I’m seriously thinking about going with turf. Easy clean up after the dogs, no water, no mowing, no weeding = more time shooting, camping, scouting, and fishing 😏
I’m heavily loaded up on 75 eldm and 77smk. Have shot a few boxes of 55 grain vmax factory as well. It all shoots well enough.
I shoot steel, paper, took it blacktail hunting this last year, and it’s my primary truck gun so it gets used a fair amount.
Natchez has lapua brass in stock it says
Edit- Never mind. They don’t.
I guess I am the outlier here but I shoot all kinds of brass without much issue. Hornady brass seems to be the worst but I’ll still load it and bang away. Winchester has been pretty decent, along with Remington. I obviously...
the easiest thing to do is shoot it. If a random fire forming load shot 1.5 MOA I’d say you’ll be fine. I’d be more concerned if that was near the muzzle. But again I’d shoot it first before I got too bothered
How come few ever talk about the strange, primal joy of dispatching your quarry quickly? Few things bring me the feeling of a “bang-flop”. there’s something oddly satisfying about it - like society says I shouldn’t feel this way but I sure as hell do. Sure I always have a tinge of grief but this...
Have astigmatism as well. Wear glasses pretty much all week at work. Contacts on the weekend for shooting and outdoors stuff. I hate fogging glasses, and need the ability to put sunglasses on and off outdoors. I have the monthly contacts and can keep them in for a few days without any discomfort...
This is an opinion piece, and almost reads like satire lol. I clicked the guys bio and in a different article he talks about how he’s been hunting for 20-some years. How the hell can a hunter have this opinion? We moved to Oregon 2 years ago and live in a small town. People in Eugene and...
Maybe an unpopular opinion. Illumination in a hunting scope is a feature that adds price and weight for something I never use. Please give me a simple, robust, and repeatable scope and save me the $100? (arbitrary dollar amount) by omitting illumination.
The unfortunate thing is there’s probably a fair number of shooter’s especially those relatively new or the many that just don’t know what they don’t know that take Backfire as gospel. “Gotta have that ‘knock-down’ power!” 🤨
I really wish someone would’ve went out there with a 223, .243, 6.5cm, 6cm, etc hunting rifle and cleaned the course. Maybe that backfire dude would quit being such a fudd about what a “hunting caliber” is
