I’ve had the 458S for about 10 years I guess. Lots of good information offered here but the best piece is to go with Tromix if he goes with the 458. RRA would be a safe bet if he finds a good deal on one but there were some chamber issues with RRA maybe 7-8 years ago. Worn reamers as I recall...

Could you see any wound marks from the picture of him after? There is a no man’s land if hit higher than expected which is super common with bow but even a with a crossbow. At these speeds the deer can and do react to the shot. Dropping or jumping the string is an almost certainly. If you see...

POF is worth a look for sure. I’ve go the Revolution piston and have had no issues what so ever. Smaller than AR10 platform but 308 power.

With all do respect, there are two mistakes in this statement. The port pressure for a carbine length gas system is around 33K PSI not 61K. Longer gas systems are less. The pistol gas system is around 50K. If you have 60K at the port, you are going be WAY over 60K at the chamber. The POF P415...

Valid point! I run both as well. Disappear into the man cave and find solitude.

Another 550 fan. I load pistol and rifle on the same press at plenty of volume for my needs. If you only plan on a couple calibers, you may want to go with the 750 but as stated, you only gain the auto index. If you’re going to load lots of calibers, the 550 conversions are a quite a bit cheaper.

There are no hard fast rules in nature but from what I’ve always been told is there are too many does in the area when you are still seeing rutting behavior past a normal rutting period for your area. The bucks can’t breed all does in time. This can run them so hard they can’t recover body mass...

I have the LW in 6.5CM as well. Action screw tuning along with heavier than normal check pressure got mine behaving. The LW rifles are a different animal. Consistency is even more important with them. Hope this helps! Jon

Listen guys, I know the real scoop. The government ISbuying up everything to guard their horde of toilet paper. I read it on the internet.

There is more the one way to find you node but it is my preference to be able to load from the box in my bolt guns. My Encore, not so much.... Berger has a good reputation for accuracy so by all means give their system a try. I didn’t have great results my self. I think you run the risk of...

This is right on from what my understanding of OCW is. 41.6-41.9 is where I would explore my seating depth. Start with as long as possible for either your mag length limitations or chamber length limitations and shoot groups .003” shorter for each group. Find at least two depths next to each...

This guy is probably one of the best resources for cold weather hammock camping. He is a backpacker and very weight conscious. He’s also a clown, literally.

IMHO the 300BO shines in an SBR application with either sub or supers. In a 16” barrel you don’t gain much with supers and nothing is gained with subs. So if you are looking for a SBR and plan on a QCB/military/law enforcement or other short range uses, the 300BO is tough to beat. Other than...

That’s easy! You need to bring your micrometer with you to measure which one is deader. 😃

I got two from bug holes.com. One Krieger and one Bartlein. Very pleased with both. As stated, any premium barrel will be a big upgrade. If not in accuracy you see a huge difference when cleaning. My experience with X-Caliber was very good as well but in an AR platform.
