not fond of it so far

How long should it take to anneal a PRC case using map gas? I ask because I read somewhere that you had to do it in 4-6 seconds or heat traveled too far down the case body rendering it too soft. I am just starting to use a burstfire annealing machine with results I am unsure about. The cases...

5.56, 223 wylde, 6mm arc, 25 wssm, 6.5 grendel, 458 socom, and 6.5 creed.

Also don't disregard the 140 ELDM, I think it performs better on game than the ELDX. 5 bucks the last 2 seasons out to 486 yards have me convinced they work.

looks like a couple of some kind of spruce directly behind the cabin, and a virginia or yellow pine on the right.

Not really, I killed and skinned a bear couple years ago, 2 days later had a tiny tick embedded in my belly, It was December 9th. I use permethrin all year now.

+2.5" at 100, to 200 hold lower third of the shoulder, 300 hold upper third of the shoulder, 400 hold top of the back 500 hold 10" over the back. trajectory looks like this 100 +2.5 200 +3.5 300 0.0 400 -7.75 500 -21 this is for chamberings running good bullets around 3100 fps. (6.5...

IIRC I loaded 200 gr. with IMR 4895, shot as good as I could.

Wish I had info to help you have a successful hunt, I have hunted easterns since 1978, in half a dozen states. Have killed many, many gobblers in the spring. Fall is a different story, have had some success, but in the fall they are mainly targets of opportunity. They only call when busted up...

Have never heard longbeards make the lost call, bust up a flock of gobblers and they gobble. Old hens and young of the year are easy to call when busted up. Old gobblers not so much.

IMR 4831 behind the 95 gr. BT gives me good results.

american tactical, about 600 bucks but you get interchangeable chokes, barrel selector, selective ejectors/extractors. And its pleasing to the eye and balanced well. Accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobile chokes

what will constant 80K psi do to the throat?

have a burstfire annealer, anneal every 2-3 loadings depending on the brass.

You could also use cornmeal to form cases and save some barrel life
