Found this in the FCOM from Boeing on 787

A bit different than my plane. But the 787 is much newer tech so that checks.

The last condition is interesting.

The likelihood of all four EMPs (without full AC power loss) is damn near impossible.
The loss of all hydraulic systems in general is extremely unlikely.

If the RAT did auto dual engine failure is the most likely cause.
Air India reportedly use GE engines, so extremely bad luck with Trent 1000s isn’t the cause.

I’m planning to seat the bullets as short as I can while keeping the bullet’s bearing surface above the neck/shoulder junction (even though I’m not convinced that matters),

Pretty much what I do. On a new barrel I’ll load up a generic charge with start of the bearing surface just slightly above the neck/shoulder junction and shoot a couple one day matches. Then I’ll stuff enough powder in it to get the velocity I desire. For me and shooting DTACS I like 2800-2810 range. Then I’ll load 5 rounds of three different seating depth(.040,.050 and .060) test at 500yds and go with the one that looks best. Very minimal load development.

And in other world news the “death to America” Iranians Mullah government and their nuclear program… who have been fomenting terror since 1979… are a smoking ruin.

While we have clearly said “don’t do it… talks are proceeding… we are not going to attack while talks are proceeding…”. We pursued talks and said “don’t do it.”

Well, as America took the high road, another state actor who has suffered far more and would be the initial target of Iranian nuclear strikes (BTW they were on the cusp of exploding a nuke and becoming more dangerous than the NK’s) *did* act. As is their prerogative… they took care of business in their region against their existential threat.

But I guess that if Poland has taken out the entire Nazi political and military in a single big beautiful kinetic operation in August 1939, the Poles would have been the bag guys…

Well may be. But think of the shit that would have been avoided.

To quote Reagan: “Boys will be boys!”

Note to the Iranian people… get your shit together and free yourselves from the curse of Islamofascism…. The real enemy.

And our real enemy.

The big question is what do the “rest” Of the Arab nations do. My guess is complain loudly and publically rattle their funny curvey dagger things. While in private, they are have a massive party to celebrate the elimination of the most destabilizing bunch of whack-job Mullahs in the region.

PS… we are not occupied by the Heebies…. They were on just about every ship since the mayflower and were right next door to the puritans, the anglicans, the Catholics and everyone else who came here to do their thing away from persecution by the Euro-monarchy-trash. They built this country as much as anyone. And no more report to Israel than the Kennedys reported to Rome. They may be a largely a bunch of liberal idiots when it comes to voting… but are not occupiers any more than the Mormons or the folks in orange robes handing out flowers at airports (what ever happened to those guys, anyway?).

Well, contrary to the State Dept.’s position, Lurch seems to be indicating that the Democrats are happy with Israel!


So hopefully the protesters will focus on the actual warmongers…

ICE needs to clean up DC first , and don't just send them to Israel first deport them to Libya, Sudan or wherever Donie is now contracting deportations.

Nope...should be able to clamp without problem.

Shit seems to be accelerating fast. Israel taking out Iran's nukes, Alberta secession referendum and this weekend is supposed to be a huge and nasty ANTIFA public disturbance all over the country called the "No Kings Day" protests, with Iranian affiliated terrorist groups very likely seeking to use the already latent chaos to plan whatever they got planned.

Stay ON GUARD. Stay IN COMMUNICATION with your families and all likeminded, and armed observers in your AO's.

It was the Unholly Alliance match at black bear in 2024. I was waiting for 338 barrel blanks so I decided to take my 308 to an ELR match. The final two plate were 1865 and 1906 yards. Shooting a 208 Berger over a stiff load of Varget I managed 2 impacts at 1865 video and a first round impact at 1906 2nd video with the remaining 4 shots all around the plate. I only finished 23rd but taking a 308 against all those 338’s I beat my fair share of them. The first video is of the two impacts and the second shows the first round. The folks chatting in the background about my 308 was comical.
