They deported my grandparents to Siberia in 1939, and others on my father's side were evicted from their homes in "Operation Vistula" and persecuted until the collapse of the USSR.

What exactly is propaganda? In the statements that your universities are filled with a leftist plague? Is it that Muscovites are not Slavs?
Or that we will not capitulate?
Lenin's corpse does not lie on Red Square?
How can Christians in the 21st century have any relations with such barbarians who keep a mummy and perform sacred rituals over it?

By the way, will Trump go to the May 9th celebration?
If so, then he will be standing right on the mausoleum of Lenin's mummy. Because of this, his visa to heaven may be canceled, it's blasphemy, but I'm not sure.

It's good that you admit that there was an invasion of Ukraine.
I see you can still be cured of Russia Today propaganda, but it's a long process.
In any case, I'm not ready to be a doctor.

This state does need a RINO cleaning starting with John Cornyn. I love my Texas but you must remember it also gave us LBJ, the RINO Bushes and "Pecos" Perry. Most folks not from Texas don't realize that we have liberal shitholes like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. Now we ashamedly have stellar hacks like Jasmine Crockett and Al "the cane man" Green.
Oh, and can someone PLEASE convince Jerry Jones that he's not a football coach.

I love 223 in a bolt gun. I shoot 77 and 80smk bullets. I'm running a bighorn origin action with accurate mags and it feeds like butter, never a problem.

I'd definitely go 1:7 twist. Virtually every AR is a 1:7 where the majority of ammo being shot is 55g ball, why go slower for a bolt gun shooting 75s on up?

I am looking at taking that jump into the top tier scope race. I need advise that is not by sponsor paid spokespeople. With the amount of money going into these scopes it is a lot and I really don't want to waste it. I have bought gear that I thought guys were using, then later found out they would never actually use that gear at all and it was just a sponsor paid ad.

Now I really like the Kahles 540i do to the parallax, left windage and the extra field of view. The ZCO 8x40 is the other side I am looking at. I have heard good things about the ZCO but it does not have the same options as the Kahles. I have seen that a lot of PRS shooters are running the ZCO but I am wondering if ZCO is sponsoring shooters and giving a false showing of how many shooters are spending their own money to buy the scopes. F-Class seems to have a lot of shooters running Kahles. There are a few PRS shooters going with Kahles.

I am sorry to ramble here but I hope this helps you understand what I am trying say.

Didn't read the thread but will throw out my experience.

First off, I will concede that under-gassing or over-springing or over-weighting the buffer will cause more feed problems than over-gassing. You see this a lot in 3-gun and other comps where guys are trying to run the ragged edge and reduce recoil. That said, at some point, increasing the gas will 100% cause feeding, stove pipe, and ejection problems. Somewhere in the abyss I have high-speed footage that shows as much.

The lateral velocity of the ejecting case is pretty much constant and is determined by the ejector plunger spring and the ability of the extractor to properly keep hold of the case. As you increase gas, the rearward velocity component increases and the ejection angle changes, becoming more shallow. Eventually you start hitting the brass deflector (no big deal, still ejects 3:00-4:00), and then as you keep adding gas your cases smack the rear of the ejection port before they can clear the ejection port. This is when you start seeing 12:30-2:00 ejection. Keep adding gas and the cases will hit the rear of the ejection port then fly back into the upper. Sometimes you get extractor issues here, too, with the increased rearward velocity.

Bolt carrier velocity and the impulse of the BCG bottoming out causes a dynamic response to the rest of the system. Sometimes it's no big deal, sometimes, especially with sloppy magazine wells or lowers that hold the magazine at a lower height it definitely can cause feeding problems. The root issue is probably more the loosey goosey magazine well, but excessive recoil/gas isn't helping.

From an accuracy standpoint, I also have documented an increase in the frequency and the severity of fliers when increasing gas to the system.

I am firmly of the opinion that you want as little gas as is necessary to 100% function the system in the range of cleanliness/lube/temp/weather conditions you'll experience unless accuracy isn't on the priority list then gas it up to the point that you avoid the afore-mentioned function problems.

YMMV.

Thanks!

EEK!

I've been faithful using Fuel additives so it'll hopefully help.

If my Cryto investments go up I'll trade this truck in on a new one in 26 hoping that by now they've made higher quality CP4's.

Oh, how much approx OTD is it to have a delete done?

LAKE CITY, ARKANSAS 04/02/2025

One of the strongest and longest track tornadoes on record for the 2025 storm season so far. Spawned from an explosively growing supercell that matured from a clear blue sky anvil with a single downdraft column in just under an hour to a sprawling superstructure where individual features of the storm are too large to be seen from the ground, fueled by convective hot air pouring in from the Gulf. At 6:20PM, a violent rope vortex with a characteristic 'drillbit' base was spotted by ground crew, already spinning at high F3 strength and quickly grew into a several hundred yard diameter wedge with high F3/low F4 rotation. Note the horizontal snake-like subvortices extending out from the wedge like tendrils. The wedge was on the ground for well over half an hour, categorizing it as 'long track' before it gradually vanished and was swallowed up by the RFD behind the mesocyclonic wall. This storm was responsible for a number of injuries around the Lake City area. Footage from StormRunnerMedia.

ETA: The SRM crew's call in to the local sheriff's dept immediately upon visual confirmation of tornado on the ground prompted a proper Tornado Emergency, the accompanying sirens and cell phone alerts to be issued for Lake City, possibly minutes ahead of what would have happened if they waited for Norman OK Severe Storms Center to make the contact. These few minutes definitely saved lives and prevented more people from getting hurt.

Brother, the only reason I got a 2025 Cummins this time was the price…I walked out brand new for $45k after rebates..cheapest I could do on the powerstroke was $65k…if it were for serious use I would’ve considered the ford..but I am just looking to build an adventure wagon and Cummins are just easier to work on for that..plus, I don’t have to completely convert suspension geometry

Meh, I didn't read anything blood boiling. He helped a developer, and the developer donated to the campaign.
Not defending it but happens all the time across this country. He is cooperating with ICE deporting illegals in the same neighborhood. If he had steered them away from the area that would be more of an issue.
