    Most Underrated or Undervalued Truck/SUV?

    I had a 2001 GMC Yukon for 12 years that had 265k on it when I sold it and I still see the new owners driving it around. I think the GM truck platform from the early 2000's with the 5.3 liter is every bit as reliable as a Toyota. I have a 2022 Tundra now so I am not bashing on Toyota in any way...

    Howa Superlite

    This new rifle from Howa might be pretty cool. 4.7 lbs. Has anyone had any first hand experience with one? Or handled one? Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    180 Grain ELD-M Terminal Performance Under 300 yds. 28 Nosler

    I think it would be fine based on other bullets I have shot game with. I do t have any first hand experience with this exact scenario, but the 180 7mm eldm is a really long and heavy for caliber bullet. It should work fine even though it may be a little devastating it have enough length to...

    180 Grain ELD-M Terminal Performance Under 300 yds. 28 Nosler

    If you are only going to shoot "up to 600 yards" the 28 Nosler is fast enough that having the highest possible BC is not a big concern. Any bullet with a BC of .550 and above will still deliver a flat trajectory at that range. I would look at bullets that would perform well with almost any...

    30-06 Load Recommendations/Q's

    My load for years out of a pre64 Model 70 with a 24 inch barrel was 57 grains of H4350 with a 180 grain partition or accubond bullet and lake city match brass. It chronographs at 2860 fps. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    I've Developed A Flinch, Now What?

    I developed a flinch shooting a bunch of heavy 45-70 loads out of a Marlin lever action. A guy at the range had a 600 nitro. I shot it once and then went back to shooting the 45-70 and it felt like it hardly recoiled and my flinch went away. If I shot the 600 nitro a second time I am sure I...

    Titanium Action...Lone Peak, Mesa Crux, or skip the Titanium?

    They make them in both options, a steel bolt, or for a little extra a Ti bolt. On a lightweight hunting rifle I use talley rings. The last rifle I built I put a VX-6Hd 6-18 scope on it and it has plenty of elevation to go well past 1000 yards without any cant, plus I hate looking through...

    Titanium Action...Lone Peak, Mesa Crux, or skip the Titanium?

    I have built a few rifles using Pierce Ti Actions. I like them on a hunting rifle because they don't have just a port for ejection and loading, they are fully open on the top which I like better for a hunting rifle.

    Ear Protection while Rifle Hunting

    I have been hunting with a suppressor for a year now. It is great. Suppressors reduce the noise by about 20 to 25 dB on a supersonic magnum cartridge. Ear plugs are rated at about 20 to 25 dB, so they are about the same.

    Expansion velocity for 212 ELDX

    I guess the 30-30 is a 200 yard elk rifle. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Expansion velocity for 212 ELDX

    I really don't think there is one answer to this too many variables. I like to use 2000 fps as a minimum, it is better to be on the safe side when shooting at game. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
