You know, my recent Vudoo was slightly off level so far as the rail to receiver relationship or at least I thought so when leveling the scope. Worth bothering with a new base?

Not level laterally?

got to add all the disasters in ME. Syria being only the latest. my confusion is why Trump has continued aid to Ukraine. that was a big point in his campaign. he claimed he would stop it and could have ended that war in 1 day as he claimed. here i agree 100% with Macgregor. pull out every US weapon,all US personnel (including the CIA),stop all payments of any $ and yes stop any humanitarian aid. would have to fight congress to stop everything Biden already authorized,but....
personally,i care less about what happens to Ukraine. their common people have been fucked over but that is not our problem. we basically did it and can't undo it without sacrificing even more of our resources. with the biolabs and corruption of our exec branch and congress,they can fuck off.
tell the corrupt,woke Europeans to deal with Putin. fuck Europe with a cactus. we do have a seemingly growing # of neocons on here. they sing the same song. we have to stop the Russians or they will go into Europe. good for them. none of our Z sucking dorks have ever come up with a reason we should be involved and how it is in our nat'l interest. it is always some form of but,but,but we have to,we have to. same song our in the gov neocons keep singing.
actually the same applies to Israel.

Lol, it is a form of subsidizing when such a disproportionate % of their revenue/profits are from the US. It's valid to ask why that is, and I agree it's the "system".

Non-profit insurers , well....what makes that possible but on the backs of the US taxpayer/patients and US insurers (who are in on it too)? Pharma going to get those profits some way or another...

Specifically, what are US beef cattle treated with that is outlawed in the EU?

Click to expand...

Not realy

Non-profit insurers are all state owned one way or another ,have absolute monopoly ,private insurers mainly offer extra coverage. Has nothing to do with US insurers or taxpayers .
Medical insurance especially when they have a monopoly (prescirption drugs) holds most of the leverage when it comes to negotiating prices ,as you either negotiate a price or you are not selling at all.There is no choice of taking business to someone else. Next factor is use of generics that is far more common than in US ,due to different patent and trademark laws that are bend over backward to enable max extraction for Pharma players ,further cutting pharmas bargaing power and third and most important one US Congress and Senate for decades blocked negotiating down drug prices at every step.

US beef is packing more steroids and antibiotics than your local gym ,use of growth homones has been banned in europe already in the 80's .

US meat is not banned in Europe.EU laws requires that food meets certain standards if it is to be sold to the public.
Some European meat fails those standards and cannot be sold in Europe as well. Quality meat from US sold in EU


''1989, the European Communities banned the import of meat that contained artificial beef growth hormones,[a] although they were approved for use in the United States''
A series of "hormone scandals" emerged in Italy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The first, in 1977, was the discovery of premature puberty in northern Italian schoolchildren. Investigators cast suspicion on school lunches that used illegal hormone-treated meat.

Then there is issue of extensive use of antibiotics , even the beef that is adverised to be anitibiotics free is not.Its even worse in poulty.
It’s been estimated that 70 percent of medically-important antibiotics sold in the U.S. — those used to treat human infections — are used to produce meat, dairy and other animal-sourced products. The difference between what’s presented on labels and actual use means the public may not understand the urgency. “It is going to mean that we don’t have the full appreciation of the pressure our agricultural industry puts on the ability of those drugs to resolve human infections,”

Federal Inspectors Found Antibiotics in Beef 'Raised Without Antibiotics.' They Took No Action

JBS, Cargill and Tyson appear to have misled consumers.

sentientmedia.org

Important difference is that in EU doubt in safety is enough vs US it has to be proven beyond shadow of a doubt (you can imagine science is more often than not beholden to $$$) .But that is also why there is a huge divergence on chemicals that are permited in US food.

The EU often applies the precautionary principle very stringently in regards to food safety. The precautionary principle means that in a case of scientific uncertainty, the government may take appropriate measures proportionate to the potential risk.

Yes but by that logic...
If I plan to shoot it only at 600
and I "zero" it to 600 - as most people would "zero" it to 100
Is it not "zeroed" at 600 just like I originally said?

If I NEVER touch the elevation dial and just hold elevation that I know is true, wouldn't I be "zeroed @600" instead of "dialing to 600"? It seems like that would be more accurate terminology for my application. If I were going back and forth between 600 and 100 that would make sense, but that is not my order of operations.

I always start with the 600yd hold under on the large 4'x4' plate to confirm where it is "zeroed" before shooting at the 600yd berms.
It has a YUGE flappy flag that I put around the scope that reads "600 yd zero" so between that and the Hold under at the big plate at 100, its pretty hard to miss.

Now this may just blows some of ya'lls minds - I know, try to be prepared...
but last year I had 3 different rifles "zeroed" at 3 different yardages, 600/750/1000 and would use the same setup with minimal problems.
My bullets being pushed around by the wind a little more than usual on last range visit is what prompted this question.

30L is all you really need, unless you are packing lots of additional clothing.

I really like the Direct Action bags (from Poland) as they have a front pocket (or pouch) with lots of pockets/storage options so you can organize all your small stuff without needing to buy additional pouches.

Not sure of sweet spots.
Everyone has their own idea of what type reamer and the amount of freebore for the type of

Aren't the Fury ABs discontinued? I have been waiting to see if they come out with a new version that is faster.

Their new version will be with GeoBallistics. That’s up to others but I’d prefer AB for the drag models

That’s interesting considering they’re marketed as a hybrid but you say they’re a vld

Yep, looks like they're LRHT to me, too. They typically aren't that sensitive to seating depth, but usually do best with a little jump. I believe their typical recommendation is to start at .015 off, and try in additional .015 increments - 0.30 off, .045, and up to .060 off the lands, then fine tune on either side of the best result. (However, I have no experience with these - most of what I shoot are their 230 and 245gr .308 dia., and 300gr .338 dia. LRHTs in 300PRC, 300NM, and 338NM).

Personally, I'd want to shoot a few more groups single loaded to see if it repeated.
Groups shot from a machine rest will vary a bunch from really small to rather large with most groups near the middle of the range. I'm thinking this is not new news but the one .146 group could simply be one of the really small groups.

I thought the same thing. Didn't shoot several... Only one more 5 shot group, single feed.... It measured 0.176...
