    Trans families are fleeing

    Isn’t the term “trans families” an oxymoron?

    For those Marines "in the know..."

    We had one issuing grenades to us with 1967 on the box in ‘93 off Somalia. Did whatever he wanted with extreme chill. Only time we every even saw that rank in person.

    Is Russia done pretending?

    In so many minds on SH maybe; but even here, when another Pearl Harbour or 9/11 show plays out, many will say, “We have to put aside our differences and work together for the greater good”, ie killing “those people over there” etc. humans are sadly predictable.

    Well, that's not right

    The Vortex warranty forced many other manufacturers to do the same. Previously those “other guys” would more often than not just run out the clock on unhappy customers. The non Vortex stuff was/is not any more reliable than all the other brands at similar price points.

    I use high mounts and chin weld on all my “precision” stuff now, CF and RF.

    Actual dope data not lining up with ballistic calculator?

    I believe you, but using some calculator specific created “axial form factor” that needs to be “ trued”along with the use of altitude as a nod to shooters that are not willing to understand the basics of DA doesn’t bring me into the 4 DOF fold. I have no particular allegiance to a solver, but...

    Yup, I’m in the same boat. Land auctions are real big around here now. Prices have doubled in the last 12 months. Short term gain, long term pain. Selling one’s birthright is still a thing.

    Locally in NE BC and NW AB, most are selling off herds for lack of cost effective feed options. 3 yrs of drought means the town water supply is at 0% flow and the reservoir is running down. 150 days until none left. (How much control of precipitation does the government have?) Our family ranch...

    Is Russia done pretending?

    A coordinated cy A coordinated cyber attack on the NA grid and various transformers that are ordered years in advance would cripple vast areas of the US and Canada. The public will beg for “a king to rule over them”. Government will stand up a bogeyman to go to war with in order to vent the...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    This. Wi This. COAL controls only make the round fit in the mag. That is the least important factor in keeping reloading results safe and predictable.

    For those Marines "in the know..."

    When, now? Or 35 years ago when many of us were the subjects of these DIs? My senior was staff sgt. DIs were sgts.

    And almost every child of ranchers that wants to continue in the life is forced by mom and dad to buy the place for the full market value that a stranger would pay, so that the parents and siblings that left the farm/ranch can Scrooge Mcduck in their pile of $$$$. Greed means the family...

    Load development help?

    You are on the right track, but that particular rifle is probably not capable of much better. Your reloading process could become very precise and by the results that rifle would give you, you would never know it. The cost might seem unsound, but you would better off with a know proven 1/2 MOA...

    Load development help?

    You know what I’m getting at. In a BR shooting situation the OP is working hard but basically polishing a turd. One that would be perfect tool fit for another task.

    Best Compact Bolt Action 22 LR Starter Gun For Kids/Hunting

    CZs are the Tikka of the Rimfire world. The Tikka Rimfire is not bad, but I give the nod to CZ. I competed with a Tikka Rimfire for several years. CZ is better.

    Best Compact Bolt Action 22 LR Starter Gun For Kids/Hunting

    Buy a CZ. Tigers and Savages will disappoint you with their build quality pretty quickly. Semis are not great for teaching kids much but fun conspicuous consumption. Tiny and expensive single shots are useful for a very short time. Have all of the above and several kids.

    Shutdown Impasse - What can/should the Executive Branch do?

    Yup, weak stupid people, left and right alike, love government overreach. Especially over educated ones.

    Load development help?

    Which means expecting statistically significant repeatable group data under 1 MOA for that rifle is a fools errand. The load is fine. Get up off the bench and practice shooting.

    Is Russia done pretending?

    It hasn’t happened in Ukraine because that whole situation is bullshit playing for $$$ on many levels. Its a fake war killing lots of people for $$$ and power and no one else cares about the dead enough to change anything. You are thinking like a child. One solar or generator powered house...
