Right on Schedule... woke Pope BS

Many terrible things have been done in the name of religion. However, it is inaccurate to say that religion has caused more death than any other cause in history. In fact, the opposite is likely true. Totalitarian regimes who were avowedly and militaristically atheist are responsible for the single deadliest century in human history. Depending on which methodology you adhere to, Stalin was responsible for 20 million - 60 million deaths, Mao was responsible for over 70 million deaths, Pol Pot was a mere piker with only 3 million deaths. I could continue the tabulation of the seemingly endless mass killing propagated by atheistic/secular regimes. It totals bout 250,000,000 in the 20th century alone. This total is a huge multiple of the total of "religiously" motivated killings for the previous 2,000 years.

Proof Research 22ARC barrel issues

Yep. I had a 22ARC barrel on order with Proof and emailed them after seeing that same screenshot elsewhere. They confirmed that 22ARC is shelved indefinitely, and offered to switch my order to something else.

I'll take a peep at my Craddock Precision RTR 22 ARC Barrel, I've got 60 down it now.


Those Hornady 62gr ELD-VT cook! Im getting close to 3,200fps with a 20" barrel and a Lazarus 6 CAN.

Religion has caused more death and misery than any other cause in history. My God is the best God so you need to worship my God. So many wars and subsequent death and suffering could have been avoided by folks just minding their own mother f"ing business. Unfortunately, we're just not wired that way.

So Cal Ice protest.

So far the protesting appears to be confined to a few areas in downtown. Locals won't even know anything is happening unless they are traveling though the wrong part of downtown or turn on the news. The areas that are being impacted aren't residential so things won't likely get too out of control; if the protesters decided to start burning homes this would go to 11 real fast.

Local activists are trying to stop ICE raids and and the LAPD/Sheriffs are doing their best to not be involved as immigrants are politically untouchable due to LA being a sanctuary city. My local Home Depot and Lowe's usually have tons of day labor hanging outside looking for work. The minute the raids started there were no longer any day laborers anywhere.

New Build #4 Ridgeline RD15 / Geissele 18" SPR Cut Rifled Barrel. (03JUN25) First Range Session up.

Got out today to pull velocities for some AAC ammo and see how it did, combined with finally testing the trigger out in live fire.

Trigger is exactly as advertised by @bigjake83. First stage was extremely smooth with a well defined wall. Break was very crisp. I REALLY like this trigger. I’ll be grabbing another one in future for my SPR setup.

I don’t have any tool to measure actual trigger weight unfortunately so I can’t give much exacting info on that front, but it was light and felt great for my purpose on a “precision” gas gun.

I tuned your like mine, 2.5lbs

Some of the illegals are so brazen that they are on social media threatening that they have guns and aren’t afraid to use then on ICE. I’m not really a fan of calling in the NG but this stuff needs to stop.

25x47 Lapua load data

Seems like a lot of these loads folks aren’t pushing things too hard? I’m over shooting with brakes and have always been a big fan of the 6.5x47 but would like a hair less recoil if similar ballistics are achievable. Fair to think a guy could still be around 2700 fps with a 131-135 in a 24” tube to keep things manageable suppressed without pushing on it? I tend to load pretty conservatively.

The data that Blackjack published a long while back for 25x47 with the 131, Lapua brass, and Varget started at 2825fps, and went up to 2961 in a 26” tube. 36.4 to 38.8gr. Just for what it’s worth.

The attractiveness of 25x47 at lower velocities for PRS is more about recoil balanced with better ballistics, and the inherent accuracy of the case, not about standing on it as hard as possible. You can push it a lot harder than most folks choose to do…
