    Hornady Interlock .308 Breaking Apart in Mid-air

    I'd probably contact Hornady with the lot number and ask some questions. Me being me, I'd probably also sectioning with a mill file just to see for myself. I've pushed sst's pretty fast and though they seemed to fragile for what I was doing, none came apart in flight.

    Hornady Interlock .308 Breaking Apart in Mid-air

    It's definitely interesting, I've only had this happen shooting Hornady sx bullets and some blitz out of a .22-250 so in one case over-rotation and one over speed. Neither seem possible in this scenario. Is it possible he has damaged the bore somehow during cleaning?

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    Well how's your understanding of the opposition? Is the conversation what you expected? Here in North Idaho the native Timberwolves are now gone. They were here until the "introduction" of the Canadian wolves. The Mountain Caribou are now gone. They were here until they brought in the...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    What kind of evil blasphemy is this one pistol idea! My choice is a G19, though not ideal for everything, it's the closest to universally useful.

    Anybody recognize the make of this bullet?

    Wasn't going to chime in on the starting point as I think it's been covered. But, I've purchased "blem" bullets from Midway that weren't labeled by mfg. But did have a sticker that included a Sierra part number. The bullets purchased as blems had a cannelure while the p/n available to reloaders...

    Model 70 Extreme Weather accuracy issues

    If it shoots something we'll, it's harmonics. Action screws being torqued wrong, or bedding can drastically effect accuracy.

    Why WY?

    People still want tags for Wyoming. The elk numbers have dropped in my part of Idaho by enough that this year I think I actually saw less NR plates. Up here we always see Apple Magot plates, year round, but far less Oregon and California plates from what I remember.

    What gun cal. To complement my 300 WM, 308?

    If those are the only two you have a fast twist .223 is in order.

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    So much depends on how/where/what time of year. I still use a Tenzing daypack for scouting. It's enough for the purpose, but as soon as weather becomes unpredictable and game meat will weigh too much to carry without a frame it's a poor choice. Late season we carry so much more clothes and...

    Glock 19 conundrum

    Just an update if someone else runs into this... I bought Gen 5 parts for the Gen 5 slide, put it on top of the Gen 4 frame and it runs perfectly.

    Suppressors

    We (son and I) have gone through LGSs using both silencer central and silencer shop. Didn't seem to be much different to me. We both bought OSS cans first, but my son has bought CGS cans lately. They seem more quiet than the HUXworks but definitely have more blowback if you want to swap it...

    Ultralight/Compact .30 cal Hunting Suppressor

    I have a flow ti in jail now, weight, attenuation, and low back pressure all influenced the choice. Compromise is a necessary evil.

    School me on .338 win mag reloading

    I have tried a light roll crimp on Woodliegh bullets with a crimping groove and for whatever reason they liked it. I used Sierra 250gr GK with IMR 4350, Fed 215s, no crimp, for a long time and could get overlapping groups. I switched to Woodliegh WeldCore 250s because I got an absolute...

    School me on .338 win mag reloading

    I just bump the shoulder enough they chamber easily. Use the same method for all my bolt guns and it seems to work well without excess brass working.

    School me on .338 win mag reloading

    Did you track the velocity changes as you worked up? A big jump in velocity for a small change in charge weight is where it gets dangerous as it represents a pressure change that is exponential to previous charge increases. I've been loading for my .338WM for a long time and have not used...
