    Chronograph’s - cheap vs expensive

    Whelen when I say I don't have experience with Caldwell I mean personally I've never used one. I however did not say that I haven't been next to one. I've had guys at the range ask to try mine and they have had better results, and throughly seem to enjoy it more. These rifles are not personally...

    Will they ever produce RL 26 again?

    I seen it not long ago online. Luckily I grabbed a bunch a few years back when I found it. When I was desperate for powder I checked a dozen places online every morning and found that often I could get my hands on the powder I was after.

    Chronograph’s - cheap vs expensive

    Garmin and labradar are definitely better quality. I don't have experience with Caldwell, but like most things you get what you pay for. I run a labradar personally.

    Tac vanes brittle?

    I haven't had any issues either. In fact the opposite. I was astonished on how tough and well they hold shape after going through something tough. Maybe a bad batch?

    Careers

    Union Ironworker myself, but any type of union work will give you what you want. Operators, Electrical, plumber, etc. Apply in the apprenticeship programs and never look back. Depending on the year I normally take 8-10 weeks off.

    Kenai River King Salmon - Circling the Drain

    Sure do miss fishing for those kings. Started going out to the Yetna, and even that river is taking a bad turn with a not so sure future. On top of many things it's sickening to watch what the trawler fleet does. Got this one back in 2019, and I'll probably never see a king this big again in my...

    Bino harness pain

    Kuiu pro harness for myself and ditch that moleskin. That shit sucks. Pick up leuko tape instead. Leuko tape will stay on for days sometimes weeks. Fortunately i dont need it, but many friends do although i still carry some. I should add I run many accessories on the Pro harness. Range finder...

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    Crow, nothing wrong with keeping it simple. When I pressure can salmon that's usually all I do. Smoke a few hours and jam into jars.

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    I do it in the house and don't have issues with the smell. After you pull it from the brine it shouldn't be that smelly. Some people's nose can be super sensitive to that though.

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    Post up a pic when done! Sockeye is definitely my favorite to smoke. With how rich the red is in them it makes some awesome looking smoked fish.

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    I struggle with 120, but their are a good handful of hacks that make it achievable to keep things under 170. With the pellet grill your hopper runs x amount of seconds for every minute, so if you allow heat to escape (which unfortunately allows the smokes to also) you can control temp. Simply...

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    Their's a fine line with smokers and I have a cheap gas one. I've found the only way I can achieve a low temp is to turn the dial opposite of low and get it to where it's almost about to shut off. That's the only way I have found with mine to keep it going good and still achieve a heavy smoke.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Annealed some 7 RM brass and didn't catch the house on fire. Winning!

    Favorite smoked salmon recipe.

    I've noticed that as long as I don't get above 165° and brush often I can keep the albumin away. This only works if that pellicle is on point though I've noticed.
