    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    i miss shootin squirrels with my pellet guns. they're tough little bastards. definitely go with a .22 pellet and have a higher MV. sure shot placement is important, but i really hate squirrels

    The Impact of Losing Zero – Causes and Mitigation Strategies

    keep shooting. it's winter. over the next two months, does it change? i dont like drawing conclusions when i'm shooting and it's stupid cold. all i can reasonably conclude is that i'm cold and not focusing.

    What is YOUR Small Caliber on Big Game Experience?

    my newish 243 with 87 gr hammer absolute hunters has only taken two deer so far, but i feel confident it will kill anything i appropriately point it at. this coming down from 30-06 and 7mag and 308. but i'm NOT a long range hunter. my woods are thick and i'm quiet. i support smaller calibers...

    Home-based Firefighting Equipment

    I enjoyed the write-up on Neil Desai who used a 2" hose from his pool for sprinklers and used his hot tub to mix up a batch of hydrogel to spray down another part of his house. the man had a plan. going to be lonely in the neighborhood though... i should talk to my insurance company about how...

    Another Suppressor Rec please

    i have the Hybrid 46M, haven't used it on any pistols though, too lazy. but the option exists. i've put it on .223 ARs and .300BLK ARs and 6.5CM AR10, and 243/308 hunting rifles. It does what I need it to do.... that said, swapping out parts to adapt it to the next thing you wanna...

    Picking up hitchhikers

    Northern California Recommendations

    if you take the 1 north from SF in july you'll be stuck behind an even larger minivan or camper going slower than you want to go and you won't be able to pass. but you'll be able to enjoy the scenery, or at least your passengers will. things will "improve" once you hit the 101 that said, if you...

    Suggestions for a lever action?

    personally i'd opt for the 357 so i could also feed a 357 revolver. i loved my 45-70, it made big holes in things, but it wasn't tthhaattt much fun to shoot. well, it was fun, for the first five shots at the range. a threaded 357 lever gun would make for stupid fun w 38 spl ammo and a...

    Recoil Question - Different Caliber but Similar Charge and Bullet Grain

    when i retired my savage 110 in 30-06 for a tikka T3 in 7 mag, I thought the tikka felt like less recoil. Not that it has less recoil obviously, but the ergonomics of the stock worked better at my shoulder. that said, i dont think you'll find too much difference between 308 and 65CM...

    6mm Creedmoor > 6.5 Grendel??? And... can Ruger American stabilize the Barnes 95 LRX?

    if i didn't reload i'd just buy a tikka 243 w 1:8 twist and buy any of the dozen(s) of lead-free options and not look back i do reload....so I bought a 1:8 tikka 243 and reload hammers, because ...well no good reason. just wanted to see if i could fling light copper bullets at fast speeds. any...

    depends on how many people you(r parents) are going to invite ours was a "big" wedding...150+ people and it was only tolerable bc other than inviting all their old friends our parents didn't have a say in anything and we were able to do it for dirt cheap in 2005 now if we hadn't been able to...
