Another vote here for a 7mm-08. I’d consider myself recoil sensitive and have no issues with that cartridge. One thing to keep in mind is that stock design can make a big impact on felt recoil. Even some of the bigger rounds mentioned can be a pleasure to shoot with a good stock, but with the...
I recently moved to mid-Michigan and have heard people talk about hunting ruffed grouse up in the UP. How difficult is it to have a little success as someone who’s never done it before?
I won’t be living here for more than a couple years so it’s not something I am going to devote my life to...
I can’t say what’s the best, but I can 100% tell you to stay away from banded and drake. I used to work at a hunting store that sold a pile of waders and we eventually quit selling those brands because over 50% got returned as defective within a year.
I’ve heard good things about Rogers in the...

Sounds like you found a good option. I’ll tell you a story that made me a believer in FFP. I always thought FFP was for comp guns and I didn’t need/want one on a hunting rifle. A month ago I was out in the mountains. I had a trophy rock chuck in my sights at 850 yards. I I dialed my elevation...
I’ve got 200 or so pieces of Federal 5.7x28 brass. Fired once, picked up and put in a bag immediately so it should be pretty clean. $20+ shipping and it’s yours.
