H1000

Mine is 678 spike bull elk with 338 rum, oldest sons 578 with 300 rum 6 point bull elk, youngest still has the record 888 yards cow elk 338 rum ,he was 12 when he pulled that off. But he is the better shooter of all of us.

The warden has two sheep the ewe was a 30-06 180 partition , juvi ram was a 6.5-300 weatherby with a 140 accubond, I myself just get to pack them out

Us 869 has been my go to powder in the 6.5-300, I do know others have good luck with rl 33. I just can’t seem to find any and will not tear apart my 26 nosler hand loads to get any. I have used retumbo in 123 absolute hammers driving them to 3485. Accuracy was good. I haven’t tried the 8133 as...

1-8 88 grain us869 140 accubond. I do have some 123 grain absolute hunters that have ran 3486 with retumbo. I believe charge was 82.5 grains.

I have two rifles in that caliber, accumark is not a big fan of being driven fast but 140’s at 3250 are plenty fast. The ultra lite doesn’t seem to mind anything you feed it at any speeds. 140 accubond at 3250, this is entrance hole. Almost certain in my nosler seconds I got a ballistic tip😉

Yes put a 26” heavy barrel krieger on mine. Shoots lights out

As a avid Washington state spike bull hunter I would hunt anywhere else than a spike bull only unit. I see multiple branch antler bulls and cows but very few spikes. Just my opinio. I do believe that you kill young bulls it’s harder to have old bulls.

bergers available by chance

75.5 of h1000 in my a bolts 2825 fps one stainless stalker other medallion. They shoot really good in both.

I have 2 browning a bolts, medallion and stainless stalke. Both shoot sub moa with either 185 Berger vld or classic hunters 78 grains h1000 3050 fps. 210 Berger vld hunting with 75.5 h1000 2850. Might be the powde.

Good luck, once in awhile they are on gun broker. But I have been looking as well.

tagging

I have tried h1000, rl 25 rl 33 vit 24n41, us869, 7828 8133. The clear winner is 8133 in my rifle, gun likes 180’s or 175’s. Nothing heavier. Dunno y just does. 106 grains of 8133 with 180 hammer hunters is 3410 and sub moa. Best I have found

Fortunate enough to fill both my deer tags doe was 306 yards buck was 250 , 6.5-300 weatherby with 140 nosler accubonds. Extremely grateful
