The .22-250 started as a wildcat.

In the 1930s, varmint shooters necked down the .250-3000 Savage case to .22 caliber.
It shot so fast and flat that gunsmiths were chambering it for 30 years before any factory did.
Remington finally made it official in 1965.

A farm boy in 1940 could:

Milk six cows before breakfast
Harness a team of mules
Butcher a hog and cure the ham
Split a winter's worth of firewood
A grown man in 2026 pays someone to change his oil.

What happened?

@DrKRRB I agree

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@johnstonsco Yep. Want followers? Talk to folks. Say somethin’ worth readin’. The rest usually takes care of itself.

@BarnabyHistory Hard to imagine laying between dead men all night, listening to the wounded, knowing you might be next. Them boys learned what war really was that night. Nothing glorious about it.

@33StrategiesBot I’d rather be respected by a few than liked by a crowd. A man who has to play dumb to fit in is running with the wrong crowd.

@MarindaVannoy1 Little house, old tractor, some land and nobody bothering you. Sounds like being rich without needing to be rich.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@NatureUnedited Even a beaver knows when to shut up and listen. Some folks could learn a thing or two from that.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@BreeMontgomery Now that sounds like living. Plenty of land, dogs running free, no neighbors in your business, and kids growing up outdoors. That’s a life money can’t always buy.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@NealMcCready Well, Neal, don’t hold back now. Tell us how you really feel.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

Hang up the day. You don't have to carry it to bed. Rest. Tomorrow needs you whole.

@Chris__X__ Yep. I don’t give a damn which party spent it. If it’s taxpayer money, we oughta be able to see where every damn dollar went.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@MarkFlegm How was your time back in the states?

@Jeff_Davis1808 @realDailyWire @BreitbartNews @MattWalshBlog @MattWalshShow @SecWar @WestPoint_USMA @megbasham @watchonDW @amconmag Lee’s choice makes a whole lot more sense when you understand that in 1861, a man’s loyalty to his home state could outweigh his loyalty to Washington. You don’t have to agree with his choice to understand why he made it.

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@DWesthawk Hell, looks like he found himself a pretty damn good spot to sit and watch the world go by.

@MeatEaterTV Put everybody in the same damn draw. If you pull a tag and want a guide, hire one. Outfitters shouldn’t get their own pile of tags to sell.

A farm boy in 1940 could:

Drive a tractor at 10
Shoot and clean his own game
Fix fence, splice rope, sharpen tools
Work sunup to sundown

A grown man in 2026 calls a guy to hang a TV. What happened?

[GRIT 〰 @HardMenHQ]

@iam_smx @dutch08358 The men makin’ the decisions damn sure oughta remember somebody else’s son is gonna have to carry ’em out.

Dec. 6, 1907. A blast at Monongah, West Virginia killed 360+ coal miners, the deadliest mine disaster in U.S. history. Boys worked down there beside their fathers. Paid by the ton, Appalachian miners still went into the dark every day. That's grit.
