  1. No , bearing buddies are just spring loaded cups that keep the bearings packed with grease , you remove the caps on your hubs and replace them with the bearing buddies. As far as I have seen the EZ/Sure… etc ….. “ there’s multiple manufacturers” you can flush the hubs with fresh grease because there is a vent/path for the grease to flow through the hub and back out again
  2. Some like the two mentioned are , but others that have the same designation are not . Like 4350 or blue dot . Hogdson 4350 is also known for being very temperature insensitive , I’m not sure if the other 4350’s have that magical ability. Could be but I’ve never investigated it Hogdson seems to have the rights to the lions share of powders today. Winchester 296 and H110 are also supposed to be the exact same thing in a different bottle. I guy who used to work at Winchester when they still actually owned the powder company once told me that you never knew exactly what you were going to get when you were shooting to make a certain burning rate . Sometimes they would miss the mark by enough that they couldn’t sell it as what they were trying to make . Then they would use it in there own ammo or sell it to another ammunition manufacturer. This was when I was a kid so hopefully there techniques are better today.
  3. It’s honestly about shot placement as long as you can get the required penetration. The bullets we have today are much better. I’ve seen deer gut shot with all manner of rifles that hunters never recovered. And many shot with a bow that never made it past 100 yards. When I was a kid one of my dad’s friends was the first guy I ever met that was a handgun hunter . He used a 6” Python, and I don’t remember him ever not recovering a deer he shot . He was a good shot and respected the limitations of his chosen tool . A 223 with some of the bullet designs they have today will penetrate a lot of meat for such a little cartridge.
  4. It depends on cartridge and bullet weight, and if you’re looking for a target load or you want the maximum velocity. How important is temperature stability to you? And even after you determine all these things you’ll probably still have three or four choices
  5. This will explain it better than I would. It the newest latest greatest
  6. I resemble that remark. Just got a 6 creedmoor with a fiberglass bbl. I always tell my wife I could be wasting this money at the bar, at least you’ll have my guns to sell when I kick the bucket
  7. Supposedly range in populated areas. At least that was always the stated reason in Mi , it’s government at work . I knew people shooting 500 yards with muzzle loaders years ago.
  8. They are all that is allowed for a rifle in southern Michigan “ straight walled cartridges” . Before they cam up with these shorter straight walled cartridges hunters there were limited to using a shotgun, muzzle loader , or pistol caliber rifle. Although there are some pretty advanced slug guns and muzzle loaders available these seem to be the hot ticket right now for those restricted zones . I don’t remember what the maximum case length is but a 45-70 is illegal in the limited firearms areas of Mi . Local gunshops couldn’t get enough of them the first few years . There’s a couple different calibers they have come out with but the 350 seems to be the latest greatest .
  9. I’ve always liked the sure lube hubs. They use them on decent boat trailers so you can flush the water out of your hubs. They have one zerk in the center and a bleeder channel or holes where you can flush the hub with fresh grease . They should be standard on all trailers You’ll see boating guys hanging a bag under the bleeder hole so they can completely flush the bearings to get all the water out . I would think they would be especially helpful to saltwater guys . In Mi fortunately we don’t have that issue
  10. Well I guess that’s something to look for if I ever need another set . When grease is coming out of the bleeder hole is always how I’ve judged being done
  11. All of the bearing buddies I have ever installed had a bleeder hole so you couldn’t overfill them. Did yours not have them ?
