The Borg from Star Trek is an allegory for modern religion.

It's much bigger than TREX.

When you're in a Cult, and if you're lucky enough to wake up one day and say, "HOLY SHIT... I'M IN A FUCKING CULT!" then you need to take any opportunity you can to get the hell out.

...and even with that knowledge, there is a very-strong-incentive to stay in! Look at that weight room that he still has access to. Do you think his noodle arms have ever curled more than a MK12 with thousands of dollars of optics and lasers attached, standing in front of an expensive camera with a blue lens filter, operated by one of the faithful on their day off?

That's all paid for by farming out your flock and consolidating all their cash at the top, inside the "Botkin" household.

If you get in bed with regular organized crime and become beholden to them, that's bad.

They will try to control your life, and you will spend it paying back at great interest.

If you get in bed with weird religious stuff and let them control your life... and then choose to borrow $$,$$$,$$$.$$ from them...

You are mega-screwed.

This is a family drama that has no business in the public sphere. That is the ONLY hard conclusion that I have drawn. I don’t see this public family drama as being Christian one bit.

Well, they're not Christian... and some of their stuff sounds like it was very-obviously-lifted from Sunni Islam:



Lucas Botkin is using this event as the excuse to leave the Cult- and if anyone in the future asks, he and they can say, "Oh, it was some disagreement over a plastic holster company we all started."

The other Botkins that got out, like the lady above, probably get the Two Minutes of Hate at weekly Sunday Service.

What they are doing is pure evil. They are 100% Kiev regime puppets.

They know deep down the areas they riddled with mines is lost. Thing is they don't care about those who will find them, while out the other side of their mouths whine about civilian casualties. mmm hmmm.

It's incredibly repugnant.

I’m interested. I work in BR. Is this still available?

back it up

People couldn't give them away last year for 750. Now idiots are posting them for 2k? lol.

Look at the parked cars again. I think the car was going wrong way on one way street. They looked right only because it is a one way street and a car won't be coming from the left.

Lady, always look both ways. Even on a one way street. This is why. People are stupid.

I have a couple thousand rounds of BH 77 OTM that I purchased recently.
Haven’t shot any yet, so I can’t comment on velocity or accuracy, but it is loaded with the Hornady bullets.
This is indicated on the label.

The MOD 1-C is still loaded with the Sierra bullet.

GreenGO Juan said:

Thanks for continuing to prove my point. Kiev “tries” to hides military hardware in locations that if struck kills civilians. So they can cry about it, which is exactly what you’re doing right now.

You are not very good at this.

Notice you have nothing to say about the Ukrainian helicopter that crashed into the playground.

Lots of dirty games being played over there.

The fact that Ukraine is willing to litter it's country with cluster munitions, the vast majority of which will be left unexploded for future Ukrainian kids to find, really tells a lot...

This one was the very first one we fixed. Was just a bag of mush; collapsing at each shot.

This shooter shot the lights out as soon as he made the switch, and ordered all three.

That is the only way to stop it, kill & destroy until they have had enough. I often wonder where people get the idea wars have rules? Z boy is their leader, he could have stopped this long, long ago, his leadership is his country's & peoples path. All the blood & destruction is on his hands after any point, he rejected peace. If his people what to follow his ass off the cliff that's on them, as they could smoke his ass,... and stop it all at any time.

Are 155s mandated in your competition?

keep you away from transonic/super

Click to expand...

In general when it comes to accuracy performance alone, .22LR shooters need not be concerned with keeping away from transonic/super velocities.

If anyone shooting .22LR is concerned about transonic turbulence, it's not an issue with the vast majority of .22LR ammo. When transonic turbulence occurs, it's when a supersonic round slows down into the transonic zone of speeds which is from about 1340 fps to 890 fps.

Most .22LR match ammo spends much of its flight within the transonic zone, with the typical round falling out of it around 150 yards.

The bugaboo of .22LR high velocity ammo inaccuracy is directly related to ammo quality not ammo velocity.

The advantage of using slower .22LR ammo is in the fact that it drifts less in the wind than faster .22LR ammo. Comparing two rounds at 200 yards, one at 1050 fps and the other at 1125 fps, every 1 mph of crosswind causes the faster round to drift about 0.15" more than the slower round.

it is hard to believe that ukrainians are not aware of how much worse it can get.
are they being fooled by their own propaganda?
unfortunately i think the people running this proxy war just don't give a fuck what happens to the ukrainians.
bolsheviks letting them die like they did 100 years ago, only watching from brussels and washington instead of the soviet union.

There's a reason why forced conscription is such a thing in Ukraine, and why so many people fight back against the conscriptors...

Hell, even the biggest cheerleaders of the conflict on here and elsewhere (Reddit, etc) aren't over there fighting.

What does that tell you?

During the pandemic I purchased 600 of the old Lake City M118 projectiles. My son weighed them for me one weekend. Most weighed b/t 172.8 and 173.8, with two nodes at 173.1 and 173.5. This weight variance is not conducive to long range accuracy….no idea what year these were made but presumably near end of their production.

…in contrast, it’s a complete waste of time to weigh Sierra 175 grain SMKs b/c they almost always weigh exactly 175.0 grains…


FWIW, I have been asked when was the EBR-RI last issued to US Army soldiers, and while I don’t know the specific answer, this DoD picture from 2017 is the latest date that I have seen re its use in training:
