    Use of Safeties on bolt guns

    If I’m in the woods, the rifle has a round in the chamber and safety on. It gets unloaded for doing things like climbing into a deer stand, etc, when muzzle discipline is more difficult. Honestly as I think about it, I feel it’s actually safer to hunt that way than with an empty chamber. When...

    What brand BCG is this? Pic of logo attached

    I don't recognize the logo, but odds are its a Toolcraft that they branded for another company. A large portion of AR BCG, especially the ones sold by smaller companies, I've heard are made by Toolcraft.

    Venezuelas Communist Dictator Maduro steals election and protesters take to the streets

    Well, in the media's defense, it might actually feel that way for them coming from Biden :ROFLMAO:

    Venezuelas Communist Dictator Maduro steals election and protesters take to the streets

    @NoDopes You can’t prove that though. That’s the issue. I think it’s more likely 20,000 here to take WI, 30,000 there to take Arizona, etc ( not real numbers, examples). They didn’t need millions to steal it, why would they?

    Where's the node ?

    Yeah but they shoot in the 1s. So their process does work. Hard to ignore that. The facts are: -2 different load recipes can have dramatically different POI, like 3+MOA different. -2 different load recipes can have dramatically different grouping precision -yet we’re now told that varying...

    Venezuelas Communist Dictator Maduro steals election and protesters take to the streets

    I think the primary difference is that here they stole it with 200,000 votes out of 160 million. There they stole it with like 4 million votes out of 9 million. Easier for everyone to look at each other and say WTF? Here , a lot of good people still don’t know what to believe on 2020.

    Where's the node ?

    But how much of that is the “truth” of the matter exposing itself vs being the end result of all the other variables like shooter hold, wind, barrel fouling, recoil management, etc etc adding up to bury real trends with noise? You’d have to be shooting in the Houston Warehouse with a bench...

    Where's the node ?

    Im an idiot who wants to learn. Why did you choose 40.9? Is that based on the location of the center of groups not moving between the charges higher and lower than it? In other words, with OCW tests you look for consistent POI across a range of loads and settle near the middle of the range...

    Realistically Best Option for a 7.62 Gas Gun

    I have an Armalight SuperSASS that uses the M14 style magazines. It reliably shoots around 3/4 moa with 168FGGM and around 1 moa with 175 FGGM. I've been very happy with it for what I paid for it. Trigger is great, and the suppressed-vs-unsuppresed switchable gasblock has worked really well...

    World Hunger Solved

    I’ve been laughing at that clip for two days now. I had seen it before, but had forgotten how funny it was.

    Ron Unz - Everything you know about WW2 is wrong

    I never mentioned slaves. I just said don't underestimate anyone with determination to achieve something and the willingness to work their asses off.

    Ron Unz - Everything you know about WW2 is wrong

    I’ve personally seen a dam holding back 12-14’ of water, using a two-tiered dam structure, made by fucking beavers. It was magnificent, and about 3 miles from the nearest road. I’m an engineer, and I shit you not it would cost humans a million dollars or more to accomplish what those little...

    Maggie’s Anyone have an old bugle they don’t want?

    Yes, or the sound gets messed up from the spit gargling in the pipes. I wonder if that happens on a bugle?

    Maggie’s Anyone have an old bugle they don’t want?

    Only maintenance would basically be valve oil. Its easy, I have had times where I didn't touch mine for 2-4 years, and pulled it out and oiled the valves and slides and it was good to go.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Excellent, that is very helpful. Thank you!

    .224 Valkyrie

    I'm surprised its not faster than that, the 16" barrel must hold it back a bit. I've got a 20", so we'll see where it goes. Factory 60gr loads are moving 3150ish for my in my gun, so thats my target for the ELD-VTs.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Is that data for something like a 60gr Vmax? Wondering about bearing surface differences. If that is for the VMax, I would think it would be good data to use cause those things have very long bearing surfaces. I don't have a Hornady manual.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Is that a starting load or your finished load? What sort of velocity are you getting? I have some StaBall Match Im not using or anything currently so that could be a great option.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Can anybody share a starting point for 62 ELD-VT's in a semi-auto Valkyrie? I'm open to powder suggestions. Varget, CFE 223, etc.
