by no means unique in Europe in recent years. In 2020, a French hotel in Forbach that was used to house asylum seekers became so damaged by them that it could no longer be used as a hotel.
André Heintz, head of the Heintz Real Estate and Hotels Group that owned the hotel, claimed the damages were so extensive the costs were estimated at 1.7 million euros.

HILARIOUS!!!
