    Would you Deny a FFL Transfer over this?

    Would depend if it’s a common model or a I have been looking for years for one. Common, I would refuse it and get a different one. If it was something that I had been looking for and could not find easily, time to negotiate a partial refund and get it fixed or live with it.

    What’s going on with the Factory Hornady 7 PRC ammo?????

    It is if it’s a different powder. Different burn speed, so it hits pressure at lower speeds.

    Suppressor wait times getting faster

    No, it doesn’t matter. They have automated the process and provided your background goes through quickly it’s a quick approval. If you do a trust or your name is common, then the background check is the delay.

    Inguinal Hernia & surgery?

    I had 3 done at one time and no way I could have made that trip on that timeframe. Would have been 6-8 months before I could do that. My step dad, had a single done and he might have been able to make the trip. Really depends on the person and the surgery.

    1 large or 2 medium size gun safes?

    I would go large. The advantage of a big safe is the height. When I got into long range and shotguns, I needed more height. If moving is an issue , zanotti armory. Their safes come apart. Heaviest part is the door. Maybe it’s just me, but I won’t store powder, ammo, primers in a safe...

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Your trap has a latch like we added to the one I have. So the mfg has made changes to address the flaw.

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Coons easily break out of the live traps. The locking bar can slip if they push hard enough and they can. The trap I used was modified by adding a secondary lock to keep that from happening. Now they don’t get out.

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Check you state laws on relocation. Iowa, it is not legal to relocate. You either have to let it go where trapped or dispose of it.

    A few suppressor questions

    Note that a few cans like the scythe have brakes as the front of the can. I have not tried one yet, but I hear they do make a difference that can be detected. The down side is they are louder. If you search you should find a test or two.

    A few suppressor questions

    Longer barrels are slightly quieter. It’s not much, maybe a few db at most. Not enough to be something I would chase. Length and weight are a bigger issue imho. Length is less important than having a bunch of weight hanging 2 ft in front of your hands. Where I hunt I often shoot offhand and...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Probably the same reason really long range shooters use them. Better BC and more powder so they can go further before going too slow for the bullet to work. I don’t think modern sniper rifles are ultralight 8 lb rifles either. Even those who suggest using a 223 know it won’t make a 800+ yard...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I agree, small and fast is not the same as big and slow. I started to use large (45) cal subsonics last year. Took two whitetail and the big slow bullets seemed to put the deer down faster. No idea why, but neither went far. The two years before I used 35 cal rifles and was successful, but...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    That’s not true at all of the Hornady A-max load. It’s not sub 2000 fps until over 1000 yards. They are not fast, usually 2600-2800 fps, but the A-max has a g1 over 1. Very little velocity lost compared to 6.5 or 30 cal. It’s also a 30+ lb rifle with a huge brake, not your typical backpack...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    No one here is arguing that a larger bullet going faster doesn’t have more energy. The argument is once you have enough energy, why suffer more recoil to have more when it doesn’t result in a more dead animal. That extra recoil effects accuracy and how much you practice. No one can say they...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Interesting that the airgun world doesn’t talk in velocity, but instead talks about energy. I think it’s due to the fact that they all shoot the same basic lead blob. No way to change lethality without going faster or heavier. Turns out a squirrel or rabbit don’t need much energy to be...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    It has to be less than 500ftlbs to be lethal on a human as most handguns are well below that threshold.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I think one thing people forget or for new shooters have never experience, there were not the same selection of bullets when the laws and rules on energy were created. If everyone was limited to 1960’s bullets, yes bigger would do a lot more damage. There were not any tmk bullets to make a 22...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Iowa has a 35 cal minimum for white tail and Colorado is 6 mm/243.

    Suppressor wait times

    Depends on how your trust is written. Some have a schedule with all the items in the trust, mine does not.

    Close-Range Woods Scope

    I know it’s cheap, I have a lot of barrels so can’t afford $500+ Per. I have used the vortex crossfire 2 1-4 for my 45-70 SBR. So far I have been happy with it, hits most of your points except drop on reticle. The illuminated dot is helpful at low light. I have used it out to 150 yards and...
