    7mm Backcountry anyone?

    Sig hybrid 6.8 fury brass is your huckleberry. You wouldn’t be the first.

    Silencerco Scythe question

    I wouldn’t mess with the ASR or any additional muzzle adapter at all unless your barrel isn’t threaded 5/8x24. And in that case, I’d just get a hub direct thread adapter for your threads to replace the one that came in the can. Edit to elaborate: asr brake is just going to add weight, cost, and...

    Sierra MKX

    Traditional matchking’s bc were pretty gohunt but they have some pretty solid BCs on newer pointer bullets. These don’t excite me at face value. I’d guess they are designed to perform like a Berger hunting bullet?

    .25 Creed! But Why?

    I think the heavy for cal 25 bullets strike a great balance between weight and BC. You need the 150+ class 6.5s to beat them in BC but then you need even more powder/recoil to get velocity. I’ve got plenty of 6.5 and 6mm barrels and components to keep me busy for a while but I’ll strongly...

    Ball Head Recommendations?

    They are but I’m not interested in spending outdoorsman money for one.

    Ball Head Recommendations?

    The leofoto knock off is probably a better head for glassing than the anvil because it has a panning base. My more shooting oriented tripod is a RRS TFCT 24L with the integrated anvil. The anvil is not ideal for glassing as it’s pretty “grabby”. I sold my outdoorsman pan and micro pan heads...

    Question for the 30 cal guys

    Thats what i'm limited to with 300 wsm too and i have shot mostly 200eldx but 180 BT/AB as well. The RCM has near the same case body and overall length but a little less chubby. I'd probably look at 180 Ballistic tips, accubonds if you want more "controlled" wounds, or maybe 185 bergers...

    Question for the 30 cal guys

    Cool gun. Are you mag length constrained?

    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    Your tags, while cheap, are significantly more expensive than MT resident license fees on a % basis. And MT resident hunters have clearly resisted raising the fees, so I guess the proof is in the puddin. Sounds like this thing is headed to GG for signing?

    PRS Style competition rifle setup

    Give the MDT Polymer 12 round AICS mags a go. They come in at a good price point for an AI pattern mag and allow long COAL. That's what I have used with success w/223 in a KRG bravo. If not now, take a look on black friday. Think these and a bunch of their other mags were 40% off and wish I...

    Miss fire.

    Looks like it's pierced too? Very odd.

    Berger elite hunter

    "Better" is subjective and depends on the application. I think understanding the purpose and design intention of each bullet paints the picture. In general, the VLD line is the traditional high BC bullet lineup, the main compromises being they can be more sensitive to seating depth than the...

    Berger elite hunter

    There is no 168 Elite hunter. 168 VLD hunting and Classic Hunter only. A Rem mag should push a 175 elite hunter pretty good and stabilize if you have a 9 twist and also in a 9.5 twist if you've got a little elevation. https://bergerbullets.com/product-category/rifle-bullets/hunting/?caliber=7-mm

    Factory Ammo for .270 Win. with 1:10 barrel Twist

    270 win was spec’d with a 10 twist a century ago. Factory ammo loaded for for it for the last century was designed around this twist rate. There’s as much variance in factory ammo lots and in fast vs slow barrels as there might be from 22” to 26” barrels. in your standard common bullet weights...
