Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

The reason I recently updated mine is because if you deleted a shot, it didn’t change the standard deviation of the remaining string which always pissed me off because if I had an extreme outlier, I wanted to know what the rest of the string had in terms of its SD so for a whileI was going in manually putting the shot velocities into Excel, which was a pain in the ass

Iran go boom

I think that everyone is reading WAYYYYY too much into this whole situation. How we got into this mess is complicated, yes. But the decision Trump made I think was pretty simple.

1. Iran with a nuclear weapon is bad, cannot be allowed to happen or world is a much more dangerous place.

2. Trump told them to come to an agreement or else. We won't let you have a nuke.

3. Iran called Trump's bluff, announced more advance enrichment procedures an kicked the international inspectors out.

4. Trump decides that "or else" has to mean something. Because "or else" is the only thing that stops alot of bad shit with other countries every day.

5. Israel is let off the chain and obliterates all Iran's air defenses. Trump gives Iran one last chance to surrender, and they refuse. So he seizes the opportunity and blows up their radioactive toys, because right now there isn't anything they can do about it.

Thats all. All this "regime change" or "Trump starts new war" or "Israel bad" is mostly just noise. This boils down to Iran FAFO. The question is, where does it go from here. My guess is nowhere, because Trump doesn't want war and Iran doesn't have the capacity to make war with us anymore. So, isn't that a big win?

Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

I think you've done the same thing everyone in this conversation does: an appeal to data. The problem is that the available data provides nothing but data. Seems like such a simple thing to prove.

One of my best friends shoots a .308 in prs and doesn't own an annealer. He brags about getting 11 firings out of his srp lapua brass without an issue.

I have another friend who brags that the 8+ firings he gets out of his srp lapua .308 brass is only due to the annealing process perfected by amp. They can't both be right, can they?
Like I've read so many times myself where, like your friend, claims made for getting good results without annealing are made. But there's so much missing information, like. . . how much expansion is being done in the chamber and how much sizing is being done to get an idea of how much work hardening is being done on each cycle. And yes, I'd say it's actually very possible they both can be right. . . particularly if the one not annealing has a custom chamber and minimizing the sizing operation (reducing work hardening each time) with their die. Compare that to a mass produced factory chamber and you're going to see big differences in how the brass works. So, when statements like that are made, one really needs to look much deeper into what's going on and not just look at it from face value.

It's like, I've so often read how bad .308 Federal LRP brass is, lasting only 4 or 5 firings, yet I managed to get 13 firings from my .308 Federal brass without primer pocket issue (except on just one case that gave up at 9 firings) and I was using moderate to hot loads. I think maybe that's might be because my chamber was a little tighter than theirs??? At 13 firings, I trashed the cases as indication of case head separation was becoming quite evident.

If you don't have a gun that shoots better than 1 MOA, I don't think annealing makes any difference. But in a gun that can shoot less than .3 MOA, yes! :giggle: In that link I posed with a video of testing, I took that data a few years ago and put it on a spreadsheet to get a better idea of the issue we're talking about. Here's those numbers:

Iran go boom

Exactly. But the law exists, was passed BY Congress, and was followed. Only the SCOTUS can determine it to be unconstitutional, and if it ever is, Congress can only blame themselves. In the meantime, one of us declaring it to be unconstitutional is meaningless. It has been the law of the land for 52 years, has been used by every President since, and has never been seriously challenged (case taken before SCOTUS). Then there's the whole argument than an Act of war is not the same as a Declaration of war. I was just pointing out that when you stated flatly before that this attack was unconstitutional, current law does not agree, and that's what we've been going by for the last 52 years. That's a LOT of precedent.
Yes I do disagree with my government about the constitutionality of some of the things they are doing.

Now, if you'll pardon me I am going to get back to tilting at windmills.

Movie Theater Real Genius... the Ultimate 1980's "Nerd Movie?"

I think you have that backwards. The 80's were THE decade for boobs in a movie for no reason other than boobs.
Now days, with porn everywhere, there's no need.

Amy Hekerling who directed Fast Times at Ridgemont High pushed the envelope a long way. But that was part of the point of what was going on in HS then.

What I do know is the you are really a sick and disturbed little boy. I feel sad for you but see no reason to continueto put up with your enforced stupidity. Consider yourself blocked. Enjoy your own personal hell if thats how you choose to view it.
