Dismissing real data and real world facts in order to avoid reassessing your worldview?

Yea that sounds about boomer.
Nothing I have accomplished or have earned was at your expense. If it makes you feel better to blame someone for your shortcomings, then go ahead. My background is taking responsibility for myself and making the choices that get me where I want to be. I don’t blame anyone for my not having more.

Releasing the Epstein files will not, and has no power to, convict any of the people mentioned.

Only a court can convict.

Under our system someone is innocent until proven guilty.

Therefore the release of documents has no legal impact on those mentioned therein, and the excuse being used is spurious.

Release them all and stop lying.
We agree on that.;)

Because a federal judge ruled they can’t release the files as it would impugn a bunch of people who haven’t been proven guilty of any crimes thus far.

I know that innocent until proven guilty is a tough concept for some of the retards on here but they is the reason the Epstein files have not, and probably never will be released.
They 'are' the reason, not a tough concept. ;)

Federal law suits against the city state and individual officers in DUI for profit

And I’m sure in your AO there is no serious crime , gangs or outstanding murder warrants or unsolved homicides .

Cause of course there couldn’t be ; it would make them HUGE CUNTS to be doing traffic while crime runs rampant.
I was in Johnson City. They have their fair share of crime for sure.
My wife asked if he caught on to my statement about getting pulled over for a sticker and thanking him for doing a great job? I laughed and said that I doubted it. He was happy to get his crack fix by running my license.

Hunting & Fishing Cayuga" Hunting Bullets

So then I changed to White River Energetics Large Rifle primer, with a COAL of 3.180"
The results:
67gr - 2974 fps
67.5 - 2997
68 - 3049
68.5 - 3087
69 - 3054 (?)
69.5 - 3110 Slight ejector swipe
The target:
151C LR H4831sc.jpg

Since shots 4,5 & 6 were on top of each other, I took the 68.5 grain load and stretched it out to 400 yards with a guesstimated 5 MOA come-up.
Results:
#1 - 3081 fps #2 - 3018 fps #3 - 3045 fps
Shots 1 & 3 were on top of each other, and shot 2 was about 2" low and 1.5" left. The entire group was almost 2MOA high. These all are small sampe sizes, but I'm encouraged to explore the 68.5 to 69 grain area with H4831sc I won't get any more velocity from it, but it will have to do as an accuracy load, as i'm running out of time. I'm gonna need more boolits.

i'm not saying this is the case...but like i always try to do, i am sharing it.
as he tells it, it does seem unlikely. we have folks that can tell us if this is true or not.

well,Savage has always been over the top. not that it matters,by none of the things we are being told about this whole event do not add up and equal the gov story. just a bunch of small things which added together don't seem to fit. at the end of the day,gov account may be true. but,personally,i believed the 9/11 story for years. learned that was not a complete rendering or the truth. there are explanations given for everything i see wrong but added together they don't = the gov story.
gonna leave it there as it is what it is and arguing about it is pointless.

Odd Velocity Variance

I concur with the suggestion to NOT clean after the next trip. And I NEVER use oil in a cleaned bore unless I'm removing the barrel from the action for storage. After cleaning, my rifles usually take 3 rounds to "settle."

I primarily use Bore Tech C4 for cleaning; according to Bore Tech a final wet patch will leave a protective coating that lasts a couple of weeks. Fwiw, I clean my centerfire rifles about every 200 rounds. Any one of them may sit uncleaned in the safe for weeks; I've never had an issue with corrosion on any part of any firearm (the safe is in an air-conditioned part of the house).

Why don’t these younger generations pull themselves up by the boot straps like I did

I bring receipts




I ran the numbers. I used U.S. federal minimum wages (1968 and today) and current spot gold to compute how many troy ounces a full-time minimum-wage worker could buy per week in 1968 vs today, and then calculated the annual income today that would be required to match 1968’s gold-buying power.








Key source numbers I used








  • Federal minimum wage (effective Feb 1, 1968): $1.60 / hr.
  • Federal minimum wage today (federal floor, still in effect in 2025): $7.25 / hr.
  • Spot gold price (used for “today”): $3,648.25 per troy ounce (spot; source sampled Sept 2025).
  • Historical 1968 gold market prices: after the London gold-pool stresses 1968 saw market prices above the $35 official parity; daily fixes cluster around ~$38–$40/oz for much of 1968 (I used $38.50/oz as a representative 1968 market average).
















Calculations (step-by-step)








Assumptions: full-time = 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year. Gold measured in troy ounces.





1968 (using $1.60/hr and $38.50/oz):





  • Weekly earnings = $1.60 × 40 = $64.00.
  • Ounces of gold/week = $64.00 ÷ $38.50 ≈ 1.6623 oz/week.







Today (federal minimum $7.25/hr and spot gold $3,648.25/oz):





  • Weekly earnings = $7.25 × 40 = $290.00.
  • Ounces of gold/week = $290.00 ÷ $3,648.25 ≈ 0.07949 oz/week.







Relative buying power:





  • 1968 oz/week ÷ 2025 oz/week ≈ 1.6623 ÷ 0.07949 ≈ 20.9.
    So a minimum-wage worker in 1968 could buy ~21× more gold per week than a federal minimum-wage worker can buy today (using the numbers above).
















How large would yearly income


today


need to be to match 1968’s gold-buying power?








Take the 1968 annual gold quantity (1.6623 oz/week × 52 weeks = 86.44 oz/year). At today’s spot price:





  • Required annual income today = 86.44 oz × $3,648.25/oz ≈ $315,370 per year.







Equivalently, you’d need about $6,065 per week (which ×52 ≈ $315,370) to buy the same gold annually a 1968 minimum-wage earner could.



And it's not just minimum wages, I ran the same math for average income for each year.

1968 - 124 ounces

2025 - 20 ounces

Therefore the average American is getting paid 620% less in real wages today compared to 1968.

This is what most boomers don't see.

According to the judge that isn’t the case. You can bitch and cry about it all you want, but a judge who has the authority to make that decision has already ruled.

The logic is pretty simple.

Ask yourself if your name and contact information were in Epstein’s contacts list because you were his lawn care service in NY, would you want to have your information released with no context?

Sure you will have committed no crimes, and no charges will be forthcoming much less a conviction. All the same your name and reputation will be unjustifiably covered in shit.


Yes. I would demand all names be released including mine because abuse, rape, and trafficking of children needs to be eliminated no matter the cost.

Hunting & Fishing Cayuga" Hunting Bullets

I ran the Cayuga 151gr today in the 7PRC (22" proof barrel) with H4831sc. I probably have around 600 rounds thru this barrel.
First I did a ladder test with Fed 215 LRM primers, Peterson brass 5x fired and annealed. COAL is 3.160"
Reminder: I'm at 156' elevation, and the temp today was 74F, 66% humidity.
Results:
66 gr- 2961 fps
66.5 - 2986
67 - 3043
67.5 - 3043
68 - 3087
68.5 - 3086
69 - 3095 No obvious pressure signs
Then I threw another 68 and 68.5 gr with a COAL of 3.180" for the heck of it to see jump/velocity sensitivity
68gr - 3059 fps
68.5 - 3065 fps
The target: Shots 8 & 9 landed over shot 6)
