brand new car urge

My 2 favorites(they aren’t new though) would be any w221 or later S65 or w213 E63(my pick would be a wagon)
The old E63 wagon was niiiiiice!

Really wish they’d have brought the C63 over to the US market; got to drive one when we lived in Germany…what a hoot!

Saw an M5 wagon a few days ago…that was cool as shit too. Here’s a brand new one local to me for $150K:


…gears inside my cranium turning…

Edit: @sloporsche you suck! :ROFLMAO: I think you just cost me $150K…

To replace my wife’s X5 that got totaled back in February when a dude in a huge truck ran a red light and took off the front end of her car:

We wound up getting her a loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee as a replacement vehicle, but it’s just not the same. I’m seriously thinking of just cutting my losses and giving it to our son and his wife…they have a baby on the way and will need a larger car soon anyway.

We’re also looking at the AMG C-Class or E-Class SUVs, but they’re no longer available with a V8. And she has a long history of driving go-fast combis too!

She drove a 6-speed 528 e40 wagon for years, had an older 528 wagon in Germany, as well as a new A4 Avant, and a couple Lesbarus back when we were younger (and poorer too, LoL), etc. And while I’d prefer a Porsche Panamera wagon (almost $300K nicely equipped though :eek:), or the Audi RS6, she likes the BMW better, and this would be a nice continuation of that tradition…

You sound like a friend. He was captain of the AF rifle team for years. Had several contacts in the AMU. They would try something, change their minds and call him. He called me once and asked if I needed 7mm projectiles. Forget how many he brought back…ammo cans full. His family will have a heck of an estate sale

I buy very little ammo. I reload so I can shoot. I shoot so I can reload. Hand in hand for me.
Maybe I know your friend. I used to shoot with some guys on the Air Force rifle team. I got this shooting jacket from them years ago. They ordered it for a new guy on the team and it was way too big for him. They said it was more hassle than it was worth to try to send it back so they traded it to me for some 77gr projectiles.

7mm SAW

Tried as much as .12” jump couldn’t get the lrx to stay under 0.8” consistently. Ran out and didn’t feel like ordering any more.

I haven’t tried seating depth test with the 162s and probably won’t. 2.25” bto is 18 thou off the lands for this barrel and just short enough to fit in my AW mags.

Going to load up 100 rounds this week to confirm dope out to 600 next weekend
I’ve killed bears and deers with the 162 eldm… all bang/flop DRT … not you’re missing out unless your state requires coppers …
I run the 160s at 2.935/2.945in feeds perfectly in my Hawkins extended coal hunter magazine.

DI Precision (about post)

With it being close to another month, any updates on the situation at hand?

Get this is out of your hands, it's not fun to answer for someone else. Would like to know the status, I'm sure it's not productive for you to stay on the phone at the shop answering questions.
I spoke at length with Jacob today. The shop is set up and functioning, employees have been hired and are in the process of training. The FFL was applied for and check cashed on the 18th June, as soon as FFL is issued, they can start sending out actions and continue to build orders. I have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday morning with Jacob and Jack to discuss how rifle builds will be handled going forward. I appreciate your patience and will build and deliver orders as soon as possible. The bright side is we have developed a process that will allow more barrels per day without giving up accuracy.

The fat shot

I am going to live and travel in a class A RV for the next couple of month. Does anyone have an exercise regimen that does not require equipment and/or gym membership? I am 65 and do not need to lose weight but build and maintain upper body muscle mass.
Push-ups, body weight squats knees over toes, and some way to do chins. 3 sets until failure every other day.

The fat shot

If you want to do one thing to make a huge difference, just stop the soda.
You could drop a ton of weight only from that.
You don't need to drink that shit, the sugar has you addicted.
Good luck
I weaned myself off the sugar drinks by progressively diluting them with water. First 50/50 then 75/25 and so on.
I still don't like pure water unless I am really, really thirsty but water with a dusting of lemonade powder or little bit of orange juice works for me to stay hydrated. I seems to be a psychological addiction to the palate stimulation.

Car theif caught in Medina TX

Login to view embedded media
And he surrenders without incident and then when he’s cuffed they shoot his eyes out with a pepper ball gun, literally shoot his eyes out at contact distance

Car theif ass hole ; if he’d have fought the street or pulled a gun or knife of even fought hard . But this looks like pure saddistic torture to me and the officer that did it is facing up 9 years after his felony assault conviction.

The thing I always struggle with , multiple people on the scene, lots of cameras - who thought this was a good idea and how did not one of them say something like “hey don’t this minor in the face at close range with a air gun while your on camera and he’s in cuffs you’re going to get us all jammed up “. Not one . Hopefully he can ruminate on this one while in Gen pop at Huntsville prison. I hear they have a decent library infirmary.

I remember when this happened and just say the update that he was indeed convicted, not even qualified immunity saved him from this one , wonder if he tortured animals like is being discussed in the other thread ?

Strelok Pro

I just followed Igor’s instructions to use the trail version of iMazing, and was able to get StrelokPro on to my iPhone 15. Everything seems to work fine, version is 7.14. The sharing via iCloud (import / export) between my iPad and iPhone works as well.
I don't remember seeing any iMazing option for a free trial, nor did I come across any instructions from Igor. Can you clarify for the community?

As for me - I made the jump to Applied Ballistics Quantum a few weeks ago. The level of support via YouTube videos and forum posts helped me overcome my objection to the subscription model. I've used it in two matches now. All good.

Keep waiting to see the Primary arms 2.5-20 or just get NF 4-16

Thank you both for the feedback. Glassaholic big thanks for your detailed thoughts. The NX8 would have been a consideration but i already have a badger ordnance mount for a 34 mm tube. That is why i had been waiting to see what the primary arms might be and would fit a nice mount I already have. Great point on new possible design issues and getting things worked out. All that being said i read this and placed and order for the 4-16 on a site that hadn't updated NF pricing yet. Hopefully it goes through......

7mm SAW

Have not had stellar results with the 145 lrx and Varget or h4350. Decided to stick with the 162 ELD M and X.

This mornings range report:
42.3 gr varget 2.25” bto was the ticket for both. .5-.6” group average.

2790 fps with the eldm
2820 gps with the eldx

22” barrel suppressed.
Alpha brass.
Little to no swipes on 42.3. 42.5 had 20 more fps and about equal group sizes, but was having more prominent ejector swipes on every round.
I had to jump the 145 LRX quite a bit to get them to shoot. On the other hand, the 160 TMK and 162 ELDm were easy to tune, the usual 15-25thou

I hate doing load dev with coppers… gets expensive real fast and I’ll usually settle for a 0.5-0.75 moa load because I won’t shoot them far on game anyways. TMK and eldm I get mad if my group get > 0.5.

42.3 varget is also my load for 160 tmk and 162 eldm. Bartlein 3B 22in, 2800 FPS.
