    Where is the Best spot to shoot a brown bear on there body ?

    My personal preference is to put a heavy monolithic through the front shoulders to anchor them, you're not exactly worried about meat loss. That said, when hit they're much more likely to look at the spot they've been hit for something to attack than they are to look in the distance (i.e. at...

    Reloader 16 temp stability

    5 shots at each temp is too few to make that calculation. Keep recording temp and velocity each time you go out shooting and by 100 rounds or so you should be able to fit a better line to the data and pull the slope off the line to get your fps/degree

    Silver Fox (Black or Melanistic Red Fox)...Ever seen one?

    Based purely off of observations they make up about 25% of the fox we get in my area. Don't know if it's because of historical fox farming or if the conditions favor the darker color morphs

    Nowhere Else to Go(at)

    Announcing the New Hammer HHT

    Just to clarify, you're advocating for giving the government the authority to forcibly remove American citizens it deems undesirable? I can't see that ever becoming problematic... Seems a lot easier to just be a good neighbor and show new folk the benefits of guns/hunting

    What to do in Fairbanks AK?

    There's excellent grayling fishing all the way out to Chena Hot Springs if you're headed that way. Any of the water access points for the Chena river will put you in dry fly heaven for grayling. You could also soak bait for burbot but that usually requires an overnight. There's an excellent...

    A little fun thread: same bullet different ammunition maker

    I'm inclined to think it's much more about scale/scope of business than about location/taxes considering Nammo Group (Berger/Lapua) is headquartered in Norway which has considerably higher taxes and fuel/labor costs
