    Nrl hunter match strategy question

    I figured that’s what most do (that’s what I do). I didn’t know if their was a newer or better method, considering how quickly the shooting games have evolve lately. What was once accepted practice/equipment “standard” seems to change every year.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    No I cannot- because I’m over it. 308 is it 🤙🏻 I’m actually going out tonight to buy another one just to collect dust in the safe.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I never said you cannot make stuff die with a 308. It can do that sometimes….but in comparison to the modern cartridges of today- it is not relevant. Tell me please, where the 308 is a better choice other than the reason I’m which I have already stated. I’ll add barrel life as a positive...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Ok, keep saying the 308 is awesome- are you trying to say those people are making that same claim??? Like that’s the hill your dying on bro? To reiterate- we have many better choices. Gunwerks would pick your lousy 308 over a 6.5 prc for example? Or the hornady guys would say energy delivery on...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Man, keep up - I was referring to what you were saying and making a satirical reference to how very ignorant you are in the fact that you honestly believe energy is irrelevant…. Now that I just to wasted time spelling it out to you. It’s called sarcasm. This has devolved into a sling shot vs...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    And to add….energy is irrelevant in terminal ballistics 🤣. You’re done, bro.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    It’s physics man- a TON of better cartridges out their that will deliver vastly superior performance in literally every metrics. I’m not saying your 308 is not lethal….. it certainly is. But the round is dead, when we compared it to more modern designs. Definitely not a top choice for THE one...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    The only reason to buy a 308 is for a prepper to consider ammo sources in a shtf situation. As soon as nato ditches the musket, that will make it even less relevant. The only reason I have an ar10 in 308 collecting dust lonely corner of the safe.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Aside from nastalgia- why on earth is the 308 even being considered relevant??? We might as well discuss the merits of the hawken over the kentucky long rifle😂. 308 as a trainer- sure. You will gain a huge appreciation for wind calls/range. The 308 sucks ballz in the wind, drops like a...

    Laser on a bear defense gun?

    I wouldn’t even consider it. Lasers should stay in soccer mom’s purses. Learn to shoot irons or a dot. Front sight focus is what it’s all about. Ask yourself- do ANY of the pros/shooting sport guys dick around with a laser? There’s are reasons for why they use what the do.

    Compound bow replacement limb sources?

    I did find a pair….that was a while ago. I don’t even remember where, but it did take a lot of searching. It’s probably only gotten harder to find. I would contact Hoyt directly and see what they have. Maybe they have a set on the shelf. They probably have a few bow models that share the same limb.

    One shot question 🧐

    I try to always clean them before I run them through the sizing die. I smoked a die with a single grain of sand. Every piece of brass that ran through it had a deep gouge. I couldn’t polish that out of the die body.

    Can Rokslide do better?

    Who wants yet another subscription fee? WE collectively make this thing worthwhile. I would bail tomorrow if fees were added -just out of principle. If people can’t decipher a bot/scammer or can’t self-regulate a simple forum, then we are a sorry bunch. I think it’s overall a good place to...

    One shot question 🧐

    I’m going to give the 90 alcohol spray a go. Seems like the quickest method. Thanks for the tip. My procedure is: deprime, then 1.5 hour wet tumble (btw - try ditching the stainless media 🤙🏻) then resize/load. I’d hate to throw them back in a tumbler if I could avoid it, but I see why you do.

    One shot question 🧐

    I have been shooting my reloads without cleaning off the one shot lube, even when I was using imperial die wax I never really cleaned my cases after resizing, come to think of it. Anyway, do you guys take the extra time to clean the one shot off after resizing? To my knowledge, I don’t think an...

    Suppressor question?

    Thunderbeast are totally repeatable, as long as your mounting interface is solid. I cannot speak to other manufacturers. Most reputable cans should be as well, but do your own testing to validate. Of course you should expect poi shift when firing without the can. Some are more significant than...

    lightning fire strike

    Stay after it buddy! I’m always solo as well because I’m not waiting around for my “let’s go next year” friends. As solo hunters, we need to be 100% self reliant and stack the odds in our favor any way possible. Fire, first aid, water, navigation, and light are things that I have redundant back...

    lightning fire strike

    3.25 ounces mini, 4.5 ounces standard. It’s not much difference. I’m not worried about the storage capacity of either. I’m curious about the amount of striking surface between the two. The more the better, but if the mini is a flame thrower- I won’t need the bigger model.
