I know, dangerous ammo question
For any scenario mentioned above a quality controlled expansion hollowpoint bullet or monometal will do nicely. Personality I'd find whatever heavy for caliber round that your rifle likes and use it. Learn the minimum expansion velocity (1600fps, 1800fps, or more likely for these types of... -

Can the 280AI Really Be this good! What is your experience with it?
Had a Howa 270 sitting unused in the safe that is ready for a 280ai carbon barrel, Mc Killian Game Warden stock, and a new trigger. Now if I could just get the magic combo of Time + Money at the same moment to do it. If I was a thinking man I'd go ahead and get the suppressor enroute via al... -

In Need Of A 20 Gauge Slug Gun...
Old Mossberg 500 pump gun Fully rifled barrel In this case I had removed the scope/mounts and just had fiber optic front and skinner peep rear Remington copper solid slugs Longest one shot kill was 194 yards. From a rest or bench I could get around 4.5"-6" groups at 200 yards. Which is plenty... -

Straight walled cartridges
Correct. And youre also correct in that it will require a buttstock pad to get you the correct cheekweld for scope usage. Or alternatively the CVA scout mentioned above would do nicely as well. -

To many pesky deer
I fondly recall the days of up to 8 doe tags PER PERSON and PER COUNTY for some of the ag counties in central Indiana. Got a metric shit ton of farm land access since I was willing to pass bucks and just fill doe tags. Although a good number of the does were basically culled and not hunted. Made...- pilsner

Broken ribs
K or Kinesiology Tape of the various brand names like Leuko Tape are awesome! Hot spot on your heel? Tape it. Shit will hold for a week and might pull the scab off when you remove the tape if you don't soak it first.- pilsner

Lets talk portable backpack gear SOLAR charging.
Already have a 26800mah Anker and a GoalZero Nomad 20 solar panel that works well for one person, two max depending on how tech heavy we go in.

Sleeping bag/ quilt temp rating for September Elk.
Any quality treated down quilt over 800 fill will do nicely. I've been all over the country in all kinds of conditions in my 20° down quilt of UQC and an insulated sleeping pad. Been down to sub-0° temps with my puffy and beanie on and was comfy.- pilsner

Straight walled cartridges
Indiana resident. We went through a less-dumb version of this a few years back. Take the cheap and easy way out and get an H&R single shot in 350 Legend. Shelves are over run with ammo most places I've been (if only they could make and stock other calibers too). Rifles are dirt cheap. Give it a... -

Hunting gear that punches BELOW its price point
I CLEANED up with that dumb helicopter lure. Ended up running out of them because they got so chewed up by fish. Lol. Somewhere I've got a pic of a 16" rainbow I caught on a flying lure using a Ron Popeel Pocket Fisherman at our neighborhood pond. Circa 2014 using stuff bought only at a garage...- pilsner

Do you own a scout rifle? Is it worth getting one?
7mm-08 was also "allowed" for folks in locales that banned military calibers. Also a 376 Styer loading... For science or something. -

Am I the only one??
I ,for one, spent WAAAYYY too much time, money, and effort trading guns to get bad "gun trading karma" in an effort to save a few bucks. Having good gun karma has lead to some very good deals and very cool finds (only.some of which I've been smart enough to capitalize on).
