    Hunting & Fishing Early Sagerat hunting

    I started rat season early this year. They've been out for almost two months now here. I won't hunt the hard, I usually wait for that until the babies are out. Here's a near miss form yesterday using my Glock 23 open sights. I haven't even mounted my steel sights yet because this pistol seems...

    Trudeau’s Canada: Canadian Police Advise Leaving Car Keys in Front Door to Deter Break-Ins and Minimize Conflict with Thieves.

    They know what's best. Just think of it like leaving milk and cookies out for Santa.

    .308 Winchester

    I remember asking you on how to reload these cases, but they were out of stock when I went to order. We need a sticky thread or whatever it's called on how to use the hybrid cases.

    .308 Winchester

    I mainly shoot 168 gr varieties in my PSS. I'll keep the barrel on it since it still produces good groups. I just got some Alpha srp brass for my 308 win, 7-08, and 260 AI. I'll most likely concentrate my efforts on the 260 AI for the upcoming year. The coyotes are plentiful, and my focus is on...

    ISO Best AR15 Barrel

    I was considering a 20 Practical and forgot about it until you mentioned a 204. Yeah a 20 cal might be a better option. But for out to only 300 yards a .223/5.56 with a 53 gr vmax will suffice. Any AR that shoots close to 1 moa will do the job out to 300 yards for a coyote.

    .308 Winchester

    My PSS factory barrel has probably over 10k rounds down it's tube. I'd change the barrel but the family gifted it to me when I got out of the Army in 91. I'd rather have a 1-10" twist barrel but my barrel still shoot good. And there a bit of sentimental value there.

    .308 Winchester

    I opted for a 260 AI rather than the 6.5 CM. I'm old so I'm biased against it lol. It's a fine round I just tired of the ignorant claims around it. Plus I have a ton of 308 win brass so in a pinch I can neck them down to 260 rem or 7-08.

    .308 Winchester

    Nice rig............. but a 6.5 CM is much more efficient. I'll let myself out.

    ISO Best AR15 Barrel

    I kinda agree. You could just build a new upper and possible upgrade the trigger. Shoots 700's also asks a good question. A good trigger and good optics can go a long way in making am AR shoot decent. Mind you the kill zone on a yote is roughly 6" circle. So a rifle that shoots around a moa will...

    ISO Best AR15 Barrel

    I've actually had good luck with three different Colt barrels. Do you have a 1-9" or 1-7" Colt M4 barrel? But for the best accuracy any of the above mentioned barrels that aren't chrome line would be your best bet.

    ELD-X vs ELD-M

    So again the added taper requires more steps to the manufacturing process. The last manufacturer I worked at even started using EDM to speed up the manufacturing of dies. Then each die has to be hand polished and tested. Then the jackets and cores need to be QC'ed at each step. It all adds to...

    Yup that's why I posted the link.

    ELD-X vs ELD-M

    Just google 6.5 143gr ELDX cross section and you'll get a bunch of photos. Nosler Ballistic Tips is an even greater example of drawing tapered copper jackets. https://panhandleprecision.com/hornady-143-grain-eld-x-review-hunting-performance-test/

    ELD-X vs ELD-M

    With that said I sell 6.5 CM 143gr ELDX ammo all the time to my local hunters. One hunter took a huge ram, big buck, and a nice cow elk this year while hunting. I've seen a few decent bulls fall to that round too. I haven't got to hunt with ELDM's on big game yet but that's what I'll use in my...

    ELD-X vs ELD-M

    The taper in the jacket requires more steps in the manufacturing process. More dies to be made to draw the tapered jacket. Add the interlocking rings again adds a step. That adds to the cost. There's more copper jacket material too, but the labor and added perception of a "hunting bullet" is...
