What temp-stable powder are you guys using for 6.5 PRC with 140 ELD-M in a 22" barrel? And what velocities should I expect?

I am working up a ballistics table for my brother in laws deer gun and have two seperate results. One from my Kestrel (which matches AB Mobile) and another from the Hornady 4DOF calculator. I suspected less drop with the 6.5cm but cannot figure out where the isue is. Being a deer gun and his location it is likely never going to be shot over 500yds, but I built the table out to a 1000 in case he gets the chance to try it at longer ranges. I know this all needs to be trued as well but the drop data is throwing me off.

Site height: 1.75
Ammo: Winchester Ballistic Silvertip

Bullet (dodged) as police arrest this piece of shit who was prepping her 13 year old school-shooter-worshipping retard to take out a middle school.

When do we start re opening the asylums.

Let’s see… the kid probably gets counseling and his record expunged in less than 5 years.

Wanna bet he is in jail or dead before he is 25? How many does he kill before then?

Bet “mom” gets off as well. “It was all just fantasy and designed to help him deal with his urges. I never would have let him do it.”

Just watch the lawyers go all bleeding heart on how she is just a challenged single mom…. We have to let her off.

Wonder what the parents of the other kids in the Texas middle school think? The peers who “should” make up 100 percent of her jury. But won’t, because jury will be transgender furry Marxists who identify as social workers.

This shit just had to stop.

Any Concerns here? I have at least two Anderson lowers and my currently built AR-15 has an Anderson Lower. Works great. I think I also have an Upper or two as well.

So ran some errands after dinner last night. Blue button down for Graduation Party, 511 and check . Top off gas in truck. Check . Stop for a 12 pack . Holy Mother a Homeless Crackhead ax juggling wackadoo .
I pull into the parking lot and Slotard the bicycle ridin clown is weaving in and out of lot traffic whilst flipping a hatchet in the air . K . I enjoy the show , find a parking spot and get out . Well our fine Crystal Methodist pulls up at Beer Distributor and dismounts hatchet in hand a fallipin . Guy is just hangin, effin with the ax and his bike next to the entrance. If I haven't clearly painted the Bob Ross masterpiece by know leh me
splain it. Mofugga looks not shelf stable , 5'10" and a buck fitty of unwashed Cray Cray .
So keeping Tueller in mind . For y'all non LEO that's , Stupid with a weapon can traverse 21ft and give you a makeover before you can draw . So I digress. I walk past keeping an eye etc . Low and behold Dumbass walks in behind me . In summation. Henry Longfellow Eisten buys a tallboy , goes out , cracks it open and proceeds with the ax show whilst owning the area . No one at this point goes anywhere near . After all the inexplicable evil and violence lately I decided to call 911 .
So I call and get the Queen of the ghetto. She doesn't have any idea of the location , street , cross street or businesses being described . She asked " is he bothering anybody "? Pretty sure I just explained it . So I just said hey , with all the crazy violence going on I figured I should call . Her response was a resounding " ahh muh gahd ", as if I was here toddler waking her up at 2am . How bout save your editorial and send a cop . You know the thing . You get paid for it . Ya know in between surfing your phone and tryna remember to breathe .
Funny if Skippy did go all Paul Bunyon on some suburban housewife local authorities would be bitchin that " no one called about an ax wielding lunatic" .

I WILL NOT PART THIS OUT. IF YOU WANT THE RAIL, BUY THE RIFLE.

Doubling down on my previous post tonight about "manly" things-

I'm finishing up on applying leather conditioner to my "fine leather goods" & one of which is my wallet in which I took everything out off prior to applying the leather conditioner... A handful of credit cards, insurance cards, and membership cards to places like the AL & VFW, my total amount of actual cash was a whopping $6. That's one $5 & $1 bill & that's all I had.

This is a bit "wild" to me because 20 years ago I would have felt absolutely naked if I had anything less than $200 cash in my wallet. $200 now is worth significantly less than it was 20 years ago and $6 wasn't much money even then either. But I really don't use cash these days...

Anywho- I'll have to hit the ATM or bank and replenish my cash reserves but the question posed is whether anyone else is surprised with how little cash they carry/use regularly as compared to what they used to.

In the wake of the SIG P320 drama, there's been a whole bunch of these types of videos online.

