OH NO!!!!

Gotta get started on the new Louisiana ski resort. Ski Cajun I’ll call it. Also gotta stock up on all those down stuffed parkas and insulated underwear. Powder gots to be optimized for sub freezing temperatures. Targets gotta start being painted Black

Cause, forget all this shit about climate change and the poles melting and the lefties lattes getting heated naturally by the planet heating up cause we’re HEADING INTO A NEW ICE AGE. :(.


Scientists just confirmed that Earth is slowly tilting toward its next ice age.

Experts have long suspected that changes in Earth's orbit play a key role in triggering ice ages, and now a new study has confirmed it.

Researchers from Cardiff University have uncovered a precise link between Earth's orbital cycles and past glaciation periods, providing a powerful tool for predicting future climate fluctuations. By analyzing deep-sea fossil records, they discovered that deglaciation—the end of an ice age—is triggered by a specific relationship between Earth's axial tilt (obliquity) and its wobble around the Sun (precession).

Meanwhile, the onset of an ice age appears to be driven solely by obliquity. This breakthrough explains why ice ages have occurred in predictable 100,000-year cycles and suggests that another one is due within the next 11,000 years.

While this discovery offers valuable insight into natural climate patterns, researchers warn that human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, are already altering Earth's climate beyond its natural trajectory. Understanding how ice ages naturally occur is crucial for accurately assessing the long-term impact of human-induced climate change. As Earth's tilt continues to decline, signaling the start of the next glaciation, scientists emphasize the importance of factoring natural climate cycles into future climate predictions. The study underscores the need for sustainable action today, as decisions made now could shape Earth’s climate for millennia to come.

Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

Is a bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

I know that my precision AR is a tack driver out to 800 yards, but falls off the face of a cliff at 900. Thinking that is because at 800 yards bullet is going transonic. So thinking about various cartridges, what is the max range? I ran through the following calcs:
CartridgeMVBulletYardsFPSmach
5.56285075 BTHP80011731.07
6.5CM2789147 ELD-m150012311.10
30882550178 ELD-M100012271.12
300WM2850225 ELD-M170012031.10
338 Lapua2900285 ELD-M190011731.07
Seems like many are shooting those cartridges past the above distances I have. Also, what would the advantage (other than energy) be for a 338 over a 300WM at a mile and wouldn't you be able to take a 300WM as far as a 338 accurately?

I want to take my 6.5 CM and try shooting at a mile (the bullet will be at 1050 fps or m=.94) - will this be possible? My 300WM is only a 2 minute rifle so no point in trying to take it that far & I do not have a 338.

Night Vision Guide Thermal clip-ons, experience?

Anyone here that have experience with Guide’s thermal clip-ons?

More specifically their TB Pro series:


These are starting to trickle into the European market, at a price that is reasonable.

I know it’s not Oasys units, but I wondering how these would stack up against Pulsar units.

Barnard S heavy (ier) bolt lift

Hi
I got a used Barnard S rifle. Tested it out and seemed fine.
Now, if I close the bolt and lift it, there's just a tiny lift pressure. More or less the same as my other Zermatt rifle. If I close the bolt, pull the trigger, with no round in the chamber of course, the lift is considerably heavy than without pulling the trigger. Is this normal? What causes this?


Thank you

Val Kilmer - The mag reload scene -RIP

Don’t know much about the guy personally but he was one of the best actors of his era and passed away today. Was on his game in the movie Heat.

I remember the first time I saw Heat during the shootout scene that mag reload felt authentic and very real like he was fighting for his life.

The infamous mag reload scene.
