Its a modernized SST, so you should expect about the same type of terminal performance. Great bullet, super high BC and a wide velocity window for good terminal performance.

The cartel would dissolve in the face of the US military. If they chose to stand and fight, maybe 4 weeks tops. That’s what needs to happen.

"The Cartel" isnt a uniformed state funded military. Its an economy. You cant kill it or disband it in that sense.

As long as drugs are illegal and people want them, "the cartel" will exist. Names and locations will change, but it will exist. Being an economy built on illegal activities, it will always be filled with bad people.

The only way you kill it is make their products legal (they couldnt compete with wal mart) or make people not want drugs (lol).

re: Need a riding mower that can handle tall grass and doesn't get stuck in armadillo holes

The problem is the things needed to mow a lawn and the things needed to chop up shite are two way different things. One needs high blade speed with no tolerance for impacts and the other needs inertia and torque. No lawn mower that im aware of has any give anywhere except for belt slip. They have no inertia to speak of. Brush cutters have pivoting blades, tons of intertia, clutches or shear pins, a very low gear ratio and rear discharge. You can get a lawn mower with sharp blades and a assload of horsepower rear discharge and a few extra belts and make it through if you want to bad enough.

I know its not the answer you want, but youre gonna need to gst that shite outta the way and bush hog it

No conventional lawn mower is made for bush hogging. Two totally different applications. Any badass zero turn has the horsepower but they are built for high blade speed, high vacuum and a clean cut. Bush hogs are made with a shitload of inertia, stump jumpers, folding blades etc. If youre gonna be bush hogging, you need a bush hog.

This is likely the case.

Its a great opportunity to discipline their dog for them and observe the following bitchy looks you get when their dog decides it likes you more than it's owner.

taught my boys gun safety at a very young age through hunting and shooting range.

As soon as my boy could walk he was learning the basics. The day he fussed at somebody for not checking if their gun was unloaded was a happy day.

Even if your kids are educated saints of gun safety, other people's kids probably arent. Having non-secured guns in the house is just an all around bad idea. There are cheap readily available quick access lock boxes out there now for every situation yiu could ever conceive.

An Amazon Basics pistol case is about $10 and all you need to have quick and easy locked storage for a pistol.

These kinds of stories are heart breaking and a lot of people are far too careless with firearms. Loaded guns must be either locked away or directly attached to you, absolutely no exceptions whatsoever.

Good aquifer water, and closer to the consumer.

They can be cooled with closed loop cooling which will work basically anywhere on earth but its expensive. States allow these companies to use aquifer water to cool their shite which is cheap and easy to do but consumes massive amounts of ground water
