Suppressors and SBRs out of reconciliation bill

61 years on this earth and this is the first time I have heard of a "senate parliamentarian" or his ability to just re-write bills at a whim. Our school system sucks.

And where was this lousy piece of shit when they were forcing Obamacare through?
i share your ignorance. i never heard of a senate parliamentarian. WTF? just another way to keep anything from changing and give our corrupt rulers a "legal" excuse to do nothing meaningful. yea,where was this shit for many times we could list as being destructive to our society?

Finding a wife

used to hate the thought of getting old. the current "dating scene" (at least last 20yr) sucks as far as i see. being old lets one not give a shit. coming social credit score,dig money,economic crash due to 37 tril debt,much increased inflation,crime out of control all that i will not likely see to its conclusion. for guys < 50/60 i am most worried but with no power to change it. my grands,gr grands will suffer those. as i and many have said,we are not voting our way out.

Annealed brass opinion

One thing I forgot to mention in my struggle with SDs is that this 6.5 PRC H4831 load is 92% case fill with 100% burn according to Quick load.
Since I tend to load long and hand feed my 6.5 PRC cartridges for target shooting, my case fill is just a little less than that. Having used 3 different bullets (Berger 140 Hybrid, 142 SMK and Berger 153.5's) with H4831 SC, I've surprisingly got some very good SD's (like in the mid single digits). I didn't expect that given such a low fill, but I think the way I handled the cases when chambering them probably helped. 🤷‍♂️

I imagine if I were using the larger kernels, my case fill would be a little more. 🤷‍♂️

gen 3 razor turret adjustment scales

Ok now I have the terminology, I want the inner turret zero to line up with the outer turret zero.
the g2 you can do that but how do you do the gen 3?
What are you talking about? You leave the turrets on zero and locked and then loosen the one screw and then zero the rifle with the top dial. That simple. Then tighten one screw when zeroed and done. No need to do anything else.

Finding a wife

I'd like to get another dog but unfortunately I'm gone too much of the day, it wouldn't be right. Especially since I like high energy, spastic dogs. Perhaps my career will change in a few years and I can get a dog; or I'll have made enough money I can do something else.

I suppose I should learn to be content with my disposable income and enormous amount of free time, but, we always want what we don't have.

Just get hookers

6mm max

There's people on Reddit saying they're going to be another T-Rex Arms. Whatever that means, because I couldn't get anybody to give me an explanation.

The guy that turned STI to Staccato is at SOLGW now calling shots. They’ve grow substantially.

I know some aren’t happy about how they went from a “good but affordable work gun” to offerings that rival KAC, Hodge, HK.

They have some cool parts. But they aren’t the only game in town. No need To be emotionally invested if (and that’s a big, dubious “IF”) they took a downward turn.

Not sure what the TRex arms parallel is. I guess 1.5x skinny jeans wasn’t happy and walked. Don’t give enough of a fuck to care.

Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

I would go 18-20” 6.5 with a 120-130 grain bullet; hard to beat on those animals you listed. I have two 20” 6.5’s, one on a Solus action and the other a AR10. Both perform very well. I run Barnes 127 LRX’s and 129 ABLR’s through them.

This is the trick with shorter barrels.

I have an 18" 6.5 CM barrel, and 123 Scenars go ~2850 fps (reloaded). Factory Hornady 140's are about 2500 fps.

Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

I havent bought factory ammo in atleast 15 years, so i have no idea what manufactures offer in each, but my 16" 6CM and 14.5 308 with pinned keymo brake are great from the truck and box blinds.

130gr TTSX are solid options if you go the 308 route.

Quickload shows that 12-14 of the powders i have on hand are burning 98% on average in the 16 inch barrel. No, its not perfect, but its good enough.

As you mentioned, you understand the lack of efficiency and are willing to accept the tradeoffs.

(Coming from a guy that also runs a 16" 300 SAUM)
