    4DOF in kestrel, as good as AB? 1st Kestrel

    I already read through that thread. I was hoping to get some input on the accuracy of the software.

    4DOF in kestrel, as good as AB? 1st Kestrel

    I am considering getting my first kestrel and going with the 4DOF model. Is the ballistic calculator as accurate as applied ballistics? Is this software in the kestrel as as usable as the applied ballistics?

    6.5 PRC vs 300 wsm

    I hunt elk and big game long range with a 300 WSM and hand loads (out to 850 but I would go to 1K if conditions were perfect). Between those two, I would go WSM. There is not replacement for displacement. People will say "shot placement" and ya that is true. But shot placement isn't always...

    PRS Talk Whats the popular caliber these days?

    I hear that most guys are running 6mms now instead of 6.5s. IS that accurate? What flavor of 6mm? I am in Wyoming so are guys in the western states also switching to 6mms? Thanks.

    Feeding 300 WSM in Tikka re-do

    A few years ago I set up a Tikka 300 WSM for LR hunting. It is a factory action and barrel, CDI dbm, fed by .338 AICS mags from the factory stock. I originally set it up to touch the lands or jump a couple thousandths but I don't want to chase them and I don't like the massive .338 mag. I am...

    LWRC REPR match grade barrel?

    This is where I'm at. It has moments of brilliance where it will shoot clover leaves but that is 1 of 10 groups. Otherwise they're 1"-2".

    LWRC REPR match grade barrel?

    Several years ago I bought an LWRC REPR and I have never been happy with the accuracy from it. I have considered sending it to a smith and having them spin up a match grade barrel for it. Is this possible? It has LWRC's custom gas block and up receiver so I am not sure if it can be done...

    Bushnell 1 Mile ARC for Golf?

    Ok I know this is off topic but I am also a golfer and want a rangefinder for golf too. Is there anyone who has crossed over the 1 Mile ARC and tried it on a golf course? The ARC is 299 at Brownells and a good Bushnell golf rangefinder is $300-$500. Currently I am using a Bushnell 1600...

    Suppressors Supersonic rounds through suppressed rifle, hearing safe? Do you wear ear pro?

    I am curious as to whether or not a suppressed rifle in the 26" barrel length range shooting supersonic ammo is hearing safe? Specifically your typical 308/260/6.5s/300s/and even 338s. I have heard and read that it is not hearing safe and ear pro should be worn due to the supersonic crack. I...

    Suppressors Trust lawyer. Online or local recommendations from customers please

    I saw that one and may use it. If it is a solid trust I would be happy to use it but I don't want to skimp.

    Suppressors Trust lawyer. Online or local recommendations from customers please

    I am ready to set up a trust. I'm not asking for a debate on whether to use an online generic source or a local firm. I am asking for information on who is a reliable, "no-questions-asked" online source for a trust. If you know my location, any recommendations in Wyoming? Thanks

    Hunting & Fishing warhammer, blue widow, or MR metcalf for elk

    I was settled on the warhammer to be used with the spike camp duffle but now I am thinking about the blue widow or mystery ranch metcalf. I will be using it for back country bivy camp elk hunting. The blue widow looks nice but I have read the poly board style frame of the blue widow is not as...
