    Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223

    guys.. 75 or 77 grain bullets loaded to 2.25” in factory 556 to feed in ARs ain’t going to “jam into the lands” of a 223 chamber. That said, I did have heavier bolt lift with some 556 ammo in my tikka factory 223 barrel. Nothing big but it was there. I promise the presssures were lower than...

    Best 308 Bullet

    Typical short range whitetail stuff I’d probably look at 150 nosler ballistic tips. A little further shots possible maybe 168 Sierra TMK.

    (Another) 280AI Western Hunting Rifle Build (prefit)

    The primary thing I could take away from the info you provided is one is faster than the other. Otherwise I don’t think there is enough difference in group size to conclusively tell you anything. Same with speed. A given load could easily put out 5 shot SD/ES matching the numbers from both loads...

    Over Barrel vs End of Barrel Suppressor

    Man, that’s sounds awesome at first glance for my polo k but needing the OPS inc collar adapter thingy in addition to the reflex is a bummer.

    Help choose new cartridge.

    I'd just go on killing whatever with a 25 creed and be happy with the extra $ in your wallet. The heavy 7mm bullets are going to be a fair bit longer than ideal to stuff in a 2.950" mag. 175 Elite hunter berger for example would have the bearing surface stuffed below the case mouth to fit. I...

    Best current deals on tikka donor.

    Thanks, very convenient since I live close to a store and thus don't need to coordinate shipping with another FFL.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    The post you quoted was from 5 years ago by a guy that I think has been banned for a while now.

    Nah, chicks digs scars, or something like that. Nice work.

    Sig Sauer Kilo 10k Gen 2 Rangefinder Binos out!

    Custom curve is ABs full drag model for a given bullet so BC adjusts with velocity. That is the best baseline to start with. 1.0 is the generic value they give it because it isn’t a constant bc. I’ve just left it alone and had good results with Bergers and JLKs. Works good for hornady thus far...

    What rifle?

    Which action to buy

    That was my initial plan actually. I already have a spare tikka bravo and just spinning up a new barrel for the fuzion costs as much or more than a 24” CTR barreled action with trigger. I’ve played the musical chairs barrel game and it’s a headache. Way better to leave things setup.

    Which action to buy

    Really would like to build an NRL hunter rifle on a vesper or lone peak fuzion but came to the realization I could get a tikka action with trigger and CTR take off barrel for 1/4 of the cost of a vesper, trigger, and barrel and not be limited at all by that for the application. For a gamer...

    Anyone familiar with Alamo’s APR VL Action?

    Does it do it with other ammo as well? I’ve heard of that happening with nosler in many cartridges.

    Tikka 223 magazine

    Not related to the factory bottom metal but I saw MDT came out with a poly 12 round 223 AICS pattern mag now as well which is pretty cool. I’ll probably grab one if I decide to keep my 223 in the bravo.

    Geissele Super 700 Equivalent?

    I’ve had one on the shelf for a couple years, was just thinking I should sell it..

    good chrono #s, use G7 on solver to adjust BC to true your dope?

    something to consider- having solid chrono numbers from a recent range trip and using that velocity while gathering dope is different than knowing what the velocity was on the shots you’re using to true or gather dope. This is where the Doppler chronos really shine because you can know the...

    What piece of gear do you wish existed?

    Make a ghillie blanket to match a beanfield, use with a backboard. Back when I used to waterfowl hunt a lot over a decade ago we went mostly to the silosock blinds that are basically exactly that but the blanket wasn’t specific to a given field.
