Specs I saw said .277. Basically a 270 wsm that should be able to run in an ar10 platform.

Definitely too much left to discretion of "unbiased" officials. I have seen on rare occasion where an offensive player, ball carrier, was called for unsportsmanlike conduct or like call for grabbing a defenders mask where it was too blatant to ignore. But agreed, when using the helmet as a weapon on either side it should be called and rarely is when it is the offensive player, same goes for jerking the mask. For the most part I quit watching football until the end of the season due to the disrespect by so many players. Even with the playoffs and superbowl unless there is a team I used to like, my interest is not what it once was.

Good advice. Had not considered giving feedback to the insurance on providers.

Wonder if Bob's rifle qualifies for membership to the exclusive otpg. lol

This may very well lead to more spread. People who get the vaccine thinking they are good to visit others while being a carrier. Sadly the cdc doesn't even know the efficacy or answers to these questions.

You are right Dave. Good to question the people you trust for your care. I have a few I trust, had to make some changes. Good informational post.

He looked scarred a little in a couple spots but there weren't any open wounds. There were 5 does out ahead of him, they did not seem to think he was boyfriend material. lol. He did try to follow them though.

I go with a list every time. Next time I go in late January I will just hand him or the nurse my list. One thing I really liked about the doctor I switched to is that he has meetings or conferences every week with other doctors to discuss cases. He told me the names of the doctors at Vanderbilt he is sending me to for heart cath and said he will talk with them as well as cardiologists and surgeons at mayo clinic. Big part of what I am not overthinking. Doing my research, but not getting myself worried over it. I am not quite there yet, but I know aortic stenosis at severe stage has a very poor prognosis if not treated. This doctor I am seeing now, unlike my last one, seems more aggressive than the lets just watch and wait approach. Confidence in md's need a new thread. lol. Sorry for derailing this one a little of track. India supposedly now has 4 approved vaccines. Kind of interesting how these vaccines that our government says came from operation warp speed are being given in other places before here.

Last pair of rocky boots I had were waterproof snake boots. They were not so waterproof, made several attempts to contact rocky and never could get anywhere.

There is stenosis of my aortic valve, my reports all show my mitral valve is grossly normal. The transcatheter valve replacement procedure was just recently approved for bicuspid valves. Won't know if I am a candidate for that until after I go to Vanderbilt. Thank you for the explanations of how the drugs work, Dave. I try not to overthink this stuff too much. fwiw In November 2020 I made a change from the cardiology group I had been going to, that is the same group that told me that the carvedilol makes the heart pump stronger. I did kind of wonder how bp could drop but yield stronger pumping. New cardiologist is foreign but seems much more thorough and credible. By the time I am eligible to take the vaccine maybe there will be more confidence in it. Still don't know that I would take it. Not that we have any choice, but if you had the choice and had to take one or another, which vaccine would you take? The astrazeneca was given approval in India.

We discussed changing back to a toprolol to try to put less strain on the root, but that increases strain to the heart. Blood pressure on Metoprolol was a lot more erratic. The aortic valve on imaging was at 1.2 cm. It is bicuspid. The way I understand how carvedilol works, it increases how strong the heart beats while also lowering heart rate. More blood moved with each beat, higher pressures. That pressure is forcing the valve to open more than it naturally would if not medicated. He thinks off medicine the valve would be closer to .9. Time for replacement of the valve is typically at 1 cm and under. It made sense to me the way he explained it. Not in heart failure yet, but yes I stay fatigued. As far as the vaccine, I am in agreement with you. I would prefer not to take it. But at some point have a feeling I won't have a choice. Can hospitals make patients that will have to have a procedure done take the vaccine before admitting them. Not far fetched to think the harris biden admin will push to make everyone take it eventually. The cdc on their site last I looked had all cardio problems on one line. The way I understood to meet their criteria as a person with high risk you had to meet criteria from two or more of the lines on the list. About as clear as mud. Will just keep doing virtual learning with our son and hope Catrina can avoid getting it.

Here is the short clip https://youtu.be/szjmlS7Hhfs . Season closes tomorrow afternoon. No guarantees I see him again. After seeing the clip what do you think?

Well the little 5 is still alive and got a much better look at his shoulder this morning. He seems to be getting around a little better but has probably lost some weight. Shot a video of him I will try to upload somewhere, but not sure where I can upload to? My photobucket account is held hostage, won't pay their fees. Don't have a yotube account anymore. Suggestions anyone?

They are not forcing her to take it. She said that most nursing homes in this area are using pharmacies like walgreens to administer the vaccine. I would hope they do it right, but who knows. With my heart situation declining a little faster than I expected and knowing I am likely looking at time in the hospital before covid is under control I am at a bit of a dilemma. Go back to my cardiologist in January to setup heart cath of both sides of my heart to be done at Vanderbilt. Read that more than 1/3 of the patients at the local hospital now are covid patients. They ran out of vents. So major concerns of exposure risks at hospitals. Cardiologist thinks the carvedilol I am on is fudging the imaging results from echo and ct. Kinda sobering when lv ejection fraction has gone from 63 July 2019 to 50 back in early December 2020. Root aneurysm has grown in the same time from 4.4 to 5 cm. With all that being said, I am not eligible until March. By then age group 55-65 are eligible, I will be 52 this year. Seems there is little preferential towards cardio comorbidities when looking at the cdc guidelines and this states plans for distribution. Strange to me since cardio and pulmonary are the primary places this virus is attacking that is fatal. But what should we expect from a cdc run by idiots like Robert Redfield....

So how close is this going to be to the 270 wsm?

Thanks for sharing Dave. So, have you got yours? Still on the fence here, Catrina says she will probably take it. Her building gets it next week. My cardiologist recommended getting it. Saw a story earlier today that 240 Israelis that had first dose of the pfizer vaccine had contracted covid.

That is interesting. Looks like they got saami approval in November. A 175 grain projectile at 2800+ fps.

Don't know Dave. I have not yet, but I am looking into trying to increase my target ranges. I know it is not popular with some, but I bit on the 6.5 creedmoor hype, and built one in an ar10 platform. Worked up some loads with hornady eld x bullets and getting very impressive accuracy. Hoping to try it at 300 yards, about the farthest distance I can stretch out to on my property. I like shooting, I really like shooting accurately from a gun I built with ammunition I handloaded. I have a 308 I built as well, will be fun comparing. Only downside is the reality that I may need to be conservative with my shooting since components have become near impossible to find.

Imagine there is a target group that would go for a 6.5 short mag. Could fit it in an ar10 platform and achieve 3000+ fps with 140+ grain projectiles while taking advantage of the high bc .264 bullets. Would this end up a barrel burner though?

I had heard mention of 6.5 wsm in the past somewhere, guess some are building wildcats?

As I understand it, has to do with the high bc bullet selections. Didn't winchester already try a 6.5 short mag?

Looks like a short fat. Don is probably right.

Oh well, cannot change it now, but probably should have shot him. Have not seen him again, and had zero pics of the deer on cameras. Mother nature is much more cruel than we are. Seeing a lot of buzzards circling low today. Saw just one little healthy buck over the weekend.

Sure free is free, but I would not buy Rocky brand boots ever again. Too many other companies with halfway decent customer service.

Coyotes just after dark last night were very vocal just off our line in the bottom, not too far off from where I last saw the little buck.
