Once you put a supressor on it, the rifle weight won’t matter much.


Every lb more the gun weighs is going to reduce the recoil by 10-15%, suppressed or not. With a 5 year old I’m looking to do more than take the snap out of it, I want them to look forward to shooting it.
I’m partial to the 7mm-08 as a lifetime gun but I don’t think it’s a good idea to give a young shooter the lightest gun possible even though they have youth in the name. My strategy with kids is to get recoil down by any means necessary so they don’t develop a flinch.

My son is three now and when I think he’s old enough to shoot I will buy whatever tikka has out at the time and put it in a heavier aftermarket stock to get the overall weight up and a suppressor.
Learned this the hard way myself. After that I ponied up for Peterson. After a few weeks I decided to try some leftover norma whitetail, which is not supposed to be as good as their retail unloaded brass, but even that was significantly better than Hornady. If you’re just reloading hunting stuff, I highly recommend going and getting two boxes of norma whitetail when it goes on clearance somewhere, using it for practice/establishing baseline groups, and then just reloading that.

A lot of those are Chinese knock offs of name brand lithiums and will cause more problems. All of these modern game cams are made to run on lithiums.

It is stupid easy to rig up a feeder battery in an ammo can. A 7ah lithium is $25 and will run it for two months straight on instant send even over a feeder getting hundreds of pics a day.

If a lithium battery is showing anything less than 90-100%, it’s dead. It doesn’t tail off like alkalines.

You will go broke putting batteries in any of them. Solar panels pay for themselves quickly, and any brand can be hooked up to a 7ah battery that will run it for months and then can be recharged.

I can honestly say I’ve never had an issue with any of the dozen tactacams I own, and have probably 40 shared with me that run fine. I’ve always used the memory cards they recommend and have them all on external power. Not gonna fix it if it isn’t broke.

You have to acknowledge he’s charging for the risk associated with making a store front for grey market products.

If you think his margins are too high you’re welcome to throw up a ChatGPT website and undercut him with what you deem to be ethical margins.

But you won’t, cause you probably got kids and shite.

Does he ever go back and eat crow over this kind of thing or just leave it to the assumption he was right at some point over a vague timeline?
Most people get into that kind of business because they love the hobby more than they enjoy squeezing every drop of profit they can out of it. The feed store in my small town closes at noon on Wednesdays, so the owner can go tend to his hobby farm.

My brother in Christ, it’s August.
Sitting at the camp right now after towing my 1000 up to spray and what I’ll say is give yourself a couple feet of wiggle room on the length aside from what will absolutely fit even if it means you have to store it outside the garage. Rangers balance really well due to the engine placement under the bed generally landing the weight on top of the axle but towing even a relatively light sxs with all the weight on the tongue is a pain in the dick.

What will the increased PSI do to gun barrels? Decrease their life? Not have any consequences? Generally curious. Was that tested by federal?


Running at higher pressure will incrementally decrease barrel life. Federal has sugar coated it but that’s the trade off. You’re still talking a thousand or more rounds before the barrel is shot out so its a trade off most are fine making for a hunting rifle. Not all that different from handloading near max pressure, will vary a lot how overbored the original round was. A +peak 270 may not increase at all, a +peak 28 nosler may get two boxes and start flinging them.

Actually, I'm hoping they release a .30-06 version. Adding 300fps to a 150gr load would bring it up to 3,300fps.


They will, it or something similar that achieves higher pressure will eventually be an option in any cartridge.
It 100% is the future now that they’ve figured out how to reload it. If it was a disposable case then it would probably fade out. Other companies will copy the alloy and once all the tooling is swapped over it won’t add significant manufacturing cost and gives practical benefits, so when people get over the butthurt that the firearms industry insulted their 30-06 by inventing something new within the last 120 years, it’ll be the new standard.
The sprayers work. Mine will drop temps into the mid-80s if I run it wide open, which is cool enough to give you a slight chill when you get in. I had priced out a chiller and am glad I tried the sprayer first. It works by evaporative cooling so you do need to be mindful of level over time but eyeballing it I don’t top off the pool any more than I already was when it’s hot and not raining.

Ignore all the smartass responses.

What you want to do is keep an eye on the local sheriff bookings. Once you have noted down at least three people booked for possession of meth, hit them all three up on Facebook and see if you can get them into a bidding war.
Man I obviously don’t know much about this game but it seems like you really need to establish at least some kind of online presence.

This seems like the biggest thing that gets glossed over in the YouTube sales pitch, I can’t imagine it’s easy to build a stable client base.

How are you getting your name out there and competing against any dude with a zero turn and a trailer who will do it for 30 bucks?
I’m not about to go quit my job, just curious to hear from those who have lived it and get the real story. A lot of these dudes on YouTube are selling a dream that you can start with a busted push mower and in no time be sending out crews while you sit in the A/C and estimate.
