A high BC lead core bullet with a solid base that’s bonded. Like a trophy bonded bear claw, or terminal ascent but on par with ELDx BCs when comparing calibers. A lot to ask for but would a great bullet for everything. I guess a tipped berger or Atip hunting could be cool too
do you guys think I'll have adequate stability on the 135gr super bulldozer at 4500 ft or higher? 6:5prc 1in7.5 24" barrel. Have alot of powders available to get good speeds. Rl26, n565, retumbo, magpro, h1000. Tried playing around with stability calculator but without knowing tip length it’s...
Bump, anyone got some new recovered bullets to show? Here's a 150gr hornady interlock shot from a hk91 at about 50 yards into a mule deer. High shoulder shot, found in offside scapula
Here’s a large chunk of jacket from a 156 eol found under the hide of a large mule deer at 550 from a PRC, rest...
Did you try different primers at all? I’ve always been told if experiencing hang fires or large amounts of unburnt powder to try a hotter primer, magnum or military
Are you loaded near max? I’m right at Bergers max, but a grain below nosler max. I never found real pressure other than really minor primer flattening and am running about .5 grain below the hottest load I tested.
You guys have me nervous now, I worked up at 45*. I do all my hunting in fall/winter so I'll likely be okay but I think I better check during summer just in case. I found a chart showing 1.1fps/degree, which is lower than RL25. A ton of dudes run RL25 in magnums and don't sweat the temp...
No pressure issues in a prc, running max loads with very minimal primer flattening. I’m still working on load development but it’s looking really promising
Thanks for the info! I’m gunna order a barrel from carbon 6 before they end the holiday sale. I’ll reach out and make sure they are using the B reamer. Thanks for the info!
Do you have any experience with prefit barrels chambered in one of the Sherman’s? I see that carbon 6 offers a savage prefit in 7ss. I’m sure they are using a reamer from Rich. The more reading I do the less confident I am that a Saami reamed 7saum at 2.960 is really optimal.
