    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Interesting analysis, I’ve been struggling with optic selection for this platform. I borrowed a buddy’s noveske 18” 6 arc with razor 1-6 to proof the concept for myself. While it worked, for hits to mid range, it wasn’t ideal for my purpose as a hunting optic, definitely less scalpel vs minute...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Same as above, if around the 30oz mark, it would be a great crossover optic for my hunting rig.

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and your patience. I’ll search around more before I get into it. I’ve converted cases before and now have access to some high end equipment to make the job way easier and faster. No more neck turning with a hand held cutter and a dewalt, thank...

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Are you using quickload or standard work up practices when determining your upper limit? Also, what speeds were you seeing, specifically in 308, with 175-185 class bullets and are they mag fed? I just snagged a couple hundred of the hybrid cases to experiment with. My goal is to see if I can...

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    I vote for you to start a dedicated thread here. Super cool stuff. Your 250gr data is only 125fps slower than a 300 WSM 28” a buddy was trying to sell me. Thought it was cool, just not what I want to do with that case. I’m curious what round counts you have on the rifles you’re shooting the...

    I want to shoot rock chucks

    For the “out west” stuff try some googling for ranches offering P dog hunting. Probably will be some camping involved, but modest prices compared to larger game. I shot the Nightforce ELR match in ‘19. Stormed pretty good the Sunday night after the match. We got the RV stuck in the gumbo...

    Sled for Squirrel Zero?

    Squirrels will hear you coming from a mile away. The silent, snipery, tactical method of movement would be a tactical stroller. Put your rifle, ammo, sled, extra killin stuff in there and push with ease.

    What caliber is it???

    If you didn’t want to do it yourself, pretty much any smith would do that for not a lot of money

    who likes the 300 wsm ?

    A buddy of mine built a WSM on a LA throated for the 245’s. His speeds aren’t all that fast but he’s done some impressive ELR stuff with it.

    who likes the 300 wsm ?

    Same with Tikka’s

    who likes the 300 wsm ?

    300 WSM rocks! I agree with it falls between the ‘06 and win mag. Personally I think it shines in the 180-200 gr weight class I have 2, one with a 24” and another with a 20”. Haven’t shot the 20” much, 50 rounds or so, but so far I’m getting 2775 out of a 200 eldx with h1000. Might get more...

    Who had Alaska volcano in February???

    Would Greta be an antacid or beer bonging a bottle of jager…?

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    😂 Too bad all the smoke jumpers are dudes and not Amazonian ripped chicks. I’d set fires twice a week for that.

    Not yet, right now it would be

    Who had Alaska volcano in February???

    https://avo.alaska.edu/volcano/spurr @sirhrmechanic So, while I meant my comment to be more sarcastically humorous and a touch informational, this one might actually pop. It’s on schedule with previous recorded eruptions. It’s the closest volcano to Anchorage, about 80 miles west. I was in...

    Sounds like a cheap solution..

    Hey man, leave us alone up here. Just cuz you live in a miniature state doesn’t give you the right to offer ours up. Besides, Polar bears would eat the mules, and people, anyways. We’d have to shoot the bears, we like the bears up here. They’re endangered or something.

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    Agree 100%. After every hunt I do a pack dump, everything that doesn’t contribute to my survival or help make the kill or take care of the animal, gets omitted forever. I’m pretty streamlined now. First thing to go for me was extra clothes, except socks, carry 4 pairs of those. Deorderant-gone...

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    Thats pretty good for overall pack weight, nice work. I’d pretty much decided on the 14L for my purposes, until i saw the tfcx13. That height works for me (only 5’8). Shave .5 lbs off, I’m sure if it’s on the soar side of the rrs site, it has a load limit capable of a sub 10 lb rifle. Though...

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    Yeah, nothing beats RRS for quality and stability. I’m certainly no expert but have done a few backpack sheep/Sitka blacktail deer hunts. The extra 3.5# sucks to carry, I’ve compensated by going ultralight where I can and cutting comfort items out of the pack. Whoever I’m hunting with, we...
