    6mm-284 lets hear it!

    I have a Tikka I've rebarreled to 6.5-284. I've loved the performance on game, but wouldn't mind a 6mm faster than the Creedmoor case to reduce recoil from my 6.5 and still give good velocity in a much shorter (18-20") barrel. What would I need to reload 6-284? I have a Hornady match 2 die set...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    He's said before 1800 fps is the lower end for reliable upset from ELDX/M/TMKs, Berger hunting bullets you really want 1900fps or above

    9mm home defense

    I can remember when all the people shot with 9mm (124gr Gold Dot) by my department died at the scene, while all those shot by .45 (200gr Gold Dot) had to be fought to get them on the ambulance. Hits matter more than cartridge given the bullets meet some criteria Except there are downsides to a...

    Colorado Assault Weapons Ban

    I will be holding my breath until there's a bill to prevent going above treeline in the afternoon in late summer.....

    Colorado Assault Weapons Ban

    Fair enough, I appreciate you providing links to look over. I'm in full agreement with the part I bolded, the best way to avoid being a homicide victim is not engaging in organized criminal activity. Do that, and your chances of getting murdered start to look vanishingly small.

    Colorado Assault Weapons Ban

    Depends on the definition you use. Kind of like what is an "assault weapon", it's whatever is politically expedient. If you use the definition of 3 or more killed in a single incident, I would bet a large sum of money that your assertion is wrong. If the bill is signed, it'd be in effect July...

    Colorado Assault Weapons Ban

    Sorry, we're not allowed to talk about the fact that multiple gun laws were already broken by most of the people involved in crime with a gun. That 15 year old in Aurora that bought a gun off Snapchat? This ban will TOTALLY solve that problem. Denver city council passed a concealed carry ban in...

    9mm home defense

    Why? Is it the marginally greater expanded diameter? The increased recoil? The higher cost for training ammo? The lower capacity for a given size? For the OP: something shown to achieve at least 12" of penetration in calibrated gel with expansion when passing through a variety of barriers, that...

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    12.5", and it is suppressed, which is why I went SBR in the first place. Nice and fast up close (usually .17-.19 splits inside of 10yds on a USPSA A-zone) and plenty capable at 400yds and beyond with an NX8 1-8 too. Great gun for protection anywhere you can have more than a pistol.

    AR and SBR Recommendations

    I've only drawn and had my finger on the trigger for a person (3 of them) once, but the only thing remarkable was how unremarkable it was in the moment. Clear shirt, acquire proper grip, draw, front sight on sternum, just like the myriad practice reps. The "oh crap" came after. Your "less...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Currently own a staccato P and p365xl. The 2011 is noticeably easier to shoot. Dot never leaves the a zone inside of 10 yards, and I do not try to muscle the gun. You can shoot as fast as you can see.

    Nrl hunter match strategy question

    Thanks y'all. I've never really used holdovers, but am going to go test it with a timer vs dialing in simulated hunting shots at the range today. I use the same sequence outlined above, but wanted to check and make sure I wasn't missing anything.

    Nrl hunter match strategy question

    Where in the process of getting into position are you dialing elevation? I've been dry practicing going from seated with rifle over a pack to prone behind the gun and dialing with a par timer, and can't find a good place to dial other than as I'm getting behind the gun, then confirming I have...

    Concealed carry belt

    I also have a couple of mastermind tactics belts. It's also great to go through TSA precheck without removing my belt.

    Why do we buy soft shells?

    This is exactly how I view it. SG DeHavilland due to the giant underarm vents, and never take it off until it's time to sleep. I use it most for 4th and late season hunts where it might not get above freezing, or late season pronghorn doe hunts with howling wind.

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    I kinda want to see Form recommend something as a joke and watch fwafwow buy it.

    Can holdover be more accurate than dialing in a hunting scope?

    @TaperPin then from 100-200 I'd be holding bottom third of the deer? Edit to add: how would I account for wind with a mil based reticle? I saw your correction for a 10mph wind, but what about 3mph? 7? Not trying to be a smartass, I want to understand so I can give this method a fair shake when...

    Can holdover be more accurate than dialing in a hunting scope?

    I expected nothing less. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Ok, so I want to go test this in a few weeks, weather permitting. I've got a 6.5-284 shooting berger 156gr elite hunters (G1 BC .679, G7 BC .347) at 2850fps, a SWFA 3-9x42 in mils, and will be shooting at roughly 7800ft ASL in...

    Can holdover be more accurate than dialing in a hunting scope?

    Honest question, are 3 gun matches analogous enough to hunting that we can draw any conclusions from them? Won't competitors know the distance ahead of time, and have to engage multiple targets at a variety of distances with rifles that essentially do not move in recoil?

    Can holdover be more accurate than dialing in a hunting scope?

    I really want to see this put on a timer with hits tracked (ie not just did you hit steel), in field conditions. I'm trying to think of a way to do this myself, but I don't see myself getting out to a place I haven't been before that has enough room for this anytime soon. @TaperPin...
