Forms approach is the way to go
Torque depends on the screw size. Ring cap screws are almost always 8-40 and do well with 18-23 in-lb. Base screw size varies, and it's always best to glue the rail on to help the screws...
Yeah that's a big change for sure. Reducing the number of days will be interesting too, wasn't the original general premise behind this whole thing that effective range goes down as you start to stack days without practice? I don't recall the general trend from everyone last year, but my miss...
it could easily be that. guys have seen really dramatic lot to lot variations in factory stuff, particularly with hornady ammo. there's no guarantee that the powder is even the same type lot to lot on factory ammo.
to summarize the issues you've relayed so far:
1. unknown torque on action...
Did a little testing this winter, shooting a line from 60 yards and measuring vertical impact. 15 shots per arrow weight, threw out the highest and lowest impacts for each weight. For the remaining shots:
434 gr averaged 2.1" high
459 gr averaged 0.2" low
469 gr averaged 0.9" low
The bow...
For a hunting rifle can, I'd insist on 5/8×24 direct thread, 30 cal capable, and full titanium construction. Once you get into the handful of cans that fit that criteria, only the rugged Alaskan 360 has consistently bad reviews. I have zero regrets on my cgs hyperion purchases, now that I...
The lop on tikka compact stocks fit kids from about 55# and up. It's better if you raise the comb though to get their eye lined up with the scope. Rokstock is the easy way, my tikka stock mod thread is the cheap way.
SE PA public, 2021 and 2023. A good amount of luck involved in both kills, bigger one netted 130 0/8. Missed a p&y buck in the same area in 2022, saw one in 2023 and didn't get a shot. PA deer hunting now is nothing like it was 20 years ago.
Exodus is a really good head for basically all applications shooting 60+ #. Rage trypans are also very durable and cut a huge hole.
Deadmeat v1 125grs were a really good head, but the aluminum threaded post on the 100s is a weak point, and the new v2s have much thinner blades, which I do not...
