Hunting & Fishing Who here hunts with their designated precision rifle?
I have on several occasions with my 16lb 6.5WSM. But i'll be perfectly honest. I don't have to hike as much as most of you gents. If I did, my go to rifle wouldn't be 16lbs I can tell you that. t- T J

Hunting & Fishing 6 vs 6.5 for whitetail?
Yes, both. One better than the other.... Yes lol They really are completely different animals. IMHO, where one shines the other does not. The Barnes is a solid, with a marginal BC; the Berger is a Cup & Core with a great BC. For me, inside 400 the Barnes gets the nod every time. Outside...- T J

Hunting & Fishing 6 vs 6.5 for whitetail?
For me, it's a pure toss up; whichever floats my boat when I decide to go out. Although I hunt Mule deer and not Whitetail, I can say that the 6mm has killed far more of the deer I've taken than any other diameter bullet including either of my 6.5s. Does that make it better? Hell no, but I'm...- T J

I'd have to vote 6.5-06 or even the AI version. The last AI I had built feeds just fine from a STD internal mag. t- T J

Rifle Scopes Burris customer service
Another very positive experience here. A few months back I sent a Gen 1 XTR in for repair. I had it back in less than 2wks and they paid return freight... Damn good service. t- T J

Cleaning primer pockets
I use the RCBS uniforming tool after every firing. Definitely makes the primer seating depth more uniform... whether it makes any difference at all is another story... t- T J

Gunsmithing Bedding. . .
Well stated Chad.... And that would be why there are 2 LRI bedded rifles in my safe lol For some, function is all a feller needs; for others, form is as or nearly as important. Someone once wrote: "For those not willing to pay for the very best, almost anything will do." - I think it was...- T J

What's your favorite caliber for hunting?
A million different answers and none of them are wrong. As we can see, it really depends on where the hunting takes place and what's on the menu. Out here in Wyo, I shoot a 6mm bullet at almost everything. .243, 6mmai or 6mm-284. I've shot a couple truck loads of deer with a 6mm, is it the...- T J

300 SAUM, 168gr/175gr/185gr Berger possible in a SA?
I run a Lazzeroni Patriot (30 cal short mag) out of a 700 short action. After shooting Barnes for years, I have been playing with the 190 Bergers. I'm still mag feeding them, I do have to admit that i'm still in the preliminary stages of testing but they are feeding just fine. For what it's...- T J

Solid copper bullets
Sectional density is of far more importance with the "conventional" type of bullets as they tend to shed weight as the bullet penetrates. Solids don't shed nearly as much weight as the cup & core types. From the animals I've killed & those I've seen killed, I've witnessed Mono's stack a...- T J

Latest: 7mm RSAUM Manners T5A MC
In all honesty, this rifle (& it's near identical twin in 6.5WSM) are ~16lbs. Not something I would shoot from a stick but it should work with practice. Awkward positions are a piece of cake once you become familiar with the rifle. For me it's simple, vertical grip or bust; unless I get an...- T J

Latest: 7mm RSAUM Manners T5A MC
The only issue I have with the T5 is, when I ordered my first (this is the 2nd) I could not order the T5-A in a left hand orientation, I had to order the standard (non-adjustable) T5 & have Chad work his magic. This increases lead time & probably cost as well but, as a lefty i'm sure you're...- T J

Latest: 7mm RSAUM Manners T5A MC
I still think it looks better in real life. I traded for this rig a while ago, I'm damn happy to add'er to my stable. Big thanks to the crew at LongRifles.... Only problem is, Chad talked me into another build while I was there to pick this one up! t- T J

"CR-MOD 1" A Weapon Review 300 blackout suppressed.
Easy chief, save the preachin' for Sunday. I at no time said anything about making anything suffer. Quite frankly, I can blame them for killing cattle when i'm watching them do it. If we need to discuss this more, PM from here on out as to not derail a good thread. t- T J

"CR-MOD 1" A Weapon Review 300 blackout suppressed.
That's no shit, I can't recall how many i've popped with 22-243 running at or over 4000fps. Not all of them were bang flops, I can guarantee that. On a second note: Mike, are we really discussing the ethics of shooting a f-ing coyote? Keep that in mind the next time you see a couple of...- T J
