    EDC Knife Choice - Want Edge retention and sharpness

    Kershaw Blur is a great blade for the cost. Easy open/assisted open, whether strong or weak hand, and whether you engage it tip up or tip down. The sculpted tabs work great.

    Upgrade short action or buy long action

    7-08 will work quite nicely for you. Max distance for big game hunting? In what way do you like to adjust for shooting further out?

    Upgrade short action or buy long action

    Budget for your scope? Magnification range you are considering? Typical max distance for hunting beg game? I like the VX 5HD 3-15x44. Choose the reticle that you prefer. I have recently picked up a Trij recently, but have not had the opportunity to use it yet

    Cleaning a very dirty barrel

    I clean when my barrel tells me too. It also depends on the level of accuracy you are wanting/needing. For a lot of hunting situations, given the typical max distance, you could go a long time without cleaning.

    Help w Rifle Inaccuracy

    Good idea. No reason to clean it for that many rounds unless you get some kind of debris in there. When you do clean it, run 5-10 rounds through the bore before you recheck your zero or any downrange drops. Every barrel fouls in differently.

    Bushing or FL Resizing Die? Help a Newb

    Bushing or FL Resizing Die? Help a Newb

    SloppyJ, The more you spend time with this, the more it will make sense. Ideally, having someone locally (who knows what they are doing) to mentor you is the best. Even short range benchrest shooters (100/200 yard) FL resize their brass today. Besides Erik, Winning In The Wind, F-Class John...

    The goal, as mentioned earlier, is NOT to return to SAAMI specs but resize your brass according to your chamber. Go for a shoulder bump of 2 thou, and you will be good to go. Check out some or Erik Cortina's videos
