    Suppressor Opinions

    I would chose the Dead Air XC TI for the banish backcountry any day of the week. And it’s cheaper. Plus better suppression if you compare pewscience data and sound summit data. I have both. The back country doesn’t get to go out much. My ears ring after one or two shots using it. So Dead air...

    Supressors and velocity.

    Suppressor isn’t changing your speed but a few feet per second. But, it is changing your point of impact as others have stated. It’s a weight in the end of a barrel that changes the harmonics. Rezero for the suppressor and you’ll be fine.

    What is the wait time going to be for suppressor approval starting 1/1/2026?

    I was at 38 days with a trust. Before 26 I had a few approvals that were under a week. Still ok with 38 days. My first was just under a year.

    What is the wait time going to be for suppressor approval starting 1/1/2026?

    I submitted my form 4 on a trust on 2/18. Just got approved today, 3/19. Last year my longest wait on a trust was 7 days. Way better than my first which was a year. But they are moving them through.

    A chance at redemption - WY Bison

    Great job. It’s been fun talking back and forth since we both drew. Your area looks close to where I shot mine. Dan is the man. One of the nicest dudes I’ve met. Congratulations. Great write up.

    280 AI help

    Update: As many have suggested I’ve tried 140 AB and 145 Barnes. Great accuracy and speeds that I’m pleased with. I will fine tune a little. H4831SC and Rl23 are the winners. Thanks again. Did kill a late season cow with the 140 AB. 200 yds didn’t go anywhere.

    Thank you for all the information. I’ll look into the powders mentioned and the 150 AB.

    Is there any value in trying magnum primers? I’m sure it wouldn’t add that much if any?

    Hush splitting up?

    Heart attack was 2025. He hasn’t been on any videos since the heart attack. He was the only one in the group that I liked to watch.

    I was hoping to get 175 eldx shooting. But I would like more velocity at the muzzle.

    280 AI help

    I’m not committed to the 168’s. Just was hoping to get a heavier bullet with a higher bc through the 280. I have 140 and 160 Accubonds. I also have 145 lrx. I will likely try a few of the powder combos listed above and see what happens. Likely will end up in the 140/145 bullet weight though. I...

    I need some help or suggestions. I have a 280 rem AI that I built this fall. 20” carbon6 barrel 1:8 twist. Aero precision Solus lt action. I’ve just started the loading process for it. I want to shoot 168 ABLR but my velocities are anemic. I’ve tried H4350, H4831sc, and IMR 4350 and...

    Fierce or Christensen Arms?

    I have two Christensens. One Mesa and one Ridgeline. Both good rifles. Shoot better than me. Both have killed lots of elk and deer. My only complaint is the bolt. It doesn’t run as smoothly as I would like. But as long as I don’t short pull the bolt it will reliably grab the next case and load...
