    Hoffman Pac Boots - When do you use your Pacs? Win a free pair!!

    there are a couple conditions which will cause a switch to pacs. First and most common is wet weather at work or hunting. I have bad luck with gortex boots keeping my feet dry, so i switch to pacs and a gator when its real wet. I will also switch to a pac when the snow is deeper or its a bit...

    50 Yards and Durable Targets.

    Crispi Summits leaking?

    my experience with lots of boots is this... the stiffer the boot, the longer they stay waterproof. i dont care who made the boot, if you bend,flex and compress that gor-tex liner over and over again its gonna leak sooner than later. my flexible boots always leak first where the toe portion of...

    3W Stove ?

    im sure it works fine. if your concerned about it, spend about 100$ LESS and try a well known stove like a kifaru or something of the like.

    caliber suggestions on future build

    Fast twist 270wsm would be my choice. on a mag bolt face, i think your better off sticking with wsm, saum length magnum cases. that way you have bullet seating room and maximize the powder capacity of the given cartridge. I would twist the barrel for some of the heavier Hammer Bullets

    Ladder test vs velocities

    i would just load a few at 77, see if the group holds and quit wasting components. but then again, im not going to chase 15fps more velocity or try and take .1in off my groups..

    300wsm reloading advice

    If there was data for a 180gr barnes i would probably start with the middle 180gr load. if not, i would start with the starting loads or a touch less for a cup-and-core 180gr bullet. If you just shoot 1rd/ powder charge you can work up quick to find what your working max load is without wasting...

    300wsm reloading advice

    I have had great results with H4350 and 180gr class bullets in my 300wsm. no experience with the barnes though. Ive been loading 1rd each in .5gr increments and keep climbing until i hit pressure signs then back off .5 gr to find my max....shoot all rounds at the same bulls eye and you will...

    Humbled Again

    I cant imagine very much. If you hit shoulder your probably screwed either way. If you impact the vital area, your good either way. What arrow weight and speed do you expect to get out of the 45# blacktail? apologies ifs mentioned earlier.

    COOLER PREPARATION

    milk jugs are good, but also freeze up some water bottles or smaller jugs of some kind. when you fill the cooler with meat, you wont be able to fit the milk jugs in anymore. use those smaller bottles to pack in around the meat.
