    Personal Locator Beacon

    I’ve used the InReach and spot but not the ACR as I want communications. InReach uses iridium sats while spot uses global star. Up in the interior of Alaska where I am anything global star sucks. Down at your latitude it would probably be fine. I would encourage her to get a device with a...

    This NEEDS to go before I go and do something rash. Bump it up and good luck with the sale!

    This is my sidekick. Laying on his toys waiting for me to finish my correspondence this morning and head outside.

    Hunting & Fishing Who here hunts with a 338WM?

    Have you shot any decent sized critters with the 230 eldx at close range. Just picked up a box and am going to try them out. I’m figuring they’ll just come apart like others have posted, but I still wanted to give them a whirl.

    McMillian - Manners?

    I’ve owned both. In fairness, I haven’t owned a manners of recent construction so perhaps it’s changed, but the manners I’ve owned always had what appeared to be burst surface bubbles making little craters in the finish. Not being an individual that gets wrapped up in aesthetics as much as...

    Social media

    We have to do FB for our business. As much as I loath doing it and as much as it pains me to admit, it’s been the source of a lot of business for us. Aside from that, just a couple outdoor/shooting forums.

    By “on the banks” , as opposed to on the river, then touché. ? if you mean Fairbanks as Ken assumed, it’s nice to see another shooter from the interior. Most are down in the Matsu and Anchorage area. I’m on the Middle Yukon in the western interior, but all our flights come out of Fairbanks for...

    Hunting & Fishing Who here hunts with a 338WM?

    Been filling the freezer with mine for the last 8 years or so shooting 210TTSX. Certainly not necessary, but it sure works and I really like the rifle. I’ve got other options, but it sure gets the job done. If I could pick a round for everything up here it would probably be a 300wsm, or WM...

    Thanks guys. That’s good information.

    Barnes .308 175 LRX

    Just went and entered all my data into the Berger stability calc. Never messed with that before. Pretty cool. ? to get out of marginally stable I need to go with a 1-9.5” twist. I’ll have to see what Moon has on the shelf.

    No biggie. I appreciate the effort. Thanks.

    Barnes .308 175 LRX

    Just got off the phone with their tech support. He assured me that a 10 twist would stabilize that bullet. If anyone has information that says otherwise please chime in.

    Barnes .308 175 LRX

    Yeah, that’s probably the best thing to do. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t stabilize in a 10, but I’ve heard rumblings that say otherwise. Just trying to do some homework before committing to a twist for the build.

    Barnes .308 175 LRX

    Anyone shooting this bullet? Want to use this as a hunting bullet in a 30-06 Moon is putting together for me. I know these are pretty long and wanted to make sure a 10 twist will stabilize them. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

    USPS taking their sweet time, or.....

    Yep, should’ve sent it registered. Oh well, can’t call it back now. I’m glad to hear things are slow, not for the inconvenience of others, but I won’t start sweating it yet. It’ll probably show up in another few days. Thanks for the input from everyone.

    USPS taking their sweet time, or.....

    That’s what I’m hopiing. Just starting to get a little anxious. It used to be you could follow its progress with the tracking, now it’s just a big black hole until it arrives at its destination. Being able to see progress at least gave you some feeling of satisfaction.
