in his defense , hes been full time caretaker for his wife who has dementia for the last year or two. im sure the days are pretty long having to dress and feed and adult.

personally, I think he looks ok for what he's going through
She passed a couple months ago.

Edited. I guess I'm mistaken. Still taking care of her. I thought I'd seen she passed a while ago.

Tested four different barrels for my LMT 5.56mm MRP today, unscientific findings inside with photos

I've had good luck with accuracy with my LMT rifles.

You show a picture a SS SPR 1/7 barrel, but mention a 16" 5R barrel.

I have several of the earlier (bright SS), and second generation (Black) that are LMT 18" SPR barrels, and they shoot exceptionally well, sub-moa. My first one with well over 3K rounds through it still shoots sub-moa, but as soon as it gets hot, the shots start to scatter beyond 500-yards. I primarily use various flavors of 77gr SMK factory ammo in either .223 or 5.56.

What amazed me my first LMT that I bought back around 2007, with 16" gas piston chrome lined barrel printed a 1-1/2" group at 300-yards using surplus Lithuanian SS109 ammo. That's the stuff that has the GGG head stamp, and runs Uber clean in an AR platform. Glad I stocked up on it when it was cheap and available.

Bottom Metal for Coup de Grace Build

If you don’t mind the barricade stop, I would absolutely recommend the MDT bottom metal instead, and I own both. The only reason is they have the adjustable mag latch, which is necessary to get optimal feeding for most (not all) rifles. I used it for a terminus build recently, knowing it was a 3 lug action and was able to easily adjust the latch to get the mag feeding smooth as silk.

BUT, as I said in my original post, the Hawkins has worked perfectly for me.
Oh! I did not catch the lack of an adjustable mag latch in the Hunter DBM. Very good to know.

Is yours a CDG receiver or something else?

That’s a good reason to vote for Ken Paxton. ‘Nuff said.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of Ken Paxton, but what are our options?

I literally begged Chip Roy (he’s my district’s congressman) at a fund raiser to run for the seat. I told him I’d hate to lose him in the house, but he’d be able to do even more in the Senate, and we have to get rid of that back stabbing RINO Cornyn at any cost.

And we have a couple solid options for a Chip Roy replacement here in TX21 if it comes to that… Also one of the “reddest” districts in TX.

Maybe its proximity to the border but it was something every damn time

There’s a little fucker somebody’s gonna have to deal with in about eight or 10 years when he steals your car robbed you breaks into your house and kills half your family because he’s such a little shithead

Accuracy International AX50

Actual DOPE from my (100% stock, except for a grip change) AX50 ELR shooting factory 750AMAXes (Did Browning have 750AMAXES?). Doesn't even hit transonic until about 1 mile, and people successfully load for AMAXes way hotter than factory.

ETA: Oh, and that energy number at 2100 is the equivalent of a 300gr Scenar loaded at book max for .338LM (27" TRG42) at 1050 yards. Have you seen 1,000 yd impacts from a hot 338 Lapua? I suspect you have, so you know the kind of energy they're carrying.

Everybody I know with 29 and 30 inch barrels in real life gets about 2600 ft./s at a factory AMAX, and my guess would be the AX50 is doing 2550 tops. I can’t see if you have the muzzle velocity in your chart above.

I get about 2840 out of a 40 inch barrel with 236 grains of RL 50 which is kind of the standard load for the FCSA shooters and some of the custom ammo loading companies. You can go hotter, of course, but I prefer to stay deep within the safe load zone with mine

I saw the original of that one in Raleigh, NC when it came out in 1988... Had to walk through a barrage of picketers! The soul scrubbers went mental over that movie. IIRC, we had to drive to Raleigh to see it because it was only shown in a couple of places in the region. Was not showing in Fayette County, that's for sure! I think only one theater in North Raleigh (IBM-Town) was open-minded enough to show it!

Movie didn't impress me. But the reaction to it, I thought, was pretty stupid. Never saw the controversy.

Then again I laughed my ass off all through Life of Brian and that was attacked as well. Even though it never showed Christ in any kind of negative light! Only showed the sillyness of the zealots who were obsessed with Brian!

Interesting times...

PS. The one I was thinking of was Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ”. Not the Gibson one! Thanks, @JR_77 for the correction!!!
