    Fed Fusion

    I know this doesnt really matter. Its a short-med range bullet. But I just happened to see that the Fusion .308 150gr component bullets are listed at .387 BC and they list the Fusion 308 150gr ammo at .414.............so which is it? Surely they dont have 2 different 150gr 308 Fusion bullets.

    FFP vs SFP and necessity

    for a Comp/Target scope at that distance that will also pull hunting duty, I would go with FFP.

    Realistic MOA Expectations vs Marketing

    So im going to throw my opinion in the ring. #1 I think we have to set expectations about what is reasonable to expect out of a rifle. I have a T3x superlite in 308 stock @6.2lbs and a Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5CM stock @9lbs. I dont expect them to do the same things. I dont expect the savage...

    Starting point for 6.5CM

    Yeah I know all about rabbit holes. Personally the only other thing I could get into would be 2 or 3-gun but I think rimfire versions of that would suit me just fine.

    Starting point for 6.5CM

    Im not that busy, so time isnt an issue. Most of my evenings are spent watching tv or playing video games. Id be far better off actually using my brain. I dont look at is as strictly cost saving, it could be at some point but it would take a while. I look at it as achieving better loads...

    Starting point for 6.5CM

    A few points for my case. I am only interested in reloading 6.5cm, maybe 308 later. Nothing else. Im looking at reloading as a way to control/tune what I shoot for less cost than ordering custom. My calculations put break even at about 1540rds, assuming $1000 for all equipment (just...

    S&B 6.5CM case

    Anything to know about these cases? I have a bunch of empties I'll plan to use for reloading unless there is some reason I shouldn't.

    Starting point for 6.5CM

    Looking to get a starting recipe, novice match grade, probably 140gr, out of a 24" Savage 110, longest shot to 1000yds. Just wanting to calculate a ballpark $/shot. I have no reloading gear yet, ill be asking about that next if the $/shot is favorable. Thanks

    Trouble choosing between Tikka t3x superlite and browning x-bolt speed spr

    I think Lite vs Superlite is .2lbs so essentially nothing. What are you looking for from 6.5 PRC that 270 doesn't do? If you said 300 PRC or 300WM, or 6 Creedmoor, or 22 Creedmoor I wouldn't question it. I don't see the point in having extremely similar rifles in very similar calibers. If...

    ISO Brake

    From what i've found the Rex Silentium Tridelta .30 brake should suit me best(of the ones i've looked at). Minimal blast, respectable recoil and muzzle jump reduction, and low profile. I can't find it available anywhere. Anyone have any ideas where I can get one or offer another comparable...

    Where to buy rifles online...

    only 2 of my purchases have been online, 1 through Sportsmans Warehouse and 1 through PSA. Both were easy, no problems. PSA had a great price, SW was just reasonable. Im more interested in how you arrived at searching for a .30-06 auto. Care to elaborate? Not criticizing, just curious.

    Your Purpose-Built Hunting Firearm Arsenal

    Thats a bold move, listing so much of your collection with the possibility of feds monitoring (call me crazy if you want, doesn't bother me). I'm not that brave. But suffice to say that I thought similarly in my youth. I had my 12 I got when I was15, I wanted a big game rifle, and a 22 and I...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    To which I would say that you aren't aware of them, but they still exist. It may be the kinds of things that you don't ever consciously think about, but your brain is still processing them.

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    "Long in the tooth" and Toyota don't really go together. Not sure what would cause you to say that. I have an 08 4runner with 273k, aside from the paint I cant imagine it being in better shape. I am all for people doing what they want with their money, but I would encourage you to really...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    error exists in everything. No plan goes exactly perfectly, variables change, we have to adapt (hopefully quickly, accurately, and precisely enough).

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I definitely said that is NOT my approach. Only that I can understand the logic. It seems like you only read the part you wanted to reply to, not the whole thing. I would ask you to re-read the whole thing and then decide if your reply makes sense.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    pick something with a proven track record of success (defined as confirmed ethical kills) and that fits your specific needs and get good with it. Leave all the other mess behind. That being said, I can certainly see a case for going as "big" or "powerful" as possible that you can shoot well...
