    Shooting Mat Recommendations?

    I grabbed a Voodoo Tactical on sale. It's solid for the price.

    DRT Terminal shock results on game

    The 135g was highly destructive at 2k fps. Complete fragmentation. At 1800 maybe you get a longer neck length (as long as they upset consistently). Too small of a sample size to say for sure, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate at or a bit below 2k.

    Tikka 22-250 1:8 88eldm Stability?

    80gr eldm shoot well in my factory tikka .223. Hornady BC has worked fine to transonic.

    Lrhs 3-12 vs rs1.2

    I preferred everything about the 3-12 LRHS except the reticle and 50 spline turret. But the reticle improvement is dramatic and for big game hunting gives the edge to the rs1.2 for me. The 3-12 LRHS with an improved reticle and a few OZ lighter is the ideal scope.

    Several hundred miles in a truck bed, a few backpack rides to shooting locations, and about 120 rounds of shooting in mountains since the last post.

    Rokstok vs KRG Bravo

    My primary hunting rifle remains in a Bravo since the Rokstok I ordered 15 months ago still hasn't arrived. I rebarreled to a 4" longer (20 -> 24), 1 pound heavier barrel before a recent hunt and it balances a lot better than before. I'd think a thinner barrel with suppressor would balance fine...

    Deer don’t have an aiming dot and your groups aren’t really that small.

    You can still aim/hit small on animals. Practice bracketing on larger targets or animal targets at distance. Preferably targets with feedback. Obviously wind becomes a thing. Elk from a very recent hunt. 2 shots an inch apart at 405 yards. On real animals, a thorough understanding of...

    6CM vs. 6.5CM

    I've been shooting that exact comparison side by side the past few days. 6.5cm/130 and 6cm/109. Same weight rifles, same stock. The recoil difference is fairly substantial. It "feels" like more than 2ft lbs to me. Putting a brake on the 6.5 reduces reticle movement to just less than bare muzzle...

    106 TAP for hunting?

    I have 5 or 6 boxes of these I'd let go for what I paid (cheap).

    Is that a green stock from last year, or did it arrive in the past week or two?
