    Communication:

    There is a rough rule of thumb that human communication is a 7-38-55 proposition. Numbers vary, but principle is sound. Words are 7% of what we intend, tone = 38%, and body language = 55% If ever there was a medium to be misunderstood in, this is it.

    Moderation transparency, in a difficult medium.

    I called @Farleg last night to apologize for any misconceptions, or lack of proportion in response to the "Stooges" thread. 1) No rules were broken. 2) If I had been there I'd be in the middle of the antics. 3) I should have called him first not after. I'm blaming it on dental surgery and too...

    Barrel Tuning:

    Usually a couple of ways to achieve something. I've forever not been one to try a bunch of different loads, rather load to what meets my needs velocity, ES, etc. If it doesn't perform experimenting with a little for end pressure will usually fix what I see on a target. Barrel Tuners seem to be...

    Prayers for a member.

    I've been messaging @mevertsen, and he could use prayers from like minded folks. He needs a new kidney, to replace what I believe was a replacement. He seems to be handling things well, but I know from experience group prayers are very helpful. Carl

    No blood trail?

    I've been seeing a few posts indicating minimal to no blood trail with Hammer's. In my "thinking" with Hammer, or other projectile, this can be more of an anatomy physiology, shot placement issue than bullet choice. To get a good blood trail one has to hit something with good blood pressure...

    Just a thread to discuss how the proliferation of predators has affected your hunting. We lost our hound and bait hunting here in Washington with results as predicted. Then wolves came in....... @0 years ago we had the premier Shiras moose population in the world. Just talked with friends...

    Twist and velocity.

    I saw an @ButterBean post elsewhere, and thought this could be a better place for discussion. Thoughts on how much velocity is lost with increased twist, or the article. https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/02/does-barrel-twist-rate-affect-muzzle-velocity-litz-test/

    Duplex Loads?

    @les posted in another thread "duplex loads". Rather than go down the rabbit hole there I'll start a new one. For starters I've heard a couple of definitions of "duplex" what's everyones idea of what that means?

    Knee, and elbow pads?

    Looking for input on the newer "tactical" type pads. My old ones were basically plumber type, and lost in a move.

    Group size goals?

    There have been a couple of threads regarding the various aspects of improving group size, and what we do to achieve it. Some are very devoted to process, others not as much. Me? I've waffled back and forth. As I'm unaware of Hammer bullets being used in bench rest, or small pests in volume...

    Climate change.....

    Drought has been a part of the west since before Columbus. I'd rather pay this guy, than Kerry, Gore, or Greta, in any century.

    Question for the veterans:

    I'm looking at gym shirts, many I like have sayings common to the military. No insignia, etc., just expressions. I don't wish to claim something I haven't earned, just inspiration. Would this offend, or not? Thanks, carl

    Antelope!

    Well this could be interesting. Could also go in the humor section. After 17 years I drew an Utah Antelope tag. It will have been 3 years since my last trip. My support team seems willing for another round. Now I need to pick a rifle, and load! On the gate! Let her buck!
