    New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?

    In hindsight I think are better way to ask this @Formidilosus ... If a bullet can achieve maximum expansion is it ever too light to have enough penetration to the vitals or if by nature of being at maximum expansion is the speed enough? Could a 95 grain 243 bullet using the above example have...

    New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?

    Thanks @Formidilosus and @Macintosh you both were helpful. I guess where I am still getting some paralysis by analysis is that if the DRT ammo continues to limit their .243 bullets to 95 grain is this a serious issue in using such out of a 6CM? Especially to a rifle build with the intent to take...

    New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?

    FWIW I don't know Form although I do know Mark and Steve through both owning an EXO but also via NW Sportsman's Show. I went down the smaller is better rabbit hole well over a year ago. before I heard Form and before the Experience Podcast highlighted this as well. Although I am glad they are...

    New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?

    I will admit I did not read through all the pages on this but it is something I've been debating myself. Right now, by the way, I shoot a 6.5 PRC with 147 grain DRTs They are not making the 147 grain anymore who knows if they ever will again... I also know that all of their products are out of...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Replacement blade knives are a hard no for me from the trash to the replacing while having cold or bloody hands to just carrying more shit. Fixie all the way. Get a high quality steel knife like SV35 or 45 or Elmax and you won't sharpen for multiple animals unless you are bushcrafting with it...

    Recipes for antelope

    Bi bim nap pronghorn is pretty damned tasty. Or to keep it more simple do the S&P method but make a chimichuri for with it. Pronghorn chimichuri is dang tough to beat.

    Need rifle advice.. Thinking about selling my .308

    First off if you want a new rifle that is the best reason to buy a new rifle. :-) Regardless of your other rifles. That said with what you've stated to 400 yards a 6.5 creedmoor as another poster mentioned would be exactly what I would go with... you don't need the recoil of the larger calibers...

Don't worry locals I am not ruining anything you do recall the number of non-resident tags is capped?!? If you like send me a...

    Protect Oregon's Spring Bear Hunt!

    Fortunately here a tie is not a cancellation and with the Commission on hand I am cautiously optimistic we will maintain the Spring Bear hunt. That said the more voices the better!

    RMEF supporting Oregon's spring bear hunt

    I'd also love to see people writing in directly address that HSUS comments are not based in facts and that bear hunting (a low-success endeavor) is not only highly sustainable (considering there are upwards of 40000 bear in the state and the harvest last yr was 2205 bears for the entire year...

    Bicep tendonitis

    I second what the above poster states. I have strained tendons in elbow and hand from lifting and competitive sports. I had patellar tendonitis once and oh F me was that debilitating. I couldn't even bend my knee. The only solution per docs orders rest, ice, elevate. I had to basically hobble...

    Hip rubbing/cuts from pack belt

    Maybe this belt I started using could help? https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/low-profile-belt-for-cheap-video.370546/ And as many others said tuck in the shirt? For any time under tension any clothing can fold or crease and act like a saw against your skin. Even a seam inside a shirt can...
