    Non Lead Rifle Ammo Experience Question- fragments in meat?

    My particular instance was from a deer that was commercially processed. I do all of my own now. I likely would have found it had I processed it myself. But the fact remains that it was there.

    Non Lead Rifle Ammo Experience Question- fragments in meat?

    I've only had pass throughs with the TTSX, so no problems there. I've had my wife find a bullet jacket when she was cooking some venison before. I will still continue to use cup and core bullets but it's easy to see why someone would move to all copper.

    27 Nosler , it's official!

    It's still America. You can have whatever you'd like if you can write the check.

    27 Nosler , it's official!

    It looks like Berger is only calling for a 1:9" twist rate for their 170 EOL Elite hunters. If they're correct in recommending that twist rate, 1:8.5" should be adequate. We'll have to see when people start fielding them.

    27 Nosler , it's official!

    https://www.tactical-life.com/gear/ammo/277-sig-fury-hybrid-case-design/ I doubt anyone here will buy one but I thought it would be interesting to share and hear opinions.

    Why all the 6.5 CM hate?

    They could neck up the 22 TCM(which is based on a .223 Remington shortened to fit a handgun magazine) to .264 diameter. It should push a 143 grain ELD-X close to 1000 fps.

    Shanks

    Looking forward to trying some shank recipes. I've got deer and elk shanks piled up in the freezer waiting for me to figure out a good way too cook them.

    Why all the 6.5 CM hate?

    The .280 AI is a neat chambering. While it does give a performance gain it does not mean the .280 Remington is inferior within practical hunting distances.

    Best caliber for short to medium range woods hunting?

    If you like the rifle you have but want a bump in power another option would be to have your .30-30 Ackley Improved. You can potentially gain a couple hundred feet per second depending on the bullet, powder, etc. I'm not a huge fan of improved chamberings because while they do give you a...

    Let's stir the pot here

    There has been division among men since Cain and Abel. And there will be no unity until Jesus returns. We do not need another national tragedy, though such things are inevitable. What matters is how we treat those around us but almost more importantly how we treat those that we do not agree...

    Truck Saw Recommendation?

    Stihl's MSA series of saws are great. The AK battery saws like the 120 and 140 will max out at a 12" bar. In the AP battery lineup the 160 maxes out at 12", the 200 at 14" and the 220 at 16". So keep in mind that if you go the battery saw route you'll have to give up some bar length. The...

    Best caliber for short to medium range woods hunting?

    An 18" .308 Winchester would be a very handy rifle in the woods.

    Why all the 6.5 CM hate?

    It's another tool in the tool box. It doesn't do anything that other cartridges can't do. I own one and I don't have any reserves about using it other than it's not my favorite rifle.

    Best caliber for short to medium range woods hunting?

    I've had good success with 150 Gr. Winchester Power Max Bonded in .30-30. I wouldn't have any reservations about the Leverevolution's though. If you had hit it with a higher velocity round in the same exact spot it should generate more internal damage but it may not necessarily have made a blood...

    Climate Change

    I will agree that it is good to listen to others and find that I will generally learn something from every person I meet. I will also add that there are dangers in being so open minded as to allow blatantly immoral or misleading information to be spread. It wasn't that long ago that philosophy...

    Climate Change

    Therein lies the rub. It can be difficult to find sources that do not start out with a clear bias for either side of the issue or that do not speak in generalities without data to support whatever claims are made. Climate.gov does a decent job it seems to provide articles backed with good...

    Climate Change

    I said exactly what I said. Nothing more and nothing less. But I do look at what material I come across on the matter and attempt to be as objective as possible. Which does include taking the source into consideration. While I try to be content with my life I don't live in contentment with the...

    K Bar

    I have a Ka-Bar BK16 drop point knife that I've quartered several whitetail with. It holds an edge well and is just the right size to me for an all around kind of knife.

    Climate Change

    I think that if I want to develop my own understanding on a subject I'll try to find a source that has degrees and a career in that field of study.

    Climate Change

    He lectures on truth then goes to say that he's given up on the fundamental meaning of the word "Truth". Think about that. Also I'd be wary of an astrophysicist or perhaps a "science guy" with a Bachelor of Science speaking about climatology.
