I have 1000 dollars (What should I buy )
Used tikka ctr in 6.5 creed, or save up a bit more and get a new one. Shoot it as is for awhile, upgrade as you learn. That would be my first choice. Ruger rpr in 6.5 creed, really needs nothing. Find a used Remington 700 varmint or other heavy barrel with some barrel life left in it. Howa is a...- BJames

BREAKING 01/31/25 6:20PM EST: Plane crashes near Philadelphia mall. ETA: Updates coming in now.
It’s not. By time a pilot gets to this level of aircraft, they have 1,000’s of hours or literal years of instrument time and actual IFR. Thats time spent actually in the clouds and not simulating. Jet aircraft and many turbo props these days are pretty much almost completely flown on...- BJames

Buying an old Ford Square Body
I’m in the same boat OP. Considering selling my ‘17 F250 off, just found a pristine ‘01 F350 with a 7.3 and manual 6spd. It’s really tempting…- BJames

Velocity of Loads
Is your brass prep squared away? If so, you’ll see sd/es tighten up on fired brass vs new brass with a known load, speeds will change also. I wouldn’t put much stock in any numbers right now. Reload that same brass and see what you get. Sounds like you’re new to this, not a bad thing, we’ve all...- BJames

DNT is gonna let us do a reticle
What about something similar to the George Gardner/bushnell G3, but with a floating dot, .2 windage on the main stadia, .2 thickness? For 3-18, circle of death. Or something similar that doesn’t infringe on anyone’s “design”.- BJames

choosing the right 7mm variant this time around
Didn’t one of those rokslide dude’s just kill a couple Nilgai with their new 6UM? Full disclosure, I have no idea what it takes to kill those funky looking things other than put holes where they need to be. OP, Why not another 7 prc? Overbore cartridges like those aren’t going to have much...- BJames

DO NOT LOSE YOUR CARD!
This is the way. As a guy who travels for a living, a cc with whoever has the best fraud policies is key, cash is a secondary. I have roughly 2-3 cards a year get compromised. I get notifications within seconds of that transaction asking if it’s me, text, then a phone call. Cancel that card...- BJames

anyone bought a Zermätt Origin Action lately
Origins rock. Buy with confidence, and then don’t mess with it. Have 300 WSM, 7 saum, and 6.5 prc barrels for mine.- BJames

Chainsaw decision help...
About 7 years ago, needed to thin some trees out. Mostly medium sized birch but a handful of bigger cottonwoods. Went to the local hardware store to buy a 271 farmboss, figured that was all the saw I would ever need. They had a decent sale going on and reasoned since I had already planned to...- BJames

Didn't stick the landing...
Yeah, these guys do some things different. We’ve got reference cards and a bunch of supplemental stuff in the FH/FOM for things like this. Tons of guidance. The 9’s are a pain, fly great but shit performance, thankfully we only have 5 left and they’re going away slowly. 900er’s are fine, I’d...- BJames

Didn't stick the landing...
Depends on the operator. Previous operator of mine had us crank it and on the bus prior to the FAF, current operator doesn’t require it unless qrh driven. Etops is either on demand or continuous ops, as specified in the paperwork. As far as everyday ops, my operator is very cost driven (like...- BJames

Can I shoot 300wm out of a crux nemesis30-PMS suppressor help.
No direct experience with that can, but typically 30 cal is good for 30 cal, diameter wise. Where it can get weird is barrel length, since you’re not attempting to shoot it on a 14” 300 wm, I would shoot it on your MPR if it were me.- BJames

Kimber Hunter info
The action is fine, nothing is as slim or lightweight. Shouldered barrels, no such thing as prefits for these. Also, just be warned, Kimber CS and as a company in general, fucking suck. They’ll be all nice and stuff, they’ll fix your stuff, then charge you through the nose for it. To top it off...- BJames

Trump, The Second George Washington
You should read the book The Swamp Fox, about the dude who the patriot movie is very loosely based on. Talks about guys flip flopping sides constantly, depending on who happened to be “winning” at the time, paying more, or allowing looting. It’s pretty enlightening, we didn’t have a huge number...- BJames

Federal does it again 😅
Agreed. There are so many 7’s that perform very similarly, in the market today. While I think a bunch of them are cool as shit, I’m not going to spend the time and money to invest in one for only one barrel. Especially when my current stable of calibers meets performance expectations for what I...- BJames
