Before alarm clocks existed, people used nails fixed onto candles to make sure they wake up on time.
They knew how to calculate the burning time and put the nail at the right position.
As the candle melted, the nail fell, made a noise and woke its owner.

Many who claim they are "preppers" do not really have a working plan (what to do when you run out of BIC-lighters or AA-batteries or whatever their mind is locked on to) and end up hoarding..

I’m not sure it’s a lack of a plan that will get them so much as a lack of critical skill sets…

You don’t need a 10 year supply of bic lighters or a plan to acquire more… if you know how to make primitive fire…

I don’t think it’s practical for the average every day working class city dweller to invest the time and money into learning every possible critical skill..

But whether we are talking a TEOTWAWKI situation or someone just out for the weekend on a long hike or a wilderness hunt.. if you don’t at least have the basic fundamental skills for survival down to at least advanced Boy Scout level.. you’re wrong…

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
