That sort of talk seems crude; unrefined when it appears in text on this board, but for the President of the United States to address a campaign rally in this manner just seems puerile

I'm sure their lawyers will be taking their time trying to figure out the boundary terms of this decision, they still have until mid-October to appeal too.


Local gun store here had a post saying that they have been in talks with the ATF and they are thinking that they will indeed appeal the ruling.
Anyone else wish they’d caught the fig and showed him getting his rightful beat down?

So we went with a Nectar system. We got the dual adjustable bases and split king mattress. So far, I love it. The adjustable base is a must have.
We ended up spending around 4K total.



Have the exact same. We’ve had it for 2 yrs. Love it.

Upvote.
Was born in central TN and live in Memphis, TN now but moved out of state when I was 7. I moved to Memphis after college.

So, yes but not really.
I am now remembering why I didn’t like the 6.5 Staball.

Very inconsistent. I have a AutoTrickler and it’s stupid accurate. Every round was loaded with
30.98 or 31 gr of 6.5 staball.

My S/D was almost 30.

I will say that I did not sort the bullets nor the brass for weight but it really shouldn’t make that big of a difference considering powder was very exact.

Oh well, it’s still pretty danged accurate and my longest shots this winter will only be 250-300 yds though that probably won’t happen.
That’s for the tips TOTH. Sizing die is a full length die. Was using Lee lube and will be using imperial going forward.

It was just a one time thing. Won’t be doing it going forward as I have 22arc brass now. I was really being impatient and wanted to see about getting the dies set up.
I did shoot the gun on Friday and as having extraction issues. Accurate though.

Got home and the bolt didn’t have a washer on the extractor. Ordered some and will get that fixed. In the meantime, I took the BCG out of my Grendel and will use it.

I will definitely be annealing the brass as it produces such better consistency. Amp makes quick work of the process.

6.5 Grendel on an AR platform.


Such a good round for anything in the southeast.

I don’t know if my post was downvoted for the caliber or what. I’d guess some dumbasses who think you need a 300 win mag because they can’t shoot for shite.

An AR in 6.5 grendel would be a spectacular rifle for him. Adjustable stock that allows you to make it short for him and grows with you.

The 6.5 grendel is a great round for hunting in the southeast. The 6 ARC would be a good one as well. Same diameter as the .243.

But you mentioned something that I think is more important to you son than the caliber of rifle. A silencer. Absolutely make it a priority to have him one. An AR is crazy loud and even more so in the woods.

Take it from someone that has a constant ringing in their ears. It's very, very important. My son has shot very few rifles without a silencer and I can't say he's ever shot one when he wasn't wearing protection. He's 20 now.

Care to explain this???

The treasury mkt is a small portion of the bond market.
Non-treasury bonds price off of treasuries so yields in the rest of the market are higher.

However, most every market spreads to the treasuries are extremely tight. Tighter than they have been in years (actually decades).
