    put some tannerite in the spot he usually goes. that should solve the problem.

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    I think it's important to specify what type of bullets we are referencing. at 1500 fps there are plenty of bullets that will react or upset as well as have different penetration limits. there are a lot of variables such as mass, shape, design, target densities etc. that can change things...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    article 4, yes that is all valid but again were talking about hunting in its conventional form. with the right set of parameters you could create many outcomes. we could theoretically kill an elk without ever hitting it, but the likelihood of that is well, not likely lol. killing a target with...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    first, think simplistic. how many people would understand energy threshold? its easier to grasp velocity than explain how much energy is required to create expansion in various mediums. why they're the same? technically they're not but again, its easier to give a relative average. now, realize...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    you guys are all debating the same thing just from different points. each argument in itself is useless, try putting it all together and maybe you will see something. we cant have one without the other. ultimately, force or energy is the primary point to all of this. its the manipulation of...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    this is energy/force. energy is the sole dictator to all things related to hunting. without energy, a bullet never leaves the barrel. this is 100 % correct, but to be fair, you don't fully understand why or how. it has been proven that velocity is not that important. its why a bullet moving...

    its always fun to watch people debate the same thing and not even realize it.

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    I bought all the sensors for the truck so I never got stuck, haven't had any of them go bad and don't even remember where everything is. now that I said that my truck won't start tomorrow lol. start the truck, put the heat on. the hose that gets hot first is the inlet. I would flush from the...

    Too short trim length won’t eject?

    always a good idea to have a 308 gauge block to check rounds. also not a bad idea to have go - no go gauges for your rifle. trim length doesn't affect extraction, but bumping shoulder back too far will. as will improper headspace.

    HELP! Attorney referral needed

    you got caught sleeping at work again? employment law is usually fairly cut and dry. if you're looking to go after a company, I would suggest you do the research as its all pretty simple. all states have labor laws and offer help against employers so there's rarely a need for a lawyer. are you...

    Need thought on a load development issue pls

    in my opinion, your approach to reloading has been good. I would stick with your original thought process and ignore speed. the round you have chosen is more than capable of taking a brown bear, and you have learned a lesson from the first hunt so you should feel confident and focus on accuracy...

    Need thought on a load development issue pls

    my opinion. Barnes is usually pretty good with their data. I have always found accuracy at or just under their max when using their bullets. I would step down to 64 and reevaluate your groups. there's no reason to push it, nothing will be gained. if you reached a point where you're in doubt...

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    MNGrouser, while you are correct for the most part you unfortunately have a prosecutor mentality in that everything is by the book as you read it, black and white. not saying there's anything wrong with that but it's not always the best way. now, the sole purpose of a trial by jury is the jurors...

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    you stated fuel washes away oil on the cylinder walls. therefore, there must be oil, no? I understand your opinion on cylinder washing, though it doesn't really happen like many believe. it takes a very large amount of fuel to truly cause cylinder washing. on a correctly running engine the...

    Group analysis help requested

    I have to ask because im confused. are you chasing accuracy or velocity? seems to me you're chasing velocity. you stated that a slower factory load shot better but are refusing to drop down to that speed even though the rifle is telling you to. other than that, im with everyone else in that you...

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    yes, all vehicles do that since the mid 80's. its mostly based on coolant temperature. roughly 140 degrees. but the computer monitors many things so it can change if certain parameters are not met.

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    not really true. without getting into it, basically if you have oil in your cylinders you have bigger issues. the fuel that comes in hot or cold is still atomized to some degree and the fuel does not get pushed to the walls. incomplete burn gets pushed out the exhaust. honestly, in today's...

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    I'm somewhere around 280k on my 01. 500k on a PSD is just broken in lol. they can get a mil no problem. when you start getting to 300K you may need injectors, depends on the year. around 500 you may want to look at the HPOP. besides what's been mentioned, waste gate actuator, glow plug system...
