The Shoot2hunt Podcast

[Stocky]

I guess I was referring to TMKs only since I don’t buy non-hunting projectiles. I’ve never seen a heavyweight TMK but would love to.

150grain 6.5 TMK would be awesome

The 95 smk is proving to be pretty good as a hunting bullet for me so far. Very soft with a major cavity in the tip. Jackets very thin too. Some smks appear to have virtually no cavity but when i sectioned one i figured they were worth a try in the 22 creed since I have velocity on my side.

I havent stayed current on this thread, but am I missing something or are a few of the early episode with Form, like the drop test podcast are missing from the feed?

On the podcast yesterday, the guys mentioned that they compared the Reaper against several other cans. Among those was an AB Raptor 8. What configuration did they use for the AB Raptor 8? I’m assuming flush mount? Any chance someone can put up a relative number between the AB Raptor 8 with and without 3” reflex against the Scythe, Reaper, Ultra 7, Nomad, etc?

Last Dioni podcast was another good one. Appreciate his perspective/experience.

Listened to the whole silencershop one. Glad to give them business. Seems like they are doing quite a bit for gun owners.

You guys need to get me an OG over on silencershop website. Preferably raw.

I guess I take for granted how many SOT's I have to choose from within 20 miles of my house. Transfer fees are minimal. Is there not many SOT's near you?

There’s a few of them but they are mostly old guys doing it out of their houses. The one I normally use is an hour drive.

Jeez Jake was pissed off at Dioni when he said he wasn’t interested in the backpack

Quoting my own post since no one answered lol. Did some of the earlier Form episodes get taken down?

IIRC I think they took them down to drive more traffic to their YouTube channel

Listened to the reaper and silencer shop episodes in the truck today. I like Cliffs style. Comes off humble and understated.

There was a lot of talk about decibels and I don’t recall anything being brought up about shooters ear vs mil spec left?

Seemed like SS guy didn’t want to talk about scythe failures

I didn’t get that impression.

Aaag sweet, My mistake also. My brain was interpreting what you wrote as TMK and that got me really excited

SMK is highly effective for bang flop, but too soft for my liking. At some point you might find a piece of the copper jacket stuck on the entrance hole. I found lead chunks very far from the path of travel. Again effective but messy

From what i have seen smk's have jacket thickness similar to berger hybrids but seemingly harder material.

Interesting.... harder than bergers.. Hmmmm. I guess I'm definitely sticking with my ELDM vs ELDX struggle

Harder can mean more brittle. In my experience the projectile is more explosive than a berger atleast in the 95 224 variant. With a very short neck length.
