    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Have Jake and Ryan host at UM world headquarters, call it the Full-Assed Quiche Academy (FAQ-U) and give away half priced cerakote to all participants and a Rokstock to the winner.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Obviously we’re all people of taste and distinction, so our preference would be to use a homemade pie crust*. Butter or shortening? I prefer the browning I get with butter, but find cold shortening easier to deal with, which in turn reduces the risk of pie plates flying across the kitchen. For...

    7mm SAW Questions

    There are reported issues of some people having hangfires with SRP at very low temperatures. Just something to be aware of, if I take mine elk hunting I’ll probably switch to the LRP brass I’ve got laying around, but for target work it’s been fine.

    7mm SAW Questions

    https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/the-small-rifle-vs-large-rifle-primer-debate/329988 This article talks about the perceived benefits, I use SRP brass in my 6.5CM because I’ve got over 5K of them and they’re easier to find than LRP.

    Still requires a stationary target (GPS) or clear line of sight to laze. I’m sticking with mortars.

    Eventually the elk are going to get fed up with getting shot in the ass by jokers chasing antlers, at which point they’ll start cruising the mountains in heavily modified Komatsu D355As. At that point, the A-10 will be our only hope.

    I dunno, the Abrams is still largely targeting a point target, which increases the likelihood of a miss. I think you’re better served with a well trained 120mm mortar crew, so you can just blanket the entire hillside.

    Maybe, but you shouldn’t need artificially inflated numbers to make your point. Actually, just ran the numbers (using actual velocity figures, not inflated for rhetorical effect) with the Hornady calculator. 77TMK @ 400 yards has a wind drive of 0.9 mils (12.6 inches of drift). The 140 AB @...

    Not sure where you got 2600 vs 3000 fps, but Black Hills factory 77 TMK lists 2750 fps. Factory Nosler 140 AB in 6.5 PRC is listed at 2900 fps. https://www.black-hills.com/shop/new-rifle-ammo/5-56mm/ https://www.nosler.com/6-5-prc-140gr-accubond-trophy-grade-ammunition.html

    2011's stacattos and others

    https://staccato2011.com/dealer-locator Looks like the Portland area is the place to go if you're looking for a Staccato, depending on what part of the state you're in it might be closer to drive to Boise, Richland, or Yakima.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    The podcast was already recorded, but Jake asked about standard cases and the folks from ADG said that all of their equipment was set up for magnum, which is why those are the only cases they produce. They hinted that standard cases could be coming in the future, but I would imagine 223 is way...

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    They didn’t mention it (or if they did I missed it) but he went 0/5 with the Savage and then the next round he borrowed the suppressed Tikka and went 5/5 and used that for the rest of the course of fire.

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    Once again the interviews were enlightening. After going 40% from prone with no wind, 2 of the 3 said they were still comfortable out to 600 “in perfect conditions.” Jake did the best of the three (most hits AND brought a gun that survived the whole test) and said his max was 250-300 because he...
