The original American colonies kicked our "ally" out of here and then started the formation of today's USA. Then the USA saved and bailed our "ally" out of 2 world wars. Our "ally" still not and has not upheld their total commitment to NATO from the beginning of its creation. Along with never having fully paid back the USA for its ww2 loans. Now Z is expecting them to bail him out? 🤣 Z should read/study history before panhandling anywhere, if he had, he wouldn't have gotten taken to the woodshed by DJT and JDV publicly before going off groveling to the UK and EU.

I'll post pictures tomorrow as the brass is in my shop, but the Hornady brass has a lot of marks on the case heads, the FGMM looks perfect. Makes me really wish I had recorded more of the velocity readings from that stuff... definitely not loaded weak...

Not sure if it plays into it at all, but this rifle has a manual ejector. So maybe head space could cause the marks I'm seeing on the Hornady brass if the shoulder is to far back from the factory?

Tumbled the brass in some corn cob media, lubed, neck sized, washed in lacquer thinner and dried. If the case was expanding both directions though due to something like the shoulder being to far back from the factory, not sure I want to load the brass...going to measure it, deburr etc. tomorrow and decide...

the powders I have on hand are CFE 223, Reloader 15, and Win 748... Not trying to hot rod anything, I just want to try each powder I already have... maybe 5 rounds each just to see what they do with a middle of the road charge.

If you look at the photos I posted above You will see the 3 top photos have an average velocity of around 1440 fps @ 1,000Y (FGMM 140gr SMK)
2 of the bottom photos are around 1475 fps @ 1,000y (Sierra Custom Competition 140gr SMK)
One of the bottom photos has a velocity of 1558 fps @ 1,000y (Hornady 147gr ELD Match)

They must be pushing the Hornaady ammo much harder than the FGMM and Sierra Custom Competition to get a heavier bullet travelling that much quicker. It stands to reason tht you will see ejector marks and flatter primers.
I may still have that brass kicking around somewhere.
I'll post pictures if I find it.

Reloader 15 and Win 748 are on either side of Varget as far as burn rate goes. RE15 slightly faster and Win 748 slightly slower. CFE

Hearing protection active muffs in 2025

I own or used in the past swatcoms, liberator 2.0, sordin supreme pre hear2 and comtac V. All work great and have very little difference in sound clarity between them. The biggest difference I've noticed is one might have more bass while another will have higher treble. It's really what your ears prefer.

I also don't notice much if any difference in passive sound attenuation. Using swatcom and comtac back to back I have noticed a very small difference between them in favor of the comtac but it's very very slight.

Comfort, always go for the gels, much better than any of the standard ear cups.
Behind the neck is nice, safariland has an adjustable neck band for those of us that have a taller narrower head. Tried the sordin one and never got a good fit.

All of those will be a huge upgrade from the HL and Walker's.

not help to OP, but I went to google maps, to Eugene. Then as i "flew" around, I noticed that there is a distinct "quilt patch work" look and when you zoom in, you see very distinct, straight edged areas of no trees....almost praire looking areas, but again, it is many of them sewn in among the forest. What is that? it doesn't look natural. it doesn't look like farms. just curious this is to the southwest of Eugene, if you care to look.

I was all set on buying some Ops Core + their fancy NFMI plugs, but I read some comments on a YT vid that suggest that the headsets are fragile (I know, I know, YT comments veracity).

Since the unit is over $1k, that gave me some pause…but the manufacturer promises a high NRR (or SNR?) rating while being able to hear much better than regular doubling up.

For interest

Having used Ops Core Amps at work on a helmet for over a year, I’ll say I never found them to be fragile. My gear gets tossed in a large gear bag on thrown on a team shelf between assignments and never had any issues.
