Ukraine war Bullshit.

While at the same time, I have heard many claim Johnson also pushed not to sign the agreement. One hell of a mess.
It was on record with several sources at the time that he was literally the one that delivered the "recommendation" to avoid a cease-fire. He was a figurehead/puppet for the elite that seem to run the fucking show on the world stage. Jeff Sachs and a couple others documented his involvement with the process in great detail.

Which thing made the biggest difference?

Personally, the more I reload, the more I come to the conclusion that (at least for modern high quality bullets, brass, etc.,) many of the things people obsess over in reloading don't actually matter/do anything.
In my experience, your bullet, primer, powder combination has the biggest impact on group size. The right primer is mainly important for velocity consistency. Everything else (e.g. seating depth, primer pocket uniforming, weight sorting brass, volume sorting brass, etc.,) is basically a waste of time, in my experience. That said, maybe some of these things are important for certain bullets types or certain brass. I personally haven't seen it.

Primers, you tune with the powder and bullet combo. Seating depth will have a huge influence in accuracy. You can see it as you change the seating depths. But I agree with the other stuff like sorting brass, bullets ect, one can probably not shoot the difference. But for sure, seating depths you can.

Looking for the FL peeps again

Damn $300 titanium handled hammer
cool!
I have a lot of "things" for work; but the ones I have to wear on my body all day, are what takes a toll in the end. Both because they're used all day every day, and the toll they take on my body lugging the weight.

I upgraded to a Badger tool belt system, and I will never go back. The weight, durability, and ergonomics have been a game changer. But I'm still reluctant to lose my trusty Estwing 20oz. A supervisor for a company I do work for, has the Martinez and I was able to put time on it. For me, it handles better than a Stiletto (which i can get locally), unless we're talking wood handles. I just don't buy wood handled hammers for use in ME (IYKYK). The weight reduction and ease of use (ergonomics) are what's going to help.

Plus Ti lasts for friggin ever, and I can get it in neat colors.

And this is why I prefer speaking to people over the phone to try to educate people into making the best decision for their purpose. The forum can only do so much because a lot of people are missing details that they might not even realize that’s why I’m on the phone all day long and have a 2000 text messages in my phone.
A 10 minute call can equal dozens of posts IMO

Your PVA prefit experience

I did, its actually 18" and weighs 38.5 oz on my scale. The can is a Thunderbeast Ultra 7.

I think its great hunting profile. To compare, I took off an unfluted 18" Prefered Barrel Blanks #2 Sporter in 6.5 CM that weighed in at 46.4 oz. So in the barrel swap I saved about 8 oz for the same length barrel in a smaller caliber.

I thought that looked a little short for a 20”, I’m not sure where I got the idea it was that long. That barrel hammers. I have a 20” 300WSM of the same profile and flutes showing up this week for my short action Origin. I have high hopes for it. What stock is that? I have Peak 44 Bastion for mine, although I’ll likely put it in my weighted KRG-b for breaking and load development. Why bench a 8# gun when you can make it a 12# gun for testing.

Trump Announces the JFK Files Have Been RELEASED!

No one has yet mentioned - Edward Epstine . His role in being one of Kennedy’s first real surrogates in the press, his Harvard professorship, his dozen of so books on Kennedy, his connection to Jeffery Epstine and his possible involvement with the Mossad .
I’m not seeing a lot of mention of the mafia - except Jewish mobster Jacob Rubinstein , no mention of “Cuban assassins” and its now very obvious that the USSR was telling anyone who would listen about Oswald’s “plan” . Ambassadors , state department , ICE and boarder patrol officials .
If various government agencies knew as early as June/ August of 1963 and the government plan still went on without a hitch- well then it was more then a conspiracy it was a coup by the military industrial complex.

O and no one has mentioned old daddy Bush who claimed for the rest of his life he couldn’t remember where he was the day Kennedy was killed - except now we know as many have long speculated that he was in deed and fact in Dallas . Funny that .

Files mentioned that there were many people there in the plaza that day to watch. and there were. GHWB was there

Trump Announces the JFK Files Have Been RELEASED!

