    Ballistic calculator

    I’m sorry I haven’t read most of these but it is very entertaining if you’re worried about how much ammo you’re using to test loads you could’ve (can) created your own charts the whole idea of a ballistics chart is just to make things simple obviously you can’t do that but if you know the drop...

    Cost of Reloading - Pre-Covid Vs Post Covid

    Zinc, copper & lead are all up 5- 10 x in the last 20 years. Manufacturing during COVID-19 has been sporadic but the supply chain stops when the factory has no worker. Powder down here is either in or out of stock but prices are stable. I think reloading is possibly cheaper than 25 years ago...

    When do you chamber a round while hunting?

    A bolt gun will have the firing pin protruding when it’s in the closed position if the trigger is disengaged on closing. it’s not like a shot gun hammer that comes out and then has a spring holding it back the spring only pushes it forward this may be different for AR style guns

    Eradicate the Wolf???!

    Now you’re talking about your legal right to hunt them?? I don’t dispute that as long as it’s legal you were talking about eradicating them and the grizzly because you don’t think they belong keep on page.

    Eradicate the Wolf???!

    "yoteslayer” I am with you on that didn’t mean to attack you personally but there is much wastage & those predators only leave a carcass if under duress. Many will return for days/weeks depending on external pressures. I too am demonised for my lifestyle but wanting to kill all...

    Eradicate the Wolf???!

    Diamondback, The wolves and Grizzly are nothing but window dressings in the environment to make us feel good. If they were taken out of the environment, it wouldn't cause the world to end or apocalypse! We can agree to disagree. "Hunters should want diversity" So do you know that the...

    Eradicate the Wolf???!

    Again your argument has no foundation Maybe all NP should be turned into farms remove ALL elk, deer, rabbits, bear, doves, .......... from the planet so it can be just crops & feedlots. Why should the government keep public lands just for deer & elk for you to hunt. You could just go to the...

    Eradicate the Wolf???!

    Don't you see the irony in your argument Kill for sport - just like you Partly consume elk- just like many hunters do Next you'll argue that their camo is better that yours, their long range abilities are unfair and they can see better at night. I too am a hunter but many of you have flawed...
