    6mm prc

    I've often thought that the next logical extension of the 6.8 Western case would be a 6mm version. It would certainly be similar to this.

    Bullet for whitetail deer from 6mm Creedmoor

    No brainer ... 108 ELD-M all day everyday with that twist. Near or far.

    Bullet for whitetail deer from 6mm Creedmoor

    I'd look at the 108 ELD-M from a 6 Creed. If you want to go lighter the 95 NBT is a lights-out bullet in 6mm rifles!

    9mm Bear defense pistol ammo?

    There are grizzlies roaming freely all through Idaho, with a fairly healthy population in the Panhandle and the Selkirks. North Cascades National Park in NW Washington also has quite a few. They have been spotted as far south and East as I-90 near Cle Elum.

    9mm Bear defense pistol ammo?

    Thanks. I haven't been able to find the aluminum mag releases from Shield ..... only steel. Do you happen to have a link? I am seriously thinking about a G48 MOS for this use.

    9mm Bear defense pistol ammo?

    In which pistols with what (if any) mods?

    7mm SAW Questions

    Energy doesn't matter. Impact velocity and bullet construction do. The longer, sleeker bullets fired from the 7mm SAW will have a larger window of effective range than a standard 7mm-08.

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    Tough question! My all-time favorite handgun is the G17 Gen 4. I am convinced that Glock somehow used a model of my hand when they were developing the finger grooves for that model. It really is a perfect fit, although way too large for most carry duties I'd require. Helluva nightstand pistol...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    The Glock 43X and Glock 48 both feel VERY nice.

    7mm SAW Questions

    No help with your questions, I'm afraid. I'm just tagging in to see what kind of responses you get as this cartridge makes a great deal of sense to me as something that can be used for hunting with the 162 ELD-M or 162 ELD-X.

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    A Ruger American scoped package, Savage Axis scoped package or Winchester XPR scoped package in 6.5 Creedmoor. Great availability of ammo from 100gr - 150gr+ takes care of everything he'd ever hunt and he could find the ammo almost anywhere.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Another fallacy. There is no such thing as a larger hunting-type cartridge providing "added insurance" for a non-lethal hit. A bad hit with a .243 is no different than the same bad hit with a .300 RUM.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Easy answer for me. The 6.5 Creedmoor is ubiquitous at this point. It is the "OG" of the modern, efficient cartridges and ammo is available everywhere.

    I want a 6.8 Western…but…

    You could always by a Winchester Model 70 in 6.8 Western. That would eliminate the rebarrelling issues.

    Best All Copper Cartridge for Whitetail Deer for a Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor?

    If the Winchester Copper Impact 125gr shoots well in the rifle, that is what I would run. That bullet expands better than other copper bullets which makes it a very good choice for deer. It opens quickly, does a ton of damage because of it then usually leaves a very nice exit wound.

    Looks nice but with the poor customer service still pervasive, I’ll pass.

    Suppressor-Ready Factory Rifle < $2K in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Not under a rock. I’ve just never been a huge Tikka fan as I’ve never liked their stocks. So, the “cheap” Tikka rifle always seemed to be priced quite a bit higher than other cheap rifles simply because a new stock was needed to make it half-way livable. Now, the same cheap rifle at $1500 plus...

    Suppressor-Ready Factory Rifle < $2K in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Nice you can get a chop and thread for $150. About $400 or more here. I’d still need to buy a new stock, as well.

    Suppressor-Ready Factory Rifle < $2K in 6.5 Creedmoor

    Jesus. When did $399 Tikka rifles get to $1,500?