Way too many.

Looking at what he's doing...



...loading the trigger on this particular Glock with a fastener does the following:



1. Negates the Trigger Safety (dingus)
2. Negates the Firing Pin Block
3. Negates the Drop Safety

What is the point of this maneuver, though?

In a loaded / cocked Glock with the finger off the trigger, safeties 1. through 3b. are doing their thing.

When "riding the reset," you negate 1. and 2., but safeties 3a. and 3b. perform their functions (well, if you’re really good at “riding the reset,” maybe only 3b.).

When tensing the trigger with that fastener, you're leaving the sear 3b. hanging by the skin of its teeth, something hard to do with your finger in practice because of that final “10% hump” (see subsequent posts below).

What exactly are these Glock videos trying to prove?

Hey all,

This is a first for me. Anyone have any clue how these marks got here? The marks are on the cases after having spent an afternoon dry tumbling in rice. I suppose it's possible they were there prior to going into the tumbler. However, I cannot recall me making that observation before. This is on factory ammo 6.5 grendel.

I also have other cases there from reloads that are tumbling in the same rice simultaneously. These other cases are 6.5 creedmoor and do not show any signs like that.

Any clues?

To start this thread off, I'd like to begin this discussion with the topic of watches since that's what's on my mind.

Watches seem to be a "manly" thing and for reasons I'm not sure why. I've been digging into/researching this topic and the best explanation I'm finding is that men use watches as one of the few "approved" jewelry accessories that they can wear. Perhaps there's some merit to this but I'm not sure if this summation conveys why I'm personally interested in watches.


Just speaking for myself- I personally find it absolutely fascinating that we can wear such a complicated machine on our wrist which requires literally hundreds of small parts to work in unison to perform a function requiring absolve precision & accuracy. Precision & accuracy.. if there ever was a unifying concept to state with the participants here...

Personally- I've always held a fascination with watches. Not so much from a status symbol perspective but more so from a perspective that appreciates the precision of such a small device.

A few decades ago my first "real" watch was a Luminox Navy Seal model that looked something like this...



Good lord did I love this watch. It was my first "expensive" watch which took me months to save up for while working retail jobs (yes plural) and when my finances aligned I thought this was amongst the most amazing purchases I had made at that point in my young life. It was far from a luxury watch by other standards but it was amazing to me & what it represented for my income at that stage of my life.

It was an amazing watch too- quartz movement of course but tritium dials on the hands and that made it "special" to me then. I forget how many times I had to replace the batteries & straps because each part just wore out (I lived in that watch for years) but remember when it finally "died" on me and a part of me died with it. I got well over a decade with that watch, it spanned my entire military "career" but I rode it hard and ran it into the ground and it finally had enough. Certainly a sad day for me.

I limped through college with cheap (think Kmart Timex type of watches) but always missed having a "good" watch. Of all people, my little brother gave me one of the best Christmas gifts I'd ever received in my adult life... A Citizen promaster with eco drive aka- solar powered and I was once again smitten with a watch (not even that terribly expensive either). That looked/(s) like this...



Talk about a cool watch- the luminosity wasn't tritium but rather a high quality luminescent painting that doesn't have a "half-life". The watch was built "tough" and the strap contained kevlar if I remember right... I still have & love that watch. I'm still bitter that I don't have the exact same watch in the Black configuration.


Moving on- my tastes & budgets for watches has expanded & grown but nothing too extravagant either.



I picked up the above Timex for something like $30 6 years ago. I bought it as a "beater"/"throwaway" but god damn- that watch rocks and I'm still trying to keep life into it. The battery is presently dead as a doornail but I've got a pack of 'em coming to see if we can't breath some life into this "old" girl.

I'm getting long winded so to wrap things up... my latest acquisition is a relatively inexpensive but classic watch.. the Seiko "turtle" which is looks like the below & is an otherwise inexpensive option for an automatic movement driven watch.



I'm rambling now but to sum things up- there are some things "we" all like that are just inherently "manly". Watches have to be amongst that category. Not even as a flex/opportunity to drop 1,000's of $ on either.

Just on the discussion of "man things" there's certain products that just seem to 'strike that masculine chord' & amplifies one's testosterone while similetanously receiving olympic eye rolls from spouses and lesser lady friends.
