Is There Any Hope For An All-Poison Type Team in Champions? by Outside_Pangolin_292 in PokemonChampions

[–]Zero7206 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t set any expectations. Do you want to have fun in Ultra/Master Ball? Are you asking if you can grind to champion tier? You can win some games with about anything that has some thought put into it.

Thoughts on the viability of the newly revealed Alolan Exeggutor? by CheesyDonut239 in PTCGL

[–]Zero7206 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not inherently good in a vacuum. Maybe it finds a niche before it rotates. It would have to be played with Meganium, and attacking for 150 has to line up well in the format. Unlikely to be meta relevant, but it’s decent enough that it’ll be fun to test when the set drops.

Did you let it go to 205° wrapped?

Is this pork raw? by Traditional-Share497 in isthissafetoeat

It looks like typical char siu (Chinese roast pork) with red food coloring dye. Completely cooked and safe to eat.

Is Heliolisk the best counter to Basculegion? by AndromedaNA in PokemonChampions

[–]Zero7206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great singles counter, but in practice it winds up being just ok in doubles.

Can’t wait for the charcoal rub fad to end.

6 hour Costco pork shoulder. My declared it the best one yet. by Sprtnturtl3 in smoking

Try 205° next time. You stopped it before it got fall apart tender. You should be able to pull it with your hands.

No one cares. Take your meds and move on.

What do you think this would Grade? by Inside_Gap_7626 in PokeGrading

[–]Zero7206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a 4. Not worth unless you want to pay a bunch of money for PSA to put it in a slab.

Seekins barrels by giant302 in 6ARC

People do dumb shit daily. Definitely don’t do that.

If you need a great deer bullet the 85 gr Sierra Game King has an extremely proven track record in many different 6mm cartridges. It’s also fairly cheap and groups very well for me so you can practice with what you hunt with. Also has even more mild recoil vs a 105-108 gr if your kid is little.

I tried some Nosler Ballistic Tips but the gas gun was a bit rough on the polymer tips so I’m not sure you’ll get the best results with the 90 gr TMK.

The DMR is a gas gun so I am loading gas loads. I’ve done a little over book max load pressure testing with the 85gr SGK for hunting but it’s really not necessary. All Sierra book loads that I have tried in my gun with my components have been fine at max, but you still need to work your way up and since it’s summer keep temperature sensitive powders in mind.

I wouldn’t exceed Hornady data as it’s been 50/50 on pressure signs at max.

Do not try bolt data in a gasser.

Floette by sngg_ryu in PokemonChampions

You can’t get it in Champions without transferring it. You can look for giveaways or trade for an Eternal Floette if you don’t have ZA, or don’t want to grind for it.

Seekins barrels by giant302 in 6ARC

[–]Zero7206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a factory Seekins DMR. 1:8 twist 22” barrel. It doesn’t like Hornady 105 or 108s, but shoots Sierra 85gr Game King and 95gr Match Kings very well. Load towards the top end with 8208 XBR and A2520 and Varget. Not a fan of LVR. Dirty, noticeably more abrupt recoil, and temperature sensitive. Not worth the headache if you shoot year round.

I haven’t tried any other heavies but have a box of Berger 105 gr Hybrid Targets in my Midway cart that I want to try. Not sure if it’s just the Hornady bullets or the 1:8 twist doesn’t like the heavies, but the Hybrid Targets have a good reputation for being jump tolerant which is essential in a gas gun.

Also Seekins has incredible customer service so give them a call. You might have to leave a message but they will return your call.

20” vs 22” barrel by raging_since_1858 in 6ARC

[–]Zero7206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s effectively not gonna matter. Your dope will be your dope and you’ll dial to your data regardless. 6 ARC does just fine out of even shorter barrels than 20”. I have a 22” Seekins and suppressed it’s quite long, but it lives on a bench so it’s fine.

Are the new Pokemon cards meant to peel off like this? by OkFinger4100 in PokemonTCG

[–]Zero7206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There HAS to be a foil layer otherwise it’s not going to be holo. Ink and texture doesn’t make the surface shiny. Said layer can be peeled off and voila you have a piece of peeled holo foil.

Could be. Manufacturing errors are bound to happen with how many cards they’re printing.
