Ok, so several hundred? I live among giants!
You are quite humble. I'd be on a loudspeaker if I had that accomplishment! Bravo!Yes Sir.

I have no problem with the Hammer bullet despite its low BC; the people who tell me I need to use/shoot Hammer bullets are what I have a problem with. No one tells me which bullets I choose to shoot. As previously noted, I have Hammer bullets along with other monos. If I hate Hammer bullets, why the heck would I even bother buying it.

Yet that isn't what I said was it?
Many of us here have been around a decade or longer and grilled each other up and down. We know each others strengths and weaknesses, who has or lacks character etc.
I can tell you this, about eight or ten years ago Beans who I just new through our posting here put a rifle up for sale because a job change was going to put him out of the LR game for a long time.
I was between surgeries and short on cash and he sold me the rifle for less than he had in it in parts simply because were were both devotees of the 7mm STW and had shared a whole lot of tips and information back and forth over the years.
I never had to doubt for a second it's performance because I knew I could take the man at his word.
I also knew that if he wanted to be patient he could soak someone for about 4 grand easily which was still less than he'd spent on the rifle but instead he just sent it to a good home for what I could afford.
He has a long and very established track record here and doesn't deserve those types of slights from somone who has no clue who he is.
This site is a true gem on the internet and there's more combined and condensed knowlege and esperience about Long Range Hunting, Shooting, Reloading, components, glass and all that goes into the game here free for anyone to access. We're also largely self policing.
As I said, you're more than welcome here, but to be a bit clearer, you haven't been here near long enough to know the people who's character you would challenge.
Join in, ask questions, share what you know but take a few years to get to know the characters here or ask other old timers if you have a question about someone who seems to be less than they claim or more than they could be and those who are straight shooters vs those who are here to take advantage of newbies to the sport we love and/or to the site.
This is a place you can easily make lifelong friends that can open doors for you like you wouldn't imagine. Just for helping a few others out I've been invited to join them on hunts I could never manage otherwise and have shared some experiences with them that changed my life forever in very positive ways.
Relax, settle in, share what you know and see what you can learn. If you do, ten or fifteen years from now you'll have had the same kind of experiences if you're just honest and show others the same kind of basic respect you'd like to be afforded.
I do not think I have any; I know I have 160g partitions. It's all good, Brother.
I am just going to turn the bullets around instead.
Easy brother - all I did was point out a bias that stevie wonder could see. We all have them, we all have to navigate them. Pointing out a bias isn't an attack on somebody's character. If I was best friends with a bullet manufacturer you can believe I would also have a bias.

That is a great idea!
Going at Bean about the rifle and insinuating he is bought off...Dude. That deserves an apology. We were all giddy and happy about that regardless what bullet we shoot! It was also a moment of camaraderie sparked by irony and good hearted fun! It made me love this place even more.

Yep I have been very fortunate over the last few years that I've got good friends and been able to afford some hunts several time a year. Just last year in one week. I was able to take over 40 hogs, a pile of audad , sika and some rams. Got lucky and been good with a ranch that needed some culling. Plus in Michigan we get unlimited tags for doe on private land. Happen to know a bunch of farmers. No big trophy bucks but tons of doe. So I feel I have a very good idea what works for me.Ok, so several hundred? I live among giants!
Yes Sir.
Picture below is just part of the 5 day hunt I was on last year. Lots didn't make it into the picture.

Never implied he was bought off - just that they were close friends. I thought it was super cool when I read that post about him receiving the rifle, I am not a 6.5 CM fan, so I got the humor. Then he comes rolling in defending hammer's honor like his life depended on it and I pointed out a bias…I am not going to apologize for that. Sorry not sorry.
