I shot two deer with a 90 hht in a 6mm creedmoor. I will say the bloodtrails were notably better than a regular hh. The hht seems to expand quicker and they seem to expand better on low resistance tissue. Just my observation from my two. A friend has been using a 75 hht in a 243 with very good...

I’d take a 6mm remington over a 243 personally because I like the cool factor of it plus I think it’s a better design we cartridge than a 243. Not much difference between a 243,6mm remington and a 6mm creedmoor. I shoot a 6mm creedmoor and it accounted for five deer last season. I liked using...

In my 6mm creedmoor i shoot a 87 vmax and 88 hammer hunter and I have shot these two loads side by side and have noticed no difference. Could be my specific instance though. They utilize the same power and charge weight even, they're literally identical loads in every way except the bullet. Try...

I’ve shot 4 deer this year with the 88 hammer hunter out of a 6mm creedmoor and it does a dandy job on them from 30 yards to 460 yards. H4350 would be my powder of choice. I’m getting 3380 fps with 44gr of h4350 in a 28” barrel. Start low and work up with caution. Load data is available on the...

Nice shooting.

I watched part of one episode of their podcast and it felt too much like an advertisement than an educational thing. Hornady makes a fine varmint bullet and they’re good at keeping them in stock that’s where my involvement with hornady ends really.

Absolutely it would. I’m sure if I put the word out on some local classifieds I could find one. For a hefty sum.

Three come to mind. First is a number 1v 25-06 I had the opportunity at for $600 when I was 14 Second was another number 1v in 6mm Remington. The bidding went $50 above what I had on me and I had to let it go The third is a lgs grices was running a special browning a bolt micro hunter and one...

I have large fingers so I was worried about my thumb being able to fit under the scope for the hammer. But to my surprise it is quite accessible and my scope is mounted in low mounts to boot so it’s not a huge issue.

I shoot a high wall 6mm creedmoor. The hammer has a half cock notch and automatically cocks on opening, you have to manually let down the hammer. I am actually looking to add the same rifle you are to my collection, the highwall with a 28” barrel is not light but it’s not overly long either. I...

I use milk jugs like this alot. It’s it very realistic practice to just throw them out in a field and go to shooting. I use gallon jugs for my big game rifles and 1/2 gallon or 2 liters for varmint guns. I can tell you after 350 yards they become difficult to hit on windy days.

Wow some impressive shots taken here congrats to all. Color me impressed.

125 is a heck of a shot with a 12 gauge and opens.

Hey nothing embarrassing about 382 yards!

I too practice all summer on groundhogs. They’re my favorite animal to hunt. My longest is 512 on a woodchuck.
