Should I go magnum?

I have an Aero Solus action and I have have both standard and magnum bolts heads. I currently shoot 308 6 and 6.5 creed.

I have access to a range to 1700 yards.

Give the fact that a lot of the reloader powders are unobtainable almost and the limited ability to load long heavy bc bullets (mag feed preferred)

Should I venture into a 7 Saum or 6.5 prc in a short action

Or

Sell the bolt face and just get a long action?

Uses hunting and long range

Favorite Podcast

What’s everyone’s favorite podcast? I’m hoping to add 2-3 to my rotation. Currently I listen to Joe Rogan (mostly) and Shawn Ryan Show.

Joe Rogan has such an array of people on and his conversational skills are why I listen to him the most. Really looking to find something similar to that, although I always skip all the fight companion episodes.

Shawn Ryan has some interesting guests as well but it’s mostly military stuff that gets repetitive.

Fenix ammo- a MI based, Based company

1706967614809.jpegThese guys have been mentioned here before . Their shop and factory are local to me - inside 2 hours .
Great folks to do business with . They no longer sell to police departments, individual officers or government agencies they used to at a substantial discount and then found out the hard way those hero’s hated them. Were raided - ticketed and ordered to shut down several times during WhuFlu . Which is funny cause I’ve read here that police didn’t enforce those mandates. They never shut down and told the state and its agents to fuck off .
They post some funny and some informative stuff and occasionally a hilarious meme or two .
Have no connection to them as a company other than I like giving my money to local family/veteran owned businesses that share my values .

Guess not only have they not heard of the constitution but don’t know about auditors with cameras exposing their tyranny.

Still had to pay $500 to the kings men with no crime committed alleged or charges filed . WTF

Suppressor causing thin barrel to droop for first round - which replacement barrel?

Hey all - I'm running an AAC SPR M4 (which weighs 18 oz) on an 18" PSA .223 Wylde upper. I have no illusions about getting under 2MOA out of a PSA factory gas gun, but 2 or even 3 MOA is all I need out of this gun, which is for coyote at 150, maybe 200 yards, or less. I had a heck of a time getting it zeroed when I first put it together but finally got it to group well enough and took it hunting.

Since then, I have had two inexplicable misses and more troubles when zeroing a new scope. I have finally only today discovered (after years of frustrations) that the cold-bore shot is hitting 10+ MOA low. I know it's hard to believe that I didn't discover this until now, but when I was zeroing it, once I was able to get a decent 5-round group I was no longer concerned with where the first round may have hit, so I didn't realize there was an issue. Of course in hunting the first round is often the only round!

I talked to a smith about it today who said the problem was likely the skinny factory barrel, which was probably drooping under the weight of the can until it was heated up by the first round, then maintaining POI decently for subsequent shots. He recommended replacing the barrel with something thicker and mentioned Aero; they've got two rifle-length 18" .223 Wylde barrels, one fluted and one not - any way of knowing if they will be strong enough to clear up this first-shot-low issue? I like fluted for weight but not if it's going to contribute to this problem in any way. I wish I could give some specs on the current barrel but the item's page is showing 404 when I look at it - I could always reach out to PSA for the specs to be sure.

Many thanks, all - as mad as I am that many hunting trips have been compromised by a rifle that I was sure was properly zeroed, it is a massive relief to finally have an explanation! I'll rezero and hunt without the can for the rest of this season and hopefully have everything straight before next year.

Thank you for the advice!

Tonneau covers that allow tool chest access.

Recently got a new truck, and would like a Tonneau cover for it. It needs to alllw access to a chest style tool box. UWS makes a notched chest that accomidates most folding styles,so I'm toing with that for the box.
What brands make a good product? I'd like it to offer full rain protection, and something with durable handles/latches.

Seeing Gator, Bakflip and Tonno mentioned a good deal.

Accessories FS: Manners T6A SA R700 Mini Chasis Price Drop

I bought this back in 2017 and shot 2 PRS club matches that year and have only taken this sporadically to the range since. Sponge camo job I did myself. Includes Area419 arca rail, barricade stop, and appropriate spacer. Ran it flawlessly with my TL3 short action. I’m using a full chasis setup now and can’t justify keeping it.
