    Turkeys

    It’s always time nowadays. Got one on me hiking on Christmas Eve. Seems the least little bump above freezing and they are active. I despise them.

    308 165gr bullets speed

    Similar to the two posts above I get around 2750 with 165’s out of a 22” Lilja with Varget.

    Long time comin’

    Nice work and always fun and rewarding when a project delivers good results. I’ve always wanted a Model 7 for a handy treestand rifle.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    I shoot Sportsmatch rings direct to the receiver and my buddy has the Unknown Munitions rings. I have removed my scope before and remounted it with no change in zero - merely a sample of one but enough to impress me.

    Im baffled. New cases first reloading

    When you say bullet seating depth is below max, are you talking book max or have you actually measured the distance to the lands on your rifle/chamber? Also, you say unprimed cases chamber just fine. Are you fully seating the primers? Have seen this before.

    Bad Guides and Experiences

    Did a CO 3rd season drop camp hunt for elk in the early 2000’s. Did all the usual legwork vetting the guide, talking to successful and unsuccessful clients. At that age of the internet there wasn’t a whole lot else to go on. Pretty hefty snowstorm came in 2 days before season. We arrive the day...

    How has technology affected hunter sucess

    Sadly in the Southeast it has become a combination of Spincast Corn Feeders + Cellular Trail Cameras that is getting a lot of deer killed that otherwise likely never would have been by those same people.

    Mcarbo trigger spring

    Did one this past summer. Agree with MThuntr, no replacement trigger but did make a noticeable difference. I did no other adjustments besides the spring swap.

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

    Update to my previous post. Local shop said they had just shy of 600 to submit starting Jan 1. They have been working almost around the clock and keeping customers updated very frequently- great customer service. Did my paperwork on 12/30 and got the email late last night that my e-form...

    Tis the Season! (For the annual new cartridge....)

    Holding out until someone produces a $99 blister packed 3.5-25x56 tacticool scope with a 25 RPM specific reticle and enough turrets to make it look like a cactus before I jump in. Cool swag and stickers for my Yeti tumbler and range bag could sway me to jump in sooner!

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

    Spoke to a local shop today and they said they aren’t able to get e-forms through during regular business hours so they’re submitting after hours and having success with them going through. And once they get through, approvals have generally been quick. We’ll see.

    STA BALL 6.5

    I use it in a 6.5 Creedmoor with a Barnes 127gr LRX. Been very happy with accuracy and picked up some velocity over H4350 in my rifle. Shot a 1.25” group with it at 300yds prior to this past season. To be fair, that rifle has shot everything I’ve fed it well, so not much of a test, but nothing...

    Late Season NC Public Land 10 PT With Some Regret

    Gotcha. Makes sense. If you shoot enough deer, things are going to happen. Congrats again. Beautiful buck

    Late Season NC Public Land 10 PT With Some Regret

    If he was facing you straight on and you say the entry was 3” higher on the other side (of the neck), I’m assuming his body was facing you directly but his head was turned? 30-06, or something even larger for that matter, likely wouldn’t have had any different effect. You didn’t hit the neck...

    Tikka 308 18" barrel puzzle

    What scope mounts are you using? Did you degrease everything before mounting the scope? Stuff shoots loose, not tight. I’d start there, put a known/proven scope on it, and as others have stated, try some match grade ammo, or even some basic Federal Blue Box or Hornady American Whitetail in 150...

    Developing Loads for the .25-6.5PRC

    Really nice and well thought out setup. Did you happen to get an actual weight on the stock? Pure Precision quotes 24oz on their site. Considering some changes to a T3X next year myself but part of me doesn’t want to fix what’s not broken 😬
