Yeah screw that, im bringing both gun and spray if I'm gonna be around grizzlies! What if the wind is blowing strong right at you when you encounter one?
Same. If we screw around too much with this cartridge it'll need a new barrel before we even kill anything with it lol. Not expecting decent barrel life whatsoever in mine
Yeah that also makes sense man. I only had 2lbs of 570 and 3lbs of h1000 and have like 12+lbs of both 565 and RL26 so that definitely factored into my choice as well. I saw you starting out well with 570 so I gave it a shot too initially. The primers arent as flat as other loads I've ran in...
Yeah thats a long sucker lol, im jealous. But then again, my gun is shooting great and im happy with the velocity for the barrel length so why fix what aint broke
Its definitely shorter than @huntnful's, cause i know he has a special reamer for his and my barrel is just whatever reamer PBB uses if you select that chambering..
Im actually not sure what the COAL is, havent measured it and im currently out of the country for another week. Its shorter than...
Hmm that isnt the case for my suppressed 17" PBB tho. 565 was 170fps faster with the same charge of 60gr, I cant even fit enough 570 in the case to hit pressure but 60.5gr 565 gave me stiff bolt lift. Im getting 3110 with 60gr of 565 but it is still speeding up i think, only 120 rounds down the...
Mine is a 1/8 twist too, the 88's are stable at sea level and are shooting really good, plan to rebarrel with another 1/8 when the time comes. Velocity is 3040
Yes. They're a refrigerated product but they last over a week even if its hot out while im backpacking, the outside of them just get a bit oily from the oils in them.
If you get the chocolate chip ones, the chips they use do contain some sugar tho. Same with the chocolate coating on their...
I load up pretty heavy on mine and havent had any issues yet. I have both versions and much prefer the more adjustable and spendy version. They arent the most solid bipod I've used by a long shot, but for the weight they work just fine and I have no trouble shooting to 1000 with them. I bought...
I developed target panic so I decided to kind of reset a few years ago. I switched to a thumb release with a matching back tension that I used first before switching to the thumb button permanently. It helped me but I was shooting slightly worse for a couple months than I did with the index...
I wear the marsupial belt daily and for non backcountry hunts, the buckle is very slim and easy to take on and off. In the backcountry i usually use the argali one with the knife sharpening features, buckle is still small but i may just use the marsupial this season since i actually havent had...
Yup! Honestly, im currently being tattooed so i was a bit distracted during all my posts in this thread so far lol. Im all for hashing out discussions, i think i was basically just trying to say something along the lines of the constant jumping to negativity gets old for me. Some people dont...
