    130 Grain Class 6.5 Creedmoor Bullets

    I know 130 TMKs have a good reputation. From memory I’ve read where the Berger 130 hybrids/OTMs work decent keeping the velocity up. I would like to try the 130 ELDs myself but it’s likely wasted on deer for me.

    6 ARC as a 400+ Yard Hunting Cartridge?

    No. I believe we've got a decent amount of evidence in this forum of 6mm working good within its velocity envelope regardless of what headstamp it's coming out of.

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    Was I supposed to quote something else? Either the hydrostatic shock is there and has a meaningful difference on incapacitation or it doesn't. Until we can find a study measuring the differences energy (and by virtue hydrostatic shock) has on incapacitation it seems like a useless metric to get...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    "Recommendations The FBI recommends that loads intended for self-defense and law enforcement applications meet a minimum penetration requirement of 12” in ballistic gelatin.[8] Maximizing ballistic pressure wave effects requires transferring maximum energy in a penetration distance that meets...

    Food Recommendations for staying full and losing weight

    I'm no expert but it does sound pretty lean. Which can be good if your primary goal is to lose weight but you will have to get used to being a bit hungry at times.

    Food Recommendations for staying full and losing weight

    To me it sounds like you need more animal fats in your diet. Possibly some less lean cuts of meat in there.

    Food Recommendations for staying full and losing weight

    Personally I think dairy is too broad a spectrum, reduced fat milk might as well be called sugar water. But I'm one of those biased raw milk people.

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    With an efile they don’t even give you a physical copy of your stamp. If an agent had an issue with my digital copy on my phone I’d want them to get me the physical copy I paid for to me.

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    Some people (me) don’t like our hearing. But really pistol/sbr doesn’t make a difference to me since I have both. Braces weren’t as good when I went an sbr route. If you don’t have or intend to run a suppressor on your HD gun I would agree 16” is simpler.

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    If I was wanting top tier, I’d buy an LMT. If this is your first foray into ARs, I would instead recommend buying maybe a PSA Sabre for the rifle and a pistol to sbr, a case of magazines, legitimately good optics like aimpoint or nightforce, and a lot of ammo. There are a lot of functioning...

    22 Hornet for Deer

    Preface; I don't have any experience with 22 hornet. I'm a big 223 for big game advocate. No, I would expect a mushroom from the soft lead and maybe an exit. It would be narrow wounding compared to the 87gr VMAX. Cast bullets are mainly a nostalgic thing for rimmed cartridges from my...

    22 Hornet for Deer

    If it were me, I'd probably load some cast bullets to try and use it like I was bow hunting. Also, I would like to get ahold of some 40gr gold dot bullets they load for the 5.7x28

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Any reason for not carrying with a weapon mounted light? Just seemed like an interesting omission from your pistols

    155 eld-m vs 178 eld-x

    I wouldn’t have an issue with it, but the 168eld has a better BC and I wouldn’t think the 155 could make up the difference in velocity.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    If you listened to the podcast you’d realize the bear would be dead because you shot it in the face. A pmr30 gives you 30 opportunities to do so. My 9mm only gives me 13 opportunities.
