    New arrow setup

    I’m really glad these responses haven’t broken down to an RF pro/con debate. I also fall into the FOC isn’t as important as some folks make it out to be camp. Your setup is very appropriate for deer. Many a deer have fallen to less powerful setups than what you have. From this point and up in...

    What's your favorite caliber?

    .308 out of an X-Bolt Speed for me. For factory ammo my rifle seems to like the Federal Atypical soft points most of all.

    What kind of accuracy do you shoot for with hunting ammo?

    I don’t disagree entirely with this. Like I said definitely want to decrease effects of variables you can control. BUT!!- if you’re good enough to harness sub-MOA systems you damn well be good enough to account for even some of that 10MPH wind. And if you’re not then I hope you know your limits...

    Looking for advice on rifle inaccuracy

    There’s definitely a better way to express this opinion. OP—Take the entire system down. Use a torque wrench and get everything tight to specs and loctite where required to put it all back together. If it’s still an issue do same with some different glass if available. Key is to trouble shoot...

    What kind of accuracy do you shoot for with hunting ammo?

    Yes! Took a while to get to this. Remember when you’re out there practicing that bullet will behave differently out of a cold barrel. In defense of the folks saying they are looking for sub-MOA accuracy in development. That’s fine. That’s not a claim that they expect a sub MOA performance from...

    Do you shoot right or left fletch?

    The only way I can imagine the string twist affecting arrow rotation is the instant the nock is coming off the string and it adds a twist to the flight. No idea though. I don’t think it makes any difference what the arrows natural tendency is long as you’re adding a good stabilizing rotation to...

    Arrows Vanes!!

    Update - don’t love the Silent Knight 3”- not very durable at all. Arrow is slower than same arrow with a 4 fletch AAE hybrid vane. Going to try Stealths next. Might chrono

    Arrows Vanes!!

    Really depends on what you're trying to drive- Fixed v. Mechanical...arrow weights I recently tried AAE hybrids and Max Stealth. Found the Max Stealth to be marginally better shooting in a 4 fletch config on FMJs. Also giving Silent Knights a go this week in a 3 fletch on a lighter arrow.

    At what point does reloading payoff?

    I'm the same way. To the OPs question though. You can get everything you need to load for 1000 bucks roughly. Depending on the ammo you're making the margin I'd say is 20% on average. Common pistol rounds were almost never worth it. I never reloaded 9mm (but glad I kept the brass now)...
