Work compensation --how would you handle this?

1. As an employer I will pay you the least I can possibly get away with and you still give your all.
2. I want an employee to be just as aggressive for himself as his work. Meaning, come into the office and lay out how you are a benefit to the company and what your value is to the competition or similar role in another industry. I've had people come and say that they have an opportunity to take a job elsewhere that pays XYZ dollars (I knew what the other place was paying). Some I told that I could not match that but I could go as far as XYZ dollars and I wish them well if they decide to leave.
3. An individuals compensation is not something in the forefront of day to day operation. Meaning, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. It's on you, Clark Griswold. But don't have cousin Eddy bring the boss home giftwrapped.
This 1000 percent .
Something I think your missing is Pray on it . Then really listen.
Everyone should polish their resume and interview once a year .
Everyone is expendable and needs to know what's out there.
When you go into your boss be prepared. Bring quotes that illustrate the money you've saved the company . Pitch it as though you are applying for the job and this is your worth .
Solid dependable self starters get overlooked sometimes .
Good luck.
P.S. Luck has nothing to do with it. Opportunity does not knock . Kick the fuckin door in . Metaphorically.

308 Short(er) Range Scope?

Helos 2-12

This I go everywhere do everything rifle. Spends more time out of the locker than in it. It’s been ridden hard and put up wet. Still keeps going and still holds zero. I e only checked zero 2x with this rifle and it was perfect so checked it again yesterday after putting a 20 MOA base on it because I had Burris 2pc XTR bases before.

After dialing in 5.5mil for the base I shot 3 to get a ball park. Those are the 1 low shot and the 2 high ones. I walked away and loaded 3 more 77gr in the mag and and shot the 3 that’s a cluster. I was shooting my chair with garden sticks.

That 10.5 AR is a mean mofo.


Don’t worry about the dot being too big on the 2-12. Just use the top of the dot as a fine aiming point. Dot is .3 mil so 1.08”. I used to think it was too big also but adjusted to it and it’s been fine. It’s an awesome scope for killing things. Mine has nuclear bright illumination.

Overcooked Brass (Annealing question)

This part (red arrow) of the flame should be touching the neck shoulder portion of the brass. That is the hotter flame.

View attachment 8752887
I wanted a hotter flame, so I switched to a swirl flame head. I find the swirl flame works quite nice as it tends to wrap more around the neck and shoulder area producing pretty consistent results for the whole 360°. I did have to make sure the angle/direction of the flame was pointing a little more towards the mouth as that wrapping of the fame produced more of a bulge of the flame below the shoulder. That bulge tended to heat more below the shoulder than I like and changing the angle is the way to control that.

308 FGGM brass

It won’t last I can assure you even with annealing the primer pockets get loose pretty quick. This is using AR10 platform
The 12 firings I've got from my Federal .308 brass using moderate to hot loads is out of a factory bolt action with a premium barrel. I imagine an AR10 platform with looser chambers than typical bolt guns would certainly shorten the life of brass, like Federal that has a bit softer material than something the like LC brass. 🤷‍♂️

How much time would a man have gotten???

'Horny' nurse who was caught raping stepson, 15, when husband walked in on them takes plea deal to secure wildly light sentence

The plea deal will see her spend two years in prison, followed by two years of community control and ten years of sex offender probation.
Von Yates will also have to complete 200 hours of community service, cover court costs and pay fines.

GEISSELE MRGG 6.5 CREED WRITE UP AND REVIEW

Came here to post this. Was hoping the geissele would win. Really wish we could get more info on these test. Would love to know what made it win. Being a socom contract we know it wasn’t because of being lowest bidder.
It seems like this is military and government procurement epitomized.

I love my LMT rifles, and I'm happy they were awarded a contract with the US military. That said, it seems like it makes all the sense in the world to use the same platform for both the assaulter and the sniper versions.

I love what I've read about the Geissele, I'm going to pick up a GFR and the mrgg-s down the road

Did not know that about the Kennedy car. They should have just retired/memorialized it. Yes, creepy that other Presidents had to use it.

Not creepy at all. It was on purpose....think about it.
Creepy for the next guy that wanted to mess with the CIA and the FEDReserve.
