    Issue with Christensen arms

    Try different ammo. Worst case, I had an issue two years ago with a new 300WM Ridgeline, wouldn’t shoot 180-200gr from any brand. Took it to a semi-local CA distributor and had their in-house gunsmith send some various rounds through it, he agreed something was up. They got a service slip...

    Zeroing rifle in high humidity

    This. Air density at higher elevation is going to be significantly less, making your bullet fly more efficiently, changing your trajectory/bullet drop. Your 100 yard zero won’t change but your Texas-based dope will shoot high at further distances because the bullet isn’t fighting through as...

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    The electric vehicle threat for most is likely decades away and would require a significant overhaul of US infrastructure or a breakthrough in battery technology. (California is in a league of its own on this) I’m more concerned about the dual-purpose “smart” tech finding its way into standard...

    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    “Illegal acts for firearms” means no more handies at the local truck stop for Hi-Point pistols and Ruger 10/22s. No way I’m putting in for a license, there goes my side gig…

    Finally set up my home reloading station, have some questions.

    @TaperPin that is a nugget of pure gold, thanks for posting the above on adjustment per revolution, I didn’t know that (among many other things🤣)

    6.5 PRC dies ?

    Started with RCBS but had some inconsistencies with the dies, swapped out and have been using the Redding FL/Micro Seat and a 21st Century expander mandrel with excellent results. My RCBS set might have just been a production run with marginal QC, my other die sets from them have been spot on.

    AKU Boots

    I’ve used AKU Pilgrims and Spider IIs for early to mid season both out west and in the SE, outstanding boots. For the price range you’re looking at, unless you catch something on a closeout, brands like Asolo, Keen, Salomon, etc are going to be a good fit for synthetic boots that will breathe in...

    Sanity Check - Reloading Process

    Apparently my skimming through did you a disservice, great minds… Well played sir, well played 🤣

    Sanity Check - Reloading Process

    Only thing I don’t see is confirming your scale/powder charges by secondary means, but that may be me oversimplifying it. I saw that you’re using an autotrickler setup, from what I understand those are supposed to be the cat’s pajamas once you get them dialed.

    Nature Conservancy and the Western Solar Project

    It’s hard to say this without coming off as broadcasting from my basement with a tinfoil hat on, but never underestimate the likelihood of shell companies and subsidiaries being used to mask total holdings.

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    If you haven’t tried it yet, I’d consider the 200gr ELD-X or 208gr ELD-M. Both are easy to find, easy to load, have a higher BC than the 178gr, and are proven rounds on anything in NA. I’ve taken ~20 animals with the 200gr and 11 with the 208gr in the last three years, no issues. Be wary of...

    Two Way Radio

    You’re going to be limited to basic CB/FRS radios and their range unless you go the Ham route which opens up higher watt transceivers and more frequencies. If you passed a high school physics class, you can pass the certification test with a few hours of reading.

    I appreciate the honest answer. Lizards aren’t really known for their fine cuisine 🤣
