Any of y’all using this cold weather to test out your gear?
It’s currently 14 degrees at my house in the DFW area. Have the stove going in my hot tent and testing out my new quilt and sleeping pad while drinking whiskey and coke and Netflixing. Not a bad Sunday night.
You guys that are on TRT, have you developed acne and have you found anything that helps?
I’ve started getting it on my chest, back and hairline. Been using a body wash with salicylic acid but hasn’t made a difference. I’ve been reading that taking b5 and using head and shoulders might help and...
I’ve owned two titans, a 14 and now a 19. Only issue I’ve had with either of them was the 14 got struck by lightening and fried the computer. In the 5 years I’ve had the 19 all I’ve done is oil, filters and tires. In my experience they are solid and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.
I have six kills with them now out of my manbun, five whitetails and a hog. Shots ranging from 60 to 320 yards. Not all have exited, one was a bang flop, the others ran at most 40 yards.
My current favorites are Blade and Bow, Knob Creek 12 and Barrel Dovetail. Eagle rare rotates through occasionally, so does Elijah Craig.
I’ve had Old RVW and wasn’t impressed. Pappy 15 was excellent as is William L. Weller, neither are worth the cost but was a fun experience.
I’ve been hunting my in laws farm for 6 years now. Missed a good buck 2 years ago, and didn’t get anything last year. Finally this morning right after shooting light this buck and doe walked out ~300 yards away. Buck went down, doe didn’t move and they are both going in the freezer now. This...
I’ve been on TRT for 10 weeks now and I feel like a different person. Last check before I started was 272. At my follow up after being on it 6 weeks it was in the 900’s. My biggest issues before starting was being exhausted all the time, no matter how much I slept, lack of patience, and...
I’m a paramedic in nursing school, and my wife is a nurse currently getting her DNP. I have zero desire to work in patient care, but there are so many options as a nurse that don’t require you to be at the bedside. I’m lucky to work at a level 1 trauma center where the possibilities for a...
This is cool, just sent it to my father in law. I’m a Texas resident but do most of my hunting in Richland parish. I’ve heard lots of stories about bear around that area.
It sounds like you have multiple issues.
When you couldn’t chamber the rounds the first time they were probably undersized for your chamber.
When the brass was stuck in your chamber my guess is it is either an extractor or chamber issue and not related to the brass. The case stuck in your die...
TX_6um has a nice ring to it
I’m mainly thinking about it because I’m realizing I don’t need a 300, especially with the .223 thread. To be completely fair I don’t need a 6um either, but slinging bullets at 3300fps from a 16-18” barrel sounds fun. I also like reloading and have been wanting to...
Is there any reason to go faster than an 8 twist? I’d probably run an 18-19 inch barrel and do most of my hunting at sea level.
Also wondering if h4831 would be too fast?
