copper penetrate deeper but the wound channel is narrow
Kenai - I don't have the jacket but have piece in the line up. Its more durable than the material they would use on a down jacket but I don't know if I would push bush with it. Seems like it could be fragile. The used to make the Kutana 3dfx or something. it was a kutana shell with the active...
Moose are generally taken at closer ranges so the high BC stuff isn't required for me. When our group hunts BC moose, so slightly smaller than Alaskan, we all use the Nosler partition bullets. Always performed flawlessly. Animals just straight up die with them

Which bags have you used that claim to have waterproof down and don't?
I run the SG chilkoot 15 and have had zero issues with water and the down losing loft. That being said, I haven't taken it swimming or used it directly in a rain storm but have put it through some...
Down and getting wet is not an issue anymore with any of the high end companies. All down is treated with some type of waterproofing and will hold its loft when it gets wet to a certain point. The issues of down and wetness have long past us.
Down 100% over synthetic for me

If using the Magview app, it will use one lense only.
I still refuse to buy any adapter that requires to me have a phone specific case. Don't care how simple the system is, not buying a new case for each phone. I bought additionally no name magnets off amazon. Anyone that hunts with me can...
Should of bought one of the Lifepo4 batteries that have Bluetooth for BMS monitoring. I got one for my TT and its awesome. Shows me all the info I need in real time.
Please do. Interested in that line of powders. Can be tough to find though. Was hoping to find some reloader at some point as well but odds look slim...
Just picked up another 6.8w. Any one have an update on load data? Was getting good results with 4831sc for accuracy but it was slow with the 165s.
Have 165 ABLR, 170 EOL and 175 tgk.
Thinking I will start with the 165ablr. Probably run it under 7828 or Magpro.
Also, was a .270 guy, still aim...
Budget shooter supply out of Surrey has some Retumbo if you're still looking. Henry has been a solid guy or me, prices can be a little bit higher but super small time guy. Goes on Summer vacation soon though.
I wasn't able to find any options when I looked a few months back. Love the caliber, but also love to tinker. Found very little aftermarket support for the XPR.
