as free people or transferred as prisoners ?

US moves 11 Guantanamo Bay detainees to Oman

The move has left 15 detainees in the prison - the smallest number at any point in its history.

www.bbc.com

Efforts to resettle the group in Oman began years ago...

The men were cleared for transfer by federal national security review panels, which determined that doing so was "consistent with the national security interests of the United States", the Defense Department said.

AQ is a weapon created by the CIA to be used against our enemies- tracking? They are a Sunni Salafist/ Wahhabist group that is resourced and led from within the Gulf Terror Kingdoms. We used them against Russia in Afghanistan, Russia in the Balkans, Russia in Chechnya, the Brother Leader in Libya, President Doctor Bashar al Asad in Syria, etc... etc...

These guys are AQ from Yemen being released into Oman so that they can go into Yemen and "take their country back..." from the people that actually live there, who all support the Houthis- a Shia fighting group.

With todays high quality brass and modern actions, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of handloaders are shooting in the 65K -70Kpsi range and don’t even realize it.

Right? The reloading section is a constant parade of Bubba's extra-pissin'-hot loads and Snipers Hide 75ksi specials in tortured brass cases. But when discussion is on something actually designed for 80ksi with high strength steel in the right spots there seems to be a lot of "Oh lawdy, 80 thousands sure is a big numbah, don't know if I want to put my face next tuh that!"

I doubt all these manuf are going to one off and make one super special action variant for their models that are chambered in 7bc.

I don't really see why they would have to, the bolt thrust from a .532 magnum at 65 ksi should be similar, or maybe a touch higher than the bolt thrust from a .473 case at 80ksi, pressure over the cross sectional area of the interior pressure vessel being the driver. That doesn't take into account that the high strength steel case is probably taking a higher proportion of the load as compared to a brass case when locked to the sidewalls under pressure, reducing thrust on the bolt itself.

I'm not really concerned about the safety of this cartridge, even in most existing modern actions. What bothers me is that the more videos I've seen, the more it seems like the reloading processes and products don't exist for it yet, and probably won't for a while, if ever. When they do, Federal seems to have a copyright of the name and a patent on some part of the case forming process that leads me to wonder if they might be the only real source for a while. Given their track record of component availability, I'd hate to be stuck trying to reload something I can only get from them.

Of course none of that is probably a concern for the Gunwerks crowd that the original release seems to be catering to.

10 twist in a 300PRC eh?

And an 8 in 6 creed. I don’t get it. But 7 RM gets an 8 twist.

Not sure if they or their barrel supplier is just limited on twist options?

So poor all they have is money.

Well the lack of stock could be due to the fact they just moved to Texas. I'm sure that had a ripple effect in manufacturing. While I'm not a fan of the new owners it would sadden me to see Armalite go. I feared the company would go down hill once Westrom sold it....

These exceed my US territorial expansionist dreams...

Keep dreaming for the next 4 years- none of this Panama/ Greenland/ Canada stuff is actually going to happen.

It's a piece of propaganda designed to create a level of comfort among the American populace with the idea of land grabs.

The J-state will expand their campaign of genocide into Lebanon and Syria, the Hammer and Sickle banner will move deeper into Europe, China will take Taiwan... and as a Trump-led America stands crippled and incapable before our adversaries, there will be a campaign of messaging aimed at different brain-wavelengths to offer excuses:

1) "Well weeeeee talk about violent expansionism all the time..."
2) "Well we durn got problems of our own here what with transgenders bein on every damn Netflix show..."
3) "What about programs for rural pillbillies and urban ferals? We can't afford to be the world's only superpower."
4) "I can't find any uh them thurr places on a globe, but they must be inside J-state/ Russia/ Chinas Zone of Special Privelage."
etc, etc...

This is just setting the table for #1.

I'd argue that the era of annealing being more 'common' probably started somewhere around the time of the Ken Light machines, maybe a little after that. Before, sure, the occasional weirdo did that sort of thing in the garage/shop, but relatively few reloaders had even heard of it, much less considered doing it themselves.

I think it started to pick up steam about 15-20 years ago, and really started taking off 10-15 years ago.

So, short but not lightweight or easy to handle?

Not as bad as you’d think, just an ounce over 20 lbs.

Name and shame, being a reddit mod is absolutely vile.

I got perm banned from Reddit for "Advocating Violence" against Rooskie Animals in the immediate days following the invasion of Ukraine. Lost all my fake internet points and it felt bad, man.

My BEST ban among firearms fora though was where this guy posted a review of class he took- some place deserty- and the last pic was a somewhat chunky girl in a bikini top with big boobies doing an air kiss. She was... I shit you not... seated atop an oil drum that said "B&J SERVICES" but her one leg was almost completely covering the ampersand.

I commented, "WHOA!! This class comes with BJ Services!?! How much was it again?"

So this same guy comments next, "That's my WIFE......"

To which I chuckle, because I think it's like a cute joke. LOL emoji to that.

THEN, a second later I get a PM in my inbox- "You MF'er... I'll kick your ass... I'll shoot you in the head... You can't get girls like that... You probably live in your Mom's basement... You probably have a small weiner..."

THEN, a few minutes later I get a PM from a toughguy Mod to tell me that I've crossed a moral line, and I'm a piece of shit to talk about a man's woman, blah blah... and I'm like thinking, "Have I actually seen her topless on Lightfighter when she was with some other dude?" WHY did he inexplicably post boobs if we're not allowed to discuss? Was this some kind of trap?

Then the Perm-Ban. LOL. Their loss, my gain.

I got banned from accurate shooter for saying that bullets do not go to sleep after one of the old bench rest guys claimed they did. I was basically told that he had forgotten more than I will ever know and disagreeing with him was offensive. I got banned from rimfire central for far less. The mods there are not just sensitive little bitches, but they are technically ignorant, and don't want to learn or understand anything. It's enforced ignorance.

Do you want another Flip? Because this is how you get another Flip. Whispers... "Ease into it".

Not gonna lie, I missed the whole Flip implosion. Might have to hit up the archives so I can understand the references.
