Both would suck.

Interesting rings and scope positioning in the rings. That might indicate skill /knowledge level. Cant see the muzzle, but I am betting no muzzle device. Especially given earlier it appears someone got an account from someone present, saying unsuppressed.

Since you pointed that out, I will chime in with one of my stupid thoughts. . . . . .

Remember when they were reporting that the rifle was found with a fired case still in the chamber and 3 rds in the internal mag?
I have had this theory all day. . . . .

Exhibit 1 for referrence:




Hear me out. . . . . . . .


Light Sporter weight rifle and scope.
+
30-06 mother fucking Springfield recoil
+
Likely holding the rifle loose during the shot (cause he's a little bitch).
+
Likey head position further forward due to prone position. Maybe for the first time if previous practice was from bench or over the hood.
+
Scope setup WAY too far back in the rings.
=
I totally see him breaking this shot and this rifle knocking the fuck out of his brow with the scope objective. . . !

He didn't see that coming.
Got the shit knocked out of his face.
Wonders "what the fuck".
Grabs his shit and runs without cycling the action.



Hear me out . . . . . .

If they catch him and release a pic of his mug, look for a nice cut around is dominate eye.

If it comes true, you bitches owe me DQ Oreo Blizzards for life.

If you have a correctly built-assembled rifle with a decent 20-inch match-grade barrel and can not get it to shoot sub-MOA groups with loads charged at 23.4 grains of 8208 pushing bullets from 69 to 80 grains there is something wrong with it.

Click to expand...

23.4 is where I landed. I have actually been shooting some for that ammo to fireform 223ai. Shoots great for that also.

I saw that also.

200ft = 66yds = what I would have thought is WAY too close for the closest elevated position on that campus venue.

We have already determined from past incidents including the Mandalay Bay shooting that reporters and posters absolutely suck at terminology.
They have no clue of the difference between feet, yards, furlongs or fathoms.

More food for thought.....

Stop and think what a 30-06 would sound like at 66yds from the muzzle.
A Mauser in '06 wouldn't likely have a suppressor and that bitch would be deafening to the entire crowd. Even with the audio signal compression and nerd shit going on with people's phone vids, the shot report would have still been epic. Yet it was not.

The muzzle blast from a 30-06 would have had everyone videoing with their phone jerk like a motherfucker at the shot. None of the hand held phone vids translate to that.

Honestly I think the 30-06 muzzle report at 200 YARDS would have been more than experienced as well.


Lots of questions and head scratchers for sure.

Click to expand...

I don’t know where he was located on the building roof but he probably didn’t have his muzzle sticking over the side so if he was back on the roof from the edge a ways the report would have been deflected up or over the crowd changing what you would normally expect to hear. That’s my wild ass guess.

I know it's an honor, but don't know how Charlie would feel about being in the same group as Soros and Gates. How twisted were they in who got awards?

Agreed.

What the Kenyan and Biden did with that award absolutely cheapened it. The idiocy of their decisions on who to present it to removed any prestige from its intent.

The disgust for people celebrating the murder of a political opponent is not about disrespecting the freedom of speech.

The horror is their clear admission that the acceptance of their ideology is a prerequisite for them to grant you the right to life and dignity. If that is not the face of totalitarianism, then I do not know what is.

The 7mm BC cases are different because they are not hybrid cases.
You have to make your own dies for 7mm BC.
The first part or sizing is easy just neck size,slight shoulder touch and load. Shoot.
The next time the body die was employed. Its a bit tighter than needed, but I am concerned about spring back after several firings...if they stay put in the body I can polish out .001" on the shoulder...to make it easier. But I've already had to reduce the neck dia because of spring back.

You shouldn't have to size the steel portion of the case...except where its real thin and is joined to the btass.
No solid head is ever sized, it's supposed to be undersized here and just falls into the die..as shown with the hybrid case head falling almost completely into the die.

Click to expand...

Right. That solid steel portion where primer pocket and flash hole are isn't being sized. It's that portion above that's been blown out .002" and is taking more force to size it back down.

45-90 said:

Same with the 7mm BC fired steel case goes even farther into the die, no sizing is done here on any case.

If so your case head has expanded under extreme pressure and primers will fall out.
These cases will take 100k and brass maybe 70 k+ before that happens depending on the brass hardness.

You should anneal the neck shoulder area to get the hybrid case to not spring back when FL sizing...same as brass because that portion is.

Click to expand...

Yes, I do anneal necks and shoulder area, per what I mentioned above. I don't anneal to dead soft, so I do get a very small amount of springback (nothing to be of any concern). What I was wondering about is the springback of the body while in the chamber after firing. With the high pressure, I'm thinking there's less of it than with the lower pressures normal brass is put under. With less spring back in the chamber, this would seem to explain why these cases took more effort for them to be sized.

45-90 said:

Hybrid cases lengthen on the first firing maybe .015" and need to be trimmed back.
The joint flattens out under pressure lengthening the case.

Click to expand...

Yes, I'd expect the cases to be lengthened on first firing. My case's headspace measurement after firing were all at 1.605 (using my Hornady headspace comparator). Then when I sized them (my die having been set to bump shoulders back .0015"), the headspace space measured 1.609 to 1.610" and I don't know how that happens inside the die that's set the way it was. Running the case through a second time would then move the shoulder down to 1.605" and the case's OAL's weren't extremely long (no where near .015" longer).

45-90 said:

I always skim neck turn into the shoulder.

Click to expand...

Yeah, I always turn until there's a little removed from the shoulder at the junction.

Thanks for your comments! Much appreciated.

Humans suck.

I’d wager that well over 98% of Kirk’s haters have never watched him at all or for more than 5 minutes. They read and listen to their echo chamber until it becomes irrefutable fact to them.

That said, it’s a “human nature” thing. Every group is no less susceptible to confirmation bias (yeah, that means YOU and me). It takes considerable, conscious effort to actively counteract information and sentiments that resonate with you, especially if said info supports your cherished worldview. Being able to accept and acknowledge information that directly conflicts with your view is virtually impossible to accept for most humans — just look at Flat Earthers, Chemtrail Wingnuts, Lunar Landing Deniers, etc. You could launch a Flat Earther into space and he wouldn’t believe his own eyes.

They’re 100% free to say whatever they like.

And they also get to live with the consequences; public shaming, loss of employment for not “representing the values” of their employer, etc. among those entirely foreseeable outcomes.

Went out to confirm zero one last time on my 18” 7 WSM with a diligent LTI suppressor. Got some speeds on it for the first time. Shooting factory 162 ELD-X precision hunter. This rifle drives tacks and will be packed into the mountains next month for my elk hunt.