Oswalds rifle was sub MOA all day. When the feds test fired it shot 3/4 “ groups. 6.5 master race.

He was a Marine, i assume he knew how to use it. You guys are trained… right??

Kennedy was shot around 12:30 Tibbit was shot about 1:00, oswald was follwed to the theater and entered just after 1:00 after, presumably killing Tibbit.

How did tibbits get on his trail, 30 min after Kennedy was killed???

tibbits allegedly tried to stop Oswald on the street, could have been for something unrelated to the shooting, they had a confrontation on the street.

the theatre is where he went later on.


there's reports the scope mount was loose when they found the rifle, the FBI had to tighten everything up and maybe it was accurate but in its condition at the time of "firing", it was not.

Jimmy Files also says Oswald was with him when he tested the fireball. which means Oswald knew there were " backup" shooters but he also thought he would be extracated by his handlers.

Curious what you mean by ocular size? Are you talking about the wide angle eyepiece used in the Kahles K540i or is there something different you're referring to?

Hornady high speed 3 in 1 case trimmer

Got mine a couple weeks ago and finally got it setup the other day....cuts wonderfully....need hornady to sell replacement heads because the forester ones don't work on it. I'd rather have a head setup for each caliber rather than adjust the cutting blades each time. Also as a side note for guys. Standard forester pilots work for the calibers that don't come with the unit...threw my 25 pilot in it and did 350 pieces of gt brass with zero issue

Thanks for the input guys! I'm really intrigued by the ocular size of the new kahles k540 and wondering how long it will be til like zco, TT, and the rest follow suit to a bigger ocular. Right now I'm running a theos and I like it and might just wait to see if anything comes down the road

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

After 5 shots with a capable suppressed ELR cartridge you’re already getting into suppressor/barrel-induced mirage and it needs to cool. Do you think you’re getting an accurate ES/SD from 5 shots? If you do, shoot 5, let it cool 10 minutes while you record the result, then shoot another 5 added to the first 5 in the same session, let it cool another 10 minutes as you record the result, then shoot another 5 without closing the session. Compare 5 vs 15 and see what you see. Occasionally it’s the same if you have the load perfectly tuned, but often you’ll see the numbers double or more vs 5 shots. Then you know what you actually have.
Now, notice all the time wasted waiting for the rifle to cool which you could have used to gather data on another rifle if you could switch back and forth and reactivate sessions.
This right here ^^^ is the best explanation for why it would be beneficial to re-activate a string. When shooting multiple rifles it would be nice to switch back and forth after allowing one rifle to cool, etc.

While I am not a huge fan of Chai-knees, the fact that Athlon now has a similar product and if they happen to add this feature... just saying. I much prefer my Garmin but with similar products coming in, it would be good to see some of these requests taken more seriously as competition begins to heat up.

Since @Garmin started this thread, it would be nice to see a response. However, in light of the thread being about a v3.30 update (which I greatly appreciate their attentiveness to "fix" the issue that caused their units to falter with regard to reliability) I also understand this may not be the best place for these requests so if @Garmin has a suggestion where we can better request some of these features I think that would be helpful.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Anyone else find that the new CDF function won't save to the phone? I've found that to get the corrected dope I have to open the app with cell service. Twice I've been out of service when I open the app to shoot & the CDF doesn't work. I have to open it again with service for it to make the correction. I'm guessing that it's stored to the cloud? It definitely doesn't work without cell service.

Barrel vises and cerakote

Of the limited pieces of good advice my father told me growing up...I distinctly recall the one he said, "Anytime you get something new, find a spot somewhere out of sight and hit it with a hammer. Then when dings & scratches show up you won't be as bothered, because it was already dinged!" :ROFLMAO:
Never done it intentionally, but I distinctly remember my first new car (cheap 83 Chevy Cavalier). Was in the dealer lot transferring stuff from old (74 Vega) to new opened the vega's door right into the side of the new one, waited until I got home to throw a temper tantrum.
