    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Not only did I used to drive a Prius to work, on two different occasions I put elk quarters in the back of it. A couple of my favorite elk spots were a hike straight in off the highway, not a trailhead or anything, barely a wide spot- pretty much just pull off the highway and go. I always used...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Loaded some 132HHT for my 7-08ai, in case I decide to carry it for spring bear at all. Will likely use my primary, but doesn’t make sense to not have my backup ready to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    30-40 Krag. I think it’s poised for a comeback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Honestly we should just lump those guys in with the muzzleloader hunters season wise. Just call it primitive/unenlightened weapons season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I think it’s great that a thread about guns and masculinity has turned into a quiche recipe exchange. Wish I had a good one to share, but they’re generally made up on the fly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hypothetical - You can only bring one firearm….

    I’m not sure why you’d bring more than one, unless you want to carry a sidearm. The overwhelming majority of people who hunt moose every year go with one firearm, mostly a bolt gun chambered in something quite boring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why Match/Target Bullets For Hunting

    Any one of those looks like good medicine for deer/bear/elk. I’m partial to Hammers, but killed plenty of elk with the LRX before I made the switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cut my barrel or re-barrel and sell the old one?

    Low bc for sure. Other two for more traditional mono bullets like Barnes, Hornady offerings. There are options out there making big wounds (approaching more than I want) with reliable function down to 1700, that are also working great for guys pushing them really hard. Sent from my iPhone...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I was once ok at it. Where/how I grew up hunting deer that weren’t on their way somewhere else were really rare. Moving shots were the norm. So that’s what we practiced- coyotes and jackrabbits on the run. Mostly with a 30-30 lever gun. Those running deer were generally close though- inside 50...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    But if that is the goal, the best way to get there is with a bigger cartridge and a smaller (diameter) bullet. Long, sleek, high bc, heavy for caliber bullets pushed stupid fast will get you the longest MPBR. To stay on topic, I believe 4200fps is where masculinity is achieved. Sent from my...

    Thou shalt not speak the “e” word on Rokslide. Folks get pretty worked up about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elk vitals are actually pretty big. I get the point you’re making, but it’s not shooting golf balls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How far are those longer shots? That 7-08 will reach out further than I generally hear anyone talk about shooting whitetails. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tikka Bolts

    Depending on what level of precision your matches require, you can likely double that 3k or more. My 223ai is at around 4500 and hasn’t shown any signs of deteriorating accuracy or velocity wonkiness (technical term). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
