    6mm / .243 Deer Bullets

    Looking for your opinions. What is your favorite deer bullet in the 6's? Is DRT performance unrealistic in this small caliber? This will be my first season with little bullets. FYI I'm loading for a hunter rifle in 6x47 Lapua with an 8 twist Bartlein 4-groove barrel. Thanks Sent from my...

    When to be satisfied

    Yep you're done IMO. That velocity difference is not distinguishable on game. Spend time practicing with that load. I would add that mathematical load development as you suggest in your op isn't a valid or safe approach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Over sized firing pin hole?

    Interesting thread. I'm no expert at reading primers either, but I've never had one that looked like the one on the left. Had many like the one on the right out of many rifles. You mentioned it could be glare in the pic. Could you post a better pic of that primer / cartridge comparison or one...

    I never understood why they faded away??? Seemed like a good cartridge to me, the few times I shot one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7mm-08 / 150gr ABLR Combo for Deer

    I really think you misread or misunderstood my post. Actually there was no assumption or conclusion of any kind. My opening post was simply a question of concern over varmint bullet-like behavior aka blowing up at extreme velocity...like inside 350 yards from 7STW. The concern is based on the...

    7mm-08 / 150gr ABLR Combo for Deer

    I will start some load development this week in my 7mm-08s. I have been told that the 150gr LRABs like to be at least 0.040" off the lands and tend to perform best with the slower powders. For example 4831 and RE19. I don't have these at my disposal right now so I'll try IMR4350. Sent from...

    Your post is incomprehensible. But, since it's my post, maybe you should take your own advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7mm-08 / 150gr ABLR Combo for Deer

    Wow. I wouldn't have expected pass through at those distances. But I have no first hand experience so that expectation is unjustified. One of my 7mm-08s is 26" varmint contour Rem700 so might be a good combination of velocity and performance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7mm-08 / 150gr ABLR Combo for Deer

    I have on hand a bunch of the 7mm 150gr Accubond Long Range variety bullets. I purchased these initially thinking of taking advantage of the high b.c. in my 7mm RM or 7mm STW for deer at longer ranges. However based on the limited intergoogle reports, it is my impression they may just behave...

    I really appreciate and enjoy the feedback. I'll keep these 120s inside 300 yards. Sounds like I'll be safe that way. Should work out just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
