    Suppressor vs Muzzle Brake for Long Range Hunting

    Yep watch the deer at Strategic Edge. They are used to gun fire. On my lease that is 15 minutes from SE, folks are shooting guns year round. Deer aren’t really spooked by it.

    Suppressor vs Muzzle Brake for Long Range Hunting

    Agree although it’s pretty tough to spot hits with a healthy charge from a 6.5 PRC and a factory Tikka stock, even with a can.

    Suppressor vs Muzzle Brake for Long Range Hunting

    I threw my APA Little Bastard on my 20” Tikka 308 shooting 178 ELDX and forgot how easy it was to spot hits and misses at 600 yards. I like my suppressor, but the recoil impulse makes spotting impacts more difficult than a brake. For long range hunting, especially hunting alone, do you...

    Dropping Ball Powder Charges without Weighing?

    Bumping this back up to the top because I tried something tonight that has been discussed in the thread. I loaded up fifty 308 cases tonight with Ramshot TAC and 178 ELDX. Once I got my powder measure set, I simply lifted up my loading block and went from case to case dropping charges. Wow it...

    KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

    How would you say it compares to the Tikka stock? I’m one of those odd ones that actually likes the Tikka stock with minor modifications.

    Banish backcountry review

    I did not shoot the rifle before having it cut. As soon as I got it from the FFL, I drove it over to Bug Holes and had them cut it back and thread it. My guess would be about a 50 FPS loss, so negligible.

    Suppressor Cover Recommendations

    I did not receive one but definitely interested in trying it out!

    7PRC or stay with 6.5PRC

    Not sure if you play golf but the best analogy would be practicing 90% of the time with the long irons when 90% of the shots are within wedge range.

    All things .308 Win

    Threw a muzzle brake on the 308 Tikka CTR today and shot 50 rounds of 168 ELDM handloads. I was hammering the 8” plate at 600 yards in 15-25 MPH winds. I forgot how much easier it is to spot impacts with a good brake on a 308.

    Riflescope for Bergara 6.5 prc

    I recommend a Zeiss Conquest V4 in 4-16x44 with a Z-Plex reticle. They run about $1K It’s a basic second focal plane duplex reticle that will be easy for kids. The Zeiss duplex is a little finer than the duplex in the Leupolds, but not too fine.

    BURRIS customer services

    I received a brand new Veracity PH today via UPS. My original had to go back 2x and the second time, they replaced it with a new one. I’m very happy with their warranty and service.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    Great range with yardages out to 1K and plenty of electronic targets and steel to shoot at. It’s best you make a visit.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    Shot at the range with a guy that had the Nomad TI XC on a 26” barrel 300 win mag. I was amazed how quiet it was at the shot. A big part of that is the 26” barrel, but it’s a sweet can.

    Questions about the irrelevance of energy (ft-lbs)

    I like to think a .30 cal 178 grain ELDX hitting a deer at 1800 fps is going to cause more damage than a .243 cal 108 ELDM at 1800 FPS. Although velocity is the same, the 178 has a larger diameter and more momentum to drive through an animal.

    All things .308 Win

    Excuse me if I’ve already posted this but a 178 ELDX smacks the living poo out of a steel plate down range.

    Tikka trigger spring fail

    I never had an issue with the Mountain Tactical trigger springs.

    How did the 6.5 Creedmoor lose steam so quickly?

    The 6.5 Creedmoor is a well balanced cartridge. Good barrel life, light recoil, high BCs, and effective against a lot of the game most folks hunt in the US. A pound of H4350 yields about 150 rounds of 6.5 CM, so it’s rather economic to load as well.

    KRG Bravo vs. Stocky’s VG for Hunting + PRS

    Yep I’ve got some interest but also, it doesn’t offer much more than the Tikka stock once you upgrade the Tikka stock with the vertical grip and add a cheek riser. I do like you can add a barrier stop on the Echo and it’s more of a chassis.
