    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I definitely didn't say that it was your approach. I understand the logic as well, and not so long ago I subscribed to it. I meant that reply as a response to that line of reasoning, not a rebuttal to you personally. My apologies if it came off that way.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    What if the takeaway is that the smallest cartridge that delivers a good bullet to your max intended range above velocity needed for upset gives you the best chance to spot your impact, recover quickly, and put another round or two or three on target when the best plan goes to hell in the real...

    Projectile Choice: Lighter/Faster or Heavier/Slower

    Bike racer Eddy Merckx was asked whether it was better to spin a small gear fast or mash a big gear slow, and his answer was that he liked to spin a big gear fast.

    Odd speed increase?

    I do use one shot, but I clean with isopropyl alcohol after sizing.

    AR triggers

    I've wondered whether the s7 tool steel that LaRue talks about makes a real difference, sounds like yes?

    AR triggers

    I've never even seen that one. Interesting. Have you used the LaRue?

    AR triggers

    Thanks for your input! Your account of these different triggers definitely tracks well with where my thoughts are on them. I appreciate you taking the time!

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    It is startling for sure. I've got a post in the kids rifle manifesto thread with video of my 14y/o shooting .223, 6ARC and 243AI and the difference between all three is substantial.

    Odd speed increase?

    Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it! I'm happy with the speeds I'm getting, and hoping it stabilizes even if that means backing off a little further.

    Odd speed increase?

    This is super helpful, thank you for taking the time! I'm shooting 106 TAP's (108 ELDM'S early on ran about 20FPS slower at each charge and I have not continued with them since I bought a bunch of the 106's). Barrel was cut to 19". I do care about barrel life (though obviously not enough to...

    Odd speed increase?

    I've seen that too; I lucked into a bunch of 1x-2x fired Lapua .243AI brass, and it was borderline too tight in my chamber already so I was hopeful that wouldn't be the case here.

    Odd speed increase?

    Got something here that I haven't seen to this extent before (though I've loaded all my other guns closer to well established loads/lengths/milder pressures)... New .243AI barrel (factory Tikka, rechambered by Kampfeld), first 10 rounds 48.5 to 52.5 H1000, getting moderately crunchy/compressed...

    AR triggers

    So I know this has been beat to death all over the Internet, but why not one more thread? .223 on big game has been talked about all over the Internet too, but lots of bad info based on feels or wrong assumptions. I'm planning on putting new triggers in a couple of AR's, and right now about 90%...

    Cold Bore Shots, POI Shifts, and Canted Scopes

    Good info. Factory installed screws are always suspect for me, usually oiled and rarely loctited so they are prone to backing out. Strike Eagle is not exactly confidence inspiring, if you have intermittent unexplained zero issues, that would be my prime suspect. 300 PRC doesn't take that many...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    I've use a bunch, but this Bill Moran/Spyderco is the one I always come back to for general big game use. I've had it for probably 15 years now. Blade shape works well for field dressing, skinning, quartering etc. Not made in China (Japan) Good tek lok Kydex sheath Light enough Good steel...

    Cold Bore Shots, POI Shifts, and Canted Scopes

    Gotcha, I read your post as having gone straight to distance. If I were in your shoes, I'd go back to the beginning to confirm foundational stuff before trying to straighten out the stuff that's built on it. 1) What scope are you using? 2MOA shift that settles back to old zero after a couple...

    Did you confirm 100 yard zero?
