Ace is regionally local to me and I've talked with a few shooters and builders who've been using their barrels, the consensus is that the steel is soft and barrel life is shorter than normal.

I was of the impression most of these places got their steel from the same sources?

The seagulls reacted the way you would expect best friends to react.

The next shot precision option looks like what I’m wanting. Longer, less expensive. Anyone used them?

There is no situation I can imagine where one fuell cutoff switch is accidentally moved from Run to Cutoff, then one second later the other switch is also moved from Run to Cutoff.

Was it 1 second, or 0.1 second? It was unclear to me when I read it.

Creedmoor and probably PRC in one of my 8 twist barrels.

About the g7 bc: those are essentially the same. One of the actual experts will be along soon enough to answer, but my guess is the g1 difference is probably related to the velocity used for the calculation. And since these are long bullets without flat bases, the g1 calculation by most accounts is less than ideal to use versus the g7 calculation.

"If this is all true is doesn’t bode well for Dan Bongino and he will likely be asked to depart from his position, if he has not already resigned. This type of emotional response is considered a significant sign of instability amid executive level office holders. The either/or threat never works at this level.

Apparently no one could see this coming."

I don't see it as instability. I see it as sticking to one's morals.

I have walked off a few jobs in the past myself over issues I knew I was in the right about.

Its looking like politics isn't a place for people with morals.

Yes but… I have also quit/lost jobs on this basis before. It did not change the situation at the job; it just meant I needed to find a new job. Being right still means being broke.

No idea the validity of this but it fits with a few posts above.

Could a software bug or error have done this? A virus? A sensor failure?

Seems like fuel feed cutoffs are the sort of thing that should be controlled by a real live toggle switch. With a cover on it. And a really strong spring to keep it from moving by itself?

Step away from the carbs and sugar. Be habitually active, including strength training. Bad diet kills. Young-ish and training hard will lower the impact of bad diet, but in your 40’s+, bad dietary habits trump everything.

And that's the thing. You "walked off." You didn't "threaten to walk off" if something didn't go your way. I've done it myself, as well.

You don't "threaten" to do it. You just do it. Because your life in that job ain't worth crap if you threaten your bosses like that. If you really want to stay, for whatever reason, then so be it. Suck it up and live within the environmental rules that prevail. But, if you really want to go, you should go. The situation ain't gonna get any better. And once you communicate your displeasure to your management, your life ain't worth a plug nickel after that. They'll most likely get rid of you before you can come to a decision.

If you want to stay, then stay and don't let them know anything of your feelings. If you want to go, then go (hopefully after you've found work elsewhere).

I don't see it as "threatening" to tell them of walking intentions. Its simply "notifying" them. If it ends up with me leaving, then whoever is left behind can eat each other. Off to another horizon for me.
