There are several pretty big/important ones around the heart - superior and inferior vena cava (this is the vein that feeds the heart de-oxygenated blood), pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, aorta - which would lead to rapid exsanguination.

That was another reason I went with Qatar - the AA points/miles. My only gripe about AA is often having to fly through DFW. In spite of everything since 9-11, I still actually like flying. Most of the time, it means I'm headed for an adventure of some sort, even if it's just seeing the...

We're flying Qatar next month on our way to JNB. The direct to Qatar from IAH is 14.5 hours, plus a 9 hour layover in Doha. For me, it was a no-brainer. I'm bringing the missus, so doing business class for 2 was just not in the budget. I'm 6'6" and she's 5'11". Upgrading to economy+ brought...

@Letzhunt - what other powders do you have? I use RL-7 exclusively for my 45-70. I've put RamShot XTerminator through my 45-70, I find it grain-for-grain the equal of RL-7. Both Hornady and Swift show loads for RL-7 from 350 gr up to 500 gr.

The Clintons treated their detail pretty badly as well.

Kevlar would have only mattered if an assailant was armed with a handgun. A rifle bullet fired at 2500 - 3000 fps would go through IIA armor like shit through a goose.

They should be glad the idiot used a "black gun." Any bolt action deer rifle would have been a better choice.

That's the diff between an amateur and somebody who knows what they're doing. Even with my target 308, 24" heavy and fluted BBL, 6-24x50 scope, I'm making a chest shot from 150 yards. "Making a statement" with a head shot is just stupid. Achieving my objective by producing a corpse is...

Varget, H4895, and N130 are all very close to TAC burn rate. Substituting TAC at equal charge weight for H4895 in GRT, I get nearly identical velocity. Woodleigh shows 2210 fps at 72 gr and 2350 fps at 77 grains with H4895 GRT shows 2208 fps at 72 gr, and 2355 fps at 77 gr. with TAC That...

Even with the crappy BC for most .224 bullets, from a130 yards and a 10 mph full value wind, there's only 1.5" - 2" of wind drift. Aim at the bridge of the nose, it still goes in the eye ball.

it does make them unwise, and poor students of history. From Silent Cal's Independence Day Speech, 1926 "About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new...

Schumer certainly makes it easy for a person to commit Fallacy of Composition errors.

Not a huge surprise. Look at the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky. That's what Marxist troglodytes do to each other.

He's going to almost single-handedly end DTS

This guy is hilarious. All the military folks pay attention.

I honestly don't know what to make of the polling. Nobody seems to be using polls to ascertain what is true, but rather to push a narrative. I don't think that's THE problem, but a glaring symptom of the problem.

After I handed Charlie my GRT data, to get the predicted in line with observed, he calculated a 0.2" jump, which shows 97.3% at 62.5 gr or 2000MR - calculated is about 20 fps slower ( 2455 fps) than observed (2475 fps) at that data point. Pressure is calculated at 55244 psi.

Norma, I'm away from my PC and GRT load data until next week. There is still a bit of room with the A Frames at 3.32, but the 258 gr Hammers at 3.3" are pretty close to needing a roll/taper crimp with the seater. Ball powders like 2000MR and Big Game seem to work better in a full case

With 62.5 gr of 2000MR and CCI LR, I'm getting about 2475 fps with 286 gr A Frames, COAL at 3.32. And even at that length, I still have about a 0.06 jump. 3.291 is the official max coal for 9.3x62. I own 2 - a Zastava Mauser and a Sauer 100. I get to 3.38 max coal for them both - measured...

Sundowner. My grandmother had it. She was fairly fine during the day, but once the sun started setting, her mental acuity changed rather dramatically. MBNA Joe's working hours, where he appears to be lucid, are about 1000 - 1600. The debate was at night. This is a real thing, and it's only...

They've either gotten a very broken grand jury system, or she isn't very good at her job. Either 13% of the people they were indicting for murder actually didn't do it (and had to go to great trouble/expense to get cleared), or she couldn't secure a conviction. Neither of those things speak...

Agreed, delusions of grandeur. She'll be completely forgotten by the next election cycle. I don't see her bowing out gracefully. If she knew what an idiot she looked like with that cackle, how off-putting it is even to her own supporters, she'd get a clue. But she hasn't gotten the clue yet...

that didn't take long

Another example of why I absolutely refuse to fly UA.

If you're taking a 300 yard poke with a 416/423/458, irrespective of solid vs soft, the only thing that matters once the bullet leaves the barrel is the ballistic coefficient. And unless the BC difference is greater than about .15 or .2, even the BC makes very little difference. Shooting...

OK, but other than regulating a double, what does 2400 get you (and are you really launching anything out of a double at 2400???) that 2200 doesn't? At DG distances, it certainly isn't a ballistic arc advantage. At 2200 fps MV, you're still around 2k fps at 100 yards, and around 3600 fpe with...

Having not yet hunted any DG, I don't understand the seeming love affair with goosing 400 or 500 gr bullets beyond about 2200 or 2250 fps.

Doubtful. It is, in fact, a functional flashlight. That it could be used as an edged weapon would be lost on nearly everyone.

I always have a compact, aluminum flashlight in my carry on. It even has a scalloped edge around the lens. Nobody has ever said anything to me about it. It is most ricky tick as much of a defensive weapon as it is a flashlight. I don't believe there's a plastic surgeon on earth who could...

@RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION no longer hunting for Norma 6.5x55, I just ordered some from you! Thank you, sir!!! A head's up for you, though. The Texas Sec State will start coming after you for not collecting sales tax. Totally stupid, IMO, but they consider your business to have domicile here if...

Blue Bell Rocky Road, Moolineum Madness, or Buttercrunch (think Butterfinger flavored ice cream).

9.3x62, 2 boxes of 25 will do the trick. And 404J. I have 100 Bertram, most of it unfired, but another 25 or 50 would be really nice.

RIP TK. :E Sad:

I'm sure they had to take his leg off just below the knee. He's red from his upper calf to his ankle - that's all infection.

NGL, I love beer, but it doesn't love me back. Gives me bitch teats and makes me fart a lot.

Every farmer/rancher on this thread has described what allowing hunters on their property entails.

The reality is that for working farms and ranches, the hogs are a big disruption. Bringing in hunters adds to the disruption, it doesn't reduce it. And there's some non-trivial liability to go along with the added disruption. Not allowing hunters on the farm/ranch is the least bad option...

I get what you're saying, I just don't think it's accurate to say we're detached. Marie Antoinette's famous "let them eat cake" is detached. The reality is that people like my own good self have been tireless apologists for limited government and honest money for decades. Whatever else may be...

Reactions to any chemicals follow a normal distribution (bell curve). There are the 95% who fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean who suffer mild to unpleasant reactions; then there are those in the bottom 2.5% who have no reaction; and those in the upper 2.5% who have bad reactions...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I want an OLD warrior who's earned a good death - horns worn down, missing half an ear, claw scars all over his back, teeth nearly worn down, a broken tail... Those are some nice-looking bulls, just not my cuppa.

I'd completely agree that most actors are utterly out of touch. They mostly get where they are by being narcissistic and self-absorbed, shameless self-promoters, in the 1st place. They never were in touch with the common man.

What in the AF.

Meh, I think you're underestimating the good men in this country who also happen to be high income earners. Most of us are where we are because we helped other people get what they want. I know more than a few people in the 300K+ income group, and with only 1 or 2 exceptions, they're all...
