    Peax Equipment?

    Wasn't aware, but I often debate with myself, so no surprise there! Regardless, my comments address a broader audience than bsnedeker since I've seen what I consider un-founded PEAX-bashing/hating/criticism in multiple threads.

    Peax Equipment?

    Really? I don't get this perspective... seems like many people are looking for someone to hate because it's the cool thing to do. Hard to believe folks are so thin-skinned because I find Gritty content to be generally entertaining and mildly annoying at worst. I've seen plenty of harsh words...

    Scope bell/barrel spacing concerns.

    I have about the same gap (just over a quarter (coin) thick) on my 300 WSM mounted with a Burris Veracity 50mm objective scope. No issues with the scope touching the barrel. I can't flex the scope towards the barrel by any discernable amount with my hands and have had no issues after 100+...

    Homemade Backcountry Boot Dryer

    Thank you, just ordered those fans to go with the covers my tech-savvy brother printed for me. Under $15 in total materials. I think these dryers will work great with my hot tipi setup where I can hang my boots up high above the stove. Dry boots each morning for late fall hunting will be amazing.

    Clickers. . 7 SAUM . . Im confused

    Thanks for that a great description. Can you clarify the difference between a clicker and a "stiff bolt lift" that would result from a hot charge? Would the stiff bolt not typically make the click? I've not thought about the difference when extracting spent cases... but will now.

    Tikka trigger.. how light is too light?

    2 lbs for my Tikka 300 WM used for hunting. Anything lighter seems unsafe for shooting from a potentially less-than-perfect non-benchrest setup for me. Vertical grip stock made a big difference in the ease of pulling the trigger without moving my hand and pulling the shot.

    Barnes Quality Control

    Agreed! There's something about a perfect bullet that makes me feel that the round will shoot better. I have three boxes of perfect Hornady CX bullets (308 150, 165, and 180gr) with centered plastic tips and some 308 175gr Badlands Bulldozer with beautiful, concentric aluminum tips. My 308 175...

    Barnes Quality Control

    An offset tip on a spear, certainly, and arrow, maybe. But I'd bet you a cold one that simple aerodynamics are not representative of the trajectory of supersonic bullets spinning at >200,000 rpm, where an offset tip essentially becomes a solid object with slightly larger frontal diameter than a...

    Choosing where to live in Alaska

    The best part about living in Anchorage is that my 15 minute commute leaves me with ample time after work to walk my dogs, exercise, do home projects, spend time with the wife, and find time for enjoyment during work days. Didn't know what I was missing with a 30-60 minute commute when I lived...

    300 wsm 190 impact

    That's what I went straight to based on reports from others in this forum. The case is right about 100% full and I think the burn rate is between H4350 and H1000.

    Reloading pressure sign help? CA 300 wsm

    I get light ejector marks with factory WSM ammo and also Norma brass (but not ADG brass), so those themselves wouldn't concern me. But the cratered primers you have are a sure sign of pressure. Hard to tell from the photos if the primers are also flattened, which would be expected if they are...

    Trichinosis, be honest, have you gotten it?

    Largely eradicated from commercial pork because of anti-parasitic drugs. But feral hogs and bears will always pose a risk for trichnosis. Steve Rinella of Meateater contracted trichnosis a while ago and provided some interesting information about the prevalence of trichnella in Montana black...

    300 wsm 190 impact

    67.5gr of H4831SC and Norma brass looks promising for me with ~2780fps and SDs of 8-12 fps out of my 20" 1:11 barrel Tikka. Generally get 5-shot groups with 3-4 touching shots with one "flier" that may be due to some neck tension inconsistencies that I'm ironing out. Yes, I understand shot...

    Trichinosis, be honest, have you gotten it?

    To clarify, CDC is not saying you need to buy two meat grinders, etc. Rather, they are stating that you should not use the same utensils on different meats while processing (don't process bear and deer at the same time with the same knife, etc.), then the second sentence clarifies that...

    Tikka Threading Questions

    3" is about the length of the straight section ahead of the flutes, so that would mean no shortening on a Tikka superlight barrel. I have a 300 WSM Tikka barrel cut about 1/4" ahead of the flutes it shoots great with a load near max pressure. The thread adapter screws on smoothly and the crown...
