    Annealing Brass With Different Numbers of Firings

    What’s the firing count on the brass? Annealing will help, but I’d still prefer to have them be the same number of firings.

    Which podwer dropper to buy?

    My chargemaster 1500 is still going strong - had it for 11 years.

    What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

    I have several rifles that shoot quite well. My Tikka CTR 223 probably takes the cake though.

    2024 OFFICIAL WHITETAIL MEAT POLE

    Took my 10 year old son out for a quick hunt last weekend. He’s never been with me when I’ve filled a tag, so we looked over the bucks and went with the best one. 350 yards with the 145 LRX out of my 7 SAUM. Hoping to get him squared away with hunters safety for next season!

    Feeding large caliber bullets into Tikka action

    Can you tweak the front of the mag lips a bit to see if opening it allows the cartridge to ride up? PS- this build looks awesome!

    Different bullets for cow elk

    338 is obviously not necessary for a cow. If really concerned about it running off to private, then high shoulder or base of neck to anchor it.

    Do it all barrel contour

    I have a light palma contour on a 6.5 Sherman and I’ve been happy with it, especially at a 26” length. My 20-22” barrels tend to be medium palma.

    Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?

    Out of the two options presented, I’d go Ruger. The American rifles actually are pretty accurate. Smooth and refined? No, but at that price point, I wouldn’t expect it. Sure the Tikka is nice, but if it’s extra money you don’t want to spend, buy the Ruger and be happy.

    Side mounted sling swivels on tikka t3x

    I think flush cups would suit you well. It’s been a while since I had a factory Tikka stock, so not sure if there’s enough meat to support the install, but it’s worth a look. Or you can purchase an aftermarket stock and have installed.

    300 WM Muzzle Device

    Suppressor. But if opposed to that idea, the SRS brakes are pretty nice. I have one of their 2 port Ti brakes on a Seekins Element and it’s way easier to spot shots now.

    Different bullets for cow elk

    Base of neck should drop it on the spot. Killed 3 animals with a 145 LRX last week (ranges from 350-580 yards) and performance was great. Two whitetail bucks dropped on the spot, bull elk was dead standing on his feet and dropped at the second shot.

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    That’s pretty wild. Can’t explain it other than “shit happens” sometimes. Glad he could finish off the buck.

    223 69g TMK: best powder

    Varget and 69 TMK shoot very well in my 20” Tikka CTR.

    Passing a buck.

    If an animal gets you pumped when you see it, take it. If you’re not feeling it, nothing wrong with passing and looking for something different. I just spent a week in Wyoming hunting elk, deer, and antelope. Here’s a bull I passed - definitely a killable position, but after studying him, he...

    Worth upgrading from zermatt?

    Origin is a great action. You'll really don't "gain" much by going with a TL3, SR3, etc. besides an integrated lug. I have a couple TL3s and enjoy them, but if I build another (read: when I build another), I'll probably save a little $$ and just go with an Origin. One action I really like is...

    Help me score this 5x5 please

    Nice bull, congrats!

    6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

    For $10, I’d say it’s worth a try. Factory bolt knob is definitely a little small. I’ll probably pick one up to see how it works out. If it’s not great, I’ll send to LRI for their bolt knob install.

    Crazy Mountains Success

    Looks like an incredible adventure. Congrats on a great goat!

    Hunting with supressor vs brake

    Suppressed 100% of the time (at least if I can help it).

    Rokslide 2024 Youth Photo Contest sponsored by Western Edge Gear

    Took my 10 year old son out for a quick deer hunt the other night. He’s not old enough to hunt yet, but he had a great time and he’s looking forward to a euro mount in his room.
