Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
I have no personal experience, nor can I recall someone I know telling me about using them. I don't doubt they'd probably work, but I'd personally ease into them and see how it goes on a tag of less importance. They won't hang on to velocity as well as the match bullets, so I wouldn't stretch...- Carl

Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
Shooting volume is one reason I favor the smaller rounds. I shoot 80-200+ on a typical range day. When you factor cost and barrel heat, it's much easier to do when burning less powder. Not to mention, almost no one wants to shoot 100 rounds of magnum from a lightweight rifle in one sitting...- Carl

Some guys get religious about it, which can certainly be a turn off. I bet that works :) When in a position where people are asking about hunting rounds, 90% of the time I recommend a 6.5 something.- Carl

Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
For my guns? Used 88 ELD's in a 22 Creedmoor, was very satisfied with their terminal performance. They could group a little tighter but shot well enough to not limit my range. Plan to give the 88 TMK's a try as soon as I can get my hands on them. For your 8 twist 223, I'd start with the 75...- Carl

I’ve seen those, if I still had any in factory plastic stocks I’d definitely give one a try.- Carl

3D printed suppressors ??? Will the price go down?
Quite a lot of difference between a titanium 3-d printed can, and a polymer DIY one. The idea that regular 3-d printers are going to sell out as a result of this rule change is laughable, but I can see people trying it out for low pressure applications. On the titanium side, they've been... -

Unknown Suppressors OG Experience
Regarding recoil reduction between the OG/OG 6.5 and the Ultra 7, same/same as well as I can tell via shooting. A well designed recoil sled might show some difference, but my shoulder and eyeball says a difference either way is in the noise. From everything I know it's actually a very good... -

Unknown Suppressors OG Experience
I've got a OG and OG 6.5, a TBAC Ultra 7 Gen 2, and a Magnus, and have been around plenty of Nomad's amongst many others. The Nomad's seem good, no knocks, near as I can tell they seem similar to my Ultra 7. I am friends with some of the crew who developed the OG, and I do like to support my... -

Minimum Elk Caliber. what do you think it is.
Placement - bullet - impact velocity Killing elk is not that hard. The last eight elk I've taken were with various flavors of 6mm. I've seen nothing to make me want to move up in diameter. -

Is your mall crawler ready to go?
I like it. Jig saw'd the valence on my '17 while it was in place, no regrets there. My 6.2 has never sniffed 14 mpg for a tank, much less 16.something.- Carl
