"CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is having a rough week. After her own agency confessed that prior infection provided superior protection to the Delta variant than vaccination alone, she is now regretfully informing the American people that “fully vaccinated” was all a lie. She didn’t explicitly call it a “lie,” but she might as well have. Walensky appeared on CBS News to deliver the bad news to the remaining Covid expert believers. “What we really are working to do is pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up-to-date with their Covid-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should...

Greetings. I'm trying to reverse engineer a 38 special factory load that works well in a S&W Mod 52 - Winchester 148 gr. Mid-range wadcutter target load. Specifically, I could use some help identifying the propellant. Charge weight in the factory round is 2.6 gr. Projectile is HBWC. About 710 fps. Powder is flattened ball powder with a grey/silver color. It might be a blend, but if anyone has any ideas of what brand this propellant this is, please PM me. Thank you. FRegards.
