    Tired of the Pigeons

    air rifle or suppressed 22 with low velocity ammo both just go pop. Of course a 22lr will have enough juice to damage things other than a pigeon so be picky with shots. Obviously a trap is the safest option for a residential area. You could find a falconer group to come make the place...

    Direct thread suppressors and thread compounds

    Shouldn't need to worry about it. When you're done shooting, pop them loose when done IF you feel so inclined a high temp nickel or ceramic grease. A very little bit goes a very long way

    Low Poundage and BH

    I liked the Magnus Stinger line of broadheads. Killed a few deer though at a much faster velocity than a 40lb bow. I'm not sure I'd drop too light in broadhead weight and be sure to check the local laws about cutting diameter. 100+ grains is still probably the lightest I'd go though don't have a...

    NPS going cashless

    They're already being sued over it https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/irate-visitors-sue-national-park-110246811.html I don't carry much cash these days though on those types of trips, I have a tendency to carry more cash for emergencies...bumming a ride into town if my truck breaks down etc. As...

    Cat Recipes?

    Breakfast sausage was the last lion I had. Was pretty good but a bit on the lean side

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    MRC has a history of making expensive rifles with major QC issues. I honestly forgot they even existed. Glad they're letting you put them through the public ringer with intent of improving their products.

    Is brass weight useful?

    Probably isn't that big of a deal for hunting though that big of a spread would bother me for no other reason than I don't like it. You could prime with once-fired primers and measure the internal volume by filling with water and weighing. It may be more consistent that way.

    Free hazmat?

    Primer10 usually works. I had Rem 9-1/2M in my cart and had to take a call and missed them. Their prices seem to be about 10% higher on powder but about 10% lower on primers.

    Peterson, Starline or…?

    There are a ton of variables that contribute to big ES numbers. Who doesn't want perfect numbers but many would argue you're chasing your tail. Be sure to keep your loading process in check. The answer is "it depends"....I prefer Peterson over Starline but have had good luck with Starline in...

    7mm08 119 Absolute hammer

    Personally, I'd go with the 120HH and use Varget or one of it's copies. It's just a more efficient bullet with a more stable powder.

    Will they ever produce RL 26 again?

    Honestly N565-N570, might be the better deal and seem to be available fairly regularly.

    280 AI Barrel Length for Suppressor

    Knowing those are pretty thin barrels I'm not sure how far you'd have to chop for the right thread diameter but your gunsmith will be able to help you with that. I don't know if you'd notice much of a loss by going to 20 or 21 and adding a suppressor. You could be out 100-150fps but possibly...

    hammer hunter any good.

    I bet I've killed a dozen deer, half dozen antelope, 3 or 4 elk, a bear, and a moose with Hammer Hunters. I'm very happy with them. Make sure you pick one that matches your rifling twist. Most of those big 30s are 1:10 so you're looking at a 180gr HH. I bet out of 300 Weatherby they're going to...
