re: I have a question about ballistics.

Correct... In a vacuum. You'll attempt to address that below...
Not exactly. Gravitational force has nothing to do with being in a vacuum. However, I think what you are trying to say is that if a heavier projectile were longer, it would have more horizontal cross sectional surface area than a shorter projectile and therefore more air resistance when dropped. This is true but also likely negligible in the equation during the milliseconds (or seconds if shooting a mile) of flight time.
How about this scenario…… if you shoot a bullet from a perfectly horizontal gun along flat ground, and you drop a bullet at the same time, they will hit the ground at the exact same moment, just not at the same place.
That’s why long range shooters attempt to reach the highest velocity possible while still maintaining accuracy. If your bullet reaches the target faster, it has less time to be affected by wind.

Really none! Well gosh dang.

You should go back and take that class again.
Yeah, maybe you should take science class again. Every object on earth accelerates when dropped at 9.81 m/s^2 or 32.2 ft/sec^2....bowling ball, playground ball, army tank, aircraft carrier, bag of feathers. The only thing that would reduce an object's time of fall (acceleration of fall) is air resistance (drag). So, if you drop two objects from a bridge with the same dimensions (say a 12 inch sphere), one weighs 1 lb., and the other weighs 100 lbs, they hit the ground at the same exact time.
I'd like to hear your explanation to disprove Newton's universal law of gravity.

If the 2 rounds had the same muzzle velocity the lighter bullet would be higher at a given distance generally.
Bullet weight has no affect on drop......like in science class.....drop a bowling ball and a rubber playground ball of the same size, and they hit the ground at the same time.
At equal muzzle velocities (MV's) in the same atmospheric conditions, the only variable on bullet drop is ballistics coefficient (BC). In general terms, most heavier bullets have higher BC's due to their longer, more aerodynamic shape, and they therefore will have less drop than a lighter projectile with a lower BC since they maintain speed better than a bullet with lower BC.
So, at equal muzzle velocities, the heavier bullet will generally have a higher POI at distance if it has a higher BC. The issue is that most factory-loaded cartridges with heavier projectiles will have a lower muzzle velocity than a lighter projectile, resulting in a lower POI for the heavy projectile. But this is not due to weight, rather due to lower MV.

There is no way to tell how your rifle/barrel will shoot different bullets (projectiles). At 100 yards, velocity difference between the 2 cartridges will not likely have a significant influence (there should be similar velocity loss at 100 yards, at least not enough to affect bullet drop), assuming they are both factory ammo loaded to achieve similar speed. However, barrel twist rate, barrel harmonics, etc. can result in a significant or minor shift in point of impact (POI). Also, if you are not cleaning the barrel between ammo types, the residual copper/fouling can affect the 1st or 2nd shot with the new ammo until the barrel develops the "new" fouling with the new projectile.
TLDR: There is no way to tell until you shoot both.

For a grinder, consider the LEM or MEAT dual-grind system. This eliminates having to grind the meat twice. You can also still single grind by just using the "stuffing plate' for the first grind stage.
Read the reviews on both. LEM dual-grind seemed to have better reviews.

Costco Baton Rouge boneless prime whole ribeye primals are $19.99/lb. This is the entire primal, not a 4-6 lb roast.
Ribeye roasts boneless (probably 4-6 lbs, I assume choice) are $16.99/lb according to the app.

Costco had prime for $21/lb yesterday.
Was this bone-in or bone-out? Some of the previous posted prices are likely bone-in and may not be prime.

You may want to consider some rock speakers, such as the Klipsch Rock Speaker They also have a grey/granite color.
Drive them using a Sonos AMP mounted in your media cabinet. It's nice to have everything on one system, so you may consider concolidating to Sonos or another brand in the future. You can group any/all zones/speakers on any Sonos system using the app. So, you could have a Sonos soundbar on your TV and have that TV sound sent to every speaker inside & outside your house.
Another option is to use your Klipsch amp and put a Sonos Port or similar inline. The key is if you want all your home speakers consolidated into one app, Sonos seems to work well, even though the app takes some getting used to. And they update the app every so often, so maybe they will eventually get it more user-friendly. Once you use the app for a day or two, it's fairly easy.

decided on the LEM #22
I recommend one of the LEM Dual Grind units. LEM Dual Grind
I have the #22, and you almost can't feed meat faster than it can grind. Dual grind eliminates having to grind in 2 sequential grinder plate stages..... grinding, catching in a meat lug, and then feeding it through the grinder again. You can also just "single grind" by placing the "stuffer plate" inline instead of a second grind plate.

Not sure how Wayne Jacobs does it. They may not use any curing method, I don't know. If they were not using nitrites 10 years ago, then I guarantee they have no curing agent (no nitrite nor celery).
From Jacob's (not Wayne Jacob's) website: "Contains Less than 1% Sodium Nitrite (to maintain freshness)" Jacob's
From Wayne Jacob's website: " All smoked items that we offer for shipping are fully cooked and are shelf stable, vacuum sealed, and not refrigerated for up to 10 days from the date of smoke." Wayne Jacob's
I would imagine Wayne Jacob's has some form of nitrite added.
quote:
there is no such thing as "no nitrates". The term means they don't add artificial nitrates. Meat has naturally ocurring nitrate. In addition, they can use celery juice/powder (or something similar) as a natural nitrate additive. Some places will also just use more salt (as has been done for the history of meat curing).
They can do this and still call it "nitrate-free" or "uncured."
My guess is that they are using some "natural" nitrate additives and just playing word games.
This! They may add celery juice or powder, which is high in nitrates, they're just playing with words since the nitrates are "natural." For example, the first video linked above uses Sausage Maker Ecocure #2. The ingredients for that product include "Natural Vegetable Extract" which is likely celery powder.
re: Inconel vs Titanium for a 30 cal Supressor
Posted by TIGERRVER on 7/2/25 at 8:44 am to WeagleEagle
There will be a noticeable difference with the 10 extra ounces hanging off the end of the barrel versus adding weight to the stock (if you want more weight for reduced recoil). Another option would be a suppressor with an integrated muzzle brake. Several companies now make them.
