    Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

    Cleaned the channel out and it’s still doing it. Wasn’t near as bad as my staccato P was when it started doing the same thing, the amount of crap in there was amazing. New extractor is on the way. Aside from the safety, this will be the last factory mim part left. As far as the second part, I’m...

    Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

    Reviving this thread seeking some troubleshooting help for my kids 4.25”. Out of nowhere, his prodigy started failing to extract. Slide cycles after the shot, extractor fails to grab the fired case out of the chamber, slide attempts to load the next round jamming everything up. When it started...

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    My older swaro sts 65 fits the anvil 30 just fine. I do recommend some time glassing with it before you go. As you said, it’s either too tight or falling over. With some practice you can get to the point of being able to pan with the anvil 30, or at least slightly shift over to pick apart the...

    Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

    If you’re a fan of slide guitar, have to throw Derek Trucks in the ring. With Allman brothers roots, he’s arguably the best slide guitarist currently. Solo at 03:25

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    Love my TFCT 33, it simply rocks. It allows things not possible with lesser tripods. I’m thinking, for the mountain hunter/shooter. The TFCT 33 & 14 are great compliments to the gear room. Super stable platform in the 33, and then ultra light compactness when required in the 14. Only have to...

    Healt friendly brass polish

    One time, I dumped my usual corn cob tumbling media in a small tote to sort brass. Got distracted and forgot to dump it back into the tumbler. My kids cat pissed in it. Best. Polish. Ever. Tumble for 30 minutes and the brass came out looking new.

    Dry Walnut media. You want some carbon in the neck area.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    While I don’t have the experience you do on the AR platform and Grendel, I agree 100%. The trijicon tenmile series is attractive in this role, the only downside being, they’re a bit long. The new Steiner h6xi 2-12 is looking good also. I hunt like I shoot, with precision. Can’t do a simple...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Interesting analysis, I’ve been struggling with optic selection for this platform. I borrowed a buddy’s noveske 18” 6 arc with razor 1-6 to proof the concept for myself. While it worked, for hits to mid range, it wasn’t ideal for my purpose as a hunting optic, definitely less scalpel vs minute...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Same as above, if around the 30oz mark, it would be a great crossover optic for my hunting rig.

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and your patience. I’ll search around more before I get into it. I’ve converted cases before and now have access to some high end equipment to make the job way easier and faster. No more neck turning with a hand held cutter and a dewalt, thank...

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Are you using quickload or standard work up practices when determining your upper limit? Also, what speeds were you seeing, specifically in 308, with 175-185 class bullets and are they mag fed? I just snagged a couple hundred of the hybrid cases to experiment with. My goal is to see if I can...

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    I vote for you to start a dedicated thread here. Super cool stuff. Your 250gr data is only 125fps slower than a 300 WSM 28” a buddy was trying to sell me. Thought it was cool, just not what I want to do with that case. I’m curious what round counts you have on the rifles you’re shooting the...
