Iran go boom

I'm pointing out facts that discredit your uninformed opinions. I'm not the one speaking in absolutes either. We have common interests and common enemies with Israel, like the one's who've been chanting "Death to America" for almost fifty years.
I'm sure the traders on Wall Street will miss this opportunity to make wheel barrows of cash because Trump told them not to do it.

6.5 Creedmoor

I took apart two different lot numbers of 708 to find 9/10's difference .the lighter load was better . sure I cant say its the same powder,looked the same but so what .

As I said after that post you quoted from 2012, Hornady listed that 41.5grns since the beginning of loading the 140 AMAX as the recommended load data. Not is what is in the case in every lot as they change as we do when a lot of powder is different from another. Pulling apart rounds is a waste of time.

Iran go boom

the Iranian theocracy is awful. Islam is satanic. but Im sick of Israel's bullshit. we owe them nothing and we should give them nothing. all they do is scream how they are the ultimate eternal victim ......while ethnically cleansing everyone whose land they want to take, or who threatens their genocidal aspirations. fuck that. this country needs less Pat Robertson Christians and more Ferdinand and Isabella Christians, and then we can sort out who is for us and who is against us.
Since about 1,900,000 Arabs, or 20% of the population, live in Israel proper (land they directly control), and since there are eleven non-Jews (I think one or two are Druze) members of the Knesset, and since there have been Arabs on the Knesset since the very first election in 1949, it seems they're incredibly shitty at ethnic cleansing. Some say the worst ever. While the Arabs around Israel have declared they intend to murder every Jew in the Levant; Israel has never said it wanted to do anything but peacefully exist with them.

Why don't you look up how many Jews live in Gaza, The West Bank, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria (there are some in Jordan), or for that matter how many Christians exist in those countries. There are some, but their numbers have been dropping since the 1950s in every one of them as they are completely persecuted and murdered often. They are never full citizens with full rights, but Dhimmis. An Arab Israeli has the exact same rights as a Jewish one. There is no difference in the courts or anywhere else.

While it's true that many Canaanites did flee in 1948, there was never a program to remove them, and the Jews let everyone stay who wanted to stay despite everything that was going on at the time. Indeed, the success of the Mossad has to be largely laid at the feet of those two million Arabs who serve in both the military and intelligence branches of their government. There is no way they could so effectively infiltrate and surveil their enemies without them.

These sorts of statements of moral equivalence are false on their face. There are plenty of real reasons to dislike many cultures. Ones that keep to themselves and resist integration certainly not withstanding. Obviously you are free to not give a fuck or hate anyone you want, but it should at least be somewhat based in reality.

I would never argue that our alliance with Israel has been a 50%/50% proposition, but rather it has been based on shared interests and shared enemies. Without relitigating history, anyone who thinks if we kicked Israel to the curb today all our enemies in the ME would suddenly stop wanting to kill us is crazy. It's religious and ideological, not practical. Never was.

On the ATXC probably not as they promise to come out with the larger bolt head eventually (holding breath in utter excitement) and you can’t buy spare bolts for them yet

I have spares for my AT rifles. One is getting finished up at Black Canyon currently with a 300 WSM barrel

I’m sure you can mod the factory ATXC bolt and the 6.5 barrel is the same across the other platforms. I believe AI says it void’s warranty if you do that though just fyi
Black canyon opening up the face and doing the barrel work? What length are you going with? I just hate the availability of bolts.

Iran go boom

Well, I meant what does the Constitution actually say about it? It grants Congress the sole power to declare war, but an attack is not a declaration of war. The last time Congress actually declared war was in WWII. A lot of serious war has happened since then with no declaration from Congress. The War Powers Act of 1973 states the President is required to inform Congress of any commitment of troops to a military action (attack, etc) within 48 hrs, and to remove them within 60 days if Congress doesn't authorize it by that time. In this instance, they were notified within a couple of hours, and the troops were already withdrawn.
The Constitution is explicit that only Congress has the power to declare war. Prior to the War Powers Act, Congress allowed the Executive to engage in acts like Nixon bombing Cambodia without consequence. These actions likely violated the Constitution and should have resulted in Presidents being impeached.

The War Powers Act granted the Executive wide discretion to deploy American military and paramilitary forces. It is my belief that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional because the powers granted to the Executive by the War Powers Act are the functional equivalent (bombings, boots on the ground for up to 60 days, etc.) of a declaration of war, which only Congress can do.

Funny, because I was just noticing that I need to buy TP for the first time since 2021. Not that we were hoarding, but for a few months, whenever a package was available at the store... would buy one. Not 6. One. Whether the old one was done or not. By the time I noticed, had a 5 year supply! Well, there ya go. It doesn't go bad!!!

In fact, I liked not having to think about it so much, I may go to Costco and get a 5 year supply again!
It's a principal to live by if you have a little extra storage space. Buy extra when on sale. You will save money in the long run.

Thinking about another new can.

I want another can. I’d like to eventually have a can dedicated to each of my more frequently used rifles. Rather than buy another HUXWRX I’d like to try another highly rated can. I’m definitely not unhappy with the HUXWRX and as mentioned.. although I’d hope to never put my systems through hard use, I’d like to have a suppressor that could easily tolerate it.

I do really like the fact that the CAT ODB 718 fills ALL of these roles and its HUB compatible so I can simply by the HUXWRX mount and use it and the Flow 762 on each of these systems at any time and compare back to back. That sounds very interesting to me

I highly doubt you will ever damage one of the Ti cans unless doing multiple full auto mag dumps but if you wanted inconel then also check out the B&T 762 also. It will save you about $300 and also a free stamp.
