I don’t see the utility of including incarcerated people in the unemployment figure. That’s the point. They are in time out. They cannot work. I think comparing the ratio of unemployed and incarcerated could be interesting.

I’m very impressed with the Tikka T3x. I don’t understand how they are getting this much performance out the door for as little as they cost. I was shooting sub minute out to almost a 140 yards today. Good barrels, nice triggers, decent mags. I need an adjustable cheek piece to shoot my best with them but there are lots of ways to solve that problem.
I’m a fan of the 308’s versatility but the 6.5 Creedmoor is growing on me.

Awesome. What things are you wanting to do with your bolt gun?

2024-06-16 07:30:17

Back to making ammo. I’m getting started on resizing my 1x fired brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Thinking back, I wish I had annealed all the brass before starting. It behaves very differently and better after annealing it.
For bolt guns I full length size with an S-Type die. I’m shooting for 0.004” headspace and using the Redding competition shell holders. They are staged in 0.002” increments and really speed up both finding the right headspace and setting up the press for consistent headspace between batches. You can do this without but competition shell holders are way faster and I’m glad I spent the money on them. Next step is trimming.

I think that is his point but he sense to be making it by saying the population in question commit more crime.
The fact is, they do but “color” is incidental. Poverty is a better predictor of criminal activity. There may be an intentional dimension to the oppression of the poor but I see other factors with greater explanatory power in accounting for disproportionate law enforcement contact.

2024-06-07 21:11:45

I wet tumbled my brass using a Harbor Freight rock polisher, triangular media with dish soap and citric acid (just a good pinch). I tumbled the brass for an hour. The chip media is a lot more aggressive than the pins and cleans quickly and over tumbling is a thing. I dump the brass/media into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse. I then dump it into the media separator (Frankford Arsenal) which is the blue thing in the five gallon bucket which I have filled with warm water and armor all wash and wax (very cheap soap). After I separate the media out I dump the brass back in the strainer and rinse them off. Then I put them on a towel in the oven to dry off.
What questions do you have about this process and our equipment? How would you do it?

Right on! For high volume loading I think that makes lots of sense. For precision-type loads with this many steps I figure I will find the pins. I also use the tumbling chips I heard about from Jerry Miculek. They seem to come out well.

Decapped my 1x fired brass. I’m using an old “The Precision Reloader” press and a Lee universal decapping die. Depriming brass is dirty and leaves carbon debris on the press (I’ll post a picture below). I’d rather not have an abrasive like that getting caught up in the ram of my nice press so I keep dirty work on my The Precision. Next step is cleaning the brass. I know some f-class shooters don’t but I’m not introducing variables/new practices while I’m working up a load.
What are your thoughts on depriming and cleaning, especially for hunting and precision?

I'm going to be hunting in very different conditions than I will be developing my loads and practicing. How much do these variables matter at max range?
TLDR - Not much.
The load will be 6.5 Creedmoor - N555 powder and 143 gr ELD-X bullets
In the picture you see a measured plot of the impacts if I use the dope for my home conditions (Labeled as A) in different conditions out at 400 yards (a long shot in the field). I wanted to see how much each variable changed my point of impact (POI). The circle is 4" (just under a minute at 400 yards) and represents the best case scenario for my precision in perfect conditions. This means anything inside the circle is a smaller variable than I am.
My next study will be on how these changes impact wind calls.
Below are the conditions each letter represents and an explanation of why I chose them.
A – 2550 FPS; 59 F; 300’
This is fairly representative of my load development and practice environment.
B – 2550 FPS; 59F; 3750’
This is roughly the elevation I will be hunting at. It will probably be substantially colder when I hunt there but I'm testing extremes.
C – 2550 FPS; 10F; 3750’
This is both the elevation and the coldest it will likely get on my hunt. Interestingly, the cold cuts the error from the elevation change in half.
D – 2450 FPS; 10F; 3750’
Then I wondered how different the drop would be if the cold took a lot of steam out of my muzzle velocity so I dropped the MV by 100 FPS and this didn't even drop my POI 4 inches at 400 yards!
I'm using N555 powder which is supposed to be very temperature stable so I think this is much more than I should expect. Let me know if you have any firsthand knowledge (or second or thirdhand for that matter) about this.

Doing recon for a new hunting load. I can’t develop the load in the temps I’ll be hunting so I’m using the most temperature stable powder I can find. Triple nickel (N555 from Vihtavuori) is the most stable I know of across temps. It also is very popular with top level f-class shooters. VV claims it was developed for 6.5 creed so I’m hopeful I will not just maximize velocity and consistency but temp stability as well. What are your favorite powders for extreme temperature spreads?

This is what Copilot suggested:
Certainly! If you’re interested in offline AI tools, there are several options available that operate locally on your device without requiring a continuous internet connection. Let me introduce a few:
1. Freedom GPT: Freedom GPT is an open-source AI chat interface that can run locally on your own device. Similar to ChatGPT, it can generate text, translate languages, and answer questions. The key difference is that Freedom GPT ensures your conversations and inputs stay within your computer, providing privacy. It leverages Stanford’s Alpaca models and features a simple chat-based interface. Keep in mind that it’s not as powerful as ChatGPT due to memory limitations on personal computers1.
2. Offline AI Assistant Apps:
• Google Assistant: While Google Assistant primarily relies on the internet, some features work offline, such as setting alarms or sending texts.
• Robin: Robin offers voice-based navigation and local search even without an internet connection.
• Hound: Hound is a voice assistant that can handle complex queries offline.
• Siri: Apple’s Siri can perform certain tasks offline, like setting reminders or sending messages.
• Cortana: Microsoft’s Cortana has offline capabilities for basic tasks.
• Dragon Mobile Assistant: Dragon supports voice commands offline.
• Bestee Offline Virtual Assistant: Bestee provides offline voice assistance for various tasks2.
3. Quantized LLMs: These are locally loaded language models (LLMs) that you can use without an internet connection. They’re available on platforms like HuggingFace, H20, Text Gen, and GPT4All. These LLMs offer flexibility and security, making them a great choice for various applications3.
Remember to choose the one that best suits your needs and enjoy the benefits of offline AI! 🤖🌟
