    Mystery scope dings

    Everyone is presupposing the scope was mounted normally and this area faced the barrel. Imagine the scope turned 90-deg. and these marks could have been made by a lot of things. I've seen/ heard of scopes mounted that way in cases where either ejecting shell casings or bolt handles would hit the...

    Federal New Cartridge

    That's why I think they're hiding that it's a high pressure case, like the 277 fury.

    Federal New Cartridge

    May as well add the .338Fed to that list.

    Federal New Cartridge

    Do they have any ties to SIG and the bi-metal case tech of the .277 Fury? Utilizing that tech in a cartridge the size of a .280rem with the 80k PSI threshold would give some noticeable juice in a non-magnum case.

    Federal New Cartridge

    Also in the clip they posted on X, you can see a tease, if ever so briefly, of a new Geissele bolt-action rifle that is forthcoming.

    Tikkas in 7mm prc?

    That'd be welcome, especially in a vanilla T3X stainless lefty. They should add 6.5PRC in the basic stainless/synthetic model/left hand while they're at it.

    Benelli M2 or SB3

    I don't ever find myself wanting for 3.5" shells waterfowl hunting.

    Ultralight chair to throw in your pack?

    I have zero experience with this. But it came across my YouTube feed. Claimed weight is 8oz. Antimatter

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    My Solo/Shaw "not-quite UL/UL" has drawn first blood. It's 5lb 13oz with optic and suppressor and 10 rounds of 223 in the Lancer mag. This doe fell to a 55gr Hornady SP. Not a terribly long shot at 70 yards admittedly but it worked just fine for a high lung shot. The bullet did not exit, but...

    Light for caliber 6.5 creedmoor vs 6mm Creed

    There is also a 100 grain ELD-M offered in 6.5mm. Should be less frangible than the VT.

    My Shaw barrel is showing promise so far

    Where do you look for hunting land for sale?

    You buy the land and have surface rights and use, but someone else gets to reap any $ from oil, gas, minerals below your feet. I don't know a lot about it, but there may be a case where the decision to come and set up new infrastructure on the property is out of your control as well. I admit...

    High Velocity 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo

    No real experience yet, because I haven't gotten around to loading them for my Grendel, but there is an Eld-M at 100gr. as well as the -VT. That should hold together better. There are Hammer Hunters down to 85gr. in .264 cal. You could probably push those over 3300fps with that barrel length...

    Nemo Kodiak vs Stone Glacier Skyline

    I don't own either, but did recently share space for 4 nights in the Nemo Kodiak 3p on an Idaho hunt. I was impressed with the construction and weight/pack size for a 4-season 3p tent. We each used wide/long pads and had a good amount of room in the middle for egress, which was good because that...

    223 varmint ammo

    Woodchucks, not prairie dogs, but Fiocci xtrema 50gr. Vmax is pretty reasonably priced.

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Care to share some load data? I am considering same length + suppressor.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Mark me down for one as well. Same here for making a PA-legal deer rifle. The race is on for my Shaw barrel and my Jolene S to cap her off. Still expect to get a spot check if the PGC sees it in the field......
