Someone murdered Charlie Kirk

This dude Ryan Fournier on social media is doing that work. He posted that he had 13k leads and was going through all of them. I;m not on the social media train so can't give you a direct link, just remember reading about it
There is another website: charliesmurderers.com that is saying they have over 30,000 names being compiled into a searchable database. That will have some reach if it actually happens.

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

In all fairness, unemployment & inflation were reported much more accurately back then. Food was included in inflation, for example. I wasn't in the workforce back then, 14 when Reagan was elected, but well remember what was going on. The numbers now are considerably higher than what we're being told.


And to your other point, spot on. (Although, we're running 50/50 with our kids.) Our son is 30, has been married for 8 years, they bought their 1st house 7 years ago. 5 years ago, they sold it and bought a much bigger house in a much nicer city/neighborhood. Granted, we paid for his bachelors degree (math major with double minors, bus. admin. and IT something or other), but then he got his masters on his own (data analytics). He's a major league asshole, but no-one can argue his accomplishments.

Our 27 y.o. daughter on the other hand... we also paid for her bachelors (social work ☹️ I tried my best to talk her out of it), now she's an ass't mgr. at Dollar General, seems to have no interest in getting another job in her field, and lives with us. 😕 (She did work as a social worker at a homeless shelter for about 4 years.)
I was fortunate that my son has a great work ethic. From early on he put in the time, effort and practice to excel at everything he tried. Baseball and basketball did not work for him but he did get a full scholarship for golf. Afterwords he paid for his masters and CPA degree.

I understand what you mean by 50/50. If they are both happy, more power to them. It is a good example of personal choice determining the outcome.

With the difference in his shots I wouldn’t sweat it at all. I’d load some and shoot them at longer ranges, at least 300 yards, and see how the groups are and how they waterline.

Is that weight the weight of the case or the water weight of internal capacity as that is what matters. Actual case weight doesn’t really tell you much.

I appreciate your comments. I’m not sure about this second base theory. I have 4 siblings, I’m in the middle, my mother was a stay at home mom and my father was a career Marine retired as a Gunnery Sergeant in the mid 70’s. Needless to say family budget was tight.

I went to work right out of high school during the end of the Jimmy Carter administration. That economy with double digit inflation and unemployment was much worse than what we have now.

I still see the young man at the plant that bought a house on his own before he was 25.

Not trying to argue, but I know of several people his age that are making it work,

It’s easy to blame schools but a lot of parents are lazy and don’t take charge. I’m willing to bet his parents were permissive and “oh he’ll just grow out of his weird faggot lefty phase” etc.

The left fills the dark voids where people aren't looking and they have infiltrated things we hold sacred, like education. When exposed, it's instantly dismantled to be propped up somewhere else. BLM was a good example, and the "founders" ended up stealing all the money and retreating to the shadows again.

Apologies as this thread moves too fast, where was the tip line for people posting Kirk hate. I got a local I'd like to nominate. He needs to become famous.

edit:[email protected] was were I sent it.

I plan on speaking to the a-hole if I see him localy.

Peacefully. But I am done being quiet. I also plan on counter protesting our local protests, even if its just my goofy ass.

Tango Fire 4000 - CDF not implemented - coming soon?

I don’t think that adding CDF to the equation will fix the issue. If you are seeing impact shifts of .1-.2 at 1000 yds how can you be sure it’s not something else? In real world shooting IMHO .1-.2 at 1000yds is negligible. Shooting steel at MOST matches and at MOST ranges that difference is still an impact. Glad they are offering it up, but is it really necessary?

I would really, really ask you older guys to go read this old thread on here.


You aren't wrong about what you say if the paradigm is 1975, but it isn't anymore and this linked thread shows it. @748rpilot also laid it out really clearly.

The game has changed. @BurtG video he posted at the beginning of the thread is also priceless.

Want to see some real sickness. About his wife. Sit down.

Wajahat Ali is a New York Times Contributing Op-Ed writer, and political leftist blogger. Ali is ALSO the anchor-baby child of two Pakistani nationals who came to the U.S. and began committing software piracy, eventually facing charges for conspiracy, mail fraud, and wire fraud in a scheme to defraud Microsoft. They served nearly five years in prison for their convictions.

Ugly reloading precision primer seater

I'm retired with too much time on my hands. I didn't go down the rabbit hole, I jumped in headfirst and hit my head on the way down. These people are getting single digit SDs, I could do that! I'm getting double digit SDs... can I shoot well enough to discern the difference - NO.

When I started reloading in the 80s, I started with Lyman pistol dies and shell holders; used the Pacific/Hornady press priming tool setup. In the 90s I started reloading rifle with Hornady dies and shell holders, again using the press. Later I bought the Hornady hand priming tool and found out it would only take Hornady shell holders. Later I decided to stay with Hornady stuff for large primers and bought the RCBS Universal Priming Tool. Time went by and I wanted to do more. I seriously considered the Lee ACP BPT but realized 1) learned it was discontinued, 2) parts would be unavailable. Modify the Deluxe APP? I thought the PCPS would be the answer.

I'll keep trying... it's in my nature. And there's always another rabbit hole.

FRT's - What is good? And what is Rare Breeds real website?

The full size is so, so smooth. It's my favorite gun.

Especially given the rate of fire vs the K, it really feels much better.
Yup.. For semi auto, I really enjoy the MP5K with tri-lug, K can, MRDS, and B&T folder. Such a fun close range gun for shooting steel in cowboy towns, plate racks, dueling trees, and inside the house work on graded TGTs.

Cyclic rate is insane though when stepping up from semi with an MP5K.

Cyclic rate is very easy to control with a full-size MP5 and correct rollers.

I still like the MP5K configured and in semi though.

Been looking at an SP5K to SBR and pimp out for my kids, since 9mm is so cheap.
