Nice deer. Wife and I lived in Biloxi three different times, and was there in 2005 for Katrina. I was looking for a deer lease to join before Katrina hit, as we were there for a fixed 48 month tour. Due to my son’s medical needs at the time, we had to leave after Katrina hit. Had a friend that...

I grew up in Arkansas and hunted it exclusively until I joined the AF. Was stationed back there as a fluke in 2005-2011, before we got stationed in AK. I retired in AK for the hunting really, but the last 3 years or so, our caribou herd we hunted is now closed for up to 20 years they are saying...

I would rebarrel the AI and probably got for a 1:8 or 1:8.5 twist barrel for it, if that’s me. I have tried the 7mm PRC, and I was not impressed. With the ammo we shot from it, the velocities were 150-200 fps slower than what Hornady said. Some of that I chalk up to the 22” barrel on the PRC...

Prayers for him and his family.

Lots of good ideas here. I am going to bed my first action in the next few days. I’m actually doing two rifles. One I don’t think will be a problem, but the Savage 11 has noting in front of the recoil lug. I saw an old YouTube video of someone bedding a Savage stock like mine, and they put...

Blue collar reloading is awesome! I started reloading in 2019 and was only buying locally until the Vid hit. Being in AK, I only order brass and bullets online, but I have had great luck with a few online retailers that will ship here. Of all the ones I used to shop at, Blue Collar is at the top...

Honestly I couldn’t tell you. When I was retiring, the unit over them, was having several buildings torn down at all of the sites.

I was Air Force and used to write some of the contracts for the AF to run the Long Range Radar Sites before I retired in 2018. I know quite a bit about Cape Lisburn. I still live in AK, and a guy at a local gun store just last week told me and another gentleman that they sale more 6.5 Grendel...

Probably a Savage 99 .308 Win. I always wanted one after seeing my uncle’s, so I found one online at Gunbroker many moons ago. Got the gun in and the bolt would not close all the way. I sold it and recouped my money. I now have a Savage 99 in .243 (same caliber as my uncle’s) and I do not like...

Not the new ones. They are both marked with 1:8 on the barrel. Tikka says 8” and I’m pretty sure the RemArms one say 1:8.

I have my dad’s .243 Win in a Rem 742 and then bought a Savage 99 about 5 years ago in .243. I’m not a fan of the Savage as it’s not like I remembered my uncle’s growing up. When I found out Remington and Tikka both have 1:8 twist .243’2 I knew I wanted one. A local store had a .243 Tikka T3x...

I’ve had several different AR’s over the past five years and different barrels. If you just want to plink and are ok with 2 MOA, get a BCA. I have one and I can get a consistent 1.5 MOA out of it my reloads and 55 gr FMJ’s. I just bought a BA barrel in .300 blkout and ran a bore scope down it...

I can’t confirm, but I’ve heard BCA makes the AR Stoner battles for Midway.

Did you measure the shoulder of the brass after you resized it? I think your shoulder may not be bumped back enough.

Well I switched from RL26 to RL23 and kept everything. Else the same and got good results.
