Why is Bondi’s DOJ still prosecuting a pistol brace owner?

Trial is coming up in a month.

Remember the emails of Marxist bureaucrats woven throughout the institutions, where they said to use every bureaucratic technique possible to undermine and prevent Trump’s policies from being implemented?

Muzzle rise, cannot spot impacts. Tikka T3 Stainless Superlite, I went with the smallest diameter to stay close to barrel diameter and I suspect that was the wrong choice.

Were you made aware of this damage prior to the trade?

I will take these, PM sent

I have all the cats chipped, even though they are indoors. We had a Savannah escape a bunch of years ago and I was sick about it. May have died... may have found a new home. But a Chip would have at least given us a chance of finding him if he was picked up by someone.

Cheap insurance...

Never had an adverse reaction! But I certainly can see it happening on occasion. Either procedure or a contaminated chip or a reaction.

Sorry about your dog! Hopefully all is well in the end. But it's a rare thing!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Just to satisfy my curiosity if you don’t mind. How big is that target? Very cool indeed though

It’s 4’x8’ if I remember right. There are some big ones out on the long range for testing and development.

The shape doesn't change, but drag is dependent on the orientation of the object to the oncoming airflow. If the bullet is pointed perfectly straight forward to the oncoming airflow it will have certain Cd. If the bullet has .01 degrees AoA (angle of attack) to the oncoming airflow it will have some small percentage higher Cd. If the bullet has 0.10 degrees AoA it will have some considerably higher Cd.

When the bullet exits the muzzle it always has some level of yaw and yaw rate. The conditions of the muzzle exit gas flow (brake, suppressor, etc.) can affect that yaw and yaw rate, causing higher AoA, causing higher (typically) drag throughout the trajectory.

Annnd you beat me to the punch. @Ledzep thank you for the information!

Athlon Cronos BTR GEN2 UHD 4.5-29×56 APRS6 FFP IR MIL (or MOA if your so inclined).

Under $1500. In fact @gr8fuldoug Camera Land has one for $1299.99. Made in Japan, not China, in the same factory as Nightforce.

Athlon OpticsCronus BTR GEN2 4.5-29x56 APRS6 FFP IR MIL UHD #210115

There are also other good options as noted above.

Losers imo

Very expensive "losers".

Purely anecdotal but it has not been my experience that the BC is changed by adding a suppressor. Typically velocities will change a few fps but we’re talking 15-20 fps. It makes sense that as you are capturing the gasses you would see a slight boost…. Seeing that velocity is one factor in time of flight, it could affect the BC in a very minuscule amount. I would not anticipate it to be in the realm of 3-5% however.

Perhaps @Ledzep will expound a bit with real empirical evidence vs my simple anecdotal experience. I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I am being sincere in the request in case this sounds like sarcasm.

It's stupid shit like this headline on why no one takes the media seriously anymore. Whoever did this article has no clue about spaceflight or is pure clickbait.

^^^ This is why they did it. To try and make SpaceX look like a second-rate player. Or to take off some of the limelight.

The press almost totally ignored the rescue of astronauts last month. And when they did cover it, they didn't use Musk or SpaceX. Or they said that it was a "Conspiracy" and that Boeing could have rescued them any time. With their failure-prone equipment.

This was 100 percent to try and undercut the value of SpaceX which may well IPO this year. And has a Patent Portfolio worth more than some countries (that said, Musk tends to public domain his patents...). That said, this is a stupid publicity stunt designed to elevate Blue Origin, trash Musk and get the nattering lefties talking about how Dreamy Bezos and his "Josie and the Pussycats" bullshit was.

It was a shame that they didn't scatter them all over Texas. But there ya go. And I shouldn't have been hoping for that. Debris might have fallen on some real American rancher and injured or killed them. So should not wish ill on missions. My bad.

A few more pics from the firing line on the upper range. Thanks for the kind words, my dad turns 70 this year and I can’t believe how the time is flying by.

This stuff is worth driving three hours one way:

What is our tarrif on OPEC's oil?

Maybe we could subsidise domestic production, our guys could use the work.

It is all a cesspool of smoke, mirrors and lies.

The US has the largest refining capacity of any nation, so millions of barrels are shipped to the US, refined, then exported to their actual destinations. The US is also the only Nation who has safe ports in a region without any military conflict or naval rivalry anywhere near our huge coastlines. We also have a plethora of deep sea ports, that sit on or near major river mouths, bays, sounds, and the inter-coastal waterway (only one in the world).

I have met very few people that understand the framework of the global energy industry. The US is the top dog in that game as well.

These are things that retarded Ivy League economics professors seem hellbent on remaining ignorant of all my life, for some reason.

If some OPEC nation wanted to mess around with the US in this space, all we have to do is shift priority in refining to their competitors, and they’re truly up a creek without a paddle.

You never stare down the gorilla. We are the gorilla, like the world has never seen before in its history.

why is this sooo easy to believe? because we have known it to be true for 3+ years? the question of why any Ukraine funding continues really demands an answer. also,demands some very harsh remedial action.

Good idea

i would assume that Austin's parents have other children that they can't desert in a trip to prison because of a revenge killing. one advantage of being real old and having nothing to lose in such a case.

Remember, that it was not a 'thing' in the media until THE VERY DAY that Bernie and Bloomberg bowed out of the Democrat Primary and left the dementia-ridden Potato to be placed into office by mail-in voting.

It was know. It was circulating. It was being talked about. Buddy and I both got it in Jan 2020. And we knew the name. It was not until March that the press went "Full Pandemic" and the schools were shut and the grannies killed. THAT begin on the very day that the DNC nominee began his campaign locked in his basement. And got a record number of votes.

It was also ALL discussed here on SH pretty much from the beginning. Long before this thread started. It's all here, somewhere. Discussed, dissected. Including skepticism (in particular) about Fox and other news outlets. This place was 2 years ahead of the curve...

But there ya go.

yea,weird that a long range shooting site with a very mixed political/news forum is such a good place to get referred to many varied info sources about so many important issues. this despite the presence of constant ATF/FBI monitoring,recording and storing. and there are the usual amount of malignant trolls pushing their perverse agendas. for myself,don't do much elsewhere on here any more. an occasional shooting question. i got
nothing to add for people that shoot AIs,voodoos,NF,ZCOs.
but there ya go
