    Hornady DVRT - thoughts, implications for terminal performance?

    I think you are correct. Looks like since 2018. Patent was issued, so now they are saying what they did as it can’t be copied.

    Suppressor wait times

    There is not any rhyme or reason to how fast it takes. My first was actually a second submission that the dealer gave up their sot. Pushed through in 2 weeks when 9+ months was normal. Second was right at 9 months even though the submission was months before the submission on my first first...

    Suppressor wait times

    Trusts are a little faster. My last one was 5 months, approved last week. They are not batching trusts and getting my senator involved may have helped, but not immediately.

    Twist rate effects on terminal ballistics

    While I am no expert, it seems there are a couple of physical limits based on current technology that limit the range of bullet rpm. To stabilize heavy for caliber, high BC bullets, you have to be pretty fast twist/ high rpm. There is a limit for rpm when using lead core. Seems to be between...

    huxwex flow ti can

    Actually it makes sense on an AR style gun. The best cans are not quite hearing safe at the shooters ear. If the can is quiet at the muzzle it will push gas back to the bolt and noise level at the shooters ear ends up higher. Data from the suppressor summit shows this. Muzzle might be 20 db...

    Cooking knives

    I have a set of Henkels I bought 30+ years ago. Still going strong. I have added a few globals. I like the global for vegetables, a little thinner than the Henkel. I recently added a Dalstrong slicer. Been pretty happy with it as well. I had a set of pairing knives from cutco, worked well...

    Suppressors weight vs sound reduction help

    Here is my $.02, I have 4 cans, they range from 8.5 oz to 21 oz on various length rifles. The 21oz can is too heavy on a 20” single shot rifle, same setup in K configuration at 7” long and 16 oz was ok. That extra 5 oz was a deal breaker. That can is going on a 14” sbr next year in full...

    Joke is on me.. won’t be booking with American Airlines anymore

    My last flight through dfw on AA resulted in a overnight delay. I was lucky some people on our flight were delayed 2 days. No comped hotel either. We did get hotel and cab vouchers, wasn’t a big deal only got home 18 hrs later. I learned out local airport closes at midnight. Don’t want to...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    My parents and my wife’s parents were both married for shorter times that we have been married. Although both my parents had second relationships that went a long time.

    WTB AB Raptor 6.5mm End Cap

    They won’t sell a reflex by itself either. Seems as it’s a part of a silencer, the ATF considers it a silencer. Dumb as it has no way to trace them. They don’t have serial numbers and it’s not recorded on the form 4.

    TSS = Bang Flop

    I have reviewed pheasants that I took with 9.5 TSS. I recovered 2 pellets. Both were under the skin on the exit side. It left tiny little holes in the bones. Went right through them. Very lethal, but lacked the size to break bones and cause a bird to crumple in flight. I shot #7 against a...

    gun safes

    Zanotti armory, made in USA and can be assembled in place. While not fire rated, I know someone who had one and it protected the guns and documents inside. Turned out to be the safe that was being dropped off for refurbishment on the day I picked mine up. Only later did I find out that safe...

    AB raptor 4 stack vs 6 stack

    It’s basically the same can, but in stainless. One baffle less to make it lighter. The 556 is a 5 stack and the 7.62 is a 7 stack. Also half the $$. I have a 7 stack on the way to try for my AR’s.

    Eating CWD

    Probably lots. If you use a locker I can almost 100% guarantee that it has cwd in it. That means anything processed in the locker may be contaminated. The prions don’t go away and can’t really be removed. The lockers around here do not segregate each deer, nor do they test them. Only way...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    Wow, guess I am really old as I had graduated high school and was almost done with college by then. Btw found a good woman, not a 10, but good looking, can ride a motorcycle fast, shoot a gun. Been married 27 years and would do it again.

    AB raptor 4 stack vs 6 stack

    Reflex is more weight and less db reduction than 2 baffles. If quieter is desired, go more baffles. The reflex is just a bonus reduction for range days. I have a 10 stack and it works well. Waiting on a 7 stack (a-10) to compare. So frustrating, have 6 cans in jail and seeing super quick...

    Bulk spices

    I have always had good luck with frontier herbs. We always got them from our local coop, good quality and reasonable prices. I have been using their stuff for 30+ years. I mostly use the dried garlic and onion flakes along with chili powder. https://www.frontiercoop.com/

    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    If you use a ffl for transfers, this rule has no effect on you. It’s to prevent people from buying and selling without using a ffl and thus avoiding a 4473 as a registry. As I read it, I can take say 20 guns from my collection and go to a singe gun show and sell them with no ffl. I did not...

    Listened to Rogan today about the lunar landing…. What does Rokslide think?

    The landers are still there and at this point it would be easy to prove if it had not happened. Too many countries would love to show up the USA if possible. Imagine if China could prove it never happened? Also they left a reflector on the moon so they could measure it’s distance from...
