Liberty Ammunition “Ammo Comparison Series”

Bradenton, FL

Liberty Ammunition focuses solely on self-defense ammunition and makes the best self-defense ammunition. What most people don’t know is ammunition performance can be calculated in foot pounds of energy.

SAAMI calculates kinetic energy of a projectile based on the general equation for kinetic energy, Ek=½mv2. Their formula expresses energy in foot pounds. Their calculation is: E=(W*V2)/(14000*gc). (W=weight of projectile, in grains; V = velocity, in feet per second; gc= gravitational constant, 32.174 ft/s2)

Gary Ramey – CEO of Liberty Ammunition noted: “We started as a development house for the government and have created the best ammunition. While other companies make generic ammunition, Liberty Ammo is built to perform.”

Ramey added; “Most people do not understand the differences in ammunition. So we will publish the results by brand and wrap it up with a comparison for all brands by caliber.” Read more

CCRKBA: Newsom Signs “Extremist Anti-Gun Measure”

BELLEVUE, WA – California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signing of extremist gun control measures Tuesday amounts to a giant leap backwards from protecting public safety and the rights of law-abiding citizens, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

“Gavin Newsom continues to blame gun owners for problems he is not addressing as the state’s chief executive,” said CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “Instead of cracking down on law-abiding gun owners by signing Senate Bill 2, which restricts lawful concealed carry, and Assembly Bill 2, creating an 11 percent excise tax on firearms and ammunition, he should be focusing his attention on the people committing crimes.”

Gottlieb said both measures are likely to be found unconstitutional, but in the meantime, Golden State residents will be penalized for crimes they didn’t commit. Read more

Michigan: invasive balsam woolly adelgid confirmed in Missaukee County

Second detection of this pest in Michigan

Lansing, MI – The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) verified the detection of invasive balsam woolly adelgid (BWA) at a residential property in Missaukee County.

Wait until after Oct. 15 to prune oak trees

The best way to prevent the spread of oak wilt is to not prune any oak tree during the growing season.

“It’s best to wait until after Oct. 15 to start pruning oak trees,” says Tivon Feeley, with the Iowa DNR’s forest health program. “Then you can prune your oaks all winter long with the goal to stop pruning by March 1.”

Oak wilt, caused by a fungus, has been present in Iowa for many years. Iowa’s red, black, and pin oak are more susceptible to oak wilt, but it can also infect white and bur oak. Black, pin, or red oak usually die within the same summer they are infected. White oak and bur oak can often take a number of years before they succumb to this disease. Read more
