    Scammer Alert- Muddyboots

    Member muddyboots replied to my thread wanting to buy a Labradar chronograph. Screenshots of our conversation: Despite them saying that they were the first owner, I found the same pictures, which they had, evidently, ripped off another forum, on a thread for a transaction that happened months...

    .357 Mag Loading

    Those are both listed in Barnes' XPB load data I believe. Still trying to decide if I hold out for finding some of those or just pick up a pack of cutting edge... they are pretty spendy for just a little experiment

    PM me if you've got one you want to turn into cash! Thanks in advance.

    .357 Mag Loading

    Exactly what I was thinking- H110 is number one on my hit list for propellant. Rifle I'm loading for is a 16 inch '94 AE Trapper, which is in strong contention for the firearm I'm most glad I purchased before all this stupidity. Just added the sling studs and 2-7 Leupold- should be a cool little...

    .357 Mag Loading

    Anyone load for a .357 magnum rifle? Got my primers, brass and dies, basically looking at which powder and bullets to use. Looking to load copper monos a la Barnes XPB, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Alternatives include Lehigh 140 grain Xtreme Penetrator or the Cutting Edge 140...

    Help with 7mm-08 Hammer load…

    Those results are certainly acceptable for a hunting setup, but two things that would help you a lot: 1. Try loading with Varget. For the 120 HH in 7mm-08, I have yet to find a way to load that combo such that it will group above MOA. Probably impossible to find if you don't have it already...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    D I definitely wouldn't say it's hunters specifically, just a societal problem at large I try to keep as much space from when possible. The whole "20 year olds with lower test levels than 50 year olds two generations ago" pretty sketch IMO

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    That's why I used the phrase "they say it's nontoxic" versus stating definitively that it has no downside. In any case, it's 100% certain that most plastics are endocrine disruptors to at least some degree, whereas wax is pretty inert. I'd love to see a lab analysis, but until then, I'm going...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    All very valid points! I actually did a few double wrapped with the wax paper for added durability, so we'll see how there is any difference. Just interesting trying new stuff out! Did some research into the formula of the wax they use, and apparently since it's intended to be used for baking...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    May want to give this guy a read. Basically, plastic wrap is produced with a chemical called DEHA that the FDA says "is totally safe" but has been linked to cancers and endocrine disruption. I may be overly cautious, but I'm all about eliminating plastics in my kitchen whenever possible. Also...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    Yep, tape adhered fine. Unless I'm missing something, it seems to do the exact same thing as plastic but cheaper and without the chemicals

    Overthinking Rifle Scope Options

    Yeah I love Vortex's binos and spotters, but had zeros walk on two of their riflescopes. I have one of their Japanese-made Razors that has been great for the last 3 seasons.

    Overthinking Rifle Scope Options

    Only thing I personally use anything more than 3-9 for is my dedicated LR rig- if I'm shooting 300 and in, the big magnification optics are just paying more to add unnecessary weight and bulk to my rifle. You'll hear this a lot, but Vortex is an importer of mostly foreign optics, and their...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    Anyone ever use wax paper to wrap their game? Certainly as airtight as butcher paper or probably plastic, super cheap, biodegradable, food grade, etc... gave it a try on a few packs last week as an op test, and it appeared to seal up great.

    Muzzleloader Pig

    Which make is it? Barnes are the ultimate muzzleloading projectiles, IMO. Scary accurate and consistently excellent terminal performance. ML ballistics with them probably about perfect for hog hunting.

    WTB 6.5 PRC Brass

    Bump, still looking. Will even buy 10 or 20 extra pieces if anyone has them laying around.

    Surprise VA bull

    Super unlikely, IMO. One of my buddies from college is a warden who has done some work in the area and says the local cattle ranchers see elk as competition and a threat to their livelihood, and kill them in or out of season whenever they see them. I hope those reports are exaggerated, but there...

    Surprise VA bull

    Was pretty depressing to see the initiative to get elk specific tags created die last year. Omega controlling the bay, dog hunters getting free run of anyone's private property they want to walk across as long as they claim they're "looking for dogs..." and the cattle industry preventing that...

    Hunters with ATVs cause thousands of dollars of damage to alpine tundra trail

    Think you're spot on here. We actually ran into the warden on our way out who, coincidentally, went to college right down the road from me at the same time- super nice and helpful guy. Anyway, he said manpower shortages keep them from doing anywhere near as much enforcement as they wish they...
