    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    These are the ones I'm leaning towards. If anybody has any experience with them, I'd appreciate any feedback. https://egrusa.com/products/fender-flares/baseline/egr-baseline-standad-style-fender-flares-fits-0713-chevy-silverado

    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    The ones that aren't 4" wide off the fender with fake a$$ bolts in them. :ROFLMAO: Seriously though, looking for similar to OEM flares. Just need some protection on exposed metal around fender opening since I live and drive a lot of gravel. I'll be adding splash/mud guards to them too, so...

    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a quality set of discrete fender flares (not the ones with the fake bolts) and splash guards for my 2009 Silverado 2500. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    Thank you and my bad. I transposed the .5 and .7 in my head. The 134 is .2 better windage at 300.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    At 300 yards, my 134 load at 2820 is deflected .2 more compared to 115 at 3100.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    I may have to experiment with some Retumbo and N560 in my 25-284 with the 115. With a 22" barrel I should still be scratching 3,100. With the added speed, ballistics at 500 with a 15mph wind are pretty close to my 134 ELDM load. Looks like .3 Mils better in elevation and .3 worse in windage...

    My impression was that his available 25-06 barrel is factory 1:10. However, I totally agree that if rebarreling to a new barrel a 1:7.5 would cover every scenario.

    Are you saying the 25-06 barrel is factory with 1:10 twist? If so, then yes, the 115 NBT, 117 VLD, and 120 Fusion are all well regarded bullets for big game. On Ammo Seek the 120 Fusion can be had for around $33/box plus shipping. The NBT is less than $30/box.

    Trophy bucks of Iowa and youth season

    Welcome to RS! This is an incredible place to learn about all things Western hunting, shooting, etc... Being an Iowa native, my mind was blown with much of the content on here from other folks from across the country, and my beliefs and "facts" have been challenged and proven wrong many times...

    Rebarreling rifle

    Agree that 6.5 CM or 7-08 are excellent options that have equally if not slightly better long range potential with less recoil. Both are generally ubiquitous for factory ammo as well.
