    Kuiu Layering system feedback

    Northeast active and stand hunter here. Mostly rifle. Have the guide dcs in xl, axis in L, kenai in xl, and an old Kutana soft shell in L. Also a kenai vest in L. Love that thing. Axis in XL and Kenai In L would be my choice of a do over. You can cover a lot with just those two and I...

    Is the 300 WSM Dead?

    I have no experience with bench, large volume shooting or long range hunting. From a traditional hunting perspective 300 wsm is as good as ever. Ammo availability and prices are decent again. It’s been cyclic and on an uptick. Norma, win, rem, hornady, federal, Nosler all have one or more...

    300 WSM Powder

    RL17 made a shooter out of a featherweight classic I’m the third, fifth and seventh owner of. Doesn’t shoot any factory ammo that I’ve tried. Sold the gun to family twice and said bring it back if you hate it. They did.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    Biology. 7-08 or 308 with light coppers and fast powder. When you get old, inflammation makes recoil less fun and guns and boots heavier. Let the little gun do the work.

    Are horandy interbonds any good.

    Recently started reloading and grabbed a box of 165s and 180s just to practice making rounds go bang. My first recipe for my 300 wsm is 62 grains of rl17 and a 180. Well under 1 inch out of a gun that never shot factory worth a darn. Done, if it shoots that well in the cold anyway. Going to...

    WTS First Lite Solitude Vest--Large

    This is probably the best heavy piece I own. Absolutely love it. Very versatile. Can walk with it or stow it fairly easily. Side zips. All the pockets, protection and warmth of a full jacket without the tiny sleeves. Someone will love it if you don’t decide to keep it.

    Is the 300 WSM Dead?

    Not ever the easiest cartridge to stumble upon a factory load your gun likes with a bullet you actually want. Pick up 10 boxes as you can, see what it likes if anything. If not, force yourself to reload if you don’t already. I’m new at it and it’s not hard to get the basics going. Very...

    300 WSM Future

    Glad I didn’t exit the 300 wsm. Started hand loading. First recipe shot small groups for me in a gun that hated everything factory I ever tried. I’m the third owner. Loaded up 20 hornady interlock 180s with 62 grains of rl17 to sight in having taken off the stock and scope, cleaned everything...

    Kuiu durability

    Don’t give up on merino man. I just tossed 3 pair of woolX boxers while my kuiu are going strong. I think it’s the seem that shredded them. 2021 version I believe. Same scenario a bunch of years ago with some cabela’s MTP (synthetic) boxers of two different generations of construction. The...

    KUIU Super Down Pro Sizing

    You will def be good with the Large. Received my XL. It works for my use over everything with room to spare. 5’-6” 190 42” chest.

    KUIU Super Down Pro Sizing

    i think the xl in both will fit about the same….. only a guess but here’s why I think so: Right there with you on the kenai. It’s big. Wish I had a large instead of xl since I use it as a mid layer. It works, but large wouldn’t be so much fluff as you prob know already. I ordered the XL pro...

    The most repeated thread topics *or* posts?

    If I don’t hand load, is BOAL really that important?

    30-06 200.20x

    Glad to see success with RL 17 on so many strings. Grabbed some for my 300 wsm, now thinking all I want to hand load for are my -06 and .308. Started looking on here and see I may not need to go find some 16 for the -06 (or 22 or 23, whichever that was,) if the 17 turns out ok. Very cool.

    Tikka T3x Lite not shooting well

    I’m learning as I go, and the reason for jumping into this forum after years of watching. People here are normal and help you figure things out. Now for me, about 15 years into shooting rifles with highly variable frequency, I noticed this past weekend that when I rest my swivel stud on the...

    Solid color insulated jacket

    What Kuhls have you used? I have some pants and wondered about the jackets. Thanks! for Kuiu, I LOVE my peloton 240 as an outer as you want to use it. Only has low side pockets though. Wind resistance is very good and it fights off light water really well. Great stretch and not at all...

    How often is 1 MOA "really" 1 MOA?

    If you don’t scrub your rifle, should the next shot, maybe being a cold shot at game, be as good as your last shot at the range if conditions are similar? Serious question from a guy who grew up on an 870 express for everything. it makes sense and I ask since my 30-06 bar mk3, 2-7 vx1 with 150...

    Kuiu durability

    I have a couple day packs and really like them. Use the divide 1500 for flights as well as all the outdoor stuff.

    300 WSM Future

    I’m glad you mentioned that Jm. Just found 3 boxes of accubond 180 bullets I had given up watching for. Thanks!

    Looking for suggestions

    Had this same question in my head. Was thinking 25-06 or 280 with a hand loader in the family who has and uses both a lot. He’s a good shooter and says deer don’t run when hit with the 25. NE whitetail and coyotes. Not overly big deer but he doesn’t shoot any small ones. Then everything got...

    What bow is everyone shooting?

    Bowtech patriot. That’s why I’m here, have no idea what’s next but could be soon.
