    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    If you get 3k out of a 180 I hope it’s from a .300 mag. Your ‘06 will give you 3k from a 168 though.

    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    Thats the load. I use 55.0 grains and achieved ~2850 fps in two different rifles with 24” barrels. One a Remington 700 and the other a kimber Montana. Over the years I‘ve had plenty of loads that didn’t live up to book velocity and a few that exceeded it. From experience it’s best to test things...

    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    I get 2850fps from a book load of IMR 4350 and a 180 tsx and a 24” barrel. Never used the superformance with a ‘06 so can’t comment.

    New Kimber 308 Load Suggestions

    I never achieved book velocity with the powders listed here. My best load was a 165 accubond over a book load of RE15 for 2850 fps from a 22” barrel.

    Gas cans suck

    I still live in a country with normal jerry cans so I can’t comment on that problem. However, 99% of the time I use a 3/4” ID jiggler hose to siphon fuel. It’ll drain a 20 liter container in about a minute and I don’t have to hold or do anything. Takes about three flicks of the wrist to start...

    do all 30 06 load

    From my experience you cant go wrong with a 165 accubond or 168 ttsx. With IMR 4064 from a 24” barrel you’ll break 3000 fps easily With either bullet. I shot the accubond for many years and killed many truckloads of elk, moose and deer with it. They often didn’t exit and I would find them around...

    Looking for a custom knife maker recommendation

    I’m fairly partial to Dan Crotts, Bob Dozier and Phil Wilson. The odds of getting a Wilson are pretty much zero and between the other two Dan is the quickest and you know it’s made by him specifically and nobody else. I tried many different designs and scale materials and settled on this...

    Switching from pickup to jeep wrangler

    That cant be answered without knowing how you build your rig and how technical the trail is. Push comes to shove put some airbags in the springs and give ‘em a bump when you load it right down. That JKU in the pic had 1.5” lift springs and in that pic had 35” duratracs as my winter skins. I...

    Switching from pickup to jeep wrangler

    Go back and look at post 36. You can put an elk in the back of a 4 door with the back seats up and people sitting in them. Seats folded down you would get two in there no problem.

    Spear fishing a form of hunting?

    From reading the various replies the only conclusion I’ve come to is this. The majority of disagreement revolves around our individual definition of “fishing“ and “hunting”. Then there’s a tiny fraction of posters simply stirring the pot. Personally I consider fishing to be when I’m trying to...

    Spear fishing a form of hunting?

    Seems some here prefer trolling. Prob the same group that’s never done much in life.

    Spear fishing a form of hunting?

    Funny to hear the keyboard warriors discuss what it is or isn’t. Maybe they/you should get some experience and then decide what it is. Call it literally whatever you want. The actual act is very similar to hunting and bears no resemblance to fishing.

    Spear fishing a form of hunting?

    It’s got more in common with hunting than the peanut gallery here is alluding to. I blue water spear fish and own all the gear. The fish your trying to shoot know when you’re a predator and they know how to stay slightly out of range. The sharks also know you’re there and that you’re either food...

    Any fish pics

    Very nice. That’s on my hit list this winter, drive a couple hours south and smash a few bluefin.
