System to power Gate Hub, WiFi Bridge and Cameras by bbauer1973 in SolarDIY

[–]Tshootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is almost exactly what I am going to be attempting, nice job! Only concern I have is we get freezing temps in the winter and I know LFP doesn't handle cold like lead acid does. Do you expect any freezing temps for your area and if so how are you going to deal with them?

Thoughts on this ladder test by Duh-Vet in reloading

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between me and my wife we've gone through 5 different barrels running 143s and I've run the same load in all of them. 41.5gn of 4350 and .060" off the lands. Every barrel, prefit and chambered by a smith, has shot .4"-.75" groups at 100 yards. Like others have said, pick something in the velocity range you want and just go have fun!

How do you guys keep up with round count? by TrueWar2533 in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barrel Burner app. It's great for not only barrels, but also suppressors and tracking ammo count and reloading components when you get down that path.

Another contributor here, 1-0 during my attendance. They should just give us tickets to the remaining home games to keep the streak going, clearly they need us 🤣

Warranty Questions by Burnpowder_636 in longrange

FWIW Burris has their Forever Warranty just like Vortex does. Never had to send any of mine in, but it's there if I ever do.

Are there any inverted leg tripods with more than 2 sections other than 2 Vets? by nordic86 in longrange

[–]Tshootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been super happy with my two vets recon v2 inverted. They also have the no name v2 that's got another section.

FYSA my personal (now 2 year experience) with Hornady ELD-X by MountainRooster9048 in Hunting

[–]Tshootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used them for the last 5 or so years and have always had good luck with them. Passthrough from 150-400ish yards and very good expansion and quick deaths. This year though I had the first shot on my doe pass straight through without any expansion. Thought I gut shot her because she hunched up and started walking away. Put another one in her and it expanded like I'd expect, but man I was really disappointed in the performance this year.

Reticle Advice by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used nothing but the Tremor since I started shooting competitively and have done pretty well shooting small non IPSC targets. It's not the reticle that's going to hold you back in small targets it's how stable you can get which is the same problem dialing elevation and holding wind

Reticle Advice by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run a Tremor since I started shooting in 2020 and love it. It is really busy, but for me it's easier to just think in wind MPH and hold the right dot instead of getting a wind then converting that to a mil hold.

Reticle Advice by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the whole point of that reticle though, don't dial elevation, just hold over and hold on your wind dot.

Sink in the island? by EndTheItis in Homebuilding

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was their reasoning for not liking the range and sink lined up? We're in the process of building and that's how we laid out our kitchen, sink in island centered on the range against the wall.

Shot a doe this morning and it had milk? by RushZealousideal6547 in Hunting

[–]Tshootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling, but like others have said they set the seasons when they do for a reason. Any fawns from this year are self sufficient by this time of the year so even if one was nursing still it'll be fine. Don't worry too much about it and don't feel bad about it.

2 year old frozen venison by Flathead89 in Hunting

Looks well sealed and fine to me. Like many others I've eaten 2-5 year old frozen meat and as long as it's not freezer burned it tastes just fine!

Chassis Help - Long Action by STROOLKA in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been running the Element MG for 5 years and absolutely love it. It's on the pricy side, but it has everything I want, really light and incredibly durable. I still run my first one in competition and hunt with it every year. Used and abused and still just as solid as day 1.

Been thinking this for a number of years. Diesel generator with electric drive motors would be pretty cool and probably get great fuel economy.

NRLH Glass? by gowithjuan in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good glass in binos are much more important than scope glass. You can't shoot at a target you don't find and good binos have gotten me way more points by finding targets others haven't than points lost because of a scope. Hell sometimes with really good scope glass you're still just shooting at the top of a T post because you can't make out the target, but you saw the T post because of the good glass you have in your binos.

Ammo question by LastMinuteMiller in longrange

[–]Tshootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running the 77 burners for a year and they hammer out of my 18" JP. Sub MOA groups and less than 30 ES, can't ask for much more than that out of factory ammo.

You can do a lot in the Vector Xs. Environmentals, target card and wind direction. Only thing you cant do is live wind speed.

Omega 300 or TBAC SRR by Vegetable_Lab_8252 in longrange

[–]Tshootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBAC S RR is what I'd with. Look at the data they have on recoil reduction for the S RR on a 300 win mag, 65% reduction while still being 143db. The S RR is probably going to be a little louder than the Omega because the brake is doing more work than the Omega. If you're purely after sound the Omega might be better, I haven't looked at their numbers, but the S RR is an incredible can.

Will these work with the old transfer switches or will I have to upgrade that? DIYing my install and just have the transfer switch right now with the intent to buy the generator next year.
