26 And he said, c“The kingdom of God isas if a man should scatter seed on theground. 27 He sleeps and rises night andday, and the seed sprouts and grows; dheknows not how. 28 The earth produces byitself, first the blade, then the ear, then thefull grain in the ear. 29 But when the grainis ripe, at once ehe puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

Why So Many Young Americans Fall for Socialism.

A lot of these points regarding child rearing is IMO very correct. But there is also the issue of being in the latter stages of an economic cycle where affordability for everyone is an issue. And it will continue to get worse. Older generations had the benefit of having time to make a nest egg if they used common sense and discipline. The younger ones dont have that and are realizing at least instinctually that they are going to have a very hard road. They are totally unprepared for this, and this is where the danger lies. They will vote for whatever they think helps ease their perceived pain. I have watched lots of videos and read books regarding the Great Depression, and what I find fascinating is that the socialism and corporatism fostered by FDR was received with great pleasure. That how we got three terms with that dude. When the chips are down people will vote for anything that helps them, its human nature.

And then some of those Depression survivors became teachers. Along came LBJ and his social welfare programs. The rest is history.

MRAD SMR barrel replacement?

Barrett SMR diagram

If not for the press fitting, a barrel change would be very straightforward with the right wrench.

edited to add I went down this road several years ago and, no surprise, a company as big as Barrett was unable to accommodate any chamberings or barrel lengths that weren’t already standard offerings from them.

How willing were they to take rifle in and swap barrels?

Whatever shoots best in your rifle man. I'd probably try to stick with a Berger if I could get the accuracy out if it that I was looking for. That's just based on less BC variation from bullet to bullet. Probably 215, or 200.20x is what I'd try. And I'd chase ES and SD more than I would velocity.

Plenty of dudes have hit the plate with other bullets though, a lot of it is luck. A lot of times guys have hit the plate out of nowhere, or tagged the plate and then can't get near the half-minute one.

I primarily shoot 215's from my winmag and at 600 yards I haven't shot in wind yet that I've had to hold off of an IPSC size target.

I was just thinking, if I wanted to give myself every advantage I could in a situation like this, what would be the absolute best bullet for the job. I've been entertaining the idea of the Warner flatline 190's.
