    Anyone done a spartan race or similar?

    Ive run a few tough mudders and some local 5 mile obstacle/mud runs. Get yourself a good pair of trail shoes like the salmon speed crosses or something similar. They drain well and have great tread that will help with keeping your footing. If your running a later heat you usually have some...

    Case trimmers

    Check out the Frankford Arsenal system. Good reviews. I've got one on the way. The Girarud wasn't in the budget. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012719754/frankford-arsenal-platinum-series-case-prep-and-trim-center

    Suggestions for my 300wm

    Depending on the distance you want to stretch it to you may want to look at something a little heavier than a 165. I shoot a 200gr ELD-X over H1000 in my 300. Have taken them out to 1700 yds at steel and took 2 deer at 3 and 400 with them last year.

    Subsonic Load

    I'm sure a more seasoned sub loader will chime in but I'm shooting 10 gr of trailboss under a 150gr rn flat base that gives me pretty much .25 MOA accuracy at 50. At 100 it groups the same but is dropping 10.5 inches from my 50 yard zero. You might try a different bullet or backing down your...

    Settled on a load for 168SMK in Rem 700 SPS-V

    Looks like that's a winner! Why 168's? Are you shooting mainly under 600? I switched to the 175's recently. Take less powder and are good at much further distances as well as close range.

    best overall bolt action rifle for around $800?

    I just purchased a Savage 10 PC in .308. I am pretty new to the forum and certainly don't have the knowledge or experience of most of the members here. I have owned a number of Savage rifles for hunting and they all shoot much better than I do. Of the 4 I have owned they all shot sub MOA with...

    Buds guns??? Any one buy from them?

    I have ordered 4 from them. They ship them out quick and typically have the best price even after paying the FFL transfer fee.
