    Hunting & Fishing Experimenting w/ different calibers on deer (Graphic)

    Over the last few weeks I've been experimenting using the same bullet but different calibers. These are southeastern deer - so already pretty small. Most are yearling bucks or does between 60-100lbs. Ranges were pretty close. All bullets are ELDX - .223, 6.5, 308, 300 WSM. All handloads. .223...

    Hunting & Fishing Mechanical broadheads for deer?

    31” draw length 70lb Mathews Traverse. 465gr arrow (including 125gr broadhead) at 280fps I bought some NAP Spitfires but haven’t shot anything with my bow yet. Got it at the end of last deer season so I’d have until August to practice. So far I’m doing pretty well. Just looking at...

    How far could you hit a 19”W x 24”H target with 100% certainty?

I also got a new rifle which has a 20" Krieger barrel. So now I need to do new rifle load development with a new powder. It...

    Looking for a reliable and accurate 6.5 Creedmoor Gas Gun

    I’ve looked at Larue, JP, Noveske, and KAC but unsure what the best way to go is. Larue and Noveske seem overpriced and their wait times are *Stupid*. Lots of good reviews about JP by PRS folks but I’ve never shot one. KAC seems reliable but I’m unsure the accuracy is there. These are all...

    Does Muzzle Brake timing affect accuracy?

    See pic for amount of timing it is off. I can’t find a combination of shims that get it closer, and this is with two packs. Note the pencil marks. Just wondering if this has any appreciable effect on accuracy. For what it’s worth, it is an MPA Switch lug in 6.5 creedmoor.

    SCAR 17 range report

    I feel like I've plastered this all over the internet, but I was told at the range today to register here and post this. I've met a few Hide members, and if the rest of the forum is anything like that bunch I know I'll fit in just fine. Anyway, I finally got my SCAR out after purchasing it on...
