    Crispi guide issue

    Thanks! I've tried surgeons knots and the heel lock method to try to reduce movement with less pressure. I was going to try skipping some eyelets over the forefoot. But once that "love handle" formed on the right boot, I gave up on them.

    Odd marks in hand loads

    To close the loop on this, the gunsmith apologized and reloaded that batch using all new brass and bullets (he found some ballistic tips - which was what I wanted originally). Faith restored. Thanks for the help and support.

    Crispi guide issue

    A couple of weeks ago i bought a pair of Crispi Guides (insulated). They fit great in the store. I typically wear a 12, but I ended up with a 13 in the Guides. The sales person was also a 12 and ended up with 13 Crispis. I tried on the 12s and 12.5s. They were too short. With my foot slid...

    Odd marks in hand loads

    lol! No, there was no discussion of low grade blem bullets. I texted him about it. Let's see what he says. I've put a bunch of time and effort into this. New rifle is a Proof MTR. New optic is a NF. I've done two long range schools (one done by this gunsmith). Been out hiking with heavy...

    Odd marks in hand loads

    Update: Google was my friend today. "Lube dents". I found the link below. I also called Nosler. These dents are caused by excess lube in the die. Looks like the gunsmith bought these low grade blem bullets. I checked the batch more carefully and it's all of them. Some worse than others...

    Odd marks in hand loads

    Gunsmith says these dents/marks/divots won't affect POI. I contacted Nosler also, they don't know what it is nor would they comment on if it would influence POI. The only paths forward are to either test it (and I'm not sure I'd trust that - they're all different) or just flush that batch...

    Odd marks in hand loads

    Thanks! That was my plan. I was trying to get educated here first. I provided only the brass (new Lapua).

    Odd marks in hand loads

    Thanks. These are for a Montana elk hunt where I'd expect to shoot out to 500 yards. I do plan to test some before I go. But I was looking for some thoughts about if I should ask the gunsmith who loaded these to replace them. I certainly didn't pay for seconds.

    Do you think it'll affect the POI at all?

    Odd marks in hand loads

    These are 300WM hand load I paid a gunsmith to load for me. New Lapua brass and 180g Accubonds. Any idea what caused these marks? Should I be ok with this? I'd say over half of the 80 they loaded for me have these marks in them. Thank you for your help.

    Does anyone NOT wear merino underwear?

    I got a pair of the Sitka merino boxers on sale to try, and they lack "compression". They're just too loose on me. Or maybe it's shrinkage. lol

    Best rechargeable headlamp

    Thanks! This is a backcountry trip. No power. So I dont have the luxury of a recharge unless I bring a power bank. Hence the initial lean towards AAA.

    Best rechargeable headlamp

    If you're going on a week long trip in mid season, are you guys bringing enough 18650s to last the trip, or are you recharging them from a power bank? I had planned to bring a AAA powered BD Spot and 20 AAA lithium batteries. But Ive seen those BD headlamps really draw down a set of AAAs...

    Do you guys have a link to a 18650 battery(s) on Amazon that you like? There are a ton of them. Hard to tell which are good ones.

    New Digiscoping Option—MagView **Review Added 8/3/22**

    Anyone with binos (or other devices) with a compass in them notice magnets like these messing up the compass? My Vortex AB 5000s have a compass that helps them compute wind hold.

    What's your go to water bottle

    The inserts you can get for Nalgene wide mouths are great for avoiding spills. The clip into the mouth.
