.308 Winchester

Hey guys. I have an Sig Cross and waiting for a new comp profile 308 barrel from Straight Jacket Armory. I am building a steady hunting rifle. I say that because length plays into the equation but weight does not. So the barrel will be 18” long. I have a young son who shot that rifle last deer season in Federal 6.5 creed amd he did well with it. I was wondering, how slow can I safely shoot 308 ammo. I know he won’t shoot over 250 yards and would like to find something lower recoil for him. Looking at MV only, 2,300fps works all the way out to 400 yards.
A reduced load for H4895 or IMR 4895 under a Hornady 125 SST is your huckleberry for this. Shoot for a starting velocity of 2500-2600 fps, and a minimum impact velocity of 1900 fps at your maximum range.

They shoot soft and despite the reduced loads are often very accurate.

Zermatt Origin bolt/firing pin loose

In that specific situation, you need to remove one set screw and loosen the second one installed. Then, tighten the shroud on the pin completely and back it off three quarters to one full turn. Secure it in place with one set screw then reinstall the second with a small amount of blue Loctite.

Tariff effects on imported optics

We’re talking optics. Consumers aren’t going to tolerate a 30% price increase.
Because we didn't tolerate Vortex's MSRP and consequent street prices increases last year, or ZCO's increases, or 30% chassis price increases since 2021, Powder prices jumping 25%, etc.?

If everyone has to raise prices, there's nowhere else to take your business. You will tolerate it, because you'll have no choice.

New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill.

To not first check the autopilot shows that their command is at the very, very bottom of capability. Having had several boats with autopilot, I know that automatically without thinking that is the very first thing a skipper or helmsman would normally do.

This goes along with the NZ push to have CB digital currency. Commies in power and trying to stay that way.
Correction, to have a fully crewed Navy ship and not have a qualified Officer of the Deck, Conning Officer, and Helmsman steering ought to be a violation of the captain's standing orders, and/or a violation of the regulations for operating a Naval ship. I am not aware of any circumstances where an auto pilot would ever be engaged on a Navy ship. Even if the bridge is completely blown away you man aft steering. There just isn't a case where you would use autopilot...maybe if the crew is mostly killed by a virus, down to one, and you have to keep the engines going?
