    How long have you been at your current job?

    10 years, although my original company sold their assets and people 3 years ago to another. I was transferred straight across. Been in the same position for about 8 years now, getting frustrated with the lack of movement.

    If you never shot over 600 yards?

    7PRC with a 168gr LRX. It will kill anything I point it at.

    Is there any video or evidence in general that a heavier projectile will penetrate deeper?

    the more energy something has, the harder it is to stop it. but what happens when the bullet starts to come apart is something completely different. I dont think an animal will notice if it got hit by a 180gr 30cal bullet, or a 150gr 7mm, 130gr 6.5mm, 77gr .224" in the vitals. the result will...

    7mm 120 ttsx

    i dont have any pictures, but typical barnes behavior. about a 1" hole in the ribs, lungs have a lot of bloodshot and are torn up pretty good. exit about 1-2" on the ribs. bloodshot area around the entry/exit is minimal, not much bigger than the entry/exit. I have hit 1 shoulder before and it...

    7mm 120 ttsx

    I used to run the 120gr TTSX in my 7 Rem Mag. Deadly little bullet. Everything I have shot with it has died with 1 bullet, longest track job about 50yds. Multiple cow elk, mulies and whitetails. Majority have been bang flops. I wouldnt hesitate to use it in 7mm-08. Distance will be cut a bit.

    Any 12 hour night shift workers?

    yup, been doing it for 10 years. 2 weeks of nights at a time, then I get 2 weeks off. Then 2 weeks of days and 2 weeks off. I definitely get more sleep when I am on nights. I work 530pm-730am. Usually asleep by 830-9 and im up around 430-5. I found taking sleeping pills to get onto nights way...

    Nightshifters

    I’m super lucky that I work 2 weeks on, then 2 weeks off and I rotate each shift between days and nights. So essentially I get 6 weeks of days and 2 weeks of nights. Going into nightshift ain’t too bad, but coming off nights to days really sucks. It takes me 3-4 days before I’m back to a normal...

    7 PRC barrel slowing down?

    most of my loads have ejector marks, but no flat primers or sticky bolt. I run a bit hotter than books which are usually a bit low anyways. im getting 2950fps with a 168gr LRX with 65.5gr of H4831SC. Its a few grains over book max but my rifle was telling me I could keep going. at 66.5gr I...

    Nightshifters

    either hit up the grocery store and get some premade meals or if im staying at home and working i will meal prep my lunches for 3 days at a time. sometimes ill just go to a restaurant and just order 2 entrees, one for dinner and one for lunch. I find its actually cheaper to do this than it is...

    Arrow weight rabbit hole

    your weight is fine, especially at your poundage. I shoot 70lbs so I went with a 520gr setup. Its a bit slower at 263fps but my bow is dead quiet and the penetration even on foam targets its pretty sweet.

    Alberta Outfitter Allegations

    What are the allegations? The local forum and FB groups have nothing about it, and the rumours fly thick and heavy there.

    7-08 Alberta moose

    Lots of good moose up that way. You will definitely tag out. I bow hunt them during the early season along with elk. Both are general OTC tags and elk go to rifle on Sept 17.

    I’m in bad on GTE. I sold too early and it kept going up and so I bought back in and then it crashed. I’ve got no problem holding this until it turns profitable again

    7-08 Alberta moose

    i live here, either the Accubond or TTSX are a great choice. I wouldn't hesitate to take either in the field. The 120gr TTSX is what I used for a few years in my 7RM. Its a great bullet. where are you hunting?
