    Plane crash At Reagan National

    "Supposed" to be. She had what, like 450 hrs total time (it was reported)? It definitely looks like a forced-fit (DEI, etc) to me.

    Bad Hornady ammo 300PRC, 1/2 MOA to 6 MOA based on lot number.

    Yep. Reference my post #13 in this thread. "Anything with ES over 40 is out-of-spec". :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I've almost never gotten ES 40 or less out of thousands of rounds of their 6.5 and 300PRC ELD-Match factory ammo. So, it's ALL out-of-spec?

    Bad Hornady ammo 300PRC, 1/2 MOA to 6 MOA based on lot number.

    This is exactly what I was going to say - ES of 23 but no mention of how many rounds (probably 3).

    300 Norma H-1000 max?

    I've run into the same thing with their data for both 230 and 245s using Retumbo. Pressure all the way down to minimum charge, but velocities much higher than published. They show 78.4 to 86.0gr Retumbo for the 245. but velocities of only 2552-2782. I'm down to 79.0 out of a factory AI barrel...

    BC Correction

    Same here (even though my error is small, I still put my 1626 yd target into my Kestrel as “1625” from the Terrapin-X😂). The buddy with the Sig 10K attended one of Todd Hodnett’s courses and they taught that as well.

    BC Correction

    Very true. I have a Terrapin-X, and a buddy got an Sig Kilo 10K. We were ranging the same targets one day with them. At distances around 1000 yds, he was getting consistently about 4-5 yds more than me. At around a mile to 2000 yds it was 9-10 yds more than mine (that's enough to put you way off...

    Quick Load

    He means you have to find your max load on your own because you can't trust published figures to be correct in your rifle. Don't start at any "max" load. Start near the min, and load up about five cartridges in even increments up to the max listed. Shoot them sequentially and carefully observe...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    Quote from a USAF air traffic controller on his tour at Operation Red Flag: "It is MUCH more difficult as a controller to put aircraft together than it is to keep them apart."

    Look for Waltz to be making the rounds on the MSM shows as the latest Trump-hating “Republican”. Deep-stater who was already on his way out when he “accidentally” leaked. Yeah, right…accidentally.

    Where did they sleep on their long trip here (the border crossers, not the ones Biden flew in).

    Aw, MAN! The Super Looper was a hero of mine. He was at the top of his game and already in the Hall Of Fame when my buddies and me all came of age to start competing. He was the best. Prayers for his family - what a tragedy.

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    What does that have to do with anything in this thread? No one has argued that women can't be competent pilots.

    I wouldn't have been surprised if one of those "young people" he asked to come up while he signed it stabbed him in the throat just as he was setting the pen down.

    Stick-shake, "I got it." Shameful feeling ensues...but lesson learned.

    Dog flea/tick control

    I don't know - "maybe" is definitely possible, but I haven't seen anything about it specifically. Simparica Trio is regular Simaparica (sarolaner) with moxidectin (a cousin of ivermectin, both members of the avermectin class), and pyrantel (a super-common dewormer also sold under the names Nemex...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    ^^^ To continue that post, he was asked to make a conclusion before the investigation had even started. He obliged, and they countered with feigned outrage (ie they set him up), "How can you conclude that without an investigation?!" :rolleyes: Then he answered, "Because I have common sense." He...

    Dog flea/tick control

    Grand mal (major) seizures, the most common in dogs, look pretty much the same, if not even more violent. Petit mal (minor) seizures on the other hand, can take on almost any form and are less common, but probably what you observed. The class of drugs which includes Simparica/Simparica Trio...
