    Pressure signs with suppressor

    @CMP70306 is the real mvp here giving logical explanations that everyone misread about peak chamber pressures, powder specific, and the relationship to the pressure signs. Back off the charge until you get back to that velocity and I bet you're good to go. This is why I always do my load dev...

    Maven RS1.2 10% off ($1080$

    Was waiting on a check for some side money and looks like they're out of stock on the mil version. Oh well, another NX8 it is I guess. Was really wanting to give this one a try though.

    Son’s 1st Drake!

    Thank you for the info. I appreciate it. Tough finding good firearms for kids.

    Son’s 1st Drake!

    Congrats! Do you recommend that shotgun for a kid that size? My son will be coming up on 8yr old and he wants to bird hunt very badly. I currently do not own anything that would work for him. My single shot 20 is too heavy.

    Insulated bibs

    Sitka Fanatic or Stratus depending on your temp range and if you want to wear anything under it.

    Scope leveling

    I use the two wheeler levels but I'm not sure I trust them. Finding accurate levels seem to be the hard part. Lately I've been getting my rifle in a vice, using the action level and then hanging a weighted string on the wall. It get's it damn close. The two wheeler clamp on levels might be...

    Sous Vide

    Been thinking about one for a few years but have never pulled the trigger. I think I'll get one.

    Traditional vs Elope

    We eloped to Antigua, just the two of us. It was great. I have no regrets. So much less drama and didn't waste a ton of money on a damn wedding. If you have a logical bride that hasn't dreamed of a fairytale wedding her whole life, 100% do this. We started to invite only family and then I got...

    Hornady A-Tip

    Plenty of mention on the web of inconsistent terminal performance. And frankly, they're super expensive, almost double, when compared to the other popular choices when it comes to hunting.

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    Dammit, way to ruin it for me. I was hoping he'd read my comment about how surprised I was there wasn't a Barnes ad in the first episode. I better up my comment game on the next one. Wait he's probably only reading his patreon messages that allow him to continue the podcast and justify the...

    What is everyone using for a smartwatch?

    A garmin instinct my buddy gave me for a birthday present. I never wore a watch and now I've worn this thing straight for 2yrs. I like it.

    Single stage press upgrade

    Turret press is the jam but the coax looks sweet too. I have all of my dies setup and just pop the turret in with the dies I need and go to town. Love it. If I'm loading pistol, I can go from empty case to completed case without touching it after I put the case in the shell holder. That's also...

    Would you sell Bitcoin for a Sheep hunt?

    I sold mine to buy a mining rig and switch the eth back in the day. I could pay off my house now. But live and learn.

    Unknown Munitions Tikka Clone action coming soon?

    As a guy with only 1 tikka in the stable, technically it belongs to my son, I am very interested in this. I feel like the target audience because I have a few "custom" r700 actions with interchangeable bolt heads. That's a feature that made me pick the clone actions over a tikka. $120 for a new...

    Lightweight Rifle on a budget.

    Tikka t3x. Easy. If you don't like the stock, swap it out. Good to go.

    McMillan Mountain Tracker LR - Tikka T3 Dev Project

    The trigger reach will be long. Promise you that.

    Tikka barrel swap adventure

    I didn't think it was so that's great to know. Never researched it much because varget has worked so well but stuffing 24+gr of it in a case gets a little inconsistent in terms of seating depth in my experience.

    McMillan Mountain Tracker LR - Tikka T3 Dev Project

    Looks like a good option. I have a game Warden LR and I really like that stock. Bedded, it came out lighter than my manners LRH but I do prefer the arca rail on the manners so this will fit the bill.

    Tikka barrel swap adventure

    This is how you write up a story. Random roadkill pelts and names for your loads! I havent tried benchmark in .223 yet. Do you like it over varget? How temp sensitive is it? There always seems to be some hanging around bass pro and I believe it's cheaper than the Hodgdon extreme line.

    Most over-rated Bourbon?

    If I'm honest, 90% of the allocated stuff isn't that great. Maybe I have the pallet of a 11yo but if I could have a steady supply of Weller 12 or 107 at retail prices, I'd be a happy guy. Some of the EH Taylor is pretty damn good too.
