    Wide sole, flat heel ??

    Looking for a boot with a wide sole and fairly flat heel/minimalist style. I hike in vibrams and minimalist shoes and am starting to really dislike how bound my toes get in my mountain boots (hanwag AK gtxs) . I find I'm wanting to spread my toes more and walk more on a forefoot/ball vs the...

    Carbon Fiber Stock

    I went with an MPI microlite carbon fiber and am quite happy with it. Have hunted it 3 seasons now and is holding up great.

    Tires

    I just wore out a set of K02's on my 17 Tacoma, in my experience they were prone to flats and were average to below average in snow (cat hunting), however they lasted a long time (85000km) with lots of abuse. I had a set of Cooper St Maxx's on my f150 for a season and loved them but sold the...

    Absolute Hammer 3150fps from .308 win. I think?

    Thats insane man. l have never heard of them or seen them around my neck of the woods. With those #'s a guy could load some of those 150's up in a RUM and have a MPBR of like 500 yds, just aim and squeeze on everything.

    Absolute Hammer 3150fps from .308 win. I think?

    Those primers all look cratered a la over pressure. Are you opening the bolt on that pipe bomb with a 2x4? Am i missing something. I shoot a 20" 308 and push 180's @ 2600. I have literally no clue how you are squeezing an additional 500 FPS out of a 150. Like physically, i would not think the...

    .308 178 ELD-X on WV black bear?

    I killed a very respectable color phase black bear, Squared at 6'3 with a .308 M77 compact and Hornady 178 eldx handloads doing 2580fps. Dropped dead as a rock at 430yds. I even have it on film , if youre interested ill send you the video link. Mike.

    Black bear shot placement

    On a broadside, aim for the opposite shoulder. Visualize a laser beam exiting his far shoulder and you will do great. Also, a TBT is a great bullet. But it wouldnt be in my top 5 for your setup. your 308 isnt pushing a TBT hot enough to have it open/perform properly assuming a normal 308 MV...

    Taxidermy cost on a full body mtn lion

    Phile Soucy has a list on his page, I think his full mounts start at $5400 before any habitat which is usually 50% of the price of the mount again. The work is beautiful. I am in the same stages as you, got a cat 2 weeks ago, now just humming and hawing on which way to go. Good luck!!

    Custom 3006?

    My 06 puts the same sized hole in my steel plate at 700 yds as my 300wby and 300rum do. Cant go wrong with the ol war horse!

    Looks like Weatherby has another 6.5

    I wish them good luck with it, like guys have said above, more options the better IMO, its a great time to be a LR hunter/shooter. Theres also something to be said supporting an american company where you can DM the president/owner (Adam) on Instagram and he will personally message you back (...

    One bullet, one rifle

    Ive shot game with both. In my experience, the partition is the "cleaner" of the two bullets, a lot less dramatic/meat damage when put on the shoulder. If I had to pick a hunting bullet for meat hunting, I would pick the ol partition.

    Weatherby Rifles Pos and Neg/ Savage Rifles Pos and Neg

    Owning both ( and just my own experience) I would say the above is spot on, but would add, the Mkv is a bit of a porker ( and mine has a glass stock). I still hunt with it lots, I just notice it on the shoulder considerably more. You can spend a bit more and get the ultra light, but then you...

    kilo abs 2400 dope/calibrate

    I have had really good luck with mine just using the G7 for BC, MV, Bullet length, twist, sight height. I have even gotten lazy and just used the velocities off the back of an ammo box ( nosler trophy 300WBY) and still been able to ring the plates at 800 off a stump.
