    Which Thunderbeast?

    JJ, how does that dominus do on the 300 rum? I also have a Dominus and love it on my 6.5 prc but always wondered how it would handle a big boomer like 300 rum.

    Which short action magnum?

    What powder do you shoot out of that 300 saum imp mike? Also what barrel length? I have h4350, 5lbs of rl16, but also wonder about vhit 555 with that 185 juggernaut. thanks

    Rifle/cartridge choice for daughter

    raudy, I worked up a load of 4895 with that 120 ballistic tip at about 2800fps. My son shot his first elk at 60 yard angling away. The bullet went through the guts and punched a baseball sized hole out just behind the left shoulder. That bullet kills way above its pay grade.

    Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor freebore

    I have a one and the freebore is just right for the 147eld I want to shoot. I know Tikka freebore is too long for a lot of vld type bullets in this particular cartridge. I have only tried the 147 but I think the 135 berger Classic hunter or the 139 scenar would do well in this freebore due to...
