    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    According to Form, the Fusion is an excellent killing bullet. I picked up a couple hundred 150 Fusion overruns from Midway for my 7-08. It has been a really accurate load over SB 6.5. I believe Federal still sells a 150 Fusion load in 7mag too that is very popular. Not sure why the Fusion...

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    The 120 NBT shoots very well out of my Tikka over 44 grains of Varget.

    Unfortunately Tikka doesn't sell a rifle in 6cm yet.

    I have the OEM tiny fiber optic bead on my super 90. However, it was getting hard to see at my age, and I upgraded to a magnetic Hi-Viz bead. It's about 2" long and to your point snaps securely over the rib and is magnetic as well for extra security. I have it butted against my factory bead...

    25 the year for the 25?

    I've not yet, but N560 may be a good alternative to squeeze some additional velocity.

    25 the year for the 25?

    I'm getting 2820 out of my 22" 25-284 with 54.5gr of H1000. I'm pretty much at pressure with this load, and the 6.5 PRC case has essentially the same capacity. That's with the 134 ELDM at 3.14 COL. I only have around 60 rounds on the barrel, and I'm hoping it speeds up some. However, I'm not...

    25 the year for the 25?

    ...and others want an even faster quarter bore... Dont get me wrong, my 25-284 is sweet, but reading about @sportsmans challenge and @Piercision Rifles 25-7PRC and 25 Max, I got a hankering for an 18" launching the 130s @ 3100+.

    What is the logic behind changing charge weights after brass has been fired? Do you typically increase or decrease? I'm shooting Alpha as well...

    7mm-08 and 162 ELD-M

    Sounds like a plan, and the good news is that all of them are delivering decent accuracy and now just need a little fine tuning. I have the 162 ELDX seated at 2.25 CBTO for comparison. Not sure if the ELDM ogive position is significanlty different.

    7mm-08 and 162 ELD-M

    That accuracy is plenty good for hunting IMO, and roughly laying the rounds over each target, I'd say you're looking at 1-1.25 MOA. From memory, those speeds sound about right for Varget. I'm averaging 2,525 MV from my 18" Tikka and SB 6.5.

    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    Is this just a brush on application then?

    Calling all Badgers!!! Good places to eat in Madison by UW campus?

    I think WI leads the nation in alcohol consumption per capita if I recall correctly. They have a hand written tally of how many Korbel old fashions they've sold vs. all others, and it was over 1 million as of last week. Unfortunately, they didn't include any dorms in the tour. They suggested...

    Calling all Badgers!!! Good places to eat in Madison by UW campus?

    We stopped by The Old Fashioned after the tour. My daughter and I both had the house burger, and it's legitimately one of my top 5 favorite burgers I've eaten. My wife had the patty melt, and the meat and onions were good, but the bottom bun was soggy from being under the warmer too long. I...

    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    I also live in the land of salt, salt brine, and rust in Iowa. Undercoat and rust proofing were done today, and I plan to inspect and look for any other vulnerable areas. I've seen good things on fluid film as well, and that will likely get the nod.

    Hey guys, taking my daughter on a college visit to Madison tomorrow and looking for recommendations on good restaurants near the UW campus. Thank you in advance!

    I know, I know... How about "bullet resistant" or "breathable"... LOL!

    Discrete flares and splash guards?

    Thank you for the recommendations. I'm trying to bullet proof this truck as I want it to last many years to come. These chevys (I had a 2000 for over 20 years) rot out on the rockers, cab corners, and quarters. I spent a lot of time searching for this rust-free TX truck, and am trying to...
