All I see in that picture Lowkey is "Tasty". Tasty, tasty bear steaks/sausage/jerky/ground/ribs..... MMmmmmmmmmm TASTY. I'm allowed two per year, no tag needed (sustinance hunting). I'e been warned though. hunt them inland if you want meat rather than a trophy. The ones along the shorelije taste fishy as hell. |

I could see that. Diet has a huge effect on the "gameiness" of some animals. I shot a deer that was from up in the pine/juniper area of Canada once and the meat was WAY different than our corn and bean field poodles. Really makes you appreciate what you have, sort of like when I hunted down south, deer were much smaller than our usual. They tasted fine, though. Two bear a year.  Our current wait-list on the "lotto" has us at 8 years for a bear tag in WI. If I want a fuzzy I head out of country.... I'm gonna move to where ever Lowkey's hanging out in. I'm sure there's a hospital up there... |

What do you guys think about 69gr SMK in .223 as a defensive load? Found some locally $11/20.

1/9 twist stabilize a 69 grain bullet enough that you hits what you shoots at, or do you need a 1/7 for a heavier bullet like that?

Winchester SP's were pretty much my preferred load with a bunch of 55 gr. SP's that I got for cheap doing backup. When I got a 1/7 I started using 70 and 75 grain. |

Sweet, thanks guys. I grabbed enough to test a couple boxes and load two 30rd mags.
Now my "go" mags are a mix of Win Ranger 55gr SP, Prvi 75gr OTM, 69gr SMK, and M193.

Just a heads up, sometime early June I'll be going through the weapons parts I've had in storage, and I'll probably want to unload a few of them. Inovative Arms WAR uppers, for example...I know I have at least three of those. I've also have three of these... 12.5 inch 5.556 barrelslink.Anyway, some stuff's going to go up for sale. |

WASR uppers? I'm always in the market for good deals on gun parts, especially AR parts. Post what you find I may buy some of it.
