    Spice blends

    You are way better off mixing your own-- most commercial spice blends are primarily salt-- but I'm a big fan of Savory Spice's Kansas City Strip Steak Seasoning: https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/products/kansas-city-strip-steak-seasoning The Pike's Peak Butcher's Rub is pretty good, too...

    Old Iron

    30-40 is going to get you 250-300ish fps more over a 30-30 with projectiles of like weight and do it with pointier ends, too. Best comparison is a low-end .300 Savage.

    Montana Deer Permit Advice

    One of my favorite stands on the Alabama farm we hunt is the bed of ancient F-150 sitting on blocks with a blind built around it, situated on a long-abandoned railroad embankment.

    Pondering factory loads vs starting loads

    He will, in fact, answer the phone and the last time I chatted with him mentioned this guy on HT who seemed to be a member of the Hammer Pro Staff. He laughed and immediately mentioned you by name. Super nice guy.

    Pondering factory loads vs starting loads

    I'm planning on experimenting with the 95gr. HHTs and H4831sc in a .257 Ackley. Since Hammer doesn't publish .257AI data, I'm thinking about using Barnes 100gr. TTSX load data and backing down 2-3% from max. Any obvious red flags in doing so?

    Pondering factory loads vs starting loads

    So here is a dumb question: Hammer load data only lists starting min. loads but gives a max. attainable velocity. Are you using max. book data-.5grn for similarly weighted projectiles listed in other load manuals? PS: Anyone got any Hybrid 100V they want to get rid of?
