The .270 Winchester isn’t a military cartridge, and nobody ever claimed it was a target cartridge; it is a straightforward hunting cartridge. During the past 50 years, I’ve hunted quite a bit carrying a .270 Win. rifle, and, to tell the truth, no cartridges have come along that significantly better it for hunting. Since it’s such a popular hunting cartridge, every brand and style of bullet is available for handloading the .270 Win. If you want to handload single-metal copper-alloy bullets, Hornady sells its CX, Barnes its Tipped Triple Shock and Hammer Bullets its Hunter. If shooting past the curvature…
The US dollar banking system is in the midst of a bank run by the measures that I will illustrate here. Since the 1879 gold standard was established in America, the US dollar could be directly redeemed for gold within the banking system.

The Gnome sipped on some nocino while glaring at an old map splayed across his kitchen table.

He’d won the map in a game of throwing bones off a man who promised it led to a patch of morels as big as The Gnome himself. He was fairly certain the map was a mockery—why else would someone give away this kind of information in a game of luck?And yet, the Gnome was captivated by the markings on the old parchment.…

Research released on March 31 by the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF) found there are possibly 73 million people outside the traditional white male demographic who—despite having never tried target shooting before—have a strong interest in doing so. The number is significant, particularly considering the record-breaking growth in firearm ownership already experienced among these audiences in 2020. Questions in the study were tailored to identify reasons for hesitancy among non-participants. Researchers found that 61 percent of African-Americans rated their interest in visiting a range and getting behind a trigger at least four in a rating system that topped out at…

On May 28, 1937, the famed Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was opened to vehicular traffic. JWR’s Comments: Originally, the toll was 50 cents each way, or $1 for a round trip, with a 5-cent surcharge for any car with more than three passengers.

Assuming 260 working days in a calendar year, that would equate to a bridge toll expense of $2,535 per year, for a Golden Gate Bridge commuter with a transponder! By the way, additional incremental toll increases have already…
