More along these lines. A third party could make a difference locally and in Congress. Plus, the only way a party will survive and be viable is if it can successfully get candidates elected that actually stand for the party. Even if there’s traction, the standard uniparty strategy is to temporarily placate and assimilate a third party. It’s happened numerous times.

id be curious if any of the f-class or benchrest dudes here or at accurate shooter worry about variances in bullet overall length, case neck length, etc

Bullet OAL, yes. Easy way to reduce BC variability.

Case neck length... yes, but mainly out of OCD

You should take a look for yourself.

95% of Germans during the Nazi rule were Evangelical Christians.

In South Africa, the Dutch Reformed Church was how the apartheid regime was organized.

The Germans were also 100% of european decent, that's a higher percentage than were Christians, so maybe that's why. Or 96% of them came from 2 parent households, so maybe that's why, or 100% of them said it was cold in the winter, so maybe that's why. Correlation doesn't equal causation. Also, as the evidence mounts, it keeps looking more and more like that narrative keeps falling apart. Seems like the scale of that event may have been massively exaggerated, including the number of people who participated in anything related to a genocide.

As far as Apartheid, they were doing what was best for everyone. You may not be comfortable with it, but it doesn't change the facts. Before European colonization, it was mud huts and constant murder with sharp sticks. Famine, war, starvation, mass rapes, disease, etc. After apartheid ended, it quickly went right back to what it was. Those are facts, no matter how they make you feel.

I’m pretty sure shifting under load has been worked out by this version

And your list of consumables per year is exactly why I’m looking at this. Even doing my own work that stuff adds up to the cost of a gearbox pretty quick. The Gates belts last essentially forever and the only maintenance the Pinion needs is an oil change every 10,000 miles

I’m not a cross country rider tracking weight by the gram so the weight isn’t that relevant. It’s also on the lowest, most central part of the bike where it will be less noticeable

I’ve actually built this already in my head. The bike clanging around my noggin is one of the unbranded Chiner titanium hardtail frames with some sort of mid-grade build. Then trickle in various carbon fiber and titanium pieces/hardware as funds allow

I wish there was another way to do the chain drive train other than having a derailleur hanging down but it is what it is. I managed to bend the derailleur on two of my bikes. The bike shop just bent them back but the shifting is barely acceptable on one of them. It's kind of a back up ebike(the old Bakcou Storm) so I left it alone not wanting to dump money into it. I basically only use it nowadays for getting firewood back in the FS via the trailer I have for it.

Suppose also until they refine a transmission better than Pinion is now I'll stay with old conventional drivetrain. Though it would be neat to have a transmission that was smooth and seamless between all the gears.

Are CVT transmissions being developed more> saw a video about a prototype one time??

I'm not super happy with my GX Eagle because the shifting is delayed slightly and when it's cold out it gets more sluggish or a shift is ignored like the signal didn't arrive so I have to push the shift button again. The battery on my ebike supplies the power to the GX motor so I don't need to be concerned there, however I changed the battery on the shift controller which didn't help much(a little better) at the time last winter. That same controller battery is still in my bike and the shifting is fine now because it's summer time.

Make no mistake, these are the same people who champion abortion rights; they hate children……..right up until they use “it’s for the children” to claim we shouldn’t have the right to bear arms or to restrict our freedoms in other ways. Demented minds apart from God.

Then you probably won’t be changing to anything that doesn’t have a 1/4 mil reticle.

Pm inbound

That is very true on reading the reticle, I just find it much easier to have consistency. I had multiple reticles in the past and was so much easier when I consolidated down to SCR 2 1/4 for all my match rifles. When I shoot my SCR 2 reticles it makes me focus and think a bit more now that I’m used to the 2 1/4.

I use this for weed control. Looks expensive, but only requires about 5 oz for 20 gallons of solution.
I'm also putting in a dedicated landscape well for the lawn, trees.

To clarify your comment, you put the Pro 3rd because of the glass quality or because of the reticle darkness or lack there of? Or reticle design?


From the comments so far it’s sounds like to get a large improvement im going to have to buy ZCO/TT. And the improvements by going to Razor/ATACR are minor but would then have to learn different reticles from my other rifles or switch all of them. Sounding like best bet is look for another Pro.

Click to expand...

Both. And if going on a .22 like you said the amount of elevation will come into play also.

And you don’t have to learn reticles. They are right there telling you what they are.

Yessir. I’m not married to the 300NM. Just based on my own research, I have narrowed in. If you were shooting 1500-1mile, what would you run? At some point, I would hand load….yes. But off shelf ammo to start

Click to expand...

Off the shelf ammo I would go 300PRC or the 7PRC mentioned above. If you are serious about those ranges though then you definitely should load as you can change bullets and powder to tweak a good load.

Also don’t go short on the barrel. I would be looking at a minimum of 28” for a big magnum and wanting to do what you want.

Any trades?

There’s nothing to disagree with here. Do those facts bother you?

Click to expand...

Sir, they aren't facts, they are your opinion, and of course I disagree. By the way, how is Africa doing in this post apartheid period?

It was the best period of prosperity they ever experienced. Many of the older Africans in the countries that drove out the white people now sit around in squalor and say openly that it was the worst thing that could have happened to them. As far as the Nazis, Christianity played no part there. They were heavily involved in the occult and magic and a whole bunch of other religious perversion. I really don't want to spend the rest of the day showing you how wrong you are. That's why I tried to avoid taking this any further.

Razor Gen III and S3 would be my choices of a step up from the Pro and I have had all three and used them in matches. The Pro wasn’t bad but the reticle was a big turn off for me being not overly dark and blending more so not a good contrast. Glass wasn’t bad but between the Pro and the other two the pro would always be third place for me.

Maybe take a look at 7prc if you want similar distance capabilities as the 300prc, but less recoil. Factory ammo is available as well.

More of a generic term. The guns I shoot now are ”off the shelf”.

Click to expand...

Well I’d stop using it if you are looking at a magnum as it will cause all sorts of confusion.

1250 yards is simple for a Creedmoor and even a mile is doable but if you want to do it regularly and have no problem with magnums then go that route for sure. A 300PRC would do it and allow some factory ammo options if you wanted them. You plan to hand load right?

A “PRS gun” isn’t going to be intended for 1250+, in fact it’s the opposite. It’s smaller calibers with less recoil and consequentially they run out of steam way out there. Your 6.5 creed is large end for prs and you’ve found that out yourself.

Real time video of how fast the river rose. Holy Shit. At 35 minutes you can watch a house float into the bridge. I've seen tank cars on the James in Virginia but never an entire house.
