    7mm08 elk

    145 or 150 grain speer hot cor does very well at 7-08 velocities. Problem is speer seems to make even fewer bullets than nosler anymore. killed two elk last year with the 7-08 and 150 ballistic tips, one at 40 yards and one at 420, perfect both times. Need more ballistic tips...

    Light bullets in the 6.5 Creedmoor

    As others have said, the 120 BT is money. I'm currently loading the 123 grain sst in my daughters bergara at about 2850 fps. It's an extremely accurate bullet, but seems a little squishy on game, not really surprising as I believe it was designed for the grendel cartridge. It's fantastic for...

    Prvi Brass??

    Good stuff. I've used it in 6.5x55 and 7-08. It's the only new brass I've used for my 7-08. Seems to withstand irresponsible doses of staball 6.5 and mag primers better than the once fired remington brass I had on hand. Nearing the third load cycle on the first 50 pieces I bought, we'll see...

    Quickload Request

    Thank you sir! blc2 and creed aren't a popular combo but figured it had some potential with the lighter stuff.

    Enough for elk?

    been having good results in my tikka 7-08 with staball and 150 partitions. I use the m+ creedmoor mags and have enough room to reach the lands with noslers, currently running the partitions 20 thou off. I'd use the 7-08 on anything, buddy of mine's daughter killed 2 oryx with some 140...

    Sig brass

    Thanks, figured it was probably decent. I'll see if I can wear some out and report back.

    Sig brass

    Any opinions on sig brass? Scrounged a bunch of empty creed cases off a guy the other day, wondering how it compares to other brands.

    Ballistic Tip vs Accubond Long Range

    My 150 ablr experience mirrored PJGunner, just couldn't get them to work in my 280, think I ended up giving what I had left to Fotis for the price of shipping years ago. Used the 129 ablr in a creedmoor for one hunt, extremely unimpressed, varmint bullet performance. I used what I had left...

    Ethics

    hmmm, pondering. Notion struck me in elk camp last weekend. Suppressed is the way and the light, once you start it's a rabbit hole, but it is a number one. Earlier this summer I cut and threaded the barrel on my uncle's old remington 722 300 savage to 20", converted to 700 bottom metal and...

    Do you suppose I might burn in hell if I put a can on a ruger #1?

    120 Ballistic Tips in 6.5 Creed

    not sure that the jacket is any thicker on the 6.5 version. We've used them on deer and antelope with outstanding results. Usually just shy of 3000 fps in the creed, much better killer than the 129 ablr, which I hate. You won't be disappointed.

    7mm-08 and the new 150 AccuBond

    Didn't know they were making one. That would be a sweet elk bullet for the 7-08. 120 Bt's for deer and 150 AB for bigger stuff. I need another 7-08

    Hammer Bullets

    I've been loading the 110's in a couple of creedmoors this summer, they shoot really well and velocities are up there. We'll try them on some antelope and deer this year, see how they do. Played with the 124's a bit but haven't been able to match my gmx loads for accuracy yet. Might order a...

    Bighorn Ewe?

    Like coop says, theres a reason the tags are available, put in for em. I'm one of the fortunate few to have been blessed with a ram tag in my lifetime, it was an amazing experience but it did alter my outlook on big game hunting to some extent and certainly my attitude about "trophies". It was...

    Is the .30-06 that much better than my .280 Remington

    Warms my heart to hear folks speaking kindly of the good old 280. A hundred years ago when I was 15 my dad told me he would go halfers with me on a new rifle if I would hand my 308 down to my little brother to start hunting with. I immediately told him I needed the new remington 700 mountain...

    2020 SEASON

    The kids and I have three cow tags between us, all different weekends of course...antelope doe tags all around, I finally drew coues deer again, very stoked about that. In lieu of a midlife crisis this year my goal is to hunt doves or quail at least one day every week that I'm not chasing big...

    100 grain or 120 gr. 6.5 BT's for WT's ?

    Another vote for 120 ballistic tips. Awesome deer bullet in the creed, my daughter has taken two antelope and six deer with them, ranging from 80 to 200 yards, perfect performance every time. 130 accubond would be good too, I'll be loading those for my coues deer hunt this year. I've had...

    Blood-trailing with dogs

    In much of the U.S. it is strictly prohibited to use dogs to hunt big game. Most states put heavy regulations on the use of dogs to locate wounded game, I believe it is to prevent people using dogs to locate/pursue unwounded critters. I live in New Mexico, and up to about a year ago dogs had...

    Your Favorite Elk rifle?

    Killed my last eight elk with TC Omega 50 cal, 300 grain nosler MZs, it's by far my favorite elk rifle, scratches, broken front sight post, somehow there's permanent mud stains on the stock, reminds me of the mountains every time I pull it out of the safe. It looks like hell but the bore is...
