We take a quick look at 6mm Remington, aka .244 Remington, a true middle-weight heavy hitter of a cartridge.The 6mm Remington has exactly the same case dimensions as the .244 Remington. They differ only in the fact that the 6mm Remington is loaded with bullets of up to 100 grains, whereas the .244 Remington was never loaded with bullets of more than 90 grains. Ammunition marked .244 Remington can be fired in 6mm Remington chambers and vice versa. However, rifles marked .244 Remington will not always stabilize the 100-grain bullet. The difference between the two is that .244 rifles (if…

For years, officials, water managers, and politicians have watched Lake Mead slide lower and lower while pretending there was still plenty of time to figure it out. Now that game is ending.

A paratrooper with the 17th Airborne Division prepares to fire an M18…

There’s a saying in Formula One that a 15-cent screw can ruin a race just as fast as a blown motor. The little things matter, especially in a 13:1 compression engine spinning at 18,000 rpm. Guns don’t exactly run on gentle unicorn toots either; they’re an instrument of intense heat, pressure, and extreme acceleration in an area no bigger than a Pringles can. If your life depends on your firearm, or a major match is looming on the horizon, you’ll want to prep your gun just like any F1 pit crew would, and that means securing all those 15-cent screws…

Lake Mead just dropped to the lowest level ever recorded since Hoover Dam created the reservoir.Late Thursday into early Friday, the lake fell to roughly 1,040.5 feet above sea level, breaking the previous record low from 2022, according to Bureau of Reclamation data reported by ABC News. The Las Vegas Review-Journal tracked it as low as 1,040.46 feet.Government records disagree by a few tenths of a foot over exactly which number counts as the old record. Who cares. The reservoir is lower than it has ever been, and federal forecasts say it is going lower.Current projections have Lake Mead falling…
