Couldn't agree more! That lower limit would extend the reliable expansion range in a 260 from 980 yards to about 1240 if you go off the 1600 fps minimum of the Berger's compared to these. Now having said that, the energy is quite low, but I would think it would still be enough for something...

"Designed with an optimum performance window ranging from 3,200fps to 1,300fps" "AccuBond®-LR allow it to expand rapidly for effective energy transfer and significant tissue damage while retaining sufficient weight to ensure deep penetration into the vitals." Two of the more significant...

For a rifle that will be used for hunting I don't like to go below 2lb's. In fact I like about 2.5lb's for a hunting rifle. At times I think we use an ultralight trigger to make up for poor mechanics.....you can still have a smooth and accurate trigger pull with something that doesn't break if...

Hey Winmag....well I'm originally from Grant Co. so near you, but I currently live in Beaverton.....and yes, I hate it, but it's where the job is. I was actually down near Silverton on my in-laws farm. Pretty good place to shoot....nobody around to bother me and lots of space. I've got a...

Thanks.....I was actually shooting much slower....just edited out the dead time so it was a shorter video. Specs on the rifle....it's my elk hunting rifle that I've been working on building up. It's a Remington 721 chambered in 300 H&H, 26" factory barrel 1:10 twist. Original stock but glass...

Well, here's a couple of video's from the weekend. I was working up a new load with 168gr Berger VLD's and found a decent one using IMR 4350 that gave me a surprising velocity of 3255 with a SD of 16. That was about a 100 fps faster than I was hoping for so I was a happy camper. Had a few...

Thanks for the welcome. I'm headed out today to do some shooting and to play with my new HD video camera so hopefully I'll have some interesting video to share with you all this evening! Should be a fun time if nothing else, although it's rather windy this morning so far. Oh well, I guess you...

Hello all. My name is Tim and I've become addicted to shooting things at long range.....gun) Been lurking and reading for awhile and thought I'd finally join the group. I'm originally from Eastern Oregon but currently live on the west side of the state (unfortunately). Grew up hunting and...
