    Tikka 300WSM w/ 1-11 Twist and Heavy Bullets

    Those are factory loaded ammo that I bought to see if the rifle liked the 200 ELDX. Federal is 2820 fps average and shoots really well. I’ve shot this to 725 yards and is impressively consistent for factory ammo. Hornady loaded is 2715 fps average, doesn’t shoot as well. I don’t remember...

    Tikka 300WSM w/ 1-11 Twist and Heavy Bullets

    My 300 WSM shoots the 200 ELD-x really well. Federal loaded version 10 shot group was one big hole about 0.75” across. Hornady loaded version doesn’t shoot quite as well for me.

    6mm ARC Velocities

    I’ve only shot a 5 round and then checked zero a few times and the zero check fell in the bull so I called it good. Used the 6 ARC Sunday to shoot a whitetail buck. 5 shot group, as shots 2-6 on the barrel, adjusted and shot the one in the diamond bull as shot 7. Took it to distance after...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    My Shaw portless is doing alright with AAC 77 TMK. 1.5” is about average for 5 shots. Some of that is me getting used to the light weight and trigger. I did have one group about an inch not counting a shot I called as me. Hoping as I get used to the rifle it can do a little better or I...

    Advice needed - cold bore issue, maybe?

    A lot of gunsmiths have to pull scope and rings to thread. I would remount everything after degreasing and then torque with your chosen thread locker. Gunsmiths like grease and oil, a lot of the old timers don’t like dry, degreased, and locked down.

    Pictures of loaded pack animals

    Few things finally went right this year. 4 elk quarters on each horse and neck meat from both elk on the grey so I tried a mantie and hitch to hold it. About the third time and a few miles later finally got it to hold.

    Sitka Ambient - 150g jacket (no hood) vs 100g jacket (with hood)

    Thanks. I have the 150 and vest. I don’t like hoods on this type of piece. Still waiting for low enough temps to test

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    Rokslide could solve all of this if Ryan would just come out with the scope already…

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    I have 4 tract scopes. Two Toric 1” 3-15x42, two Tekoa in 2-10 and 4-16. I can honestly say they have all dialed for me reliably and returned to zero. I ran tall target tests with all and they don’t leave me wondering if the scope is doing what it should. They were what I could afford at...

    Questions on Mechanical scales and check weights

    I bought a Lyman check weight set to calibrate a really old Redding beam scale with my chargemaster lite. I do check them, typically each time I load. The beam scale never moves, they are both on the same shelf on a solid wall. Throw charges on the chargemaster then put that on the Redding...

    Norma bondstrike

    Used the 300 WSM 180 to take two moose with my rifle last year. Worked well, I would say pretty similar to an accubond. No complaints from me. They shoot well and I’ve taken them to 600 yards on gongs with an adjusted BC value I found online.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Dang those are light! 6-32 tap worked well and I clipped a little spring off since the screw took up some of the spring area.

    6mm ARC Velocities

    Very well. 108 Eldm. One round to get close to point of aim. Rounds 2-6 are in the 5 shot group. Adjusted vertical and shot 7 is in the bull. Shot 8 was dead center on the gong at 425 and shots 9-10 were on the gong at 571 one upper right and one lower left. All shot from a molinator and...

    6mm ARC Velocities

    New Bear Creek 16” barrel in AR side charge upper. 108 ELDM factory. Shots 1-7 over the LabRadar averaged 2480 fps and my drops seemed to line up well to 571 yards. I shot the 103 ELDx as well and agree accuracy was similar but didn’t put that velocity in my app because the 108 shot so well.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Another questions since this thread has most of the info on Ultralight and the various parts options. TN arms carbon lower. FarrowTech butt and A2 buffer. I ordered the tap from farrow tech for the rear takedown retention pin hole. Tap is 4-40 and almost slides right in the hole without...

    Pants for thick legs

    Each model is a little unique with the fit. Guides are the most generous and I’ve tried the majority of their pant models.
