    139gr CX loads for 7mm-08?

    So far no, but my scope is on its last leg so I'll pick up the accuracy testing once I have a better optic mounted.

    Hammer Bullets - what makes them so great?

    Just logging another super clean kill with the HH (this time with the 120gr out of my 7mm-08). MV ~3025fps and a 60 yard shot. Probably my best shot placement on a deer -- entered and exited just behind the legs. The HH made soup of the lungs and he went all of 30 yards before dropping. 👍

    A small wool blanket comes in real handy for keeping your legs warm and dry while glassing too!

    Increasing Warmth of Sleeping Bag

    +1 for a warmer pad if you haven't already maxed that out. Thermarest xtherm or the new Nemo extreme conditions tensor will make a MASSIVE difference in how warm you sleep. +1 for a bottle of hot water in the foot of the bag But to answer the main question: I've found draping down layers...

    Why & what do you handload?

    Heat source options for tent camping.

    I didn't know these existed. They look awesome. I have a pellet stove as my primary heat at home; never thought a backcountry option would be viable but I might have get one of these one day...

    7mm Backcountry anyone?

    Fair enough - I was playing too fast and loose between momentum and total kinetic energy.

    7mm Backcountry anyone?

    The total momentum transferred to the rifle will always be equal* to the momentum of the bullet as it leaves the muzzle plus the total momentum of the gas and unburnt powder leaving the muzzle. The momentum of the bullet is easy to find - weight of the bullet times velocity. The momentum of the...

    Round In The Chamber

    95% of the "disagreement" on this topic is explained by the difference between what people mean by "carry while hunting" rather than the difference between a round or no round in the chamber. For my part, I might have a round chamber if I am carrying in a "ready" position with both hands on...

    Blending powders

    Nothin' wrong with blending as long as my face isn't close to it and I wouldn't be heartbroken to blow up the rifle.
