Israel/iran

might or might not be true. possible for sure. if you remember,just before the 10/7 attack there were huge anti Beni street protests in Tel Aviv. he had pulled some corrupt shit involving their supreme court if my memory is correct. the thought that 10/7 was a distraction op has been put forward. again,not a surprise. Tonkin,Lusitania and Pearl harbor come to mind in a similar vein.

My guess is deliberate incompetence. I'd say he and his administration knew of the attack, what, when and how it was going to take place but allowed it to politically save his own skin.

Israel/iran

So , if we used stealth bombers to attack Iran's hardened nuke bomb facilities, how would anyone know it was us? Honestly, saying Israel doesn't have the capability seems like a dumb statement when they took out half of Hezbollah by sending pager signals. I really think it's silly at this point to underestimate Israel, or believe a fucking word those goat fucker, 12er, Satanists say.

It's not like they show up on any radars, and those beasts fly out of Scott all the time in the middle of the night. It wouldn't raise so much as an eyebrow, and we could just say it wasn't us, and I'm rubber and you're glue.

Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

My guess is the die was incorrectly set up. This is based off the fact that I've done the exact same thing before. in my case, I swapped from one die manufacturer to another and didn't read/follow the instructions exactly.

No brass prep isn't the way that I'd do it, but unless you tried to seat a flat-based bullet in a obviously damaged case mouth already you aren't going to create a shortened and improved case just by seating a boat tailed bullet. That is a die setup issue.

You can also have stupidly tight 'neck tension' - interference fit, and the boat tailed bullet is just going to essentially act as a mandrel... but you may see copper shavings. I did that once too with getting a bushing that was way too tight. Same thing with not chamfering the case mouth... shavings but no crush with a boat tailed bullet.

Flat based bullets are a different animal. Since we're talking 7PRC, I'm going to assume that this wasn't the case though.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

It’s interesting how Ukraine targeted specific strategic military weapons platforms with no casualties, while Russia uses drones to specifically attack civilians.

What’s worse is Americans condoning that kind of behavior and thinking it aligned with any type of coherent moral system.

When was the last time anyone in America criticized a foreign leader for defending themselves from unwarranted aggression like this?

Something is way off.

Long gong

Our experiments with different distances has been five stages:
100 Meters 3, 2, 1"
200 Meter Large 8, 6, 4"
200 Meter Small 6, 4, 3"
300 Meter Large 10, 8, 6"
300 Meter Small 8, 6, 4"

What I'd like to find are rectangular targets but hanging in a vertical orientation. D_M and another have horizontal sets, but the "luck" factor we'd like to minimize is elevation change from velocity.
Here’s an 11”x18” vertical rectangle made specifically for Long Gong Zero finding:

No Kings, how about No Queen

Yes, the "no kings" crowd overwhelmingly supported a presidential candidate who was nominated without an election. There is a lot more to unpack, but that is definitely the most obvious low-hanging fruit. Ironically, the per capita amount of 'fruits' who were protesting the king was quite high also.

Long gong

I could care less to be honest I'm 51 and I've been shooting 22 LR competitions since I was 16 either in rifle or pistol but that's beside the point. I don't care what you do these forms end up being pissing contest more than anything to each his own I'm glad there's people that push the limits but common sense comes in an effect sometimes But I forgot nowadays that's a rarity
I’m in no pissing contest. You said that you couldn’t understand why anyone would push the limits of a caliber.

I've never understand why people do stuff or push the limits of a gun or caliber was designed for.
I answered so that you might understand. Don’t get mad bro.

Older NightForce NXS 5.5-22x56mm vs. New Arken

As stated, that era of NF had "okay" glass, but they were typically very reliable.
I concur that, even with a new DNT or Arken, it is a step down.
However, you don't "need" to spend NF money to get a very good, reliable scope with a zero stop and good glass.
Since you were considering Chinese made optics, what comes to mind is the Athlon Ares series, but honestly, I would go for the Japanese made Tract, Maven or Delta Stryker optics. You can get illumination, locking turrets or zero stop (sometimes both) and glass that is quite good. The 4-25 Tract gets a thumbs up from many that have experience with it.
