    25/06-115 gr Berger VLD Hunting help

    I'm shooting a Ruger No. 1 with a 10 twist and it will put 3 under a dime at 100 yds. I'm using IMR4831 new remington brass and CCI 200 primers. It's nasty at 3200 fps. Maybe try a powder change? I'm not using anything fancy by any means and it's shooting bugholes. I'll get distance off the...

    How far out will you kill an elk by yourself?

    I'll do 3-4 miles but it really depends on terrain. Rolling flat desert I'll go 3-4. Parachute drop canyons on the Colorado plateau or Wyoming death drops, a mile is enough to make a grown man cry. Especially on the 3rd trip.

    6.5 CM 124 Hammer Hunter Elk Necropsy

    Looking at your photos, did the bullet travel down the length of the body and stop in the hindquarters? We shoot the 124s in my son's Creedmoor too, and it's been a great deer bullet. We haven't used it for elk. Oddly enough he's killed his elk with a 308! 180 grain Elite Hunter at 2640 fps. One...

    7828 ssc what can i expect

    Works fantastic in my 300 Wby with 180 grain Accubonds. 3200 fps and 5/8" groups at 100 yds. The ssc gets a little more velocity than the standard cut for whatever reason but it's only like 26 fps. Enjoy it!

    SOLD/EXPIRED Weatherby Vanguard 270win

    I get 3030 fps avg with Retumbo out of one of my 270 WSM w/24.5" barrel. 170 Berger EOL. And 2844 fps from my 270 win with Rldr 26. 165 ABLR. This is a 23" barrel. I can go faster with both but accuracy starts to open up. These are both .50-.60 moa out to 800 yds. I've shot my wsm to 1300 yds...

    SOLD/EXPIRED Weatherby Vanguard 270win

    I do. I converted two of them about 5 years back. Gamechanger! It's the best western hunting rig I own. I rarely shoot my 300 mag anymore. 165s and 170s with BC above .650s are not only flat wind defying missiles, they hit hard and penetrate like a hot knife through butter. Like I said I'm...

    270WSM Handloads

    With Nosler brass and CCI 250 primers I've had great luck with 5 different 270 wsm with Rldr 17 and 140 grain Accubonds. 59 to 60 grains will get you 3200 fps. 0.4 moa and smaller. 61.3 grains of H4350 with Sierra 135 match will shoot 3 into one hole. Sub 0.3 moa. 61 grains of Rldr 17 will print...

    6.5 prc elk poll, round 3!!

    As a guide we have seen a massive switch to 6.5 over the past 5 years. We have a 2 to 3 shot norm on both cow and bulls. No matter what the numbers say I'll take a 30 cal hole or bigger every day over a 257 or 6.5. 20+ elk and I have yet to see one drop in its tracks with a 6.5. I have thought...

    Traditional mushroom or shedding petals

    I too shoot Hammers, Barnes and lately McGuire copper roses all in search of the best mono metal that kills like lead. Lately, and I don't know if Barnes changed, but I notice the LRX have been shedding their petals with hard impacts. McGuire shows and advertises perfect beautiful rose type...

    6.5 prc elk poll, round 3!!

    Actually just got back from a cow hunt. We did great. Big cow 450-500 lbs. 388 yds with a 168 ABLR out of a 308 win 22 inch barrel. 2700 fps. Text book double lung with golf ball size exit. She went 10 feet and died. Sometimes they aren't hard to kill. That's a 200 lb plus mule deer buck in the...

    6.5 prc elk poll, round 3!!

    I would love to see a picture of that cows carcass myself! And the autopsy pics to see where 800 grains of bullets went into a chest cavity and never hit anything vital or lethal enough to kill her. That's one cyborg terminator cow! 💪💪
