    Ab raptor vs scythe vs enticer s ti???

    Yeah I ordered mine before that thread came up (iirc it was the full bore ones folks had issues with?). I need to shoot more with mine but the very initial impression is it didn't seem to affect accuracy on that rifle/ammo.

    Ab raptor vs scythe vs enticer s ti???

    I think mine was in the 13s if I recall correctly (I think the reflex is 3oz more) but yeah in that ballpark.

    Ab raptor vs scythe vs enticer s ti???

    I did. Mine with the 5/8-24 adapter was 8.9oz on my scale. I put a few rounds of 243win through it after a hunt last week but I was tired and knew the family was wanting me home so I didn't play around too much. I shot one without ear pro and was pleased in terms of volume and then half dozen...

    6mm Creedmoor and .243 dies the same?

    Sizing, esp. full length? No. You may be able to use your seating die depending on the die specifics.

    Dear Tikka….if you’re listening.

    Wishful thinking or you hearing anything of merit?

    6 Creed vs Fast Twist 243ai

    My 284win PBB shoots well so far but I was leaning PVA for a creed barrel.

    6 Creed vs Fast Twist 243ai

    It looks like PVA starts their sale tomorrow. PBB usually has a sale too (a few month lead time with the sale).

    Ammo speed BS ?

    24-26" are the common lengths of velocity test barrels. Many cartridges loose at least 25fps per inch (even more when getting into short barrels and less with longer barrels) and some can loose closer to 50fps depending on the powder and ammo combination. Then you get into faster/slower...

    6 Creed vs Fast Twist 243ai

    I love nerding out about combinations but to he honest just step back and ask what does 150fps do realistically in terms of practicality of hunting/shooting compared to the fact there is lots of easy brass and even quality ammo available in 6creed. Also if you want to pick up a little distance...

    Ammo speed BS ?

    Do you have a 24-26" barrel on your gun?

    With this in mind do you have a ROUGH timeline when 6.5-284 is cycling back through again?

    CO 1st rifle experience different than prior years

    I think you were blessed. I haven't hunted 1st rifle for 2 years but hunted it for a number of years prior and ran into low rut activity, usually only the days prior and a tiny bit the first morning until the shots started (maybe day 2 also if no shots). One year heavy snow chased us lower and...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    I haven't hunted with them yet but I'm going to try the leigh controlled chaos 140gr bullet designed for a 30-30, I also have some hornady monoflex 140s to try. Not sure what hunt is on my horizon to use this rifle yet though.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    It depends on the brake I think. I had previously used MBM brakes and never experienced pressure as a shooter and didn't know why folks were commenting about it but I used a PVA jet blast this year and noticed that pressure blast as the shooter.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    The whole point on the lower recoil cartridges (which can be taken to an extreme but lets not assume that) isn't necessarily about first shot flinch which yes it can be trained out to a degree. Its about spotting impacts and follow up shots. All chest beating aside NO ONE always has 1 shot kills...
