    Barnes Triple Shock 165 gr

    Just the tip I do buy LRX when available but I have never had that happen with TSX. I know it does happen though and appreciate you sharing. It is very informative to see what happened to the nose of the bullet.

    Looking for free range Aoudad in West TX

    I have not hunted with him but he is at the top of my list when I get to Aoudad in a few years. He has a great reputation on Texas Hunting Forum since 2007 and there is plenty of info out there on him as well. www.westtexashunt.com

    Try and convince me the 243 is actually useful

    All plastic shot shells

    I remember shooting those must have been late 90s. I recall 12 and 20 ga target loads. Brand was Activ. Have not seen them since. Edit: Yep thats the right brand. Do a search for Activ Plastic Shotshells and you will get a lot of hits. People are selling them as collectors items.

    Warning on new Leupold scopes

    Hmm. I did not think an infant could unscrew the battery cover on a VX6 that a grown ass man had tightened. Learn something new every day.

    Need help choosing between 2 calibers

    300PRC 190 LRX did a great job for me from Impala to Eland. I continue to experiment and have now tried 208 LRX and 212 bore rider. I love those heavy bullets. Make sure you watch twist rate as most factory rifles will not have fast enough twist for the longest of the 30 cal Barnes. Barnes...

    Trujicon SRO VS RMR

    The RMR by design is more robost and should take some "bangs" better than SRO due to the intentional shape. The SRO is nice in that it has a larger window. On a night stand pistol I hade a little more difficulty deciding but for my 458 it was easy to choose the RMR. My opinion is that lined up...

    Thermal Optics and Eye/ Vision Impairment/ Damage

    If looking through a thermal scope are you not just looking at a display screen of some LED variant? I 100% believe you so this is fascinating to me.
