Same here in VT high school, class of 84... We all had Buck Folding knives on our belts, too. Noone thought a thing about it!

Same in Virginia. At about 12 my father taught me how to make black powder. That quickly morphed into more potent explosives. All was good, including setting the basement ablaze (very small fire, only lost my eyebrows), until we started making pipe bombs. The cops confiscated one and put it under a 55 gallon steel drum. Blew it to shreds and about 80 feet high. Pop got a call and that was the end of that.

"He was such a a good child, I dont know what happened to him.". LOL.

Elementary school age, Cub Scout member. On days we had "den" meetings after school at one of the members homes, we wore our uniforms to school. Part of the uniform was our folding knives which hung from a hook on our belt. We could have the knives on us at school as long as we followed 3 rules:
1. They were to never to be used as a weapon
2. They were never to be used to mark or scratch on our desks
3. They were never to be used to cut off some girls ponytail. Yes, that is a very true rule
Violation of any of these rules led to confiscation, punishment, and you and all other scouts would never be allowed to have knives at school again. Greatest fear of scouts? Causing your fellow scouts not to be allowed to carry their knives because of something you did wrong. Different times for sure.

I got kicked out of Cub Scouts...for eating Brownies.

Joke but I did get kicked out...for fighting.

18" id try for somewhere around the 2500-2600fps in that grain weight. I personally would start with the suppressor on....last thing you want to do is develop a load and stick a can on then induce excess pressure.

Yep, that's what I'm thinking as well.

Funny you say that: every now and again after I jam it in all the way I turn it sideways a little bit and it really seems to get her going

I always thought it was the element of surprise

I would do the load development with the suppressor since taking it off would change the barrel harmonics.

I’m still waiting on my 6 arc barrel so I don’t have any real world data for you re: speed targets for the bullets in question but side note that if you have any on hand CFE 223 gets pretty good velocity for 6 arc gas guns compared to almost anything except leverevolution maybe.

This has probably been posted multiple times so SIAP but the below pic is a good general guide for speed targets with different length barrels:

This chart really helps - thanks!

And that explains a lot and creates more questions now. My first test with loading for the 6 ARC, I was getting much higher speeds than I expected, along with early pressure signs that I didn't expect. Npw the trick is to figure out why...

Below are the results from my first test run. I was getting really fast speeds even at low powder charges. So I wonder what is causing that big of a difference in speeds between mine and the chart above.

Chrono is a Garmin X1

The Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans have all developed IR concealment systems for individual soldiers dating back to the early 2000s at the latest. We did tactical exploitation exercises and tests with them in Finland in the early 2010s, including evading detection from drones with IR cameras at night. It’s a reality for anyone wanting to operate dismounted in that type of environment. Needs to be added to the various Sniper School curriculums if they are to be taken seriously.

Now it would be nice if it were available to civilians.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Have never seen a Hodges barrel run well. Way under-gassed.

That is another thing that I can say about the Noveske SS and CHF barrels.... they are consistent. I have owned about 20 or so and they have always been consistent.

Really? ACOGs too? Now I feel that you are just trolling for a fight...........

My Hodge barrel runs fine.

I would drill and tap the JP Arca rail so you don’t disrupt the overall finish of that rifle.

I been watching this all week long debating if I'd like an H59 or not. If it had a JVCR, I'd have snatched it, lol

Of the 30 different countries I’ve traveled to or lived in, you know how many of them I made a point to insult everyone in?

Yeah, zero. Why is America the place you can come to and start telling us how to run our business?

Yes. That is my plan. Match to action. How is that different?

I’ll search for a thread for you.. there a lot that goes in to it.

all things equal you prob cant shoot the difference but no one shooting bench rest or F class buys a “prefit” on the internet.

They may have their exact action specs on file and order it frim a smith but it’s not a “prefit”
