    Arizona 5b put up or shutup.

    Had to go back and read what this thread was about to recall. It was there on the first page that I saw trumps face on Barry woods body for the first time. That is funny.

    Question about felt recoil

    Maybe in a rum you could use over 90 grains of powder. 7 RM is more in the 60s to low 70s.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    Bravo is great, it's just going to be 3#+. A quick look at that heatseeker looks like it may have potential to be lighter pending the grip and butstock selection. That said, it's going to be metal which is less ideal for handling in cold weather and most of the AR pattern buttstocks that would...

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    8 lbs with scope is a stretch. Bravos are great but not light. I don’t think the mdts are any lighter either. I’m pretty sure the field stock is heavier and lss likely is too. Never heard of the heat seeker.

    Bullets continue to slow down after 100 yards and thus their bc continues to change. i can see some possible uses for that function though even if i wouldn’t expect to use it. Competition is good!

    Caldwell Velociradar

    Applied ballistics already did that for tons of bullets and has custom ballistic curves accounting for bc change over a much larger velocity range. Getting a tailored bc from the first 100 yards isn’t that helpful unless mfr data is awful and applied ballistics hasn’t measured it. Ive had a...

    Does it do anything else better than the garmin other than the BC function? That adds near zero value to me.

    270 win ammo at 1990 prices.

    I shot Sig factory ammo in NRL matches this year (with sierra SMK bullets). My sole experience with it has been great. Also, i cant remember the last election cycle where we didn't have an ammo shortage!

    Finally a rifle with a soul I think I need?

    very nice. $4320 starting price for a custom stock might be a deal breaker though. As far as where to find - i was referring to the rifle or even the donor action/bottom metal.

    Finally a rifle with a soul I think I need?

    Recently came across the Sako vixen/A1 line. Iffn I could find a PPC sporter model for the right price I think I'd struggle to pass. The factory wood looks like it might be good enough but might be swayed to have a custom stock built. Of course, i couldn't leave well enough alone and it would...

    Who is funding the fight against hunting? Well you are of course…

    I noticed that on my body wash too. Think it was dove for men or something. Stopped buying it.

    6.8 Western Accuracy Expectations Unrealistic?

    I'm not aware of any situation where trigger pull weight impacts mechanical accuracy of a rifle but certainly less pull weight helps shooters break triggers with less disruption of the POA. I cheat it like everyone else and like a lighter pull weight. In an ideal world we'd become better...

    Maven, Leupold, Trijicon, NF

    A few thoughts: -All scopes from a given brand aren't of same quality, attributes, function across their models so asking simply for a brand isn't that useful. -Big objective lenses are nice. Beyond light gathering, they generally result in better image quality and eye position forgiveness ("big...

    How much does bullet design really affect accuracy?

    There's high BC that is less impacted by environmentals, there's BC variance bullet to bullet that impacts results at distance, and there's just general bullet to bullet consistency that impacts how well they fly impacting dispersion the further you go out. Cheap soft points are probably...

    Whats cheaper to shoot

    A lot is a debatable measure but a lot more than the avg hunter. I sure wouldn't be shooting a lot or having as much fun doing it if I had to dump powder and stuff a projectile down the barrel for every shot!

    Whats cheaper to shoot

    Thread about what's cheapest to shoot - prefers $50 ammo to $18 ammo because it doesn't take a few days to arrive. Answer - It's 2.5x cheaper to know that at some point 3+ days in the future you will want ammunition for your rifle so you buy it slightly before you actually need it for a fraction...

    Bullet holes in paper

    It’s normal. Bullets always do that far as I can remember. Barnes lrx - all copper Hornady ELDm- jacketed plastic tip Berger “hollow point”

    Bullet holes in paper

    i don’t think so. My polymer tipped lead bullets and mono copper bullets do it as well.

    12 states join Utah

    If I recall correctly, @jimh406 lives in AK? And if I’m following correctly, AK has shown the downside of lands being federal vs state for us hunters. I’m still on team Randy for us lower 48ers but the feds sure eff non-subsistence users on AK public lands.
