    Is 22” 280 Remington a Handicap?

    I cut my 24" 280 to 22" when i started shooting suppressed. Lost maybe 40 fps. I run 160 partitions with a stiff load of 7828ssc and a mag primer, extremely accurate and velocity is up there with the ackley dudes. I have 7mm-08s too and really like both, as stated above I think they have a...

    Stockys VG composite for tikka

    Any reviews from folks that are actually running these? For folks that have them, do you consider it a useful upgrade or just money spent replacing tikka stuff that worked out fine to begin with?

    Rangefinding Binos vs Rangefinder

    Since you already have them, I'd say run the fury for a season or two and see what you think. I always struggled with switching from binos to the tiny aperture on range finders, pain in the ass for me. Range finding binos solved a problem, one of the few hunting gadgets I've ever bought that...

    Where are the Reloder powders?

    I'd like to have another pound or two of 4000mr. I might even go so far as to trade some rl26 for it if anyone in NM is watching this

    Nosler Partition vs nosler accubond

    both of those bullets are awesome for both of the species you mentioned. actually, there isn't anything in north america that I wouldn't use a partion or accubond on. both expand fast enough to be destructive on lighter critters such as coues deer and pronghorn, both give all the penetration...

    Tikka Super Lite 7mm-08

    Pharmseller knows his 7-08's. I run a tikka compact (20") with thunderbeast ultra 7. Sta ball 6.5 has been fantastic with 150 gr ballistic tips and partitions.

    Where are the Nosler bullets?

    SPS had 160 gr 7mm accubonds a couple weeks ago, brother and I scored a stash. Saw 160 partitions at sportsmans today.

    7mm-08 all around hunting load

    150 ballistic tip, burn some staball 6.5 under it. last year, antelope at 420, cow elk at 50 feet, perfect both times. My rifle is a 20" tikka with a can, velocity is about 2830 with a bunch of powder and a mag primer. Its hot but everything is still tight on third loading of PPU brass.

    School Me On Tikka

    Guys need to spend money on trivial crap. Someone somewhere suggests in a post that plastic trigger guards and bolt shrouds could conceivably be a liability and everyone is buying titanium replacements, or the twist rate is completely retarded if you want to shoot really long target bullets...

    Cartridge selection for daughter

    You have time, so do yourselves a favor, become suppressor people. The reduction in noise and recoil is huge for new shooters. I started my daughter on a suppressed 6.5 when she was 11 and she had a ball with it. She thinks the unsuppressed 243 her gramma gave her kicks in comparison, I think...

    Which 6.5 Creedmoor Would You Go With?

    Of the rifles you mentioned, I have a bergara hmr that my daughter uses. It's goofy heavy but recoil is a non issue. I have a christensen ridgeline that is awesome now but I had to drop some cash on a competent smith to make it awesome, for the price it should have come awesome from the...
