    Has anyone else noticed slow velocity from Hornady 6.5 cm ammo?

    My Sig Cross shoots 147 ELDM at 2475 which is slow, but maintains 1800 fps out to 565 yards.

    What Happened to Sitka?

    I also view this as part of the natural cycle. It's the same as when a band gets popular and the "I liked them before they were this popular crowd" has to chime in. I haven't noticed any changes in quality on Sitka stuff from recently so I'm not worried about it.

    What Happened to Sitka?

    I know I haven't been buying much since I got $1400 four years ago.

    Sitka System - Fanatic vs Incinerator Aerolite

    To me the quietness of the fanatic wins out. I’ll stay dry in a light snow in it for a whatever, 4 hour sit in the fanatic. To me the incinerator is too loud for a standalone bow hunting suit, and too expensive for a mostly gun hunting only suit. To be honest, I’m picking a better spot if it’s...

    Curious about this too.

    Caliber Specific End Cap

    I believe the consensus is that it’s quieter with the correct end cap, but not noticeable to the human ear.

    Nikwax vs septic tanks

    I can’t directly answer the question, but I use Nikwax and I think it would be a real stretch. You put it on and it dries, then wear it for quite a while where it breaks down and dries out and degrades. Then you wash the clothing. I’d be shocked if it was still chemically intact enough to cause...

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    Has anyone killed anything with a Norma Evostrike? They shot really accurate for me and claim some level of fragmentation, but I never killed anything. They are lead-free.

    XLR vs ?

    I just checked mine (about 100 rounds since I set it up). They were both still tight. But because I can’t stay off the internet I pulled them out quick and put them back with loctite and re-torqued to spec.

    Short Barrel/Suppressed Rifle Options - What's the Best Value?

    They aren't AS popular here but I love the Sig Cross for this and it's hard to argue it's not an easy button as well.

    6mm 95gr LRX vs 6.5mm 127gr LRX?

    I’ve had great results with the .243 and 80 gr TTSX that I’d assume the 95 LRX would be plenty of damage

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

    Whenever people use this example it’s always like a ping pong ball vs something 50 times heavier (or more)… In reality a 180 grain bullet is only 20% heavier than a 150 so it’s likely to me you’d have to shoot a lot of animals to see a difference

    I don’t see it on ammoseek.

    Mid Range Hunting with Long Range Bullets

    I’m kind of pairing this with the short barrel craze. My 16.5” .308 only has a muzzle velocity of 2540 and thus my impact velocity at 300 is (calculator says) only 2154 so that lines up with a long range hunter at probably closer to 500 or so.

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    I think some of these reactions remind me of the follow up video where the guys with the 40% hit rate to 600 are still confident on an animal to 600. If I assume I’m as good as those guys, even a 40% hit rate to 600… Sure, I could convince myself that all my misses were just barely off, and...

    Where to buy rifles online...

    I bought through midway once very easily, but they am usually aren’t too cheap price wise.

    The 178 ELDX is a little better (0.552)
