    300 Rum elk rifle

    The Barnes 190 LRX factory loads shot well while braking in the barrel. The 200 LRX group well too, about the same as AB200 and ABLR 210. Figure since I haven't been chewed on yet, donating some meat to the bears should buy me a little more time. Saw more Griz tracks than deer yesterday.

    Why no bonded version of the ELD-X?

    Shot a cow couple weeks ago with the 210 ABLR from my 300 rum at 250yards. She was broadside on the first shot, put a second in her while she was quartering away. Entered posterior left ribs, traversed the chest cavity, broke the right shoulder bone in the thickest part and exited neck./chest...

    300 Rum elk rifle

    forgot to mention my AB groups yesterday i used a 3.600 and 3.585 lengths. didn't see much difference. Going to mess with the LRX some more next week. Not sure about the "monster recoil" with the 300 rum. Mine shoots like a dream with the factory brake.

    300 Rum elk rifle

    Went to the range every day this week! lots of late nights in the shop prepping. With 91gr of retumbo, 3 shots, 2 holes touching with 200 AB's. Then it all went to $hI!. The next 3-4 shots groups were all over the place. My torqued and loctite (blue) talley rings loosened up. Re-torqued and...
