And a 6.5 from the East German judge.

I guess to me, it's about the Venn Diagram. The overlap in the 8X63 is so close with the 7,62X63, I'd rather move up to something a little larger. I certainly understand the re-chambering when there was a lack of ammo. My metrical rifles are simple: I have a 6.5X54, and a 9.5X57. Neither are...

OK, so I get there would be an "improvement" over the 7.62mm. But if I were going to do that, why not just bump it to a .35 Whelen? I mean, if I were filling out a battery, I'd probably go .25-06, then .30-06, then .35 Whelen. That covers North America. Bigger than that, .375 H&H. I mean...

OK, I'll ask out of simple ignorance: 8mmX63mm vice 7.62X63mm? A difference of 0.38mm diameter in the same case size? How different would that really be?

Those should work on an M1903. I've actually been able to load Springfield clips, but with a scope attached, you cannot, so I don't bother. I just load one by one, and download using the button on the side of the rotary magazine.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I believe it was a 6-3 decision. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/supreme-court-rejects-trumps-bid-to-curtail-birthright-citizenship-bf386c17?st=udKyg8&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Re: the 2nd, agreed. I'm merely pointing out the argument used, and...

I want to say up front that I completely understand the recent Court decision on citizenship. I don't know how anyone would be surprised by the decision. But here's the thing: I frequently hear opponents of the Second Amendment argue "But the people who wrote that were thinking of muskets...

You do understand the difference between those things and an international strait, right?

Comedy? And here I thought it was a documentary...

Could you describe the ruckus?

Well, I for one am sick and tired of hearing about "non-combat arms MOS..." As if guys in the combat trains never saw an IED. Or no one ever shot at a maintenance contact team. Or flight line people never heard a jet engine. Or guys on the deck of a carrier, or doing an UNREP were not...

OK, I can answer that one, just based on experience. When I enlisted, way back in the Reagan Administration, the only people who applied for benefits were those that were truly down hard. Something catastrophic happened, and they might apply. The rest of us just "sucked it up". It wasn't...

Well, I see a Navy Commendation Medal, what I think is an Air Force Commendation Medal, three Navy Achievement Medals, at least one of which has a V device for Valor, two Combat Action Ribbons, two Joint Meritorious Unit Awards, three Navy Unit Citations, four Marine Unit Citations, seven Good...

Was looking all over for one of my Mannlicher ones... and realized it's where it belongs, in the chamber of the rifle where I left it after I used it to release the firing pin for storage. But I came across this one in .30-06, and realized it's a good representation.

I would just like to point out that many people here would be much calmer if they'd use the "Ignore" button. To really make it work, you also should also refrain on clicking the link marked "You are ignoring content by this member. Show ignored content." Lowered my blood pressure a bunch...
