    300 Wby Braked Recoil?

    Drilled hole brakes are around 30% effective and a good baffle brake is 60+%.

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    No one believes shooting the same volume of a faster burning powder at a higher pressure equals the same barrel life. Higher pressure also means the barrel walls need to be thicker to control it. Titanium has more give and that is why titanium actions cant handle the same pressures of steel...

    Biden bans off shore oil drilling….

    I have no doubt in my mind that the Department of Education was formed as a Democrat objective to do what it has done. They are constantly scheeming to keep power. Everything they want to do is stack the deck to keep them in power, such as Puerto Rico as a state and DC as a state. Wonder why...

    Biden bans off shore oil drilling….

    School choice is a great start to allow people to get the kids away from the crazies. Most catholic or christian schools aren't filled with nut job teachers. Just like legacy media legacy schools (ie public schools ) are underperforming and full of those liberal women. Another thing that could...

    Fireforming Update- Ruger 375 brass

    I would band together and get some 300PRC/375Ruger blanks made by ADG or Peterson. You'd have to run through a .416 dies first but you'd get quality brass instead of cheap/weak Hornady. Or you just fireform 300PRC.

    Justin Trudeau Resignation?

    That is what I was thinking Fotis. My in-laws are Canadian but none of them consistently hunt so I can't tag along without a outfitter. The only person that does is my sister in-laws boyfriend of 13+ years and he is finally marrying my sister in-law but it's doubtful I'll be a part of the family...

    Justin Trudeau Resignation?

    It's pretty funny that Trump pretty much sealed his fate. Are you guys ready to become the states of West Canada and East Canada? :D

    Biden bans off shore oil drilling….

    It shows why he and his party lost, he didn't listen to the people. The people want cheaper prices and to be safer. Biden only cares about finishing his party's agenda at the expense of the citizens. Why do you think the rep from the USVI stood up and spoke about being non voting members. They...

    Federal’s 7mm Backcountry

    High pressure equals more throat erosion as well. It might use less powder but the higher pressures will eat barrels as fast as the 28 Nosler, which is pretty fast. Steel cases in a steel barrel is a recipe for chamber damage if the cases aren't perfectly clean. There is no give like brass affords.

    Barrel Materials

    Stainless is better IMO. A Cerakote coating will always scratch and expose the chromoly steel underneath. 416 isn't super corrosion resistant but it's light years ahead of chromoly. Nitrided chromoly is better than either. If you really want the color you can have the stainless Cerakoted.

    Which one?

    When I was a kid, 40 years ago, I bought a cheap Anshutz 22LR. It was cheap compared to all the other Anshutz rifles at the time. It doesn't feed great, even after thousands of rounds through it, but it shoots just about anything amazing. I can sit down at 50yds and literally shoot out a 1" dot...

    375 H&H Mag 250 gr SMK

    I shot that same bullet for quite a few years in my 375-358STA. Mine was running 3080fps in a 27" tube with 4350. It hammered all kinds of animals from a duiker to a kudu in Africa and antelope to elk here.

    UPDATE***Explain this...case will not chamber...

    The head to the belt dimension sets the headspace. Trimming the neck wont fix that problem. It sounds like those cases have too long of headspace dimension for your rifle. Belted cases have been known to have terrible tolerances in the belts. The "premium" brass made now is much better.

    Old dogs

    Today my Draht puppy went 31 miles and I went 5 miles. I don't have a GPS collar for my lab but I bet she is half that. My youngest son and I got 4 birds and he shot a bird with a 22" tail. One of the better birds this year for planted birds. I shot a 24" a couple weeks ago.

    Old dogs

    My Drahthaar puppy probably does twice the miles my lab does. He is like a crack addict with ADHD. I talk to the owner of the brother to my dog and he tracks his dog chuckar hunting. He walked 9 miles and his Drahthaar puppy did 29 miles. That's burning tons of calories.
