You need a green card first before you can enlist.

You would need to be a US citizen before being considered for any job where your language skills would be useful (cryptolinguist) because of the security clearance requirements.

Argentina isn't part of any Axis of Evil for the US but they don't hand out top secret clearances to foreigners just because they know useful languages.

You might consider the private sector. Petrobras Argentina or something.

The ultimate truth is, for anything smaller than moose and grizzly it really doesn't matter what you load as long as it's between 125gr and 200gr in .308. All will kill reliably at any range you can reliably hit game animals in the vitals.
>150gr
>2600fps
nigga wat. Are you trying to use like a 16" barrel or something? You should be in the 2800-2900fps range with most 150gr bullets depending on powder if you have a stereotypical hunting rifle's 22" barrel. Pic related. Those are probably starting loads you're looking at.

I find 150-165gr bullets to be the sweet spot for taking a large range of game (antelope through Rocky Mountain elk), and I have never felt like I didn't have "enough bullet". Stick to well built bonded softpoints from reputable (non-Russian, non-Brazilian) manufacturers and you shouldn't have a problem.

>is the up in velocity going to ruin much more meat?
Depends entirely on bullet selection and very little on velocity. Pick one with controlled expansion and deep penetration and you won't ruin much meat even with shoulder hits. Anecdote of this is my .243--I can use 80gr Nosler BT-Hunting bullets and completely mush half an antelope, or I can use 85gr Gamekings and ruin basically no meat. Difference of only about 60fps in velocity.
It's not fudd talk, but they are big perpetrators of it because they don't pay any attention to bullet selection or construction.
>secondly, would there be any advantages to having the 180gr at that point?
Only if you need the significantly deeper penetration it would provide specifically in a .308, and are willing to sacrifice the trajectory to get it. It will drop significantly more than the 150gr (as long as they're relatively similar construction and you're not comparing, say, the flat-based Hornady Interlock 150gr to a Berger VLD-Hunting 180). 180gr is kind of on the high end of what a .308 handles well and you give up a LOT of velocity going from 165gr to 180gr.

>>32815024
180gr Nosler Partitions have a G1 BC of 0.474, which isn't bad at all. You'll probably push those ~2600ft/s with a decent load. I agree with the rest of what you said. (I'm not OP, if that wasn't obvious)

Regarding the velocity, I've got no chronograph, so the velocities I got were off of the lyman reloading handbook, 49th edition

The gun I'll be using is a Tikka T3, with the 22inch barrel.
So what sort of bullet should I be looking for then, to achieve well enough controlled expansion. Also would it be of any harm in my accuracy to have cheaper bullets for plinking as well, so long as their the same weight?

I'm not a math wiz so I could be just as wrong, but your math seems correct to me. I think you could have done a simple ratio instead.

>0.08/24 = x/3600 x=12

No need to break out the trig.

Even so, you can still make the front sight post even on a small target. I know a lot of high power shooters use a six o'clock hold and put the whole circle on top of the "horizon" of the front sight post. Maybe adjusting for this kind of sight picture will help.

>>32815036
Thank you for the confirmation, I usually tend to solve problems in the most roundabout way possible.

I guess I should start reading up on high power shooting. Until just about a year ago all my shooting was done through optics (t. fudd), so I have plenty of room to git gud with irons.

>>32814006
KNS makes replacement AK front sights of different widths to help with more precise shots

>>32813671
They can't run a NICS check until they have the gun's serial number anyway, so they probably didn't bother IDing you. It's probably a gun they think they could move even if they couldn't sell it to you, so it wasn't a big deal.

So the dealer doesn't get stuck with it if you change your mind

>>32813671
>>32813689
Also, they didn't technically sell you the gun, they just took your money as a deposit on the order. They haven't legally sold you the gun until the background check comes back. If they BG check you later and you are denied, then they keep your deposit and the gun.

Baby oil and water. If its actually been used in an NBC environment don't try to clean it.

I have an FM12 which is basically the same thing and i just wiped the inside down with a wet rag, they don't really get dirty from anything other than like sand and dirt so it's not that big of an issue anyway

It's called cornifex, you fucking retard

You can't even run past the end of your drive

sure you can. The Kurdish YPG accept Western volunteers to help them fight ISIS.
If you get a bit of military experience there are plenty of PMCs that will hire you if you know the right people.
The question you really need to ask yourself is: is the thrill of being in combat worth endless drudgery, getting stopped in airports, not having any support mechanisms, not seeing your family and friends for extended periods, variously living in holes in the ground, shitty hotel rooms and sketchy dosshouses, fucking up your hearing, etc?
Also: do you just want it so you can kill people? If so, seek help.

If you're looking for an adrenaline high and your rich it's easy as showing up, if you want to make a living at it by 1st world standards you gotta have experience and training. I work logistics as a road warrior vehicle recovery and load inspection mechanic/truck driver, our security is exclusively rangers and marines with two or three tours. The check point guys and locals are all African and Romanian working for about 6 bucks an hour. There's an old MP or E6/7 in charge of each post keeping the rabble more or less in check. It's worse in South America unless you know someone or have bodyguard experience and fluent Spanish. Lots of Euro trash work overseas and claim unemployment back home so they work dirt cheap and treat everything like a vacation.

SKS was a more modern design.

>intermediate cartridge

>larger magazine

>better accurate rate of fire

>Integral bayonet

The FAL and the AK you giant mong. In the 50s both designed were outdated as fuck

>>32812750
>AR-15
Seriously though it's the SKS. Less recoil meant you could more effectively suppress targets, it had 10rd mag, 7.62x39mm was lighter per cartridge so you could carry more, the gun was lighter so it didn't tire you out, the action is more enclosed so I'm inclined to believe it was more reliable but it is tilting bolt so who knows.

The M1 Garand's pros are faster reloading via the enbloc (can't realistically top off gun though) and god tier sighting system.
