Barnes 130 TSX or TTSX For Varmints try a Sierra 90 grain

I know you did not mention this one but if you can find them the Nosler 160 gr LR Accubond has worked fantastic for me. Still get full expansion down to 1300 fps! Love the 7! Best of luck!

338WM best elk pill ever! 😁

6.5 CM great for animals 300 lbs on the hood and smaller. Throw in elk, game changer. Yes, 6.5 CM will kill an elk but your risking having issues. .284 bullet and up with the ethical amount of energy at any given distance to harvest that animal ethically with one shot is a rule I at least...

6.5x284 is a great caliber. If that’s your only caliber option best to use a deep penetrating bullet. Elk are big animals with heavy bone. 6.5 not really the best option. Good luck

I I would build whichever caliber is most efficient with that short barrel

I would build which ever cartage is most efficient with that short barrel.

260 REM

I shoot both the NAB and NLRAB in 260 REM, 270 win, 7 Mag, 300 RUM. ALL shoot excellent and are fantastic hunting loads. I measure all my OAL’s from the Ogive. I start .05 off the lands and work from there with .5 gm increments in powder.

Check the de primer rod, might be to low and is keeping your brass from really being FL sizing. Back it out and resize, try brass in chamber, if it works you’ll know

270 Win, defiance rebel sheep port action, bench mark bbl with 1:10 twist, IMR 4955 start lower end of powder charge, Nosler 150gr long range accubond. Plenty of horse power

Did you not like the vortex extreme? I did it a few years when they were in Utah

Keep you weight down go lite but everything you need. You can get gel hydration packs work fantastic are light and just follow with water. One gel pack every 30-40 min with water should keep you going

Thank Thank you for that information. Wry helpful. I am doing a build currently and debated Thanks for the info very helpful. I am currently doing a build and debated on carbon vs steel. I stayed with steel. It seemed that the weight of the carbon was no different than a #4 contour...

I’ve tested several different bullets on various animals at various ranges. I refuse to hunt with Bergers after loosing two animals with heat lung hits. I’ve been told that Berger are designed to be placed high shoulder area as to hit spine region as well hence creating that dramatic animal...
