The threads I get tired of are the ones on a topic that I think will be a great wealth of knowledge for me and then, before the end of Page 1, it turns into a bunch of 13 year old girls arguing about the stupidest things. Can't you guys take that crap offline? It happens Every Single Time.

I appreciate the insight. I definitely have no expectation of a DRT shot every time as that's just not realistic with any bullet. Learning where to shoot to increase those odds was what I was after and you answered it. I have a video of an elk I double lung shot with a NAB and it just stood...

To get "dropped in their tracks" performance out of the Hammers, where are you guys hitting them (deer specifically)? I notice in the majority of conversations about bullet effectiveness, that very important factor is often left out. I'm planning to whitetail hunt on my 6 wooded acres this...

Just to follow up a bit if anyone ever does a search for something like this, I loaded up some 140gr Barnes Match Burners with 40gr of RL17. These averaged 2,480 fps out of my 20" Tikka barrel, which previously had 0 rounds through it. I also fired 4 rounds of 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip...

Thanks for the input guys. I have some 120's and 140's that I was going to use for barrel break-in. Those two should give me enough data to interpolate what the 130's would do and I can go from there. Sounds like at my ranges, any will be fine. For hunting, I'm sure velocities will remain...

I just picked up a Tikka T3X Lite Compact (20" barrel) in 6.5 CM for my 12 year old. Since reloading components are fewer and further between these days, I thought I'd ask the question here instead of throwing time/money at it first. Does anyone have experience comparing the wind bucking...

Thanks guys. I’ll stick with the node I’ve found and play with the seating depth until I’m happy. I appreciate the couple extra sets of eyes on this as it’s a new method of load development for me and I want to make sure I’m doing it right.

I’m trying to work up a load for the 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tip/Accubond in my 6.5 PRC. I group them together because my thought is that they are the same weight and have the same BC, so, in theory, the same load should work for both. Obviously I will confirm, but I’m working up the one that is...

There's some pretty awesome deals online at Scheels right now if you're looking for boots.

Sold.

I have 316 Berger VLD Hunting bullets (140gr) for sale for a 270 cal. $100 Shipped.

Yes they are! Sorry for the delay...
