    Tapatalk app issues with iPhone

    I’m having issues with this forum in Tapatalk jumping pages while I’m scrolling through posts. It often jumps anywhere from 10-20 post back as I’m reading and scrolling down. It’s happened for several months and I have made sure I’m not hitting the page up arrow when it happens. I have updated...

    Moisture on scope lenses

    What is the best way to clean scope lenses of water while hunting? I was hunting in the rain this evening and had my lenses covered with butler creek scope caps. They work good until I had a shot opportunity that didn’t present itself. After that I had moisture on the lenses that I could not...

    300wm Federal Power Shock clone?

    I have recently started working on my Browning A bolt 300wm and thus far I can’t find anything that shoots remotely a well as the federal blue box 180gr power shock. I have tried 178eldx, 180gr interlock and 165gr interlock. With 4831sc and H1000 nothing comes close to those cheap blue box...

    Trijicon Huron BDC

    I really like the Trijicon scopes for a simple 1” BDC scope. However I’m having a hard time understanding their BDC drops on the reticle. It seems to me based on the ballistics from my rifles their BDC drops are for very slow or poor bc cartridges. With the first drop at 2.24MOA, then 5MOA, and...

    Help understanding bullet BC

    So I was looking at bullet BCs today and I noticed that Hornady shows the exact same G1 and G7 numbers for the 6mm 108gr ELDM as the .270 143gr ELDX. Can someone explain to me why the 108 is so highly thought of and the 270 is made out to be a bowling ball? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5” .243 or 6.5CM?

    I got a gift card for a new rifle and will be buying a tikka and cutting it to 16.5” for my suppressor. Application is for whitetail out to 500 yards. I’m trying to to decide between a 8” twist 243 or a 6.5CM. I handload so I can get the benefit out of the fast twist 243. Trying to decide in the...

    Iron Will S100 vs S125

    Has anyone seen a performance difference in the solid 100 vs the solid 125? I know the blade design is a little stubbier on the 100 and the ferrule is titanium instead of hardened steel. Do those represent such in terminal performance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Outdoorsman Tripod for shooting

    I currently have a complete Outdoorsman tripod set up with a pan head and plates on all my optics. To say I’m investing in the system is an understatement. I have done some limited shooting with a Bogg saddle mount on the pan head and it seemed ok. Is there a preferred system for shooting off an...

    Pressure increasing with continuous shots?

    I ran into pressure signs on some 308 I was shooting today at the end of a 5 shot group. The first 3 shots seemed fine and I was visually inspecting each brass for pressure signs. The fourth shot had a heavy bolt lift and slight ejector mark. The 5 was more noticeable with bolt lift and ejector...

    .223/ 5.56 die set question

    I know this will sound elementary, but I’m getting set up to reload and have a Ruger American Ranch that is stamped 5.56 and I’m looking for a die set. Should I be looking at 223 or 5.56 sets? My other ARs are 223 Wylde. Lastly what is a good die set for someone that will probably only do...

    WTB WTB: Wyoming Elk preference point

    Okay, yeah I know that’s now how it works but hear me out. I’m sitting on 4 elk points in Wyoming and until recently thought I was basically guaranteed a tag. So much so that I’ve already made all my arrangements starting last year. Now it’s looking like it might take 4.? or more to draw 100%...

    Wyoming 2023 general party application

    I know this is a long shot and maybe taboo, but I am sitting on 4 Wyoming elk points and until recently was 100% confident in drawing a NR General tag this year. If anyone is burning 5 points or more for a general tag and would allow me to join a party application to bump my number above 4 id...

    Primer selection?

    I’m am getting back into reloading and am a little confused about primer selection given the current shortages. The only large rifle primers I have been able to find available are CCI 200 LRP. However, a lot of the load data I’ve looked at shows Win. primers and I have a buddy that only uses...
