    Sure about that? Looking pretty solid at the moment

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

    Yeah seems like the 6.5 is the move. Pretty easy to get the 124 Hammers north of 3k in a PRC, which retains plenty of speed for expansion farther than I'd ever shoot. Not cool enough to have "Creedmoor" or "ultra" in the name or anything, but my Howa Alpine in .243 cloverleafs 70 grain Hammers...

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

    I'll be in AK so probably more like the chart below. 2K for a mono is pretty marginal in my book, think I'd feel way better with the extra speed and energy a 6.5 retains at that distance for sheep or goats

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

    That or a 6.5 PRC. Interesting concept with the Cayuga. Seems like the terminal results are mixed. As cool as it would be to hop on the olde 6mm 'slide bandwagon, seems like going bigger is really the only way for conventional monos to have anything left in the tank at said ranges

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

    Second this if anyone has data on the 95 LRX. Looks like a great projectile, but a quick run through the ballistics calculator shows 400 to be about their max effective range for big game. Anyone verify this and/ or have suggestions on a 6mm mono that stays in the game to 500+?

    6mm creedmoor and 95 grain lrx

    Resurrecting this since I've been playing with 6mm ballistic calculators. Anyone know if there's such thing as a copper mono you can take much past this? Seems like you really have to go to 6.5 to really get 500+ with an ethical velocity.

    Who is the Toyota of small outboards 9.9-15 HP 4 stroke?

    I've put together three microskiffs in the last year, for myself and friends. All engines were brand new, two Mercury 15 EFI four strokes and my most recent came with a Yamaha 9.9. I used to run Yamaha saltwater series engines when I guided, so I gave it a shot. I hate it. The tiller is on the...

    Time for another 7 Backcountry Thread

    Just for giggles, went to check what 6.8 Western looks like on Midway... there is one kind of factory ammo available, at over $3/ round ☠️

    First one Mullins' recent trades, second one a roster shot of the environment/ public work committee. Yall aren't mirroring Pelosi's trades?

    Anyone look into AMAT? Chip and semiconductor company. Stock price is down 40% since July when they lost a big government contract, but they just started spending a ton of money of lobbying... and within the last few weeks several members of the senate committee for environment and public works...

    30AS Project

    Anyone have or use one of these? Apparently the budget version of 336s, made from the mid 80s to 90s. Found one with some water damage online a few weeks ago and grabbed it to see if I could get it into decent hunting shape. Little oxpho blue and some tung oil later and she's not looking...

    30-06 Pressure Signs

    This is exactly what I'd do. Keep in mind that charges in factory ammo are generally measured by volume rather than weight, so the actual amount of powder routinely varies by half a grain or more. That is to say, your .2 grains of variance isn't much in the grand scheme of things. And, if you...

    Well this was a great opportunity for you to learn more about your username and how Pittman Robertson works- there are silver linings!

    Scope Recommendation - 400 yards

    First I'm interested in hearing about how this federal tax exemption prevents you from paying P-R taxes on riflescopes... since they that tax is actually assessed twice, the first of which is when they are manufactured. Neither I nor my friend I'm currently hunting with (who is a financial...

    Non Alcoholic After dinner drink

    FYSA: https://www.delish.com/food-news/a44566150/pfas-chemicals-sparkling-water-explained/ Congrats on quitting, alcohol is the dumbest drug out there. Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, but try kombucha. Fizzy, tasty, probiotic, fraction of the sugar in most canned drinks.

    Va late season blues

    One thing to consider, it's almost a guarantee that at least part of your property does in fact get hunted by dogs. Even if the guys killing the deer aren't on it physically, almost every property in that part of the state has dogs running across it by now, which significantly degrades deer...

    High Mileage Hawken

    About what I was thinking. Was actually shooting a 130 year old Marlin 1893 yesterday that has very little discernable rifling, and it shoots great. I'm still scrubbing the hell out of this thing, honestly never seen anything like it. These are probably around the 30th patches I've sent down...
