    Are the Eld x bullets that bad

    I've shot a handful of mule deer from 150-400 yards wwith 200gr ELDX and no concerns noted, I also have one longer range kill on an elk at 800 yards and it dropped dead in its tracks. through the lower blade of the shoulder and tore through the heart... didn't recover the bullet but the heart...

    Your pheasant hunting experiences/bird numbers this past season?

    I have seen huge depletion in bird numbers over the last 10 years primarily due to loss of CRP, and all the haying/cropping of PLOTS land and USFWS easements due to loose regulations on how they're allowed to manage those areas. ND got hit hard 08-13 on winters and then habitat loss right after...

    Rifle banged around, thoughts on zero hold?

    I fell down a slippery ravine in the badlands once and tumbled about 120 yards, broke the wooden stock on the rifle, bought new stock, and scope was still on... its all luck, either way if given the chance I check it.

    Looking for a New Gun

    Have you looked at Cooper? in the price range, some good caliber selection and fires sub MOA guarantee out of the box.

    ELD-X vs Accubond

    I shoot 200 gr. ELD-X for my 300 Win Mag. I shot an Elk last year at 800 yards and it didn't make it 20 yards. A moose was shot with them 2 years ago at 280 yards and it made it 50 feet tops. I have also shot 3 deer with it from 150-400 yards, and have killed all of them within 50 yards of...

    DIY West Texas Aoudad success with Desert Tech

    More curious to how they taste, I don't necessarily see them tasting very good. Anyone with advice let me know. I'll be in TX in a few months for a hog hunt and have an option of adding one of these. thanks

    For Trade- TS Customs 300 WM

    straight up $$, how much? I have enough guns to trade, but not much as far as custom goes that would be comparable.

    Which 300 Win Mag

    I would stay away from christensen arms all together, I have seen to many bad groupings come from them. I know when they're good, they truly are, but 1 in 5 sold have seen returned due to concerns and these are solid shooters, so 20% failure rate is pretty **** poor if you ask me

    .300 win mag barrel length and twist...

    http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/ If you want to do some calculations before going all the way in. I have a 1:10 twist on a 26" barrel and have great stability, but there are many factors so maybe this site can help. I would agree with most that 1:9 is probably the most...

    Is too stable a problem?

    It doesn't mention twist in the posed question, so not sure where you're going on that.... http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/ But it definitely factors in twist of barrel on SG...
