    7 PRC v 280 AI v 30-06

    How’s the head height room look for the 280 ai with 175 gr bullets?

    I have not, only have an Osprey barrel on the way so far.

    Tikka LA 300 WSM and 212 LRX

    I’ve since moved attention to the 7mm PRC because of the new 160 LRX. I shared a moose hunt with Ben Reynolds with his 6 CM and was shown how unnecessary 200+ gr bullets are. If I didn’t like Barnes bullets so much I might go even smaller with a lead bullet but I think that 160 lrx 7mm bullet...

    Best spotter around 2k

    I feel the same about my 883 and 3-series RRS tripod. No substitute for being able to find more animals

    Best spotter around 2k

    An used Kowa 77. You may find used 88's not much more. Inflation has fit the new market hard.

    Which one are you choosing, NL Pure 14x52 or 10x52?

    I hope the 12x52’s come so when they do, I can scoop up the 10x52’s for only a single kidney.

    Over Barrel vs End of Barrel Suppressor

    User of an AB 10 stack w/ 3” reflex here on a 338 wm. I love it. My experience with other suppressors are a TBAC Dominus on a 308 win and Scythe on a 6 CM. I feel the reduced recoil impulse is the most significant difference. I think it’s the large volume chamber in the reflex before the...

    Twist rate effects on terminal ballistics

    With non-frangible monometals, I am curious if there's any downside to higher RPM's. Seems it would only help if there's any difference, except for possibly very slightly lower muzzle velocity at the same pressures.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    6 pages in less than 12 hours. This must be a touchy subject. Why are people bothered by opening a thread to hear about failures, when there's already the giant threads about success. Let failure reports come. If they don't, this thread can die.

    Mono Wound Channels vs Match Bullets

    I don’t think the two wounds from a lead and nonfrangible mono can be equated on some scale. They’re just different. What I see with my ttsx wounds are small narrow wounds in the meat unless it hits bone (then of course there’s a lot of downward), but it’s like the lungs have gone through a...

    WTB Aftermarket Left-Hand Tikka Stock

    I have a mojave color Mesa Precision (now named Pure Precision) Altitude left hand tikka stock. Inleted for a proof sendero barrel. I've installed a Mountain Tactical short arca rail in front of the mag well, which did require tapping and installing a screw hole. I've discovered that my new...

    .277 and/or .338 Bullet Recommendations

    Love the 210 ttsx from a 338 wm.

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    There’s some benefit to the lactate threshold, as it strengthens the foundation for it, but I wouldn’t categorize it as such. The effort is more similar to marathon type effort, but the fatigue is aimed at working with resistance that we aren’t adapted to so we end up to breaking down...

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    For the purpose of being better for extended periods (over 1 or more hours at a time), our target should be the aerobic muscle fibers. To stress those, we must stay away from recruiting significant anaerobic fibers or else fatigue builds too quickly and bouts end before the aerobic fibers are...

    Average cost of a Moose hunt

    Certainly less than $1000. This biggest expense is the processing when I go that route, other than that, about $100-200 of gas to get to my area.

    3rd Shot Fliers Advice

    Maybe it's the pressure of the final shot that is the flier. Either way, use a larger sample size.

    Packable spotter of choice??

    Packable means different things to different people. It doesn’t need to be easy to be worth it.

    Barnes 160 LRX in 7PRC

    This may be of interest. I’ve been planning a 6.5 PRC project for some time, but this bullet will probably have me move to the 7. A reduced load and/or with shorter barrel with this 160 can still carry velocity better than the 127 from the 6.5 PRC.

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

    Have you learned any more about these two bullets for moose? I am also curious, heading toward building either a 6 CM or 6.5 PRC with either of these kept above 2k fps.
