Thank you!!!

Hello All, I have a nephew that has an R93 in 300 Win Mag and the damn thing is incredibly picky about which ammo it shoots ok. The only bullet it seems to like is the 150gr Hornady Interlock. It shoots monolithic bullets, Partitions, and A-Frames all over 1 1/2” @ 100 yards. He is very...

First of all, the airplane is not unsafe. Yes, there have been significant incidents/accidents, but they have been and are being rectified. The FAA is all over Boeing and they’re (Boeing) paying airlines in excess of $400 million for the door issues that resulted in another grounding of the...

I wish they still made them in LH!!!

Nope, I didn’t fire off any warnings. I know the reality and have friends that used to train their pilots during the airline downturns of 9/11 and the economic downturn of 2008. As for the fighter jock comment…. That’s cute that you think that…. In my 20 years of flying commercially, the...

Yes, that is exactly what happened. What exacerbated the situation was that the MCAS was based off of a single sensor too. It wasn’t a redundant system. EVERYTHING in transport category airplanes has at least one redundant system. Large widebody airplanes have multiple redundant systems for...

Ugh, thanks for pointing that out!!! ‍♂️

I just bought some Nosler 416 Rem Mag 400gr Partition ammo for $128/box. It’s not a bad price for what it is. They also have many other “Blazing Deals” for other calibers.

Negative, I have trained the exact scenarios that crashed both those jets. I’ve never crashed!!! We have a dedicated memory procedure for this MCAS event. If you do the memory procedure promptly, it’s really not a big deal. It sucks because it’s all manual trim, but it is manageable. As for...

The two MAX crashes that happened which resulted in the grounding of the airplane, I agree that if those issues happened in the US, those airplanes probably don’t crash. The experience of US pilots is far higher than most international pilots. But they did happen…. Boeing put a system on the...

Boeing’s issues are a result of allowing the Douglas culture takeover the company when the merger occurred. Douglas’ culture was about stock prices and stakeholders. Not about engineering and excellence. Boeing was an engineering company that built airplanes. Douglas had numerous issues with...

My 338 Win Mag has more (at least 400-500) more ft lbs of energy than that load. A 45/70 Govt is just dumb against an animal that takes rounds from true DG calibers, and keeps coming after you!!!

I’m in charge of navigating high speed aluminum tubing.

For most countries in Africa there is the 9.3mm/.375 minimum caliber for DG. That is a regulation and not up for negotiation. I’ve heard that PHs where that limitation doesn’t exist they have a similar limit for their clients. 2500 ft lbs of muzzle energy is inadequate for DG. My 7mm Mag has...

I just put a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6 (circle crosshair reticle) on my 416 Rem. They are very durable.
