This is spot on. Once paired all your data is stored on your phone. You identify bullet weight and can add notes to each string of shots. Pricey but worth every penny.

Sorry those were all 150 gr SGK bullets. And I went 16” because I hardly shoot anything that is not suppressed anymore.

Here is some info on my hand loads shooting the 16” barrel suppressed. Varget slowest at 2550ish TAC about 30 FPS faster CFE wins for speed at 2700ish. All of those were inside the book max loads. All shoot decent at something just over an inch at 100 yards.

Well said Bang.

Go listen the podcast by the folks at Hornady. They never claim less recoil than 7 RM. In fact they say done as a custom a 7RM can achieve everything the PRC can. They do claim 32% less recoil than the 28 Nosler.

Agree with Ben. Definitely update to elite if you are going to shoot longer. I have looked down them several times and the glass is very good. I saw the plus at Dallas Safari Club this past weekend and had the Alexa reps walk me through it. Brian Litz the brains behind AB for sometime has Ben...

This is a good thread. I am in the market as well and will be going with Leica. For my use the best glass with ranging and ballistic solutions is Leica. Got to find the game before anything else matters and I don’t lug along spotters so glass quality in my bino’s is the top consideration...

I have 7 LRM brass for sale. Here is the breakdown. 28 unfired 153 fired 69 prepped All fired brass has been fired about 3 times and all has been annealed. Will sell the whole lot (250) pieces for $175 plus shipping. Hornady match 7LRM reloading dies are in perfect condition and are $80...

I read up on this a bunch when I took up bow hunting again. Lots of options and opinions. Coleman lantern that runs on white gas with foil covering the back half was recommended by quite a few. So that is what sits in my truck, fortunately for me but unfortunately for this thread I have not...

So I have have forever carried just 110 Buck folding hunter. Watched this the other and am going to give what this guy recommends a try, Buck 113 Ranger. You can get it in 420 or s30v steel. I also like the cross draw holster he uses which leaves the strong side for pistol carry. I figure a...

All of my Peterson brass has less internal volume and produces higher pressures at lower charge weights compared to most others. I always start my Peterson brass extra low and I concur with others you were likely very hot at 42 gr.

Yup a couple of times and everything worked out great.

It’s a burner for sure but if he is using as he stated and not just shooting steel that is one big pile of coyotes. I only hunt with mine.

I did just what you are doing and went with a 22 Creed. I went 22” 1-8 twist suppressed and wanted speed so I could zero at 300 and ended up with 1/2 mil at 400 and 1 mil at 500. I wanted to be able to quickly take shots out to 500. Beyond I will use ballistic solver for dope. There are very...

So I am shooting the 75’s also out of a 22” suppressed barrel. I too went to the Peterson data to guide my development. It’s an interesting read because they also looked at internet loads and determined that many floating around were wildly over pressure. It was interesting because using...
