    Hunting & Fishing Mechanical broadheads for deer?

    31” draw length 70lb Mathews Traverse. 465gr arrow (including 125gr broadhead) at 280fps I bought some NAP Spitfires but haven’t shot anything with my bow yet. Got it at the end of last deer season so I’d have until August to practice. So far I’m doing pretty well. Just looking at...

    How far could you hit a 19”W x 24”H target with 100% certainty?

    No aids. No kestrel. No range finder. No dope cards. No buddies to coach or spot for you. Just you, your scoped rifle with bipod, and a rear bag (Wilcox turned off) Target distance is unknown. Wind is 5 to 10 MPH shifting from 7 to 10 o’ clock. Target is unobscured, not moving, freshly...

    Not impressed with ELDX terminal performance

    I have shot two bucks this season with 143gr ELDX out of a 6.5CM. 42.1gr RL16 in Lapua brass. The freak 6pt was shot in the lungs at 175y and the 9pt was shot somewhat quartering to me in the neck/shoulder joint at 90y. Both rounds exploded upon impact. The 9pt didn’t even have an exit wound or...

    Machine guns - time to sell?

    Prices have skyrocketed over the last few years. $21k M16s from just 5~ years ago are now pushing $40k. HK Sears are north of $50k. It's clown world. Hold on to them as the supply is finite or time to let them go?

    Switching 6.5 CM loads from 26" w/ H4350 to 20" and RL16

    I'm out of 4350. Saw a guy locally asking $400 for an 8lb jug...and got it o_O I admire the dedication of the buyer to stick with what he knows, but I jumped ship to RL16. I also got a new rifle which has a 20" Krieger barrel. So now I need to do new rifle load development with a new powder. It...

    Looking for a reliable and accurate 6.5 Creedmoor Gas Gun

    I’ve looked at Larue, JP, Noveske, and KAC but unsure what the best way to go is. Larue and Noveske seem overpriced and their wait times are *Stupid*. Lots of good reviews about JP by PRS folks but I’ve never shot one. KAC seems reliable but I’m unsure the accuracy is there. These are all...

    Does Muzzle Brake timing affect accuracy?

    See pic for amount of timing it is off. I can’t find a combination of shims that get it closer, and this is with two packs. Note the pencil marks. Just wondering if this has any appreciable effect on accuracy. For what it’s worth, it is an MPA Switch lug in 6.5 creedmoor.

    SCAR 17 range report

    I feel like I've plastered this all over the internet, but I was told at the range today to register here and post this. I've met a few Hide members, and if the rest of the forum is anything like that bunch I know I'll fit in just fine. Anyway, I finally got my SCAR out after purchasing it on...
