    Favourite 30-06-based Cartridge?

    25 Sherman Long action. It’s an AI plus some. 71.5GR capacity in thick Peterson brass

    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    I know they are selling, and it's obvious they don't care to take the step into using girth instead of length for capacity, but long and slender cases are not the way...short and fat kills them in every way, assuming case capacity is the same. If a guy hasn't tried it before, he really needs to...

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    Sorting ABLR’s to the nearest thousandth eliminated flyers for me completely. Now they are predictable with seating depth changes and have been tight on targets, at the short/medium ranges.

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    Just ordered another batch of ABLR for my 6.5 Mega. 129grs and they will be on high speed pursuit, maxed out with regular 130AB’s earlier at 3505fps.

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    Tried ABLR’s last year myself for the 1st time. Results on paper and meat left nothing to be desired.

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    Shoot heavy for caliber if you use the Elite Hunter or Hybrid Target. And I stay off the shoulder. Frangibles aren’t terrible with a higher SD and a lot of mass, but I still prefer Accubonds or BT Hunting. Lately I’ve begun to explore mid weight monos also. So far so good.

    6.5 Creed / 140 Ballistic Tips

    If a rifle won’t group with a BT….. figure out what’s wrong with the setup!

    6.5 Creed / 140 Ballistic Tips

    At that velocity the BT Hunting will be well behaved, predictable and boringly precise as usual!

    6.5 Wby RPM 140 gr Solid Base

    I don’t understand the re- release of a bullet that expands and penetrates exactly like a current offering, is it just nostalgia? Or are they trying to sell to the guys that are scared to use “Ballistic Tips” from the reputation of the early version maybe?

    6.5 Wby RPM 140 gr Solid Base

    Looks like a beautiful death awaits. What is different about the SB jackets, compared to BT Hunting?

    129gn ABLR

    I’ve been considering running these in my 6.5 Mega, or the 142gr. Or the 130gr AB.
