    Lead free bullets and steel

    How does the steel react on impact? Wondering if the energy is being transferred differently to the steel by the monolithic bullets than the lead core bullets.

    What tires are you running?

    I love my Cooper Discoverer ATW's. Hands down best tires I have used in snow. Good ride and relatively quiet for an AT tire on the highway. I am running 235/85-16's on a Tacoma double cab.

    Case pressure vs barrel twist

    Sounds like a nice build and absolutely understand the question being asked in that context. Curious to see what your results with working up a load are when you get it done. Good luck and have fun!

    Case pressure vs barrel twist

    I have to ask - what setup are you using where you would want to change only twist rate? Usually twist rate is changed so you can get a lighter or heavier bullet to stabilize and it sounds like you want to keep the same bullet.

    Case pressure vs barrel twist

    I won't claim to be a physics whiz here but I think the force we are talking about changing is rotational inertia rather than friction. I can absolutely see that the force required to accelerate the same mass bullet to rotate slightly faster could be higher and result in higher pressure. I...

    Case pressure vs barrel twist

    Well, given that I assume you'll be using a new barrel to get this different twist rate you should work up an entirely new load for it. Chamber and throat differences would account for more pressure changes between the two barrels than twist rate by a long shot I would assume.

    Case pressure vs barrel twist

    Interesting question. What makes you think a twist change would change pressure? My gut says it would have little to no effect.

    Converting 308 to 6.5

    You don't need a long action for 284 win based cartridges. You only need a long action if you want to seat long and feed from the magazine. Seating long let's you run high BC bullets and not loose case capacity or run compressed loads.

    Forum Migration

    I ditched Tapatalk long ago for a lot of reasons. The mobile experience a TON better after some poking around. Thanks for making the update, I am sure it's a ton of work.

    CWD and eating venison

    Bummer. I've killed 20 or so deer in heart of WI CWD zone and had every single one tested. We've had two positives and received results back on all that were tested. Overall I am disappointed at the lack of testing for CWD. As hunters we are the biggest potential source of data on this disease...

    Did you get any of the deer you harvested tested for CWD?

    Down bag users how do you keep your bag dry?

    I was really happy with the performance of my Montbell Breeze sleeping bag cover. Never had condensation on the inside. Slept out in it at 10,000 feet in below freezing and kept me warm too. Sleeping Bag Covers & Liners | Sleeping Bags | Montbell America

    Factory Ammo Recommendations for .308 Fieldcraft / Chambering Issues

    Ditto. Were you seeing and marks on the bullets from jamming them into the throat? Do you have one of the bullet comparators by Hornady (or similar) that measures from ogive of bullet? Better way to measure accurately and consistently.

    Factory Ammo Recommendations for .308 Fieldcraft / Chambering Issues

    Exactly what tim.gruber said. I wouldn't pull the trigger on live ammo until I checked headspace with go/no-go gauges. If it won't chamber new factory brass from Nosler or Lapua thats an immediate red flag to me. Can you elaborate on your comment about the Nosler being tight no matter how...

    Who's from WI, where at?

    We had a good time in the 16th. Hopefully we can get the group together again soon. There was talk of doing an archery shoot.

    Wisc Elk Hunt 2018

    The DNR Biologist is predicting a 100% harvest rate. Sounds like a good population of healthy bulls with one that they said is 18 years old.
