    Painless load development (mine)

    My load isn’t shooting any better than that, and I haven’t had any problems with animals. I’d say load up a bunch, get that thing really zeroed and start practicing the hunting rifle drill. Its not very satisfying to have that size of group when your shooting paper with your buddies, but it is...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    I just thought there might be more to the story than that since most of your bullet-/necropsy photos have a lot of details to go with them. Since the animal was recovered and that shot barely entered the back strap, we can assume that shot was a flyer, so we don’t have to count it.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Maybe so. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned since joining, and how much of a better shooter I am now. There’s a lot of knowledge in the collective of people using this site, and I’m very thankful for it. I grew up hunting and shooting, but I was like everybody else I knew. And when I look...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I saw a video from applied ballistics showing how much a gun moved before the bullet was out of the barrel. It was 3/8 of an inch or close to that. I don’t know the cartridge or bullet speed but I thought that was interesting. Recoil management is important, and a shooter with very poor recoil...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    I think you’re purposely misunderstanding the move towards smaller cartridges. Ryan Avery has burned out 8 or 9 300 RUM barrels and he’s shooting a 6mm currentl because he “can’t cope with a modicum of recoil”? I hope you’re just joking around. It’s been said enough times on this thread that...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Reading pressure from a primer might not give the full story. I had cci400’s flattening pretty well with a little cratering, and then swapped to rem 7 1/2’s and the edges are perfectly rounded still and no sign of any pressure. I know the 400s have a thinner cup and the 7 1/2’s have a thicker...

    Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

    I have the stove running pretty good, but it wants to blow some smoke back out the front and sounds like it’s struggling for air when I have it ripping pretty good. Is that a symptom of the flue being undersized? I’m considering the 3” option but it doesn’t look like anybody’s gotten around to...

    What is "proper cheek weld" I'm getting different advice

    I think that when I asked Form, he said you can rest your face on the stock, then lift up about an eighth of an inch. I hope I’m not misrepresenting what he said, but I believe resting your face on it is full pressure, and then lifting up an eighth should reduce the amount of pressure (and...

    Bino Harness Recommendation

    I thought both the fhf and the marsupial opened the same. What’s the difference? Does anybody know if the rare earth magnets in the front and back of the fhf harness has any effect on range finding binos or any other electronic gear you’d have near them?

    Tikka M695 rebarrel?

    I didn’t know they made those in left and had them in the states. If you hate it (and I hope you do) I’ll take it off your hands. Edit- I just looked it up and I was mistaking it for the master sporter
