    Am i Under-spined?

    If you get good groups at 90 yds, you're not under spined.

    Tikka 7mm08 w/140 accubond extra coal needed?

    Yep, he was helping me out a ton. Just didn't find one my gun liked. Being in California I have to use copper any how so it's not a big deal. This was at 232 yds so the TTSX definitely work.

    Tikka 7mm08 w/140 accubond extra coal needed?

    They still have a lot of jump with the factory chamber. The original intent of the long action set up was to make case room for the 150 eldx. I just never found a load the gun liked.

    7mm 120 ttsx

    It's noticable. A 150 recoils harder than a 120 in mine. Neither are what I'd consider unreasonable but you can tell. I have two Tikkas: 45 of R15, BR2, 120 TTSX, standard oal is around 3150. 48.5 of CFE223, CCI250, 2.9 oal using a long action bolt stop and mag, 3246. Both are basically...

    Tikka 7mm08 w/140 accubond extra coal needed?

    The 162 will definitely benefit from the long action set up. I tried some 150's and it was definitely needed.

    Tikka 7mm08 w/140 accubond extra coal needed?

    LA stop with a LA mag for mine. I believe I load to 2.95 oal with a 120 TTSX.

    Does the 223/6mm for everything change when hunt cost $$$

    If you're already thinking that you'll need "more" gun because you may "need" to take a questionable shot, you should probably be rethinking whether or not to spend 100k on a hunt. Monetary output should not factor into ethics.

    Any 12 hour night shift workers?

    Same for me, around 11. I stop drinking around midnight, off at 0400, in bed at 0500, gotta pee at 11'ish. Totally kills my sleep as I get up at 1230 or 1 and usually can't get back to sleep.

    Any 12 hour night shift workers?

    Been doing it for 20+ years. It's brutal, never found a way to avoid the fatigue and horrible sleep. We just weren't designed for being up all night, especially as we age. We're so short staffed I do 60 hrs one week, 48 the next. No breaks/lunch and constantly on the move. Thankfully August will...

    I stopped by Bass Pro Shops on my way home yesterday. This is insanity!

    Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday was around 45/lb. Not great but far better than BPS, which has always been higher priced from what I've experienced.

    Nightshifters

    I meal prep for my work week. It's the only way to eat healthy at night. One meal, some sort of snack, protein bar. I bought one of those heating lunch packs for dinners. Works awesome. 20+ years of night shift will be over for me in August. I cannot freakin wait!

    7mm-08 not producing decent groups with Accubonds

    In my Tikkas, R15 and CFE223 have given the best results with the 120TTSX. I use a mag primer with the CFE, BR2 with the R15. That said, has your rifle ever produced what you would consider a good/reasonable sized group? Some barrels are just duds.

    Which of the classic calibers in .270, .30-06 or .308 if shooting solid copper only?

    I would say if you don't reload, pick the caliber most readily available to you. Other than that, they'll all do what you ask of them.
