Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"
- By Topstrap

In between lulls in the shooters waiting to shoot I dug an old project out I'd experimented with a few years ago. After hearing a buddy telling a couple of other competitors about it I dug deep into the vault and retrieved it. I had only shot the old Wolf Target in it but it shot amazing well. I kept adding to it as I kept wanting to see how far I could get it to shoot and how accurately way out there. I can't remember now but I do think I was able to get hits at 500 yards but 400 was much more predictible and 350 being really easy.
I had never tried any high end ammo in it but had some Lapua SLR range and tweaked it a bit to get a good 50 yard zero. A buddy that had never seen it before but is a very good shooter was offered the chance to try it out. His first shot was barely off center of the .200 hole in the sighter plate at 50 yard, his next shot perfectly centered it and squeezed part thru. He moved over and shot the last 3 little targets on the humbler rack at 50 yards. They were 3/8", 5/16" and 1/4". Good hits and not barely nicking them. It only holds 5 shots so he reloaded and I had him swing over to the "split the bullet" rack at 50 yards. His first shot went just barely left of the edge, next shot barely right and the 3rd shot split it cleanly. Picture below on that one.
Later on Sunday after most shooters left I loaded 5 in the chamber and dialed 23 minutes and asked Chris to spot the 10" plate at 197 yards. Figured I'd be on the plate but not sure where. Still a little bit of breeze but barely moving the flag tape. Pretty good hit, second shot a tiny bit right of that one but still perfect elevation. The next 3 piled into the group on the right but still nearly perfect elevation. I doubt the total verticle spread is 1 1/2" but closer to probably 1". Could not believe it but it really likes the Lapua SLR.
It has the match chamber and has to have each round seated with a rod, you just can't push hard enough to get them seated to turn the cylinder using your fingers. OH, guess I didn't mention this was a 10" Freedom Arms model 83 silhouette 22lr revolver in a cobbed together contraption that lets me use a bipod on the front and a monopod on the rear. I know, stand on your hind legs and shoot it like a man,this was built for seeing what its capabilities are.
I'm going to check zero one more time but am planning on shooting it at the next longrange match which ends at 250 yards. No idea how it'll do but I'm guessing it won't be in last place. I've spotted nearly 5000 rounds go downrange each month at my matches for many years now and also at the other longrange matches and I'm still firmly convinced a decent gun using high end ammo it likes can be as competitive for these longrange matches as Vudoos, RIm-Xs and the countless customs and better target guns out there. My Son occasionally uses a Savage MK II with Lapua SLR or RWS R-50 and it'll compete with any of the guns at any of the matches. Just sharing this to show you don't have to spend top dollar to go enjoy matches and be competitive.
You can believe what I've said or not, I didn't post this for bragging since we're no better than any of the other shooters in our area but to share some findings. I have no reason to stretch the truth or lie, been plenty of witnesses to verify the results. I held off for years shooting midrange ammo and still do but there is without a doubt a major difference stepping up to the top shelf stuff. I had one competitor this weekend shooting Tac-22 saying it did OK but all he could find quickly for my match. I set the Garmin Chrono up so he could see what his ammo was doing, he was amazed the variation and at each shot he could glance over and see if it was low, high or on the target and see the velocity. Nearly 80fps variation compared to maybe 10 to 12 with the Lapua SLR. It's not as noticible close up but stretching it out on smaller targets and seeing the results will make you a believer.
OK, some pictures of my contraption, first 3 are Bill Moran shooting the little humbler and splitting the bullet on the axe than my 5 shots at 197 yards.

Okay, so while I was at work yesterday, this chopper was circling my property and flying extremely low, also at times hovering and my wife was looking right at the pilot, could see right into the cockpit. Freaked my family out entirely. Anybody got any guesses what this could have been?

(Soon to be ex Senator!) Bob Menendez Found Guilty on All Counts in Federal Corruption Trial
- By PatMiles

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was found guilty on all counts on Tuesday in his federal corruption trial.
ABC News reported:
Menendez pleaded not guilty to the 16 federal charges, which included bribery, fraud, obstruction, and acting as a foreign agent.
Until his federal indictment, he was chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The New Jersey Democrat “is the first sitting member of Congress to be charged with conspiracy by a public official to act as a foreign agent.”
Federal prosecutors claimed that Menendez had “put up his power for sale” in exchange for gold, envelopes full of cash, checks to his wife for a no-show job, and a luxury automobile. The FBI had found more than $400,000 in cash stashed in various places throughout his house.
“It wasn’t enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington. Robert Menendez wanted all that power and he also wanted to use it to pile up riches for himself and his wife,” federal prosecutor Paul Monteleoni said on July 8.
Defense attorney Adam Fee claimed that the prosecutor’s case against the New Jersey Democrat was “cherry-picked nonsense” and accused prosecutors of “fudging” the facts.
“His actions were lawful, normal and good for the country,” Fee remarked.
ABC News continued:
During the trial, Menendez’s sister was asked why the senator had so much cash stuffed into his congressional jacket.
“It’s a Cuban thing,” Caridad Gonzalez said.

Jill Biden and Her Top Advisor Orchestrated the Hiring of DEI-Loving Secret Service Director, Who Refuses to Resign After Failing to Protect Trump

REPORT: Jill Biden and Her Top Advisor Orchestrated the Hiring of DEI-Loving Secret Service Director, Who Refuses to Resign After Failing to Protect Trump | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.
www.thegatewaypundit.com
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Subsequent reports have revealed the numerous avoidable failures by the Secret Service to protect Trump and take out the gunman. Humiliating footage of petite females struggling to cover the 45th president and escort him out of harm’s way has also emerged.
Blame for this horrifying moment in American history has rightfully focused on DEI-loving Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who has refused to resign. Reports have revealed that instead of hiring the best possible agents, Cheatle has focused on ensuring more non-white and female agents regardless of qualifications.
In fact, her agency has set a goal of ensuring the Secret Service is 30% female by 2030, despite the fact women biologically are generally smaller and weaker than males.
This begs the question of why such a politically correct person was heading the Secret Service. According to the New York Post, all fingers point to Joe Biden’s wife Jill. It turns out she had a close relationship with Cheatle, which helped her land the job.
The Post notes that Cheatle, who served on Jill’s security detail, was well-liked by the “First Lady” and her staff, including top advisor Anthony Bernal.
The outlet further reveals Berna lobbied extensively for Cheatle to become Secret Service Director presumably at his boss’s behest. More infuriatingly, Anthony had no experience in law enforcement or experience so he should have been ignored.
Yet he and Jill got their way to the detriment of Trump.
From the New York Post:
This report also provides a plausible explanation for why resources were reportedly diverted from Trump’s rally to Dr. Jill’s poorly attended campaign event in Pittsburgh. When someone owes their job to another, favors are sometimes sought in return.
