    Why are you shooting PRC, AI, creedmoor, or WSM?

    Would you say you'd shoot more 6.5 creed due to ammo costs vs the wsm or PRC or ARC or is ammo cost a non issue?

    Why are you shooting PRC, AI, creedmoor, or WSM?

    By ammo chills out. I was meaning that the new caliber is similar in cost and availablity to its older counter part. In that example, 6.5 creedmore was the new one and .308 was the old one. Makes sense if you're picking up the new thing if you have a purpose for it.

    Why are you shooting PRC, AI, creedmoor, or WSM?

    So, I recently was in the market for a new rifle. It was supposed to be my buy once cry once use it for the next 10 years kind of rifle and I was dead set on going with a 300 WSM. And then it hit me, the ammo costs are significantly higher and options are significantly lower for these newer...

    Loaded over night?

    I watched I love muzzleloading video on leaving muzzle loaders loaded. However, I was curious if anyone noticed a POI shift. Different results with northwest compliant variants?

    CVA Accura Northwest accuracy

    For anyone who comes across this in the future. 777 ffg 70 to 80 grains, cci musket caps, power belt elr's and hornady eld-x's was a sweet spot. I was pretty consistently 1.5-2 moa with a couple accuracy nodes that had smaller groups.

    Muzzleloader overpressure

    So, as a centerline reloader I can tell when I'm getting close to being over pressure. However, on a muzzleloader, how can you tell? Does it change from musket caps vs primers?

    CVA Accura Northwest accuracy

    Sweet, do you develop a load with a scope and then sight in irons after? I attempted my first group today with 70grains by weight of 777 ffg and eld-x bullets out of a northwest converted LR-x and got 3" groups at 50. Not exactly anything to write home about. Only problem is idk if the load, my...

    Muzzleloader barrel length vs velocity

    Anyone have any good data on FPS gain with barrel length on muzzle loaders? Everywhere I look either comes back with centerfire data or some guys comment that its going to be higher but doesnt give a number.

    CVA Accura Northwest accuracy

    So, I've been reading on the CVA accuras and have decided I want one. Only problem is I'm in a northwest state and i cant find any accuracy on northwest accuras. Also, trying to decide if its worth getting an LR-x and converting the 209 primers to musket.

    Exit Pupil and Scope Eyebox question

    From what I understand, your eye ball pupil is roughly around 2mm during bright daylight. Therefore, if the scope pupil is 3.5 mm then your eye can float inside and makes it feel like it has a longer eye box because its limited longitudinally by the scope "shadow" itself. However, the side to...

    Exit pupil and dusk shooting

    Fair warning: super nerdy wordy post incoming. I've been doing research on new scopes and wanna make sure I'm understanding exit pupil and it's importance with dusk and dawn settings. So, from what I understand anytime the exit pupil on your scope is smaller than the pupil of your eyeball it...

    If youre rifle barrel were bent......

    I technically could do something similar, however, the rifle was like $550 new ($80 to fix) and the shotgun was $450 so, it's not worth making a claim for something that's under the deductible and then paying more in premiums.

    If youre rifle barrel were bent......

    Well, new update. I ordered an AR 10 and am assembling it today. I was planning on switching to one anyway. It just came earlier than expected. Ruger said they'll replace the barrel on the original rifle for $80. When I don't flinch while shooting the savage axis, I can shoot just under MOA with...
