The View doesn't need Biden to be a forgettable show.

How did they talk the Vatican into selecting the new Pope this morning so that everyone would forget Biden's performance on The View?

Clarification/update - the final qualification opportunity was held, as scheduled, on 4/26 and one more shooter qualified for the 3K. ONLY the 3K itself will be held on Sunday, May 18th. 3K "registrations" submitted by non-qualified shooters will be ignored and those individuals will be notified accordingly.

New Pope. American.

American Is Elected Pope for First Time​

"VATICAN CITY—American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the 267th pontiff of the global Catholic Church, taking the name of Pope Leo XIV."

PM enroute

This is me guessing from all the threads I've read on the subject, but sounds like the 75gr ELD-Ms are kind of shit.
A great BC and can shoot well, but not very consistent and are generally more sensitive than other bullets.

My 700 trainer build shot the 75gr ELD-M like hot ass (the bad kind) at every seating depth but .030 off. It went from a MOA load to a half-minute with just that depth. I tweaked it a bit more and it became a 3/8ths load...but that bullet in MY barrel is picky as all get out about seating depth.

Conversely, the 69 and 77gr SMK is boringly consistent in this barrel. Not 'lights out' accurate, but you kinda have to screw something up to shoot worse than a .6.

Sure it did.

What a whiner. I suffered multiple injuries worse than that before I reached high school.

I’veactually never met @lash. Haven’t shot any long gun comps since I left the panhandle. Haven’t shot anything at Volusia since December.

We’re headed to Tampa area Saturday . Will have to check out Joe’s.

Interested in an Element Hunter in 7mm PRC, please.

Well, the new pope is at least American born. Not that I care about Catholicism, but hey it's news at least. Christ is King!

Socialism is really a form of brain damage. These people can read the Constitution and understand literally nothing about it. They think everything is a right, from healthcare to home ownership to raping children. They think everyone is a citizen and entitled to the rights of a citizen. They cannot understand the concept of a border and they simply pine away worrying about the rights of criminals, rapists, drug traffickers and gang members.

What is more amazing is that they do not think a single Republican or conservative leaning person on the planet is entitled to any of these same rights and protections. They celebrated every hoax conviction of an elderly person who wandered the Capital Building on January 6th and could have cared less about the murder of that guardsman. They celebrated openly when their minions tried to kill President Trump and to this day they demand more of their followers try it again.

The more interesting idiot is the congressman from Oregon. Blaming the FBI for prosecuting illegals and deporting them. No matter how many times Kash Pattel tries to explain the FBI does not prosecute or deport anyone, he fails to grasp the concept. You can see his low IQ on full display. He has absolutely no idea how any works or why it works, he just knows orange man Bad.

I just ordered a couple of these.

That's been my opposite experience on my DTA with a 7.7tw barrel. The 75s were less picky than the 80s ELD-M.
Of course all these problems went away when I switched to the Berger 80.5, the true patrician 224 bullet.

Click to expand...

Pretty much same price for 80 ELDs as the Bergers, seems like the way to go

Jp's handguards are the worst part about their rifles...super fugly but that new semi mono upper they have now is probably more solid then anything else out. Id like to see a POI test done on one of those. The gas block clearance tho is excellent.

Ive already done one with the SCI-20, it's in the POI Thread.

I'll try the 80.5 with N540, it's what I got...

Going to use the balance beam for these also.

My throat was set up with an extra .020" freebore over the standard Wylde chamber, so with the 75g ELDM I'm at the lands at 2.510" Still fits and cycles just fine in the poly MDT mags. I shoot them at .025" off though at 2.485" as that's where they shot the best with seating depth test.

I can't go much higher on the load. 25.5g N540 is about absolute max in this rifle at 3075fps. There maybe a node at 25.3g around 3040-3050fps from initial testing, but that's to close to the ragged edge for me, especially in summer when it gets 90-100.

Click to expand...

Try anywhere from 24.5 - 25.0 N540 with the Berger 80.5 10-20 off the lands.

Accurate 2015/BR is an excellent powder for 50-55 grain 5.56 loads, and is widely available and often cheaper than alternatives.

I've been using 24.5 grains in an AR w 55g blitzking for over 30 years with tiny groups.

I think the seekins triangular shaped handguards on their semi-monolithics are fugly as hell and I like to make fun of JP for making round handguard tubes in 2026. But guess what problems you never have with either of those two handguards?

They say these folks are siding with Trump, but they are actually just complying. Trust me, the left is woven through education and they are simply surviving right now. Their views are still the same, and they are waiting for the opportunity to spring right back to where they were.
