    Tick Season!

    So, as said above, permethrin kills them, it does nothing to repel them. In studies it takes up to an hour to kill all the ticks in a group. That's not quick enough to keep them all from biting you if it's that bad, they'll still die but you got bit. Combine with either DEET or Picardin. I...

    Tick Season!

    It is, as it's what's used in shampoos and such for lice and other things. But they're assuming you're not going to be using that every day forever. A good amount of people do get a mild rash from the shampoo/wet insect replant. The amount absorbed into the skin goes to basically 0 if you let...

    Alliant cease production of canister powder

    The vihtavuori double base powders are a pretty good replacement for the Alliant double base stuff. N550 is just about there with RL17 and N560 is awfully close to RL26.

    Tick Season!

    And instead get a tick borne disease? You might want to look into those diseases. There's a lot of things the wackadoodle greenies think aren't safe that are a lot more safe than the "natural" alternative is. Everything is toxic. Literally everything. Water. It's the dose that makes it so...

    Tick Season!

    You're completely incorrect. Lyme, Alpha Gal, Rocky mountain spotted. All terrible. Permethrin is extremely safe if used per the label.

    Need advice on caliber for Moose and bear in Alaska.

    Not really. If you read the thread people that live up here have spoken multiple times not only does almost no one hunt with those but it's not readily available.

    Rok Stock

    The echolon stocks have some negative comb, but not as much. Tikka and rem700.

    short vs long mag

    Short action mags run on medium or long actions gets about the most performance you're going to get out of something, but you're full custom to get there. Except for tikka, you can just do a barrel on those. A 7WSM with something like the 190 EOL seated out to over 3.00, out of a long or medium...

    Rok Stock

    Negative comb reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. The rokstock is probably the most aggressive I've seen, but there's only a few stocks out there with negative comb and it should be almost all of them for bolt guns. There is massive value for any hunter in doing everything you can to be able...

    Caliber combination for prairie dog hunting?

    Not normally, but you mentioned a slower twist. The only reason to do that is if something is coming apart. If the 55's shoot fine, run the 8 twist, or even get a 7 to shoot the heavy 22's.

    Caliber combination for prairie dog hunting?

    That'd be cheaper for sure, but do you have issues with the 55gr vmax coming apart in your 1-8? Have you tried the new 62gr ELD-VT? 77gr TMK would be fine to.

    What is it with dweebs on YouTube?

    Ya, that's bad. He had a one shot challenge going, that I liked because that's more of a hunting scenario that what your groups are.

    Need advice on caliber for Moose and bear in Alaska.

    No but I promise everyone would prefer you bring a suppressor.
