OH NO!!!!

Gotta get started on the new Louisiana ski resort. Ski Cajun I’ll call it. Also gotta stock up on all those down stuffed parkas and insulated underwear. Powder gots to be optimized for sub freezing temperatures. Targets gotta start being painted Black

Cause, forget all this shit about climate change and the poles melting and the lefties lattes getting heated naturally by the planet heating up cause we’re HEADING INTO A NEW ICE AGE. :(.


Scientists just confirmed that Earth is slowly tilting toward its next ice age.

Experts have long suspected that changes in Earth's orbit play a key role in triggering ice ages, and now a new study has confirmed it.

Researchers from Cardiff University have uncovered a precise link between Earth's orbital cycles and past glaciation periods, providing a powerful tool for predicting future climate fluctuations. By analyzing deep-sea fossil records, they discovered that deglaciation—the end of an ice age—is triggered by a specific relationship between Earth's axial tilt (obliquity) and its wobble around the Sun (precession).

Meanwhile, the onset of an ice age appears to be driven solely by obliquity. This breakthrough explains why ice ages have occurred in predictable 100,000-year cycles and suggests that another one is due within the next 11,000 years.

While this discovery offers valuable insight into natural climate patterns, researchers warn that human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, are already altering Earth's climate beyond its natural trajectory. Understanding how ice ages naturally occur is crucial for accurately assessing the long-term impact of human-induced climate change. As Earth's tilt continues to decline, signaling the start of the next glaciation, scientists emphasize the importance of factoring natural climate cycles into future climate predictions. The study underscores the need for sustainable action today, as decisions made now could shape Earth’s climate for millennia to come.

Stock Market

Im feeling optimistic.

My thoughts are that the market has needed a correction.

Id rather see a correction related to unrelated fears rather than to some sort of actual economic issue.

Granted fears of Corona virus are creating actual market problems in supply chains and purchase orders but Im thinking once Corona virus is revealed as a nothing burger shit is going to spin up very fast.

Co workers laments about his 401K got me thinking about this.

Who cares?

Unless people start dropping dead in the streets or if he decides to retire tomorrow nothing to see and good opportunities

Powder IN-STOCK thread

Well, I'd like to start a thread for people to post in-stock powder when they find it. It only works if people keep participating and everyone stays on topic. The last general reloading in-stock thread died, so I figured I'd start one for powder ONLY. Primers are typically out-of-stock within seconds, and projos are becoming easier to find.

Val Kilmer - The mag reload scene -RIP

Don’t know much about the guy personally but he was one of the best actors of his era and passed away today. Was on his game in the movie Heat.

I remember the first time I saw Heat during the shootout scene that mag reload felt authentic and very real like he was fighting for his life.

The infamous mag reload scene.

Is it worth reloading precision ammo on a single stage versus progressive press?

I currently reload bulk calibers (9mm, 45aarp, .223 and .308) on my Dillon 550. I am wading into the waters of 6GT and was curious if it is worth getting a single stage press to reload that on. If so, how does the RCBS Partner Press compare to the basic Hornady Lock and Load? My grandpa has the RCBS that he said I could have, but the Hornady can be found cheap and I like the idea of the quick swap bushings so I don't have to change stuff around every time.

Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

I just put together a new gun chambered in 6.5 creedmoor with some pretty decent parts. I’ll post a few pictures.

This is my first gun on a custom action and I cannot get it to shoot ANY factory ammo. I know this isn’t a huge list of ammo but some of it is high quality and I’d expect it to shoot. All of this is shooting 1 moa at best with most of it over 1 moa. I tried some hand loads I had from an older 6.5 and they also shot poorly but my SD was a 3.8 so maybe there’s hope with the hand loads.

Factory ammo I’ve tried
140 grain Berger hybrid target
140 grain eld match
140 grain Serria gold metal match
140 grain federal fusions
125 grain Winchester xp

Things I’ve checked.
-Action screw torque 65 front 45 back per manners.
-Scope ring, base 55 in lbs per ARC
-Rail 25 in lbs
-Head space is good with the go and no go gauges I have checked this multiple times.
-I’ve lightened the trigger to 3oz to try to rule out any shooter error.

Am I the best shooter, absolutely not but I’ve shot plenty of .3-.5” groups in my time. I got frustrated yesterday and cleaned the barrel and put the gun up and grabbed another gun of mine that I know shoots and shot a .33” group at 100. I’m going to work up some hand loads today with h4350, lapua brass, Cci 200s and Berger 140 grain hybrid targets and Hornady ELDMS. It’s kind of disappointing though as I had a Ruger American that will out shoot this gun 10/10 times with factory ammo.

This isn’t a bashing post by any means I’m looking for some solid advice as I had high hopes for this barrel.
