In order for the Accubond ammo to fit in the magazine of my .308, the bullets need to be seated .165" off the rifling. Oddly enough, they grouped better there than closer or farther.
My buddy was using ABLRs in his 6.5 Creed to hunt deer. The first buck was shot in the neck and the bullet blew a grapefruit size hole out the back. The second buck was shot on the shoulder and the ABLR left a large and nasty hole on the entrance side. Both bucks were around 100yds and they were...
No one is suggesting that a hunter buy hearing aids instead of generic electronic buds. My statement was to indicate that for persons with hearing aids that they "may" be useful in attenuating the noise of gunfire. If that's the case then buying additional noise suppression buds would be...
Just two comments:
1. An audiologist told me that the in-the-ear aids (oticon or such) will clip off gun shot noise. I have no personal experience with this but it would be interesting to hear from someone who has tried it.
2. My buddy has a set of in-the-ear aids that he bought from the...
I can't tell you how many times over the last 20 years that I've started filling the hopper with the drain gate open. I often wondered why the gate wasn't spring loaded so that it closes itself when you let it go.
For now, I put a piece of masking tape in the half circle that's visible when the...
I can only say that on the buck I took at 125yds, they expanded, as expected, and exited. I have also read that they work well in the 458SOCOM which would yield less velocity at all ranges.
I can't think of any chronograph that's easier than the LabRadar. It's set up in two minutes and never needs adjustment. I switch between 3 rifles and don't need to touch the thing. You can operate it from your phone, which some users really like, but I don't bother. The buttons are all within...
My brother has hens at 1 of his 2 homes. Because he's not where the chickens are all the time, he has auto-feeders, auto-waterers, an electronic door on the coop so that they're safe at night, and cameras on the area so that he can see everything from wherever he is. Some of you guys are really...
My prediction -
The 6ARC isn't going anywhere
The 7PRC will be a flash in the pan and end up like the 7WSM (which is a really great cartridge too)
The 6.5RPM will die in the starting blocks
Virtually everything "magnum" will wither as better bullets and powders are developed, negating their...
I typically rest the rifle so that the front rest is beneath the front bell of the scope. (as seen in the image above) This helps by not resting the rifle on the most flexible area of the stock (forend tip) and allows the gun to recoil without the front sling stud contacting the bag. If you...
We've had numerous dead whales, dolphins and other big creatures wash up on the beaches here. Of all those marine mammals that needed disposal, we never blasted one into oblivion. :eek::eek::ROFLMAO:
The simple solution was to dig deep trenches and bury them. Nature takes care of the rest.
Congratulations on getting a nice cat.
I hunted mountain lions with a buddy in Utah. It was very cold and very rugged. My buddy got a beautiful big tom while I videotaped his experience. The luck wasn't with me on that trip, but I had a great time. Can't wait to return for another go-around.
