7MM-08, max range for deer/elk?
I have a Tikka T3x Lite rifles. I prefer my Remington Model Seven in 7-08 over my Tikkas. I shoot 140 grain Accubonds. That’s what I’ll be toting on my next elk hunt. -

New scope for my 22-250?
SWFA 10x, only because the 6x aren’t available yet. These will set you back about $350. If you’d rather have a variable scope, then the SWFA 3-9x42 is hard to beat for $600. -

To Flute or not to Flute?
Personally, I don’t like the looks of a fluted barrel, so I would never have it done. My lightweight rifles are my Remington Model Sevens. I’m really fighting the urge to buy the Howa Carbon Stalker in 6 ARC or 6.5 Grendel. That rifle is supposed to be sub 5 lbs bare rifle. 🤯 -

Gobble gobble Spring Turkey 2025
I’ve never killed anything called a tom, but have killed several gobblers. I’ve killed a limit(5 that season) of double bearded gobblers and one year killed a gobbler with double spurs on each leg.

Lets unite!
The time change doesn’t bother me at all. If you had to pick one, it would obviously be the regular time and not daylight savings time. Getting dark earlier in the winter is awesome.- N2TRKYS

Losses at the Forest Service
How did they get all those folks to work all those years for terrible pay and only find out at the end of their careers that there wasn’t any retirement? Surely, they noticed it wasn’t being taken out of their checks.- N2TRKYS

Bullet seating coal differences
Base to ogive is inconsistent, as well. None of it matters. I kept reading about base to ogive measuring was the only way to do it. Well, I learned that that wasn’t true. I don’t even worry about the ogive measurement anymore. I measure COAL and rock on. Neither of those two types of...- N2TRKYS

Choke questions
There are other forums like gobbler nation and old gobbler that has lots of gun/choke/shell combo patterns with pics of their patterns. Odds are somebody is shooting what you are wanting to shoot. Personally, I shoot an Indian Creek .555 choke in my Rem 870 Youth 20ga. I get a consistent 300... -

What are you currently reloading?

Arrow Building Software vs Chat GPT
I haven’t had any issues getting good info from the internet, personally. Search engines haven’t jammed me up as much as it apparently does some folks. 🤷♂️ -

6mm CM or 6mm PRC
Congrats to him. Would you go with the 6 PRC, if you had to do it over again?
