RECCE ROOM

Libtards freak out because a man has two hundred rounds of ammo in his possession. My chest rig holds seven mags. Each magazine has 30 rounds. That's 210 rounds in my chest rig alone. My rifle has another magazine - 30 rounds. My daypack has another 60 rounds. So my SHTF loadout is over 300 rounds, and yet these Liberals are freaking out over only 200.

This past week, I took my family to the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, FL. The Space Center was fantastic. It had all sorts of information and really interesting exhibits. At one point, we were watching some documentary film about the launching of the Apollo Moon missions. The film LED in with images of the 1960's in America. Not only of the space program, but of some of the other events of the period - including the marches for "women's rights." It was not lost on me or my family that while women in the 1960's were marching for women's rights (which they already had), men were busy putting other men on the moon. My son said that it reminded him of the #feminists of today - totally irrelevant, and marching for rights they already have.

Why are so many Libertarians also Gammas ? Perhaps we should reword the question - why are so many Gammas also Libertarians? Example 1 - See this social media post from a Gamma Libertarian. Wow.. Trump is now blaming Obama for the Russian meddling in the election. This is the equivalent of a rapist blaming a victim, telling them, you knew I wanted to rape you, why didn't you stop me.  Trump needs to resign for the good of America. So much virtue signaling, it could be a virtue lighthouse. Example 2 - Enter Gamma #2 - "Tax all at a fair flat rate. Except married couples. That's fair." - Republicans "Everyone is equal. Unless you work; pay more. That's fair and equal." - Libs "Everyone is free. Except homosexuals; don't let 'em marry because Jesus." - Conservs Not ironically, you'll notice two attacks at conservatives,  and one at liberals. Again, Virtue Signaling. And they let you see that in their innermost being, they ...

So, your author can shoot the Marksmanship Evaluation fairly well. But, in the spirit of pushing limits and seeing how accurate I actually am, I devised a plan. I set the 25 m US Army zero targets up at 100 meters. Simple math tells us that these targets appeared to be the same scale as a 1200 m target. I fired a group with my 4-14x Primary Arms scope, took it off, fired another group with my ACOG, took it off and fired a final group with the Primary Arms scope again. Also being tested was the LaRue mounts' abilities to return to zero. 9 for 9.

It was time to practice the Marksmanship Evaluation. Two US Army zero targets are placed at 25 m. 5 rounds are fired at each target. There is a 90 second time limit. Shots in the black score 4 points. Shots in the circle score 5 points. If more than 5 shots find their way onto a target, the lowest 5 scores are used. 0 - 28 points: does not qualify. 29 - 38 points: Marksman 39 - 44 points: Sharpshooter 45 - 50 points: Expert Rifleman I used three different types of ammo. Here are the results - The results speak for themselves. Take the evaluation. Tell me how you did. I'll post your picture!

How you load your ammo when performing a precision evaluation is important. You do not wish to simply load up a magazine and blast 10 rounds down range. That will heat the barrel and yield inaccurate results. A common method is to single load rounds and allow the barrel to cool for 60 seconds between shots. This is the method that the author uses. But, during a recent range trip, the author witnessed an individual doing this by placing the cartridge on top of the magazine. This can lead to the bullet itself becoming disfigured upon entry into the chamber. Standard practice is to load the cartridge into the magazine, and put the magazine into the rifle as the barrel cools. But how much does attention to this one detail matter? The author set out to discover the answer to this question. Using known ammo, a 10 round group was fired from 100 yards. New cartridges were placed on top of the magazine, instead of loaded into the magazine.  The bolt was sent home each time. Ammo used was...

How does different ammo affect your point of impact (POI)? Aiming at the dead center of the target from 50 yards, a 5 shot group was fired, using four common ammo types. Hornady 75 grain Black, Hornady 55 gr FMJ, Federal American Eagle 55 gr Black Box, and Federal American Eagle 55 gr Green Box were fired, in that sequence. As you can see, the 55 grain ammo had a slight downward shift in POI. Otherwise, it was more than accurate enough.
