    Why am I so much more accurate with a .22 pistol than a centerfire?

    What’s the best thing he can do?

    Spotting your shots

    I’ve found that a good muzzle brake doesn’t help keep me from blinking. A louder bang usually makes me blink even if it’s somebody else shooting. Having a suppressor has helped me. I still blink though

    That’s what I’ve got. They shoot fine.

    Federal Premium Gold Medal 6mm Creedmoor Ammo 105 Grain Berger Hybrid Target Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 20

    Thanks! I got 5 boxes to have as backup but now I’m thinking it wouldn’t hurt to double it.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    You could do one on why your bino harness has a bag in it that is a last resort, and when it’s opened your trip is over. I’d like to hear one on the fundamentals of marksmanship, and why each part matters. Things like how much pressure to have against your shoulder or being relaxed or thumb...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    3) As for elk hunting with a 223 (still blows my mind... but it has been well documented and proven!) Is it taking 2, 3, 4 shots on average to bring them down or are 85%+ one shot and down kills? (Yes, I know of and have seen many magnum hunters put multiple rounds in an elk before they tip...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Formidilosus - I couldn’t find the details on the contents of your emergency stash in your bino harness that you only open in a real emergency that’s the cue to you that you need to end your trip. Can you go over what’s in that and why you started doing that?

    Shoot2Hunt University

    The most important thing I can say about this class is that being able to attend it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I mean it. To anyone interested in the class - it really is something you will look back on as a pivotal point in your shooting ability. I was in the first class, and I want...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    If all you’re after is a wool sweater, I think most anything will do. One of the things that sets this one apart is how they sewed the arms on. It fits great and allows you to really use your arms without it pulling it around.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I just had a chance to meet up with friends I haven’t seen in a while and told them about my hunting season. A deer and elk, one shot apiece, ran less than 50 yards and dead with the 223. I thought it would spark some interest in the little bullet but one of them says to me, “Hell I’ll loan you...

    Post 7219 should clear it up for you. Two pages back.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I don’t know the answer to this but I’d like to. I’m guessing 4 inches to get from hide to inside of the chest cavity broadside. Not through the shoulder, which would be more, but apparently not enough more to matter to hornady black 62s.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    The original post asks what happens when, in what order, and why. The point is to understand it and avoid problems. I don’t think that repeatedly saying to not shoot hot loads has anything to do with the question.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I watched that when you posted about it before. O forgot exactly but I think he talked about moisture in the barrel acting like a lubricant and causing lower pressure and less velocity on cold bore shots. My gunsmiths theory on why the first shot is regularly slower on the chrono has to do with...

    ON THE FENCE ABOUT A TIKKA?

    I now know more about tikkas than any other manufacturer. Interesting about their triggers and the perpendicular seer.

    Tikka bolts

    That’s awesome. If I’d started with tikka for my 223, I’d be a barrel and one of these bolts away from a 22 creed. Have you ever found their actions sold alone for less than the price of a full rifle?

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    That thread on incipient case head separation was awesome. And interesting that they said being over pressure isn’t necessarily causing that failure, just the over working of the brass. Thanks!

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Is there any way to tell that a CHS is on the way? Let’s say you have 12 firings at a moderate load on Lapua brass but you’ve been bumping 6 thousandths every time. Is there some sort of sign that one is coming soon?

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I think this is going in a fruitless direction.
