    6.5 Grendel

    I killed 3 deer and a coyote with the Cavity Back 105gr MKZ. it performed well. I found one bullet and it opened great. (As you are experiencing I couldn’t find the bullets I would normally have used.) I may try the 129 ablr this year as well. It opens down to 1300’/s as I remember.

    Movin Trucks

    The last time I moved a child, I used Penske since they had a diesel. previously we had moved a married son with a u-haul pulling a car. Louisiana through Chattanooga to Virginia. Big mistake! If significant weight or any vertical get a diesel…

    Shotgun wing shooters

    Hire a coach! A good coach can save you a lot of time and probably money with the price of shells. They can watch and a good one can see where the pattern goes. They can also tell if your gun doesn’t fit - very important with a shotgun. A ShotKam does help, but my biggest improvement came with a...

    Rife Scope Recommendation (Vortex, Nightforce or Kahles)

    Regarding prairie dogs, most of my shoots are 200 to 450 yards and I like to go when pups are just out (I.e. Small.). 10 power and under will be a real disadvantage. I would suggest ar least 15 and prefer upper end of 22 or more. (Of course once you go you will decide to get 2 or 3 dedicated...

    Once you are down, why waste your best pitchers? Their number 1 starter should be available tomorrow.

    This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

    My older brother and I had a 65 Corvair convertible with 4 one barrel carburetors! We got it up just over 110 mph. Amazing we lived through that!

    Reloading side hustle

    I have allowed friends and relatives to use my equipment, but I don't load for them. Liability is an issue imho. I know what to do when a round mis functions, but I doubt many have a clue. For example, i have missed powder in a revolver load - bullet went in the barrel - I knew STOP! don’t shoot...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Leather holster recommendation please

    Look at Tom Thurner (TTgunleather) I don’t know if he covers all of the options you need but I have a few of his holsters and they are nice! He is very easy to work with.

    Which red dot for small carry pistol?

    Take a look at the Shield RMSc. I have one on my 365xl and like it. Made in England.

    Help me breathe some new life into my old Model 7!

    The only issue I have is my barrel is heavy. (I don’t recall profile) It is Ok for going to a deer stand but not walking for elk. If you don’t go with a carbon fiber, you may want to research getting a custom profile barrel. Thinner and then up to min diam needed to have 5/8 thread needed for...

    Help me breathe some new life into my old Model 7!

    6.5 (or 260 rem) with 129ABLR, new barrel, true and bed the action. (Or put it in a chassis) New trigger - could do later if budget is an issue. mine went from 1.5 to 2” groups to 3/8” groups. It is a very accurate rifle. Model 7 actions are AWSOME!

    6mm Rem Model Seven youth, rebarrel or conversion?

    maybe I’m missing something, but measure the mag and see what COAL is needed for the bullets of interest. Also you should be able to just seat the bullet deeper to meet what ever length your mag can take. (You just lose powder capacity.) Or you could make up a dummy round and try to feed it.

    6mm Rem Model Seven youth, rebarrel or conversion?

    I put a new barrel on a model 7 260R and love it! Even with appropriate bullets I couldn’t get moa from the pencil barrel. Very accurate with new barrel. If you reload and already have the components I would stay with 6 mm Remington. It is a good round. If you aren’t reloading, then change to...

    Night Vision Loaner and scanner thermal need

    That is what I’m thinking. How wide? Stay at 35 or go lower? Low power - how low? 1? 2? 4 or 5 is too high I think? There are so many options out there…

    Night Vision Loaner and scanner thermal need

    I have an older (no internal recording, memory, saving zero, etc) IR Defense 35mm and NV but since my wife freaks if I go by myself and on occasion a property owner will want to go with me, I need a loaner for a guest. I would also use it as a scanner when no guest is present. I hunt pigs and...

    Begrudgingly, I’m looking to get back to reloading and right now specifically looking at electronic powder dispensers

    68 isn’t old…1954 was a good year! you don’t say what you do, how much you shoot, or what you can spend. I’m 68 and deer hunt, prairie dog shoot, hog hunt, coyote hunt, take grandkids hunting, and compete on occasion. If you shoot a lot, get an autotrickler /thrower. It saves SO much time! And...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting pistol optic questions

    Based on my experience I would go with a 44 mag, added rail, and an RMR. I say this because in theory you can (and I guess some really can) shoot 100 yds with a scoped pistol. But in FIELD hunting conditions, I sure couldn’t! I don’t push past 50 yards and a red dot is good for that. Does...
