Yeah I don’t have any experience with suppressors at all. But brakes help tremendously.
300 NMI with 245’s has a lot more recoil than my 7-300 with the 180’s as well.
Did some testing with a few positions to see recoil and impact differences between these two guns of mine.
11.6lb 6 PRC. 108 Berger’s at 3200fps.
10.5lb 7-300 NMI. 180 ELDM’s at 3120fps
These are the max yardages that I would prefer to shoot from either of these positions in the field.
I...
Awesome! If you remember afterwards, would you mind shooting me a PM with your thoughts on the meeting? I’d love to get some feedback as it seems like your situation is very similar to mine
Health insurance is a BIG one. And one of the major factors with a wife and 2 kids. I have GREAT insurance through my work. So good it’d be terrible to give up and cost a fortune to replace.
Maybe they’ll let me take months off at a time unpaid as well, but remain employed. I don’t need to...
This why I have avoided them entirely as well. I’m dumb, but not that dumb lol.
Kind of why I reached out here. I don’t know of any hourly advisors. But know people on here are much smarter and more versed than I am with this stuff.
Just getting a little perspective on my initial thoughts...
I greatly appreciate all the extra info everyone! I’ll be looking into the ROTH asap.
I also did not account for the dollar value after 25 years of inflation obviously. Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention!
Yeah that is probably a good idea. I just trust my Rokslide homies more than 99% of the general population hahaha. And there’s some smart suckers in here! But someone professional versed in exactly the info I’m seeking is possibly a decent idea…. 🤣🤣🤣
From my research I can’t do a Roth IRA based off the maximum income limitations. I’ve heard of backdoor Roth but it seems pretty extensive for $6k a year contribution or so.
If the market is down when I want to retire, I’ll just keep working until it stabilizes again. No big deal. I don’t mind...
I was going over my investment accounts today and started thinking a little bit. I have a 401k through my work that I've been maxing out for 15 years.
They match a certain percentage, and i think it ends up to about $3-4k a year they put in, on top of my $23,000.
The account currently has...
I love hearing about all of them! Definitely a personal interest in the heavy bullets, but also like all the lighter weight bullet info being shared as well.
Please keep sharing the whole variety of killing bullets. I bet others are gaining info that fit their personal cartridges they use as well!
I’ve heard countless reports of 180 hybrid success stories. My personal friend has over 50 big game kills with them, and zero hiccups. Definitely seems an outstanding 7mm killing bullet.
That’s a bullet I wouldn’t mind trying for sure. Looks like it’d make a nice sound channel by design. It’s actually longer than the 180 ELDM.
I’ve never looked into the scenars at all actually. Appreciate the info! I’ll have to check them out.
Been really liking the 7mm lately. Shooting the big bullets fast and they’re pretty tough to beat ballistically.
I’ve killed big game with 195 EOL, 180 Hybrid, 180 VLD-H, 180 ELDM and 169 Hammer Hunter. They all performed as designed or intended.
Curious what others have used with the most...
In these specific bullets, that is not what single feed means.
They are single feed because they have a thinner tip for lower impact speed upset. And the recoil collapses the nose in the magazine on the thinner construction.
So the difference isn’t dimension on the bullet, but thickness of...
I’ve loaded 140’s in multiple 24” barrels with multiple powders. They sit around 2940fps with the cooler burning powders H4831SC and H1000. Even 565 doesn’t really send them screaming. They CAN absolutely go faster. There’s powders that will do it, and accompanied by a little bolt click, they...
That seems pretty close to right with H1000. Maybe 50FPS off. But that’s nothing from barrel to barrel. I’ve personally had 4 6.5 PRC’s and loaded for quite a few more. A lot of speeds that are posted on the web are absolutely in pressure. Don’t put much weight into what other people are...
