andyyy

Totally with you there. I've got a Zeiss V6 which tracks perfectly. Thought about getting a NF or tactical style scope but the reticle would be more of a pain than a boon for me. I have a nice rangefinder (sig) but no chronograph. I use a calculator and BC+ drop values to estimate velocities. I have the Strelok app and a few others. Im a little worried that shooting my 06 too much won't be helpful if I move up later; I imagine a lot of the wind intuition will remain, and the numbers can be adjusted for drop for the new load, but the time might have been better spent using the final cartridge and learning how it behaves in wind specifically. I agree recoil can be an issue. However, I'm specifically going for threaded, and won't shoot without either a brake or silencer, which significantly reduce the recoil. A magnum will kick less than my current 06 with the muzzle devices, so I am not concerned with that.

Good choice, you'll love it. Just don't dry fire a bare lower 😝

Thanks for the input folks. The only thing I'm concerned with is powder availability, pretty tough to find rl16/retumbo/h1000. However I think those same powders are used in the other mags as well. Brass seems available, if a bit tough to find. Haven't looked into projectiles; I kind of assumed 200gr+ bullets would be available. The PRC seemed like it was a better choice than 300WM since it isn't belted. More brass life. This may be an overstated issue. Haven't looked seriously into any of the 7mm cartridges besides 28 nosler, but if they're better than 300prc I'll have to take a look. 28 nosler brass (nosler, Hornady) is like 3$ each. Double the cost of Lapua 300 PRC. shorter barrel life, not much ballistic difference at sub 1K. Didn't seem worth it.

I've got a larue MBT on my coyote AR. It's a bit heavier than any of my hunting rifles (I think it's 4LB from Larue) but breaks as smooth as glass. Under or around 100$, hard to beat. I've fired a geissele on a competition rifle (the standing/prone/kneeling; I think highpower?) that was set for a hair trigger (not sure if he did different springs or whatever). It was also awesome, but probably too light for hunting. I think they're a lot more expensive as well. I think you'll be happy with either. 👍

DCM/methylene chloride/dichloromethane/paint stripper (different names for same shoot) works really well. It's the main ingredient in commercial carbon cleaner as well. In college I used it for experiments on solid hydrocarbons (soot molecules) to dissolve them. Works like a charm. It penetrates nitrile gloves in several seconds so be careful and take them off immediately for a fresh pair if it splatters on you.

Hi there, new to forum but had a question. Anyone ever get coyote/bobcat hides tanned around here? I've got a frozen coyote hide from up north that I thought was worth keeping, was looking to get it tanned and either hung up on the wall or sewn into my favorite coat . Not a rug with the face done up, just a fur tan. It's not fleshed or anything but I tube skinned it pretty well, not much damage besides a pinhole. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! Moyle looks reputable enough thanks for the reccomendation. Ill have to thaw +flesh and dry but might as well learn sooner than later.

aand it works. thanks yall, a lot easier being able to use my computer. gonna not use the other account.
