Back to ineffective ranting on his podcast and maybe some failed Congressional runs, I'd suppose.

I had great expectations for him (much more so than Kash, based upon his previous federal law enforcement credentials), but it's clear that the Epstein case is a geopolitical poison pill and for some reason he couldn't turn his extensive knowledge of Russiagate into an actual prosecution. Too bad for all of us.

Good to see you again E.

But I have a question: regardless of whether one is democrat or republican, how does someone in an appointed position expect the do hard turns against those who have been hired without voter knowledge and have spent decades hiring the same? The appointees will be gone shortly while the underlings who toe the line will be there for years and are willing to erode/stall any change.

Or maybe I am misreading your post. Totally willing to admit that.

Why do people load so hot?

Back in 2020 I competed with a large frame AR in PRS Regional Gas division and learned a lot about pressure when it came to yearlong consistency with H4350 and Varget in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't recall the charge weight but settled on moving 140's with Varget in the mid 2600's and brought the regional season trophy home. Since then, I went back to open division with a bolt rifle and used the 6GT with Varget. I stayed in the 31.5-32.5 weight range over 6 barrels to make a consistent 2830fps load. Eventually I wanted to go slower and moved to a 6mm BR with 109 Hybrid's and 29 grains of Varget for 2725fps. For the past 9 months and 2367 rounds it has remained consistent and generally stays under a 5sd for any given shot string. Since slowing things down and jumping bullet's .055 or longer I have never had to retune a load in close to 10 barrels now. This in 6GT's, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mmBR, 25GT and 6.5x47L. The exception was two barrels with tighter bores, which I will never do again. Otherwise, the loads have worked equally well in the next replacement barrel screwed on to the action provided the freebore was the same.

I love the amount you can see with the extra flight time when it comes to rifle sports... I also run a 25GT with 135 Hybrid's and a 6.5x47 with 135 A-tips in the mid 2600's for the same reason.

The looks can be priceless when speaking to shooters struggling with their combo that are running loads two or three hundred feet per second faster than you, and you just left them in the dust with a stage clean.

I have a feeling that a more modest load adds barrel life as well, but I have only shot out one-barrel and that was a 6GT that started to show signs at 3200 rounds and was definitively done at 3600ish when a 6 tenth windage shift occurred and I had lost about 60fps after cleaning... it still shot great though, LOL.

Great post. A 7mm-08 can push high BC bullet in that 2500-2600 range. Do you think there is point where the recoil is too much to make up for the extra flight time? It always seemed like the 6mm bullets don't have a real good b.c, the ballistics just looked good because of the velocity. I guess the 7mms might start running into action length problems also.

What would be a slight step up from .

Well I just bought a Telson, a Target Master victory 5-32x56. I did use a cert that I picked up off a prize table, 60% off. I appreciate a company supporting the sport and giving those out. I realize they are doing that to gain traction in the marketplace, still I appreciate it. It makes it a little easier to take a chance on a company. Time will tell if they can make it and stick around, maybe I'm an idiot and I'll have scope I can't get fixed should it need it. I took a chance on vortex very early on. That worked out, we'll see about Telson.

Optics WTS: Leupold Mk8 3.5-25x56 w/ H58 and Badger C1 Mount

I no longer use this scope, so it's got to go.

Leupold Mk8 3.5-25x56 riflescope in a Badger Ordnance C1-Max mount. The riflescope has a locking elevation turret (.10MR) with capped windage adjustment and illuminated H58 reticle.

I would rate everything as being in excellent condition. I'm located in GA and I need the money, so no trades.

$2000.00/shipped. I accept payment via CashApp, PP, or USPS Money Order.

You’re absolutely right, which is why there was more than three years invested in data collection.

The TOF data was collected in one long range session in a single day, plotting conditions throughout the collection period with nine, 12 and 16 twist barrels, all shooting the same really good lot of ammo.
