Nobody ponders it until it happens. Foolish is not learning from something moving forward. Consider it hard won experience. You are on the right track.

When you say "the only info they got" you appear to be talking from a place of knowledge, and yet you bit on a simple social engineering bit. You have already provided more than enough information for identity theft. Just answering the phone and confirming your identity to that specific...

Nobody would ever use that system extensively, almost by definition. Your wrists would fall off before you got past small batch volume. People who shoot extensively have money wrapped up into volume shooting, and that includes quality reloading equipment. Drill powered models are for folks...

Giraud is the gold standard for trimmers. Downside is you have to buy per cartridge, and it cuts off the shoulder. Henderson trimmers are excellent, with collets per case head and cutter for specific calibers. Upside is OAL trim length, downside is it only covers the common calibers ie 458...

Now everyone's electronic leash can tug on them everywhere. Ain't progress grand.

I take a hybrid approach with adjustable turrents. I zero at 100, true my ballistics to 600+, and calculate true 3" MPBR. I adjust my turrents for MPBR in my scope for quick shots, and dial if there is plenty of time. That means the zero stop is always 100 yds, the scope usually sits at...

Moly was notorious for being hygroscopic trapping moisture and other things... It can ruin a barrel unless it is tightly managed. I switched to HBN for that reason.

I had no trouble bringing it. There are a couple of caveats: Use an agent - Makes a very big difference dealing with customs. Laws - Many of the countries require a minimum caliber Action - A semi-automatic is very unlikely to get through, and never for self-defense. I've only used a single...

@fourfive8 pretty much nailed the spirit of much of what I was saying overall. With respect to @HankBuck's question, so many guys bring so much baggage up here (mental and physical). Just bring the sh!t that works, and keep your mind and pack light. Every other trinket just adds weight to...

I definitely get the challenge. And everything is easier to say than do. Just prod them to vocalize what they are doing and why. Impress the reason behind it. It's tough as hell negotiating tough terrain sucking for oxygen, so I do sympathize... but Ryan is right, a bell just doesn't carry...

I look at the bright side. Here you have a liberal author that is making a point to a liberal audience that hunting is no more evil than the circle of life. That audience is so disconnected from everything they consume. If she influences some people that think "Likes" are more important...

In the bush, the risk is getting overloaded with weight and garbage you don't need. That is a pretty high cost. The issue is prioritizing things that really matter over the superfluous. Bear studies have shown the bells just don't have any kind of adverse impact. So, prioritize the things...

You already have the right answer. Human voice and cracking branches carry in the bush. The bell just won't. You already have the spray and I assume a shotgun (most survey guards I know are required to). Just keep them yakking about some story or another.

Typically all that velocity is lost on impact. The handgun bullets aren't starting with a speed advantage. Shoot AFrames 150 fps faster, and they still won't penetrate as deeply as a solid. My DG had bullets in the skin on the far side, but no exit. There isn't a ton of margin to play with...
