    .308 Speed Question

    The TTSX’s need velocity to expand. A few years ago I emailed Barnes with some questions. In the discussion the tech I was getting my information from said that some of their bullets will expand well at 1800fps but would rather I used 2000fps as the minimum expansion velocity. That being said...

    Tyto and 3rd party blades

    I’ve really gotten to like the havalon 70A blades. They have a round tip without a sharp point. Excellent for skinning...excellent for cutting near the bloating belly of a dead caribou. You can roll the knife over on its back and unzip the skin off a leg....or run it down the centerline of a...

    Reloading question. brass issue.

    Those dents do look like the classic dents caused by excessive lubricant on the case or in the resizing die. They are safe to fire and the dent will fire form out. However, you mention that you suspect that it was caused during firing. Do you have some pictures of the cases after foreign and...

    What’s your favorite all around Pants?

    I do like my First Lite Corrugate Guide Pants. They fit well..have nice features. Stretch and move well when climbing over things. They also look good enough to wear around town....and not look like your wearing hunting pants.

    308 copper bullet experience (or other moderate speed cartridges)

    I've developed a load for my Kimber Mountain Ascent 308 with the 150gr TTSX bullets. Pushing them out at an average velocity of 2950fps. They land in a group at just under two inches at 200 yards. 3 round groups and 5 rounds groups are all very consistent. I haven't shot any game with these...

    Alaska-Specific Rescue Evac Medical Insurance

    I’m so glad to see people pondering and considering this issue. Search and rescue in Alaska is usually coordinated by the State Troopers with the Coast Guard and Air National Guard. They will often get you out...and to the closest emergency room. Alaska has three medevac companies. LifeMed...

    Why tyto?

    I bought a Tyto early this spring. I wrapped the handle myself. I also carry a couple of blunt tipped blades with the regular blades. I shot a spring bear and used the Tyto on him. The blunt tipped blades worked great for most of the bulk skinning and quartering. No holes in the hide. I...

    I have one. It’s nice and light. It is picky about ammo when it comes to accuracy.....but it shoots blazer pretty straight. The trigger is pretty crude, but it gets the job done. It’s a single shot rifle so you have to make every shot count. I carry this little rifle with a box of blazer pretty...

    Just before Christmas I picked up a Kimber Mountain Ascent in 308 win. I know...no a novel cartridge, but a proven effective cartridge. I topped it with a Vortex Razor HD LH 3-15x42. 6lbs 1 7/8oz empty. 7lbs 3oz with scope covers, sling and 12 rounds of ammo. (4 rounds in the rifle, 8 rounds...

    Montana Rifle Co X2 Extreme

    I have one in 338 Win Mag. I ordered mine built with a 20" barrel because I live in Southeast Alaska and have to deal with a lot of brush. My honest opinion of this rifle is mixed....which is kind of funny. Fit and finish is what you would expect for a stainless over synthetic rifle. The...
