Most Difficult

Curious that we’re seeing a definite shift in the way […]
Flying with Guns
21 May 19 “Every bit of learning is a little death. Every bit of new information challenges a previous conception, forcing it to dissolve into chaos.” Jordan Peterson I flew (SWA) from PDX (Portland, OR) to DEN last week, with my usual complement of gear. In my Eagle Creek roller-duffel, I have my copy of […]

308 and 7.62×51
7 May 19 308 and 7.62×51 As most of us know, 5.56×45 is the “militarized” version of the civilian 223 Rem varmint cartridge, developed by Remington in 1957.
