If he’s white, he’ll be euthanized for his terrorism. If he’s non-white, he’ll get a parade and a government job for his bravery.

Spent a couple of hours looking for artifacts in the creek with my grandson. We didn’t find any today but had a good time anyway. I think we are going to buy a couple of gold pans and try our hand at finding some flakes.

Just show him the Bear Pit, lots of flakes there.

Shotmarker is your friend. Put together a large frame so you can easily shoot through it at 1000+ yards; it’ll give you average velocity at the target which will help compute an accurate BC.

Let me know when you'd like to give that a try. I built this a couple years ago. I can set it up myself, but it's much easier with 2 sets of hands. The gun needs to be over 1300 fps at the old NorCal URSA 2K shooting position.



Velocity won't work though. I get the most consistent results with vertical position. I used to test BC uniformity digiscoping with something that had a reticle. Plot the impacts on a sheet of paper with a copy of the reticle on it. Correct each shot for velocity and distance, plot that on the reticle centerline, draw a 1 moa error bar around the high and low shots, then calc the max and min BC spread from the inside and outside of those 2 circles. The BC from the average was incidental.

The distance that worked best was ~2K yards at 3 or 4K' DA. That gave the best signal to noise ratio. The reality is on even the best days, while spotting the difference between 3 and 6% BC spread is straight forward, it gets pretty fuzzy below 2%. There are practice days and there are truing days. Not a lot of days where the conditions are mild enough to do ELR truing.

i believe "she" is implying that all professional sports are a distraction for the masses so they don't pay attention to reality.
like my buddy that watches lots of sports and didn't give a shit about politics, until they made it illegal to ride his dirtbike.

Bread and circuses....

The NFL is part of the circus. So is the NBA... the MLB, the NHL, the Chicks playing basketball, the Olympics, NASCAR, Bass Fishing on TV...

Just 'sayin.

Yes, spend what is needed to lock that scope to the rifle. If you feel that a $150 mounts the scope solid, fantastic grab it. Some don’t like QD mounts but I do. Get a cantalever mount. Figure what cant you need, but make sure it is solid. It does not need to cost $500.

6.5 creed stainless CTR in W3.

Seeing what I can do with the factory barrel this year, will get a Bartlien or Krieger m24 at somepoint. Waiting on the heavy arca rail and 2 round quiver and I think I'll have the chassis dialed.

under 500, not that it really matters with a 22lr

Sold !

I dropped down to 82.1 to test seating depth started .050 from lands and also tried .030 and .070.
This produced about 2910 avg velocity and a 26 ES for the five shots. Also started flattening the primers at .070.

I'm still running Strelok. Based on all the people I shoot with succesafully running AB, I am going to download and learn how to use it.

@Alaskaman11 assuming the post by @Alaskaman574 is also you? Responded on that thread, but cplnorton and belvedere are right. Totally different.

Thank you, Sir!

ABQ is truly the only option at this point. And it’s only a yearly fee if you want to unlock Pro. It’s either a one time fee for Elite or you buy a device with Elite onboard such as a Kestrel 5700 Elite. More and more devices are getting rolled into the ABQ environment.

It has its limitations, such as only one device can connect to it at once. But it is still the top of the heap. The research and data that Litz and crew put into it just cannot be replicated any other way with any other tool.

Understood. I was picturing a scenario where they BOTH think they're right...who gets the aircraft at that point?

The instructor evaluator would take the aircraft as they are likely considered the PIC. I know my buddies in the Air Force will say rank doesnt mean anything, within reason, in regards to operating the aircraft. They have specific aircraft commander qualifications. They could have a full bird in the right seat new to the aircraft with a LT in the left seat as A/C commander. The LT is in charge during operations of the a/c. I think the Army has the same so a CWO, even though subordinate to a commissioned officer, could/would be the aircraft commander. In the case we are discussing im pretty sure the CWO was the aircraft commander as he was acting as an instructor/evaluator.

Great idea, do it...
But.........
Don't forget gemstones, you are there in nature so if they have gems in that area, keep your eyes peeled for them as well.
With as much large amounts of dirt and rivers and mountain sides turned and washed away, that has exposed parts of the earth from 10s of thousands of years ago, I would expect a new gold rush. If you hit a sweet spot only tell me.

No worries, I’ll wait. Like at my age why am I even taking part in this conversation? Purchasing another rifle makes no sense when I need to be divesting our collection of single action handguns, hunting rifles and other firearms that haven’t seen the light of day in a long, long time. Still, the Vudoo I took delivery last April, has been one of the joys of my life, virtually taking over all my shooting time and energy. I suppose that’s why I am so concerned. If Vudoo was stable, Another might actually be a future purchase if my blessed good health continues.
