Even then, I think the fear of being “unvalued” would keep most people working. Thing is, “speaking truth to power” generally only builds up the speaker internally. The power is almost always unaffected by it.

Your gonna need something to kill the heat.

Check out the minute rice website.
Lots of rice pudding recipes.
I did one tonight and of course jacked it up some.

Boiling Milk a cup, rice 1 cup raisins 1/3 - 1/2 I went rough and used 2/3 soaked in Bullet Rye whiskey and a few drops of vanilla. I cut that with a splash of water. Boil mix take off heat.

2 cups cold milk and a pkg of French vanilla pudding mix with some cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. Think eggnog for the summer.

Combine the 2 mixtures and put in cups with lids for single serve from the fridge.

Wife had oral surgery and was eating plain pudding so I thought a little rice would fill her up better, besides I just like rice pudding.

Cheap pantry staples and some milk.

It works for blood sugar. In all honesty, cutting carbs to 60 per meal and 20 per snack does tons even with minimal exercise. Get a jar of Nutella or something for the occasional time where you are seriously craving a fix. Then nurse one single tablespoon. It does wonders.

Testing R26 in my 20” barreled 300 WSM with 180 and 200 Accubonds, 200 Partitions, and 190 and 210 ABLR’s. So far I can get to 2800 with the 210’s, but it’s a 1.5” group. In my rifle, the best I’ve done is backing down to 2700 fps and running them .10” off. I have not length tested the 190’s yet, but loaded these test groups .1 off since the 210 likes it. I need to test further to see if the groups hold up or I got lucky. I got everything to shoot around 1 moa except the Partitions, but I’m looking for a consistent 3/4”. This barrel coppers up in the last 6” worse than any custom barrel I have; not sure if that’s hurting my groups yet though, just a bitch to clean.

Here’s the 190’s .1” off. Different charges of R26.

Not terrible, but just kind of meh. I can still hug an elk at 500 with it, especially if the .66” group can be replicated. My cheap Aero 6.5 fluted barrel on my Solus shoots a lot better and cost 80% less and doesn’t copper up at all.

Good luck with your load development!

Yeah so far I’m at around .8-1 groups, not something that I deem “good enough”
Would like to be .5-.7

Anyone know what expected barrel life is? And I don't mean from the dudes who pull their Dasher barrels at 1200 rounds

Anyone running 175 noslers with rl26? I’ve got great data. But my groups are best at 1 moa so far.
Do they like jump?
Berger’s shoot great in the rifle but refuse to shoot them for hunting from a previous bad experience using them in my saum

And expensive, so why shoot em?

If Berger would make a bonded hunting bullet I don’t think we’d have to look else where.
Got rid of all my 175 Bergers after they didn’t open up on my elk.
Just my 2 cents

Because I’m curios more than anything I suppose! It’s just a different area of containing velocity spread.

Ultimately this gets into building the best loads for a specific gun but also selecting the best barrel length for a factory cartridge. Years ago I observed that a 16” 308 had an ES of upwards of 80+ fps with FGMM, and a 24” have ES of right around 40 fps with the same lot of ammo. Obviously, there is a range due to tolerances of each specific barrel etc. A big principle in theory is that the more powder that burns outside the barrel the greater the ES.

I’ve read info on this years ago and just can’t seem to remember where. There was testing data and all sorts of good information. Just wondering if anyone has any info.

Good luck.

Rob01 said:

Why? They will be two different barrels and you can see differences in ES/SD in two different barrels of the same length. Unless you are cutting down the same barrel it’s a waste of time to try and figure any difference which is itself is a waste of time.

I would be looking for every hollow point subsonic round made.

That explains the delay in this instance. How did I miss that.

There is a video of some of the local cops finding a baby rabbit on the road. One is going to move it off the road and let it go when another one asks to hold it. As soon as he gets it he throws it against a truck as hard as he can killing it and laughs. I'd post the video but its on facebook. I cant figure how to post it without my personal info being compromised which has happened. A POS member here did that to me awhile back. If I can find a seperate link I'll post it.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton played audio today of Alan Dershowitz saying there IS a list and he has seen it as part of discovery of his lawsuit over going to pedophile island.

Didn't catch who was asking the questions or what network Dershowitz was on.

You can bet there are R's and D's on the list along with some VERY wealthy people.

And yet they don't kill us... Because until they evolve opposed thumbs, they can't operate a can opener or get into the food closet!

Though General Sherman opens doors with no problem. Little bastard. He also stole the key to my gun cabinet and 'lost' it under a carpet. It took me a month to find it. Literally pulled it out of the lock and buggered off with it.

Studies also show that cats love us... so must be a love-hate thing. Which is why they are more interesting than dogs. If not as useful!

useful? can you imagine what we would have if we had applied the same techniques we used with dogs and horses? i mean like the Mendel/Carver things. how would you like 100lb Leopard for a security/protection critter? we missed their "potential" IMHO. my two are realized,not potential PsITA.

Dan had an epiphany

I use Pelican 1750’s and 1720’s (for folding stock) for bolt guns. I make sure to only carry essentials in them to keep the weight down. Mag, bolt, rifle, can. That’s it. Every piece of foam you cut out of it, reduces the support for the rifle

Spec sheet is in the wind after our house flooded...... basics are 2300+ fom, 72lpi one tiny spec at 9 o-clock outer zone noticed it with the gain wide open, this tube is super clean.

this weekend Ill get some

I gave the 4-16 a try because I couldn't stand the tunneling on the early 5-25. I use 4-5x when calling coyotes sometime and looking down a $2.5k toilet paper tube just felt stupid. Did it prevent good shots? No. But it sure rubbed me wrong. I have owned at least one 4-16 at all times since then.

I kind of agree with what someone alluded to earlier...the 4-20 doesn't really offer much that the 7-35x doesn't unless you absolutely need to go <7x. Just the 4-16x42's turrets alone would make the 4-20 way more appealing imo.

Some Magnus and a 1926... Buddies daughter gets married tomorrow. A long way from the Homestead!

77 TMK are NASTY. We did some backyard expansion testing and your SMK's and Hornady 75 BTHP didnt expand at all. They literally stayed intack and slightly bent like a banana. I have some pictures around here Ill try and dig up. We shot them from a 16" AR into wet phone books covered with wet denim in front.

The TMK's on the other hand expanded like crazy and almost looked like an HST pistol round. Devastating from our testing... Not a scientific test at all but major difference in results in our backyard test.


I havent tested any Aeromatch

I’m skeptical that wet phone books are provide a realistic representation of what a bullet will do in critters.
There are plenty of videos online showing how the MK 262 performs in ballistic gel.
It is surprisingly effective.
Here is one of many:

The fear of going broke without a job is exactly how the plandemic had as much leverage as it did.

If everyone was disciplined enough to have 6 months to 1 year of living expenses saved up, they would be amazed at the freedom they would have of not having to kiss the ring of an asshole employer.
