This was the initial rebuild of my left knee tendons in 2016. Used a long portion of my right IT Band and a piece of the right patella tendon. TKR was four years later and far less traumatic, though the night after surgery was very uncomfortable. Would definitely not want to do both at the same time!

TKR was July 2, 2020. I rucked a 50 pound pack about 1.5 miles onto a local sea island and camped to honor the victims of September 11th just 71 days later. You can see there was far less trauma from the TKR. This was taken 11 days out. At exactly 90 days out I was back on the dirt bike for over an hour of mountain trail riding. TKR was a far better result.

Is Campi Flagrei about to cook off?

chrome
Lived in Naples (Pozzuli, literally the center of Flagrei, on the end of the solfatara of the rim of the super volcano) for almost 3 years.

That thing burps daily, ground swells daily, active sulfur vents all over the town.

If that thing goes, southern EU/Northern Africa is fucked initially, then rest of Europe from ash.

That culture knowingly built on top of that place. I got little empathy.

How long is too long for a bolt gun barrel and suppressor?

secondofangle2
gonna rebarrel my (shot out) single shot (short action Rem 40-X) 7mm mag to 7PRC, loaded for 180s. Current barrel is 27.5", but it has a brake. New barrel will run a TBAC Magnus RR can. I ordered a Krieger w 28" finish length, but I'm beginning to wonder if that's going to be too long with a 10.5" can on it. Shortest I would go would be 26". Going to 28" will get me ~50fps more velocity. This will be a varmint slayer (Sendero profile, heavy), so won't have to carry it anywhere

When does barrel + can on a traditional bolt gun get so long as to be a mistake?

My view this morning.

It should be this right now. Instead, I'm sitting at the cabin trying not to puke. 🤢

I forced a half cup of coffee into my system, but that just made me poop again. 💩💩
Gatorade helped a little.

@lash @Schütze and Tad, hope you guys are killing it out there. Looks like a trigger pull morning.

We were @Mike Casselton. Missed you and your supreme spotting skills though. It was a great trip worth doing again. 👍🏻👍🏻

Just curious if your powder charge of 34.2gr is a typo... the start load in Hornady's #11 is 37.3gr, and 38gr on the Hodgdon web site for the 147gr ELD-M.

not a typo, I got the data from Hornady online app. They said max is 43.8, I kept going up till I had Pressure signs, I was able to get it as far as 44.5 before the groups blew out and the bolt handle got real tight. I have found that the Berger 140 VLD does better groups and I can get 2900fps + with the same charge.
