    I cannot post it here or I have a feeling the ban sledgehammer would come out, but if you are not easily offended, have a warped, even dark, sense of humor, and have been in the military (particularly the Army) google "213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the U.S. Army."

    If you are easily offended, do not have a warped, dark sense of humor, DON'T! But it does beg the question, why are you on this thread to begin with?

     

    You've been warned.

    I've read those, very funny, which shows the sense of humor I have.

    as to the 7mm Rem MAG . ain't got much use for one 

     

      the 6,5x55 that I am looking at pretty hard , getting a want for one 

     

     another ctg , that is of interest , is the 6,5x50 Jap , looks to be very efficient

    6.5 x 50 Japanese isn't particularity available or cheap to shoot and as far as I know was never chambered in rifle then the Japanese Type 38 service rifle.

     

    6.5 Creedmoor will do most, if not all, of what the 6.5 x 55 does.  Not trying to toot the horn of the 6.5 Creedmoor, but there seem to be a lot more options for that caliber when it comes to rifles, loaded ammo and components.

  3. I own a couple of 6.5x55, but haven't shot them in a while.  I am a big fan of the 6.5X55 for accuracy, mild recoil and good ballistics.  The 6.5 Creedmoor comes close to duplicating the 6.5x55 in a shorter (.308 length) action at slightly higher pressures.

    One of our Firelands Peacemakers used one.
    Didn't hear it so much as felt it.
    BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM ...

     

    The bark is much worse than the bite.  Between the weight of the gun, about 12 pounds and the slower recoil impulse of black powder, it more of a very firm shove.  

    The concussion isn't like anything else I've encountered and the best place for the RO is directly behind the shooter. 

     

    It's even more fun if you shoot the 10 from inside a building or enclosed space.  :D

    In wrongful convictions I think that the prosecutor, and in this case the officers who made up the Court,  should be, at minimum,  stripped of all pension and benefits. If those officers are still in, they should be reduced in grade to E-1.

     

    If intentional I would agree, but not if they made the decision in good faith based on what they knew at the time.

  6. The Norden bomb sight worked great in trials and I agree it was a major technological advance.  Of course it was being operated by well trained people who weren't being shot at.

     

    During war time, accuracy went down significantly due to young, rapidly trained men, flak bursts and enemy fighters.  US daylight "precision" bombing wasn't a whole lot better then the British nighttime area bombing.

  7. I got to fire a 25 round belt of training rounds through the MK-19 for familiarization purposes during MP School, that was fun.

     

    It was always a bad sign when the drill sergeants mostly stopped yelling and were almost polite.  They were that way for live grenade training.  The sandbagged pit,  pockmarked wall and flak vests.  I did not enjoy grenade training
