    6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

    Difference between 6ARC and my .243AI is noticeable, I would say similar to the step from .223 to 6ARC or a little more.

    Maven Rs.1 vs Nightforce SHV vs Leupold

    That's true, I always forget about the 4-14. The 3-10 SFP is a fine option for folks that want a closer range bomb proof scope, but the 4-14 F1 is a good option. The MIL-R is regarded by a lot of folks as being sub-optimal for hunting, it gets skinny-ish at lower magnification.

    Maven Rs.1 vs Nightforce SHV vs Leupold

    Cliff notes of what you'll find to be the prevailing opinion here (which I also hold)... Leupold anything (wit a sliver of hope remaining for the new Mk4 HD) is not a good choice from a zero retention and long term durability standpoint. There are some who swear they abuse their Leupold scopes...

    Sweet man, can you imagine what a Revolutionary War soldier would have thought of that rifle and load?

    AR triggers

    OP here, I did end up with the LaRue MBT2. No regrets, definitely a solid upgrade from the PSA/Schmid/etc Nickel Boron enhanced single stage triggers. Thanks to everyone for their input!

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    That's why I only use Hornady bullets for that type of shot. Orbital mechanics are a bitch though, makes Coriolis look like 3rd grade math.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    If the next rokslide trend is a molinator tramp stamp, I'm officially going to exit the club.

    Chronograph in South Central Idaho

    I'm in Bellevue and have a magneto speed you'd be welcome to use. Range 10 minutes from my place you could shoot at if you don't end up with anyone in twin who can loan you one.

    Best information I have found yet on bullets and terminal ballistics

    I listened to both of these over the last couple of days as well. The conversation/flow of two open minded semi-skeptics interviewing Form was the thing that I think sets these apart from the (also fantastic) Form Friday, S2H podcast, rokslide post format. It's not combative as the forum posts...

    How is this concept so hard to grasp? Or am I dead wrong? Lol

    Then remember that half of everyone is dumber than average. Terrifying.

    Tikka .243 AI

    I've shot a couple hundred rounds at 47.0 gr H1000, 3050 fps, and I think I'm going to drop another ½ grain (or buy some new brass and re-work)... I've lost a few primers and occasionally still get ejector marks (got some supposedly lightly loaded 2-3x fired Lapua brass already AI formed, and...

    Tikka t3x .243 win 108 eldm vs 6.5 creedmoor 130 tmk

    That's Tikka's designation. "S" mags come with rifles chambered in .223 and accommodate about a 2.26 COAL "M" mags are standard short action, included with rifles chambered in .308, .243, etc. and accommodate a 2.80ish" COAL "M+" mags come with rifles chambered in 6.5CM and accommodate a...

    RokStok

    Pretty sure UM could charge above MSRP for blem's if they were promised to ship out same day. People would bitch and moan and crumble, but there's a bunch that would pay. Not that UM would ever do this, it just struck me as funny that they probably could.

    Tikka t3x .243 win 108 eldm vs 6.5 creedmoor 130 tmk

    I use the M+ mags and factory bolt stop to get all the COAL I need with my .243AI and 106TAP and 108ELDM's.

    #12 Annoying Debate Topic for fun: MOA vs. MIL --my take

    I switched from MOA to MRAD pretty recently (after last hunting season), and here's my takeaway so far... 1.7 mil at 450 is easier to remember than 5.75 MOA. I have AB ballistic solver in my RF, but if I'm on a different profile it's way easier to shoot with just a range and not a solution. I...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Why is that interesting? Were you referring to someone other than him? It is a pretty straight line to follow back through the series of replies to see that's who you're talking about (started with a direct reply to him saying his opinion is the result of a meth habit). He's blunt and not...

    Barrel shooting better warm then cold

    If you overlay multiple groups do they have a consistent POI? I'd be looking at free float and bedding/action screws torque, and if there's nothing goofy there I'd be contacting barrel manufacturer.

    Barrel shooting better warm then cold

    Agree. A 3 round group tells very little. I've shot more 10 round groups this year than I have ever before and it has really changed the way I view rifle precision. 1.1-1.2 MOA is good. Sub MOA is very good. There's always at least one set of 3 (or sometimes 5) in a 1.2 MOA 10 round group that...

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    Do you know if a hot dog is a sandwich? Still trying to get this figured out.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Attaboy! Much respect for the open minded approach!
