    Hammer HBC ballistic coefficient

    Title is a little vague. I’ve been using the 140gr Absolute Hammer in my 7-08ai for the last few years. They’ve been good bullets but the BC is a little lacking. When hammer came out with the HBC last year I switched over to them last spring. I finally got around to finalizing my load for an...

    Gunsmith recommendations

    Hey all. I’ve got a Ugartechea SxS shotgun that might need a little work. Can he safety on it is loose and doesn’t want to stay on of off and instead wants to slide around. Anyone know a gunsmith in the Phoenix area that works on SxS guns?

    Which action for 6 ARC bolt gun?

    Alright. I’m itching to build a lightweight 6 ARC bolt gun with a folding Chassis. I’ve got a 6ARC gas gun that I really enjoy but it’s a touch heavy for deer hunting. Love it for coyote hunting where I’m generally only walking 300-500 yards max to a stand location. I’ve been playing around with...

    Cheddite 209s for muzzloaders

    Hey all I’m low on 209s. I haven’t used my muzzleloader since I left Colorado almost 4 years ago and didn’t realize I was so low. Anyway. Anyone use Cheddite to ignite a muzzleloader? All the 209s seem to be out of stock except cheddite brand primers.

    Building on a weatherby vanguard action

    Is there anything special to consider when doing a semi custom on a weatherby vanguard action? I have a youth model in 7-08 that never sees the light of day mostly due to the fact that it isn’t threaded and I kinda don’t like shooting without a suppressor anymore. The barrel is a light...

    Failure happens

    So nothing catastrophic here. But we all see the scope failures and such around here and up until yesterday equipment failures just weren’t something I saw. Seen a few loose scope bases but that’s about it. I played hooky from work for a couple hours on Thursday to sneak out to the range and...

    Which annealer?

    Ok. I’ve been salt bath annealing for several years. I’ve had good luck with it. But my melting pot just died today. So I think I’m gonna take the opportunity to look at other annealing options. So what’s everyone using and what’s the best bang for the buck when it comes to annealing machines...

    Sightmark Wraith mini 4k 2-16x32 review

    Anyone on here used any of the new Sightmark wraith series digital scopes? I hog hunt once maybe twice a year so dropping the $$$ on a pulsar thermal or something just doesn’t make sense. I can however justify the much lower price of the Sightmark stuff. Just looking for any first hand...

    63gr absolutel hammer 5.56 load data

    Anyone messed with the 63gr absolutes in a 5.56 AR yet? I ran my first few across the chrono this morning and ran them right up to 3060fps with no pressure signs at all. Using benchmark powder. 26.0gr at the top end. Think I can push it further but wondered if anyone else did this yet. 3060fps...

    So what is this?

    Think I bought the wrong kind of upper receiver. No big deal. They’re cheap and I can get a mil spec one. But what do I do with this one? What kinda of handguard fits this?obviously it’s not milled out like a milspec.

    6 ARC? 224 Valkyrie? …..??? For kids hunting AR?

    So my oldest will be 10 next year meaning she’s old enough to hunt deer in AZ. She’s pretty small though. And does not like recoil. She has shot up to my 7-08ai and my 14lb .243win but she really enjoys my suppressed AR. She has used it on a exotic sheep already at short range. I personally have...

    First coues deer.

    I like you guys so I’ll share. After living in AZ for two years I killed my first coues deer. Hunted with my kid the first couple days then spent Sunday checking out some new country. Had to work a bit yesterday but got out last night. Saw a couple does and a bear but nothing else. Drove around...

    Badlands BD2 experience

    Who’s using the badlands BD2? I was looking at giving the 150gr .284s a try. Currently using 140gr absolute hammers at a touch over 3000fps but I’m looking for something with a bit higher BC in our windy canyons. Haven’t decided to switch yet but giving it some thought.

    120 hammer hunter experience

    So I’ve been playing with 140 absolute hammers in my 7-08ai. I’ve got one load down around .6 MOA. I’m not super happy with the accuracy. What’s interesting is that a mild charge of imr 4166 with a 120 vmax will consistently do .2 MOA. So I’m thinking this rifle might like shorter bullets. It’s...

    Best eye box scope?

    Looking for a mid level scope with the most forgiving eye box for a youth rifle. Thinking a simple 3-9x40 or even a 2-7x32 or something similar. This is not a long range rifle just a youth 7-08. Anyway just wondering what’s out there? I wanted a forgiving eye box to make it easier for the kid to...

    Black Bear, Halibut, And Shrimp

    This story starts about 15 years ago when I went off to college. I met a dude that turned out to be one of the best friends I’ve ever had. We’ve kept in touch over the years and have always tried to hang out once in awhile even though he headed to Alaska right after college and I’ve bounced...

    Subsonic.308 for hogs

    anyone have experience with killing hogs with a suppressed .308 win using subsonic ammo? I go on one or two combo axis deer/ hog hunts a year and the place I go has a lot of hogs and it’s not unusual to kill 2-5 per evening in one stand. Only thing is after using my 7-08 the amount of ruckus at...
