    Need an update on scent technology and bugling season

    I'm not trying to knock anyone's opinions, but I don't know any serious hunters that believe in or use any scent blocker products. No matter what you are wearing or spraying, you are still producing human scent. You can't put yourself in a hermetically sealed bubble. If elk were wearing...

    Post brass cleaning?

    I'm always surprised at the lengths people go to dry brass. Maybe I'm lazy, but I just plan ahead so I don't need to load my brass the day I tumble it. Here's what works well for me. After wet tumbling, brass and pins go into rotary separator. A few turns and the pins are out of the...

    Suppressor wrap

    I've used the Armageddon Gear and the Silencerco branded ones that I believe are readied Cole Tac and I like the velcro Cole Tac better than the AG.

    Its finally complete...my ultimate 30 Cal. Hunting Rifle

    That's awesome. Looks thoroughly well thought out and high quality. Looks like you have some nice homemade benches and shelves? What is the top/work surface on those?

    Should I go 20 practical?

    Thanks. I'm actually using Benchmark in my .20 Practical. 20" AR, getting 3600 with 40 grain V-max. Have a .204 Ruger bolt action with i think a 22" barrel using 40 grain Nosler BTs and H4895 and I think I'm at 3650 if I remember right.

    That's impressive. Barrel length?

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    My horrible experience was more of a customer service nature. Bought a Mossberg 935 Turkey semi-auto 12ga for predators and turkeys. Bought online. Showed up at my local kitchen table FFL. Looked fine in two halves in the box. Did the transfer. Got home and put it together and mounted it...

    Should I go 20 practical?

    That's screaming. What weight bullet and what barrel length? I'm getting about 3600 out of a 20" barrel with 40 grain Vmax. I've loaded some 32 grain bullets but haven't chronographed them yet. Actually no...those 32 grain loads are for my .204 Ruger. Only loaded 40 grain for .20P.

    Should I go 20 practical?

    I just loaded some last night. It's not a lot different than .223, but it's just different enough to make it fun.

    How is any sporterized rifle with a 2 piece scope base accurate?

    Sorry I'm not making myself clear. Would be easier if we in person I could use my hands to describe what I'm asking. Okay, are you saying that when you crank on the rear windage screws, the front ring also turns in the dovetail base? In other words, the front scope ring freely turns right and...

    How is any sporterized rifle with a 2 piece scope base accurate?

    This is the type I've seen advertised, a dovetail front base where the ring is then "turned" into position to engage the dovetail with a lapping bar, etc. Then the rear ring sits on that base trapped between the windage screws on the base. So if you crank the front ring into the base until...

    How is any sporterized rifle with a 2 piece scope base accurate?

    I got into hunting and shooting later in life. So while I have misurps that are over a 125 years old, my oldest hunting rifle is less than 10 years old. I've got some with a one piece pic rail and rings clamped onto that, but most are Talley Lightweight one piece mounts. ARs I always use...

    Coyote rifle build suggestions

    I'm no expert and I haven't killed a million coyotes, but I started with a bolt action and found that 90% of the shots I had on coyotes were within 100 yards as most of my shot opportunities have been while calling. Went from a bolt action with a 3.5-10x scope to an AR in 6.5 Grendel with a...

    Anyone hand loading subsonic Hornady 255gr Sub-X’s in their 7.62x39’s yet?

    I didn't even know these existed until I saw this thread today, but it looks like these are oversized diameter specifically for the 7.62x39 based on what I'm seeing here: If anyone has used these for subsonic 300blk loads, I'd like to know.
