    Where is all the ammo?

    I compare them going through the headache of selling individual components to the reloading market to picking fly sh*t out of pepper. It makes a whole lot more sense for the components to go to full-time, volume ammo manufacturing, than it does to the reloading market, even though the retail...

    .223/5.56 confusion

    The chamber actually differs on the 5.56, which gives it a little more leeway as far as tolerances go. A tighter, commercial .223 chamber will spike pressures on a 5.56 cartridge. That's why the .223 Wylde was developed. Enough slack in tolerances to not drive pressures up, dangerously, but...

    .223/5.56 confusion

    Some varmint ARs were chambered in .223 for tighter tolerances. What AR do you have, OP?

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    You make a good point, @Addicting but everything I had seen in my research is stating that the 3.5 isn't as economic as stated, especially if you're into the turbo a lot. But like was stated above, you can read an article about anything (guns, trucks, boats, etc) that can solidify whatever...

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    That's where I was at, too. My brother has an EB, and I was really settled on it, until I asked my friend who is a car nut. He said the 5.0 would be great for me because of lower lifetime maintenance costs, it's a known platform (althought the 3.5 is very established as well) and it'll pull my...

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    OOF. Ok, that gives me something else to chew on. Thanks.

    I THINK I am going to take the leap.....

    What year is your v8, @Addicting ? I'm in the same boat as OP, but looking at 2015-2017 5.0L V8 (but with a SuperCrew cab.) The specs look great, and come recommended by Ford Techs*, compared to the EBs that have problems with cam phasers, and expensive turbos that can go out. *sampling of...

    As the daylight shortens...

    C’mon, man! Everyone knows that 6.5 is so powerful that it will vaporize anything it’s shot at. Combined with the 10mm pistol case, you’re talking the ballistics of a rail gun. Now come to think of it, you could probably just neck the 10mm down to fit whatever polymer tip you prefer from your...

    As the daylight shortens...

    10mm necked down to 6.5mm. But bring snowshoes wherever you plan on going.

    As the daylight shortens...

    ...and we’re collectively mourning the passing of another hunting season, before you’re drawn into another caliber, bullet, or platform discussion; just remember or just suggest a 300RUM like mtmuley. Can’t go wrong with that.

    savage 110 ultralite

    Rats. Although that is a smoking deal for the LRH model. I’ve had to talk myself off the ledge of buying one since I got the email Friday. I’d be into it for about $400 altogether. I had one in 7mm the year they came out. It was REALLY accurate with the 168gr Berger HSM load. I have to let my...

    savage 110 ultralite

    I saw the ad for 50% off the Long Range Hunter, but didn't see any listings for the Lightweight Hunter. It would be worth looking at, since I have Cabelas points to burn. But it would also be redundant, since I just picked up one of the Camo 6.5 Ultralites, too!

    Hogue Stocks

    This is exactly my experience, too. The recoil lug is often misaligned/canted and will cause the action and barrel to be pushed to one side.

    Opinions on 10mm in Grizzly country?

    I have a Glock 20 that I feel comfortable with, and I know I'd get more effective rounds on target with that than I would with a .357 or .44, 454, etc. Others may be better with revolvers than I am, so more power to them. But lest we forget... -only need a .22lr......to shoot your friend in...

    Ruger American

    It might just be a short chamber, driving pressure up to cause it to stick, but most likely it's just a rough chamber that needs to be polished. She should get in touch with Ruger and have them take care of it. Their customer service has a great reputation.

    Federal Trophy Bonded Tips

    I'd probably run the 165s and not feel undergunned in any situation. I really like the improved version of this technology with the Terminal Ascent, as the BCs have been boosted.

    Nebraska Muzzleloader

    Congrats on the bittersweet hunt. More sweet, than anything, though. I'm as surprised as you that it didn't pole-axe him right then and there. Kudos for doing the right thing, both leaving him, and getting up early to find him.
