The poor experiences were with SST's at 300 to 400 yards. Even at 2000fps, you'd find fragments a foot away from the entry point, lots of mess inside, and no exit. Perhaps Berger’s are less dramatic. It may not be fair to put bergers and SST’s in the same basket just because they claim to create...

This is being conserving with velocity. Likely I'd be about 200fps faster, so a little better SG. Monos are another story..

Thanks all. Lots of good info here. At the end of the day, I'll shoot whatever my rifle likes. With that said, I like a bullet that consistently passes through with a boring golf ball size exit wound. I'm new to elk hunting, but my experience using .243 on deer (which is probably proportional...

That link just goes to the category. Can you send the link to the thread?

Interesting. Mono’s for long distance? It seems like ABLR’s and ELD-X are optimal from a trade off of performance standpoint, but I was wondering if something better is out there 7-800 yards max. 1:8.5 twist.

Looking for all the berger traits( quality, heavier (175-195 range), higher BC) but not bergers. I just can’t get over “2-3 inch penetration, then rapid expansion”. I’m looking for something that keeps most of its weight. Only thing I know of for long-range is ABLR’s, but I’m becoming less than...

Thanks all. Magpul it is!

For those of us who can’t afford an atlas, but want a decent bipod with tilt and notched legs. Any recommendations between these two? https://www.harrisbipods.com/product/s-brm-bipod/ https://magpul.com/bipod-sling-stud-qd.html?mp_global_color=118

I need a 6000 or 7800 for my Kuiu Pro pack. Just the bag, not the whole pack. This.. https://www.kuiu.com/products/pro-bag-verde-camouflage?variant=41634223554718

How’d the harbor freight ones work for you? Wouldn’t expect build quality, but were they at least accurate +\- a thou?

Yeah, did a little web search - they’re fake. Made in china.

Noticed e-bay has mitutoyo 500-196-30 calipers for $50 or so from a bunch of different sellers. Trying to figure out why. Are they knock-offs, or is it a discontinued model or something?

Why a bullet puller? In case you seat too deep?

Good point. I’m just doing 28nos right now. Using data from nosler’s website since reloading manuals don’t seem to list it. Maybe some of the newer editions do.
