Is a 300 overkill for a whitetail?

Muzzle brakes are great, but the people arround you may disagree and want you to go to a diffrent indoor range

@Winnie37a Personally I prefer 7mm Reminton Magnum for deer/elk.

Odd choice

Why?

Its literally half a millimeter bigger than 6.5 mm creed

270win is more popular for such game

I just know the round better and can consistently get good groupings with it.

7mm good round

Good zaps

I use 270win

I use ^ or 6.5 freedomore

7mm is a good round though

Ugh. Anyone have any knife sharpening tips? It seems that whenever I sharpen my knives they feel more dull afterwards than before. It makes me discouraged

Maybe it's the sharpener??

I really don't know.

I use a Smith's but I hope to get a whetstone

My knives just aren't as sharp as I'd like them. I've never had a knife that is sharp enough to shave with

Sharpen at a 23° angle on a whetstone with honing salution on the blade edge.

That will guarantee a sharp and long lasting blade.

What's a good whetstone?

Idk much about them.

Any stone will do

Just make sure you have a roughstone, medium stone, and very fine stone.

The fine stone should feel like marble.

The rough like concrete

The rough and medium stone should be large, the fine stone should be about an inch and a half by 5 or 6 inches so you can easily manipulate it as it will be used to make circles while the large ones will be used in a push motion.

You manipulate the blade with the large stones but manipulate the stone with the fine stone.

You can also buy machines to do it automatically.

Ah I see

How do the ratings match with the numbered ratings?

I know there are 1000 and 6000

It varies depending on the country

I use a 900, 1000, 5000, 8000, and 16000 stone.

You can buy double sided ones.

I also own a chalk stone

Oh

Is it more coarse the smaller it is or the bigger it is?

Well shit

Smaller the number the more course it is.

I've only been using a fine stone all this time!
