    FNG from NV (but not in NV)

    Hi everyone, Just joined, I live out west but I am currently working on the East Coast. The work/live split has me doing more target shooting and less hunting. I am hoping to at least get to chat about hunting, shooting and reloading until I can get back to somewhere with a bit more space.

    Protocol for testing Hunting Loads? Do you test extreme temp spread?

    I've been using GRT, but I have notice that most of the powder models do not have specific inputs for temp sensitivity (they just use defaults). The issue I run into with cold testing is that where I want to hunt is much colder than where I live or work. It rarely drops below freezing at the...

    6cm vs 6arc

    (Verify this before buying) I think the Mesa can use a Remage threaded barrel. A benefit of the 6CM is that Outlier barrels chambers them. With a MTU contour 20" barrel you are looking at $220 threaded/chambered/shipped. If you pay an extra $45 you can get it Nitrided and their "Shootout...

    Very Newbie Question (that I cannot seem to Google away): What is a Side Lock muzzleloader

    That was my initial conclusion, but I guess I was overthinking things. Thank you

    6cm vs 6arc

    Based on these 2 thoughts, I would direct you to the 6 Creedmoor. The extra 200 fps (+/-) you will see out of the 6 Creedmoor will give you significantly more tolerance for range or wind estimation errors when hunting. The Arc is designed for predictable velocities in shorter barrels, but...

    Very Newbie Question (that I cannot seem to Google away): What is a Side Lock muzzleloader

    I came across a hunting regulation that specifically called for a flintlock or side-lock muzzleloader. Initially I thought a side-lock is just another term for a percussion cap muzzleloader, but I have found some information that suggests percussion cap muzzleloaders are not side-lock. Is this...

    Protocol for testing Hunting Loads? Do you test extreme temp spread?

    I have been doing some reloading for target shooting and I have had some great results. I have not been hunting in a few years due to life/career/location changes and I am hoping to do some deer hunting this fall. My number one concern when preparing for hunting is doing everything I can to...

    First time suppressor buyer - best buying experience?

    If you have a relationship with your Local FFL, ask them, they may already have a relationship with Silencer Shop. Having said that. When I was shopping for my first (and currently only) suppressor, I was on a budget adn I found Silencer Shop's budget offerings to be incomplete. I...

    7MM recommendation. 3 choices.

    In my opinion, the best argument against the Seekins PH2 is the Seekins PH3. Having said that, the Bergara and the 307 are both Remington 700 footprints, and as much as I like what Seekins has done so far, the PH3 is (in my opinion) such as significant improvement over the PH2 that I think...

    Varget in a 7MM-o8

    I have read that Varget specifically does not like magnum primers, but I don't have any first hand experience with them. Having said that, Hodgdon publishes a load range of 40.5-43.5gr of Varget, and a GRT simulation shows 100% burnout in a 20 inch barrel at 42gr (at 70F powder temp). With a...
