Thank you very much!

Yeah been waiting for almost 5 years for this stuff. Really want to try RL-26 to compare, but Alliant powders are unobtainium right now.

175gr ELD-X and H-1000 for 7mm Rem Mag. looking for starting load and max load data. Huge discrepancy between my manuals in max loads. Hornady’s 8th edition says max load of 60.4gr. ELLD-X isn’t listed, it’s spire point. Lyman 50th says 71gr. Don’t really care about other powders or...

Peterson is going to start making brass for the 7PRC.

pulled the trigger on the Element in 7PRC. Dude you’re not going to be disappointed. It’s a very accurate rifle. I shot factory 175g ELD-X today and got 2885 fps from the 22” barrel. Recoil seemed a little less than my heavier 7mm RM. Now we just need more factory ammunition.

My collection of firearms, reloading gear and ammunition has grown to the point where it would be quite devastating if something catastrophic happened, whether it would be theft, fire etc. My insurance agent wants me to list out what I have, I’m a little hesitant to do that. What are you guys...

sounds very similar to the package deal I’m looking at from Scheels. Except it has Leupold VX-6 3-18. I agree it is stupid light. Just a little concerned about recoil from such a light rifle.

Looking at the Seekins Havak Element in 7PRC for a lightweight mountain Elk hunting gun. 6# rifle with a 1:8 twist 22” barrel. It’s light, and short enough to add a suppressor without being too heavy or making it too long. What does the hide think?

Thanks for that. Going to start using Frog Lube from now on.

for a military perspective I understand.556. lighter, can carry more ammo, and flat enough to shoot at combat distances. if going suppressed, its hard to beat the .300bo. crazy quiet

i have both thermal and PVS-14. if i had to choose just one, i’d go with thermal hands down. after getting thermal i see way more things at night. thermal is a game changer.

Curious, how do you physically attach the external battery to the scanner?

Those who have a Phenom, what’s your battery life in colder weather? Thanks

Kirsch, Did Bering ever come up with a external battery mount for the phenom? The phenom interests me a lot, but the battery life in 10 deg and colder concerns me.

Just checking for other people that are looking to get into thermal game. I run a reap IR and a pulsar XP50 for a scanner, for coyote hunting. Most people are blown away by the image after I show them, then immediately turned off by the price. What do you use/hunt?
