Thats the load. I use 55.0 grains and achieved ~2850 fps in two different rifles with 24” barrels. One a Remington 700 and the other a kimber Montana.
Over the years I‘ve had plenty of loads that didn’t live up to book velocity and a few that exceeded it. From experience it’s best to test things...
I still live in a country with normal jerry cans so I can’t comment on that problem. However, 99% of the time I use a 3/4” ID jiggler hose to siphon fuel. It’ll drain a 20 liter container in about a minute and I don’t have to hold or do anything. Takes about three flicks of the wrist to start...
From my experience you cant go wrong with a 165 accubond or 168 ttsx. With IMR 4064 from a 24” barrel you’ll break 3000 fps easily With either bullet.
I shot the accubond for many years and killed many truckloads of elk, moose and deer with it. They often didn’t exit and I would find them around...
I’m fairly partial to Dan Crotts, Bob Dozier and Phil Wilson. The odds of getting a Wilson are pretty much zero and between the other two Dan is the quickest and you know it’s made by him specifically and nobody else.
I tried many different designs and scale materials and settled on this...
That cant be answered without knowing how you build your rig and how technical the trail is. Push comes to shove put some airbags in the springs and give ‘em a bump when you load it right down.
That JKU in the pic had 1.5” lift springs and in that pic had 35” duratracs as my winter skins. I...
Go back and look at post 36. You can put an elk in the back of a 4 door with the back seats up and people sitting in them. Seats folded down you would get two in there no problem.
From reading the various replies the only conclusion I’ve come to is this. The majority of disagreement revolves around our individual definition of “fishing“ and “hunting”. Then there’s a tiny fraction of posters simply stirring the pot.
Personally I consider fishing to be when I’m trying to...
Funny to hear the keyboard warriors discuss what it is or isn’t. Maybe they/you should get some experience and then decide what it is.
Call it literally whatever you want. The actual act is very similar to hunting and bears no resemblance to fishing.
It’s got more in common with hunting than the peanut gallery here is alluding to. I blue water spear fish and own all the gear. The fish your trying to shoot know when you’re a predator and they know how to stay slightly out of range. The sharks also know you’re there and that you’re either food...
Again, I can’t answer all those questions as I’m not a battery geek.
I have some of the high drain and some of the protected cells but it’s hard to read a few of these. I also have another in a flashlight somewhere but the kids have been using it and it’s currently MIA. They’re all button top...
I would confidently assume that’s a marketing gimmick but I haven’t looked into it. If all the reputable brands are stuck around 3500 mah that’s probably the max you can get in a 18650.
I‘m still using my 3500 mAh orbtronics that must be 10 year old by now. I haven’t noticed any loss of...
Orbtronic sells one of, if not THE best batteries on the market. I’ve been using the same ones in my torches and head lamps for close to ten years.

In the absence of experience, that’s the weird thing about assumptions. They’re often wrong.
That kimber is easier on the shoulder then the browning Abolt 2 in .338 win it replaced and softer recoiling then the tikka m695 in .300 win mag that I owned previously. I had a Husky in .308 win that...
Some of us learned to stockpile the first time we saw shortages. I could go the rest of my life on the components I already own and I expect another 50 years before I die. Maybe next time components are readily available you guys will do the right thing.
How does anyone run out of anything a...
