    243 Barrel life question

    If you don't run it at max speed and pressure life will be better to some extent. Shooting long strings like in fclass will eat a barrel alive. Even 308s lose their competitive edge substantially quicker in fclass. Granted accuracy standards are now very demanding in that arena. That being said...

    .204 Ruger: The battle between velocity and wind drift

    I have played around quite a bit with the light 26gr bullets, 32gr vmax, 40gr vmax, 40gr nosler. After loading both 32gr and 40gr bullets for a prairie dog blasting trip I must say I prefer the 40s. I used Reloader 10x for both bullet weights. I didn't do a max load with the 40gr bullets but I...

    Kid dies after not able to get inhaler from the school's office.

    My brother has severe asthma and all throughout his elementary and high school years my parents always made him keep an inhaler in his backpack. There is no way in hell I would let school admins hold onto my potentially lifesaving albuterol, insulin, epi, etc.

    Have you second guessed your career?

    All I know is that it is never too late to change careers. Take my field for instance, I am a medical student, while I am a bit older than the average age, there are some in there late 30s and 40s. A few of these people were in careers completely unrelated to medicine. They decided for a change...

    Need advice for new/used economy car. *Update

    I really liked the Cruze Eco but I haven't been able to find one in the area was used and in my price range. I never really have any passengers besides my girlfriend anyway and I think the Sonic looks a little sportier than the Cruze. I did actually drive an Aveo back in 2004 or so, it was the...

    Need advice for new/used economy car. *Update

    Just a little update. After test driving a bunch of vehicles I found a Used 2012 Chevy Sonic LTZ hatch with 11,800 miles. So it still has the bumper to bumper and powertrain warranties for a while yet. It has every option including heated pleather seats, sun roof, upgraded sound system. It is a...

    Hunting round for deer in 308

    I just took a buck with a 155gr Amax. It was a weird angle but I grazed the heart/lung, and liquefied the other lung. The exit hole was small which was weird because the ribs on the exit side were just turned into oblivion. Velocity was around 2900 or so and distance was 30 yards. There was...

    Advanced Marksmanship The dangers of leaving your steel at the range.

    Pfffft. That little square he traced out is what I used for 2 miles with my 270 huntin rifle and the Leupold 3-9x it is wearing. Never forget that the Remington Core-Lokt is the deadliest mushroom in the woods.
