    JRE L

    If what broadhead a celebrity uses shocks and disappoints you, or cant grasp that some folks simply care about what works for them / DGAF and can separate the art from the artist, then I highly suggest you go out and touch grass sir.

    Thoughts on going from Tacoma to Tundra

    Will also add that the extra room in the cab of the Crewmax Tundra is sooooooo nice. Having the extra storage that is protected from the elements, secured, and climate controlled is a massive plus. Its also wildly comfortable for when having adult passengers in the back. My old 2010 Tundra...

    Thoughts on going from Tacoma to Tundra

    Just FYI, 2018 does indeed have the external trans cooler, 19-21 do not. 2018 is also first year of updated dash / Safety Sense, which is surprisingly well done and easy to turn off (and stays off). For OP, lose the Tacoma and dont look back. Been a Toyota truck guy for almost 30 years now...

    Ford Vs Dodge Half Tons

    Respectfully, and just to show how subjective ride quality can be, could not disagree more. Was in a new Ram 1500 Bighorn from 2021-2024 for my work truck (heavy civil construction with a mix of paved and unpaved offroad conditions), and now over 9K miles on a new 2025 Silverado. The Ram was...

    Best truck for Alaska

    Much will depend on exactly how much off roading you do, but there have definitely been times in my 2nd Gen Tundra and other work trucks where I wish I had a locking rear diff when in off camber climbing / deep snow (especially towing) / variable traction climbing situations. And when in rigs...

    Best truck for Alaska

    Absolutely love the thing. Basically fixed every issue we would want improved on her 4Runner Pro. I’m seriously debating when / if I get rid of my Tundra that I may just make it my rig, and get her something else. Have the Wescott lift kit for it, and will be putting it on 35’s this spring.

    Recommend me some shoes/boots for Italian walking honeymoon

    Rome is amazing, you will be blown away at the sights fully accessible to the public in such a small vicinity. Be sure to do the Vatican as well while you are there. For footwear that would meet what you are looking for, I suggest...

    3 gun set up for North America

    9mm pistol AR-15 in 223 R700 in 7PRC Covers everything handily, and yes I have a 338WM, multiple 300WM, and live in Alaska (including 10 years on Kodiak Island).

    Must see/things to do in Seattle?

    Great list. Would also add to the "Food" list...... Biscuit Bitch for killer breakfast, Top Pots for the best Old Fashioned donuts, and Sushi Kashiba for killer sushi. Will also second the recommendation for Pink Door, great dinner spot.

    What cartridge for Alaska and western big game?

    6.5CM worked fine on these two lil’guys.

    ammo selection for elk/deer

    At <300yds, basically any modern hunting bullet will work if you do your job. Grab a box of a bunch of different offerings, and your gun will show you what it prefers. I am partial to Hornady ELDX bullets, and been filling my freezer with those bullets from various rifles for a few years now...

    What cartridge for Alaska and western big game?

    If you arent wanting more than your 6.5CM, then your real best bet is just to get a 6.5PRC. 6.8 Western is a good round, but if ammo availability / options is a factor, then it lacks greatly. Your existing 6.5CM is an arguably overall better round to the 308 and 7-08 rounds IMHO when all...

    Moose Hunt Cartridge and Bullet

    Agreed. Lifelong Alaskan where the first 3 moose I shot were with .270. My suggestion for rifle would be 7PRC. I do not see the cost / benefits pencil out with the 300PRC vs the 7PRC unless going for large coast brown bear. Full disclosure: Hunted 30 years up here with 300WM before...

    All things .308 Win

    Indeed it is, but had the biggest % drop from box velocity (92.5% vs 94.2% with the ELDX), and the 178 ELDX grouped a bit better. The 178 ELDX also retains velocity / energy better. The ELDX also makes holdovers VERY easy for hunting. With a 200yd zero it’s basically 1 mil for 300yds, 2 mil...

    All things .308 Win

    Thanks for the report. How did those 168 ELDM Superperformance group? I have a couple boxes of those that I am curious about. On my Sig Cross with Banish 46 can it prefers the 178 ELDX Precision Hunters, with the 150 SST Superperformance a close second. Have not tried the 178 ELDM's. Here...

    All around 7mm bullet.

    TLDR - I love the 175g Hornady ELDX in my 7PRC. The 162g ELDX in a 7mag would be a good place to START. To be honest, at the ranges you specify any premium hunting bullet is going to work if you put it in the right spot. My suggestion is to buy boxes of a number of different cartridges. Your...

    Best truck for Alaska

    From a reliability standpoint, it’s impossible to beat any 2nd Gen Tundra 07-21. Crew Max has a cavernous interior that works really well for covered / secured / climate controlled storage as well. Just be aware their 4x4 is not great, their limited slip and traction control does not perform...

    Trade off the 21 Chevy Trail Boss or keep it

    DFM delete kit, tune, cam, and send it. Will be more reliable, more power, and far cheaper than a new rig.

    All things .308 Win

    Those are what my Sig Cross prefers, and seem to always be on sale at my LGS for under $30 a box. Getting MV of a little over 2450fps with its 16” barrel and Banish 46 can, and comps out to a little over 1600fps / 1000ft-lbs at 600 yards. Both conveniently are the general minimums for velocity...

    280 Ackley or 7PRC. Which do I want?

    If you love your 280AI, sounds like a good excuse to lighten up your existing rifle and build it exactly how you want it. And I this is coming from a 7PRC owner. Or there is the valid argument that if wanting factory ammo, go 7PRC since there seems like there are more factory options /...
