I really wish everyone believed that 215 hybrids don’t kill well. My stash is down to several hundred and I could use more. Send me all of those penciling exploding Berger’s. I will give them a good home. It’s a pointless debate in my opinion. Shoot what you like, leave the Berger’s to those of...

I have run 212 eldx, 208s and 215s. I prefer the 215s. 1-9 twist 28” with h1000 at 3030 ish FPS. 15 elk and 6 mule deer from 50 yds to 800+. It works. Plenty of documented performance with this combo. Not the only way to get it done but we’ll proven. Kyle

I am pushing 215s over 3000 FPS with the obsolete old school belted 300 win mag and h1000. Only shoots less than 1/2 MOA so there’s that. Sorry. Can’t resist. Kyle

This has been really entertaining. I have killed a pile of elk with 215s out of a 300 win. We guided a wounded warrior style hunt on “private ground”. In one year I cleaned up 6 elk that were shot with “hunting bullets” out of everything from .243s to .338s. That was one year. I know many people...

My son killed his first mule deer last night. He is 10 yrs old. The shot was 154 yds prone on a rear bag, deer slightly quartered to us, he put it just forward of the crease and this guy went about 15 yds before giving up. I have 3 boys. I built this 6x47 lapua on a trued up 700 for them to...

Most of us that regularly frequent grizzly country have chosen our sidearms based on a lot of factors. Some of these may be questionable and can be argued to death, literally. I typically hunt horseback with one other individual and my son. We all carry glock 20s. Our rule is the first one to...

I have ran 28” 9 twists Bartlein’s on mine. I don’t know your intentions but I would go with the 9 twist to get all the 215 has to offer. I am north of 3000 FPS with h1000. I would guess a 26” will be above 2900 easily. It’s a great combo. We have killed 12 elk and a pile of deer with this...

I own this reamer and have built 2 rifles wit it. I used the Wyatt box on both r700s and it has worked out very well. H1000 and 215 with this reamer and a good barrel is a hard combination to beat. I have had great luck with ADG brass and win brass with this reamer. Kyle

Where I live we have the ability to set up and shoot on hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. There is a small group of us that meet and shoot an informal cold bore shoot several times a month at different locations. We do not choose weather or wind conditions and we choose target...

I respond to many of these elk type post because I have made this trip around the sun. I am fortunate enough to not only kill my own elk nearly every year but guide or help many others every year kill their elk. Growing up my father was and still is a 300 h&h guy with 200 plus grain bullets...

Having seen less than great results from 6.5 140 class bullets on elk I am a firm beliver that .284 160 class bullets are minimum for elk. I have guided 8 elk hunts so far this year. 7 cows and a bull. Shots from 30 yards to 1070 yards. The only ones I had to clean up were less than 7mm...

It amazes me how a person can find so many similarities in people you have never met. My father was a trapper in Wyoming. He shot a ruger 77v tang saftey swift. At 12 yrs old I saved and bought a Liberty model used 77v tang saftey swift out of Massachusetts from shotgun news. We shoot dogs...

Wyoming sucks. Ive lived and hunted here for 40 yrs. Its terrible. Try Co,Mt, or Ut. Please. Thanks Kyle

I use ADG, switched from Winchester. Its worth the wait in my opinion. Great stuff. Kyle

I think the fun part is to read everyones ideas. At some point it becomes blondes vs brunettes. The neat thing is that we have so many choices to accomplish the task at hand. With the intention of an ethical kill it really does become opinion. I still maintain .308 or bigger:p.
