Spending more time trying to convince my wife to take the plunge and go to beauty school to get her license. She says we dont have the money, and dont you think about selling your bitcoin.
I had to inform her i own bitcoin precisely for this reason. We can do what gives us joy in life. Its for us to pursue our passions and be happy.
Enjoy and bask in the freedom
Cartridge of the Day: 30-40 Krag
The .30-40 Krag, also known as the .30 U.S. or .30 Army, is a rifle cartridge that was introduced by the U.S. Army in 1892. It was the first smokeless powder round to be adopted by the U.S. military. The cartridge features a rimmed design and was originally designed for use in the Krag–Jørgensen bolt-action rifle, which was the standard service rifle for the U.S. Army until it was replaced by the Springfield M1903 in the early 20th century.
The .30-40 Krag typically uses a .30 caliber (7.62 mm) bullet that weighs around 220 grains, although other bullet weights have been used. The muzzle velocity is approximately 2,000-2,200 feet per second, depending on the specific load.
Use cases include military applications during its service period, as well as hunting medium to large game. The .30-40 Krag is noted for its relatively mild recoil and good accuracy. While no longer standard military issue, it remains popular among collectors and vintage firearm enthusiasts. It is also used by some hunters who prefer its historical significance and adequate performance for game such as deer and elk.

Cartridge of the Day: .250 Savage
The .250 Savage cartridge, also known as the .250-3000 Savage, was introduced by Savage Arms in 1915. It is a rifle cartridge designed for medium game hunting and is notable for being the first commercial cartridge to achieve a muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second (fps) with an 87-grain bullet. This high velocity was significant for its time and provided flat trajectory and effective performance for hunting.
The cartridge typically fires a bullet with a diameter of .257 inches and is available in various bullet weights, commonly ranging from 75 to 120 grains. The .250 Savage is well-regarded for its mild recoil and accuracy, making it suitable for hunting deer, antelope, and similar-sized game.
It uses a rimless, bottlenecked case design, which contributes to reliable feeding and extraction in bolt-action and some lever-action rifles. Though it has been largely overshadowed by newer, more powerful cartridges, the .250 Savage remains a favorite among enthusiasts and hunters who appreciate its historical significance and balanced performance.
