    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    6.5-284, 140gr ELDM, 2880fps muzzle velocity. Mule deer buck at about 40 yds in timber. He got up from his bed, took about 2 steps, and I had an unobstructed view of his shoulder. First round hit scapula and exited offside ribs. You can see the blood in the snow from that shot in the first...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    140gr eldm, 2880fps out of a 6.5x284 on a cow elk. Less than 100yds, more than 50, head shot on a cow elk from seated with trekking poles. Not my first choice of shots, but the only one I had and wobble zone was smaller than the eye socket. Not a great test of terminal effectiveness, but if...

    Stiker vs Hammer Fired Handguns, Reliability

    If you like the P365, I'd agree with others here to either buy a macro grip module and some 17rd mags, or get a 2nd pistol (you'll have a longer slide if you do this). Be aware holster compatibility between p365/x/XL and Macros is not a given due to different frame and trigger guard dimensions...

    Painless load development (mine)

    He's trying to distract you from the Rhodesian camo bag.... EDIT: When you got the S2H store and click on the jellyfish back, that option appears in the color menu as the page loads, then disappears....

    Over Barrel vs End of Barrel Suppressor

    https://ottercreeklabs.com/product/otb-muzzle/ EDIT: I think I misunderstood your reply and you're already aware of this. My bad.

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    Very happy with mine compared back to back with Leica geovid 3200 10x42 on a tripod.

    What Happened to Sitka?

    I seem to remember a euro-only sitka pattern that looks like the new one. I think one shot gear had a big sale on it several years back.

    First Western Rifle

    "Common" must mean the early rifle hunts that are all 20+ point draws. EDIT: those are all in October this year.

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I was at an outdoor range shooting pistols with the girl I was dating at the time, and the RO came over and asked if he could try a shot. We were shooting a Texas CHL target, which has very generous scoring zones, and a little mini silhouette on the top corner breaking down the point of each...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    What should practice look like once someone is doing well on the timed test outlined in form's practice thread.

    Switching from minutes to mils

    I've had a lot of success never thinking about anything other than mils, getting optics for spotting with mil reticles, and bullying hunting buddies into buying mil scopes as well.

    Precision gas gun, Form?

    I think you'll love it. I was at the range next to a guy with a Mk12, it was remarkable how quiet it was with the AEM suppressor vs my 12.5 gun with a JK armament can with 3 baffles.

    Changing main hunting rifle, what to do?

    Update on this, I went to the range with a new load using 140s instead of 156s and a milder powder charge. Very pleasant to shoot, but still not spotting hits. I will probably shoot out this barrel, then switch to a 6mm of some flavor. I realize I can just sell the VV N565 I have, so 6GT seems...

    Maven B.5 18x56 with reticle

    Quick update after a range day: Spotting 6.5mm holes in paper at 200 yds, no problem. Seeing hits on steel at 400-600yds, no problem. We used the binos to zero new loads and confirm velocity by measuring drops out to 600. The efficiency they bring to shooting trips is awesome. The concern about...

    Glass-Leica Geovid or Meopta MeoStar

    I had the Cabela's branded Meopta 10x42s (the most upscale ones offered, they were 1k retail in 2017) for 5 or 6 years before switching to Leica Geovid 10x42 3200s. I do not know if that is the Leica model you are interested in. My impressions have been from a pure glass standpoint, I was hard...

    Maven B.5 18x56 with reticle

    I went out to a local open space/preserve area this morning to test out the binos. I brought along my Leica 10x42s to compare. Both were used off a Sirui TO24sk tripod with a VA5 head. Caveat: I do not have time looking through a lot of glass, and the only 15x + binos I've looked through was a...

    Maven B.5 18x56 with reticle

    Has anyone used these? I have a set with a mil reticle on the way via the maven demo program. I'm hoping they will bridge the all day glassing comfort of a big bino with the quick correction ability of a spotter with a reticle. They will be a tripod mounted companion to my to Leica 10x42 geovid...
