    I saw a pair of geese on my way into work and it unlocked an old memory about a story my 6th grade English teacher read us on Valentines Day about a swan that cut his webbed feet with a razor blade so he could play the trumpet/saxaphone to woo his sweetheart. I told the basic plot to my son who...

    Better than the original trilogy. Enjoyed it. Now I need something new.

    Barnes now loading 280ai ammo? 152g LRX

    Tried them out this afternoon. 8 shot group just over an inch. I'll take that. Bought another couple boxes. Load development done! :LOL: (I have a really good handload with 143gr HH's as well.) Having only one rifle would be weird, and no fun, but if so I think the 280 AI would be it for me.

    Garmin Chronograph?

    I think you're right. I bet I changed it to 0-1700 thinking it was going like a 22lr, when it's actually coming out at 2400fps. I will try it again soon and make sure I have that correct setting and see what happens.

    Garmin Chronograph?

    Tried it last weekend. Only thing it didn’t register was my 17hmr for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Otherwise 11/10. 👍

    What's your side hustle?

    Only Fans. When I first signed up here, I was pretty bummed that “el unit” was already taken.

    Barnes now loading 280ai ammo? 152g LRX

    Graf’s has them in stock as of now. I bought a box to see how they shoot and if they stabilize in my 1:9 (800’ elevation). Strange that you can’t buy the 152gr LRX bullet as a component. Would hand roll if so.

    Airport Executive Raided and Killed By Feds

    This is kinda his modus operandi. Every couple weeks a link, no additional personal insights or opinions, well-reasoned or otherwise. … It’s not just greenhorn. 😂

    Pay it Forward

    If you have a Glock 10mm/.45 with MOS and are looking to put a reflex sight on it, I have an adapter kit free to good home. I took plate #8, but the other three are still there. See compatibility below.

    The End

    Greenhorn, you dumpster fire lighting sob. Your penance/karma for this thread should be for you to lead a weekend in-person listening and reconciliation workshop for all the top posters. And do it sober.

    Decent. The ad for the TV spinoff playing nonstop on all the various Meateater podcasts kill me. “You may remember him as the smoldering brother on …” 😂 I don’t think their marketing team gave much thought to matching the pitch to the demographic.

    Calibres you'd like to own

    I shot both my 22-250 and 17hmr yesterday. Love both of them. I think the 17hmr is one of the best plinking/practice rimfire rounds there is. Great accuracy (if no wind) and ballistics 200 and under, great for developing good shooting habits. Buy a 3” gong, turn the scope power all the way down...

    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    280AI. 143gr Hammer Hunter @ 3060fps. Or .50cal muzzie with 300gr Barnes Expander. Or 175gr Grizzly Stick Samurai Single Bevel. The tag gods will decide.
