    Steels, sharpening, edge angles?

    I've tried it with high polished, 100k edges and with coarse edges as well, ended up choosing coarse edge, lasts a lot longer, especially on highly abrasive mediums. sharpen with 800-1000 grit diamond stone, then strop or ceramic stick to maintain the edge, resharping in the woods or mountains sux

    Use diamond only to sharpen @ 20* angle then strops with diamond paste s90v imo is hard to sharpen but does hold a edge well with maintenance

    6.5 PRC vs 6.5 CM? I currently use a 7 PRC, but looking for a lighter weight, lighter recoiling rifle dedicated for deer hunting.

    6cm , 243 , are my best suggestions for deer and antilope mild recoil to kill power

    Aftermarket stock for Mossberg Patriot

    I have a patriot composit stock I might be interested in trading, in 375 ruger 6 1/2 lbs is kinda lite , so a heavier weight stock might take the bite out of the recoil

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I’m a old school hunter new elk & deer and whatever rifle is a 375 ruger a fat 22 cal is still under powered for me , except for a neck shot maybe 235gr @ 3000fps or a 270gr @ 2700fps kills DRT and doesn’t have any meat damage
