    Custom rifle or take the money?

    Agree thier site leaves alot to be desired. They may actually be discontinuing some of the Oryx line of ammo for whatever reason I don't know since it's not one of the latest and greatest low drag forms. Regardless they flat out work.

    Custom rifle or take the money?

    The Oryx bullet is an excellent hunting bullet mushrooms even at low velocity but is constructed to were there is basically no jacket separation at higher velocity. Me and my dad killed quite a few deer and hogs with them when I was kid in 6.5x55.

    Custom rifle or take the money?

    The last one I shot was with a 308win and 168amax at about 110yds. Entry left collar bone, exit mid rib cage right hand side. Pretty much disembowled and then watched three Caracaras squabble and fight over eating it. The doe and fawn it was following lived to fight another day.

    Man If were Trump in that moment I would have taken the opertunity to drift off to a topic of my choice that I wanted to discuss but know wouldn't be brought up otherwise.

    New to non SAAMI Loads- 7x300Win ANY/ALL advice needed and greatly appreciated.

    I forgot to mention that one👍 When I sent my last barrel to Kelblys I dropped a note that I would only be using Lapua brass. Not sure if it really mattered but my chamber is .0015 to .002 longer than virgin Lapua brass. So my sized brass is pretty much the exact same dimension base to shoulder...

    New to non SAAMI Loads- 7x300Win ANY/ALL advice needed and greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like you have things pretty well figured out and if you weren't already invested so heavily in the direction you have chosen I would have recommended to just go with the 7mm PRC. It would have saved you alot of extra steps and work primarily on the brass prep. I would get a couple of...

    Hunting & Fishing Sandhill crane hunt

    I could definitely envision that, the first time I was in South Africa I had a medium rare Ostrich steak and would put it on par with a premium cut of beef.

    You always hear them before you see them, growing up in south Texas you know how to make the sound when you are just a pup. Sounds similar to a Widgeon duck call but more of a rattling sound.

    Hunting & Fishing Sandhill crane hunt

    Honestly I never tried hunting them, were I lived in south Texas our house was on a farm in the middle of thousands of acres grain fields. Once harvest was going on you could wing shoot doves until you ran out of ammo or your shoulder was so fucking sore you didn't want to pick up a shotgun let...

    CVN-75 in a fender bender near Suez Port Said

    I will agree with that, and there are no PR photos of him performing a rifle demo with the optic mounted backwards.

    New Custom 6 GT Build

    The last team sniper challenge I watched was a team that I believe finished second out of all service branches and swat teams that were running an original Vortex Viper. Those fools didn't get the memo 📝

    Custom rifle or take the money?

    MEH, barrels are consumables. For a coyote rifle it's not like he is going to be running 10-12 round strings In rapid succession as a normal course of fire. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari and put discount tires on it. If barrel life were the main concern the a 30BR running 118-125 gr bullets would be...

    New toy, and a question

    I have owned several 22wmr as well and finally acquired one that shoots lights out. Not sure why that is but agitating. EDIT: Whoops I'm a goon I see you were referring to the lilja barrels.

    Custom rifle or take the money?

    Take the rifle in 243win, definitely the most capable and well rounded of all you listed given the correct twist rate is chosen. If you can't find an assortment of 243win ammo on the shelf locally your probably not in Armerica anymore. The 6mm CM is just the modern version and if you don't...

    Hunting & Fishing Sandhill crane hunt

    Have never tried it but my uncles on my mom's side called them the ribeye of the sky. 😁 I had many things growing up but we ate more wild game than most people. Everything from alligator, armadillo, turtles, snakes, game birds of all kinds and about every kind of fish. A cajun dish that's great...
