    Gettysburg

    As always, very well researched @VikingsGuy. You might find Apostles of Disunion interesting if you haven't read it already. I do think there is a distinction to be made between the political reasons for secession-- which was undoubtedly slavery-- and the political reasons for opposing...

    Gettysburg

    Britain's greatest victory... won by the Prussians [ducks and covers].

    Nosler AB LR 168gr bullets in a 280AI

    I would expect better than 50% weight retention and penetration at least through the chest cavity for any premium, bonded bullet. Again, lots of Accubond fans and it is a projectile that has no doubt killed a ton of game. I just had a suboptimal experience with them on one elk.

    Nosler AB LR 168gr bullets in a 280AI

    Well, my .308 certainly wasn't impacting at that speed. I dunno, then. Maybe those NM cows are just armor-plated. Or maybe I should've been toting a RUM 🤣

    Nosler AB LR 168gr bullets in a 280AI

    Could've been, but I figured I was just too close and the bullet impacted above max. ideal velocity. Photo below comparing an unfired 165AB and the fragment recovered from the heart weighing 87.9 grains (with some organic material still attached), for a weigh retention of about 53%. This...

    Nosler AB LR 168gr bullets in a 280AI

    I know it is heresy around these parts, but I was really disappointed in the performance of the garden-variety Accubonds out of a .308 on a cow elk at about 70 yards. Two chest cavity hits, both projectiles came apart and penetrated very poorly. Piece of first round lodged in near side of the...

    Gettysburg

    Killer Angels is fine, but it is ultimately fiction. Harry Pfanz's nonfiction Gettysburg trilogy is even more compelling and firmly based in academic research: https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Pfanz-Gettysburg-Trilogy-Omnibus-ebook/dp/B006BAJEE6 @shrapnel-- if you have time for a quick jaunt down...

    Turkeys!!! Let’s see them!

    Sincerely believe that if you can consistently kill toms in Alabama-- especially on public land-- then you can kill them anywhere. Great bird, congrats!

    7.7 JAP

    Feel like I just read an article in Handloader or some other shooting magazine about this cartridge. Essentially duplicated .308 Win/.303 Brit ballistics.

    Good and bad days at the range

    I'd suspect the loose screw behind the trigger is to blame for most of my bad range days.

    We should all find a roughly central meeting point this year and host a HT Smoked Meat-a-palooza.

    Spice blends

    You are way better off mixing your own-- most commercial spice blends are primarily salt-- but I'm a big fan of Savory Spice's Kansas City Strip Steak Seasoning: https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/products/kansas-city-strip-steak-seasoning The Pike's Peak Butcher's Rub is pretty good, too...
