Bullets with a fast velocity or a high BC are good, but those with both are even better.Since the introduction of the 6.5 Creedmoor, shooters and hunters have become infatuated with bullets that have a high ballistic coefficient (BC). This is understandable because, given the same velocity, the bullet with a higher BC will fly flatter and resist the wind better. Of course, for you to shoot a bullet with an extremely high BC you must have a rifling twist rate capable of stabilizing that bullet at the muzzle velocity you’ll be launching it at. This creates somewhat of a…

The U.S. Air Force is underestimating the lengths maintenance delays at its aircraft maintenance depots, according to a new government watchdog report.Unplanned maintenance — the inevitable surprises that are discovered when aircraft undergo scheduled work — are not being reflected in metrics that assess depot performance. The result is that the Air Force “is not reporting the full extent of depot maintenance challenges and may not be able to make accurate comparisons across the fleet,” warned the Government Accountability Office in a report released Thursday.The question is how unplanned maintenance is recorded. When assessing whether depots are meeting their deadlines…

There’s no time like the present to take a critical look at the Craft Holsters Lynx IWB holster, which I tested with my Springfield Hellcat. But first, a little background info. Craft Holsters was formed in 2009 with a vision of offering holsters that are more than just interchangeable pieces of gear. If made with true craftsmanship, they could instead become vital parts of a user’s “daily mission,” whether that be honing one’s shooting ability or standing ready to protect family and community. An insert with my test holster announced “The end of holster drawers,” which is a goal I…

When it comes to hiking in the Southeast, most people immediately think of the Smokies, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Trail. And for good reason. The area is an absolute wonderland for outdoor enthusiasts. You could spend a lifetime exploring these mountains and still not run out of trails, waterfalls, trout streams and scenic overlooks.But, for my money, the most overlooked pocket of outdoor paradise in the Southeast sits right around Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK I’ve written before about Cloudland Canyon State Park — one of my favorite underrated spots in…

This article was originally published by Justin M. Ptak at The Mises Institute.  There is something almost absurd about a government minting money at a loss. A coin—the most basic unit—becomes instead a confession, not just of inefficiency, but of a deeper fracture between what money is supposed to represent and what it has become. The American penny collapsed under that weight—3.69 cents for every penny minted. Thus, it cost multiples of its face value to produce—a financial contradiction sustained for years out of habit and political inertia. Now the nickel stands in the same position, costing far more to…

RIGA, Latvia — Exercising in Latvia’s dense pine and birch forests this week, local troops found themselves in an unfair fight against a new enemy: unmanned ground vehicles.As NATO tries to keep pace with fast-changing drone warfare, the alliance used Latvia’s Crystal Arrow exercise to test unmanned ground combat, equipping opposing forces with wheeled robots. The systems gave the red team an element of surprise over a blue team relying only on aerial drones, said Lt. Col.
