    NEW 338ARC, what say ye?

    He admitted he designed the 8.6 for SBR's. Hornady went for the masses with carbine length barrels.

    NEW 338ARC, what say ye?

    This is what my 450 Bushmaster did at 100 yards. (I was not the shooter) There is no such thing as too dead, but there is such a thing called too much meat damage. It is a fun range toy, but I will never hunt with it unless Dragons are involved.

    NEW 338ARC, what say ye?

    The 300BO will always be cheaper to shoot because it uses 223 brass and 30 cal bullets will never go away.

    NEW 338ARC, what say ye?

    Plus the ability to us 9mm pistol cans. I think Texas pig hunters are going to love it. For people with Savage 6ARCs or a 6ARC gas gun, it is a cheap switchover. I switch though. I love the 6ARC in my Savage.

    Do you take your suppressor off?

    The only reason I don't leave mine is the length of my bag. I am too cheap to get another bag.

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    I have a pre-64 Model 94. I cannot use iron sights. It will be a gift to one of my kids. I have a 1980's M700 is excellent condition that I inherited from my dad. I hope to pass it to a child as well.

    Caliber Crystal Ball - Can you predict the future?

    During their podcast, I was frustrated by the thought thatnpeople would need to buy a new rifle can. When they said it would work with a 9mm can, I thought that they have a winner.

    Nightforce SHV Reticle Advice

    I am thinking of buying a NF SHV in 4- p14, but haven't decided on the appropriate hunting reticle. I am looking for a scope that is tough and SFP. I might take some longer shots, but this will never be used for ELR hunting or competition. My main concern is finding a reticle that has an...

    A Giraffe with a 6UM

    I have a question unrelated to your choice of bullet (I will never get to hunt giraffe). Were you able to bring a trophy (Pelt? back?

    Pretty proud of my DIY Tikka 30-06 build/mod

    I thought we could not swap bolt faces on Tikka's. How would you convert it to 7 PRC?

    Improved accuracy factory 280ai ammunition?

    In terms of accuracy, mine loves the Hornady 162g Precision Hunter load. But, I am working up loads with sturdier bullets.

    I hope you enjoy yours. Mine arrives at the FFL today. I plan to use it as a trainer rifle for my kids and myself.

    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    If the other two rifles are accurate enough (and light), why change to get "more" accurate? Dead is dead?

    Why Match/Target Bullets For Hunting

    Listening to the podcast, I had a vision of a 1/2 dowel rod poking through an animal. It simply cannot do as much tissue damage as something with a wider wound channel.

    What Newer Rifle Rounds Do You Think Will or Will Not Stick Around?

    The 6ARC has been a hit for Hornady and is not going away. The 6CM is just a modern, upgraded version of the 243. I think it will gradually take market share from the 243, but I am not 100% sure. I doubt it will go away in my lifetime. I had a lightweight hunting rifle in 243, a Ruger...

    TIKKA Stainless - Phasing it out?

    1) I plan to shoot the crap out of it. I just don't think burning out a 223 barrel too quickly is a relevant consideration. I would simply buy a prefit barrel and swap it out myself. 2) I live and shoot in Texas. During my hunting trip last year in East Texas woods, it was like hunting in...
