    scope zero questions

    Although I'm not sure how, it sounds like the person doing the bore sighting didn't get the laser square in the bore. Maybe he overtightened it?.

    Inreach ?

    If you enable tracking, will InReach "track back" to each track point? Or does that only work with waypoints?

    9MM ammo for bears defense?

    If you practice DA with the 329pd, you can rip off a cylinder full very fast with minute of bear attack accuracy. I know I can. Six 1000ft/lb .430" 270gr WFN rounds is why I carry my 31oz security blanket. But I reload and shoot a lot.

    Locating (pinging) another InReach

    The nice thing about locate is that it doesn't require any action on the part of the InReach user. So if the person carrying the InReach is lying dead, they can be located. Or if some slime rodent steals your InReach, it will report the location as soon as it is turned on. Locate (pinging) is a...

    Locating (pinging) another InReach

    The InReach to InReach communication feature could use some work imo. If you've enabled locate, then you should be able to be located in the field.

    Locating (pinging) another InReach

    I can locate a partner's InReach if he has locate enabled in his mapshare page. But, this only works if I have cell service, as it requires accessing a mapshare page. Is there a way to do this from my Inreach mini directly? It would be nice to be able to locate my partner in the field.

    223 Projectile, High B.C., Short BTO?

    Just a side note: You can load out to ~2.29" or so using metal mags. I use ASC stainless 5 rounders for hunting.

    Garmin Inreach question

    Garmin has a number of options to control that information. Turn off location on your messages. But enable location pinging in your password protected mapshare so that your SO can see where you are at. Restrict who gets your checkin messages and tell them to keep quiet.

    in reach vs in reach mini

    And the mini will back track, which is nice if you get lost on an in&out hunt and your phone is dead. Funny, but if you have tracking enabled, you can message a loved one and ask them where you are at :)

    Reloading Bench Pics! Post Yours!

    The best investment I made was the inlinefabrication press mounts. They allowed me to use an inferior bench top while ergonomically locating tbe two presses. On the left is a Dillon SDB, which requires left & right access (9mm,40sw,45acp,44mag), in the middle is a Lee Powder dispenser mounted on...

    Bivy Stick VS Garmin Inreach mini?? HELP

    Renting a satelite phone might be better. Texting is pretty limited. IMHO.

    InReach Plans? What do you prefer?

    I switched from SPOT to InReach Feb this year (12 year SPOT user). I'm a firm believer in tracking, (more on that later), and chose the Recreation plan for this year. I use InReach every month, but I've never gone over my 40 text monthly allocation. So I think something like a safety plan with...

    Recommend a handgun for back country protection

    The best post on this thread. There are no good deals now. A year ago S&W was selling M&P40's for $299, today the price is even with Glock at $519. Between covid and Biden, people are buying everything.

    Onx vs basemap

    I use OnX because I can get full-feature for 1 state for less than $20/yr. No flies on it.

    anyone still use a beam scale?

    I ditched the beam and went with an MTM 750gr 3AAA digital and set of check weights a decade ago. Much faster, same accuracy, and less bench space.

    329 Reloading - my experience

    I run 270gr WFN @1150fps through mine. Holds up fine and I can shoot 3 cylinders of it before I'm all fun'd out. https://sites.google.com/site/hobbyhintstricksideas/Home/s-w-329pd-info#TOC-Load-Data-and-Observations

    Chronograph Reccomendations

    Brig your 22lr rifle with you when setting up your optical. I use an old crony alpha master. I only use it when developing a load and I'm so amazing that it works for me (I think I read the instructions or something). My crony only comes out 1 or twice a year. It remembers a 20 shot string...
