300WSM - RL26 and 180 AB/BT is my most accrate load. Good place to start.

Count me / us as a fan of the BT/AB bullets. 6mm - 90/95gn, 6.5mm - 140gn, 270 - 150gn, 30 - 180gn, 338F - 200gn. We have had much success with the BT. This is our goto bullet for most of our loads. As I look at this - we use heavy for cal BT bullets in all but one long range rifle of my son's.

Hey - Songdog, I agree 99% of your last post about the "right" bullet getting the job done. Most of the elk I've taken have been with a .277 140AB / 150PT. Very close to a 6.5 140xx, so we are on the same page. In Idaho I could be in the timber / brush after elk. I have not pulled the trigger...

What I was refering to by "Hype" is the Creed being compared to the 30 cals for Elk. Been hunting elk out west here since '82. We've taken one 6pt bull and a few cows with the 260. All less than 100yds. Worked great. I will take a cow when carrying a tag while deer hunting with what ever...

My father passed down to me his Rem 700 in 264WM he purchased in 1969 ish. He used that gun ever since and I purchased same 264 in a Win 70 back in 1990. Move forward to 2005 and I purchased a Rem Mtn SS in 260 Rem and gave to my son when he turned 12y. Move along to 2016 and I buy a 6.5x284...

I converted my RCBS Trimmer by taking the handle off and usng a cordless drill chucked up to the shaft. Variable speed - SLOW and whala - power trimmer. Makes that step go much smoother and faster. You don't want to spin the cutter at hi speed and create heat. I've not used the Cam Lock so I...

I just got that G20 back from my brother and a little cleaning and its back as my woods carry here in Idaho. Still has that 6" KKM on it.

One of the more important tools on my bench.

I just purchased a Christensen in the 6.5CM and using the 129 ABLR I have 6 diff loads with 3 powders ready for the range. For me this will be deer gun out to where I'm comfortable and paper and rocks beyond that. When I run the numbers the 129 appears to beat the 142 due to the added velocity...

My Savage really likes RL26 and 180BT / AB, the Sako 85 does also. RL17 isn't too bad.

Our Whitetail herd has taken a pretty good hit these last few years. Disease, predators and some hard winters. What was once a 300+ deer seen driving during winter on the open hill sides is now 0 to10 deer. I saw the same doe and her twin fawns at the gate each day out and no more. Years...

338 Win - 338 Federal - 300 RUM - 300 WSM - 7mm RM - 270 WSM - 264 WM - 6.5x284 Norma - 6.5 Creedmoor - 243 Win - 22-250 Rem - 223 Rem - 22 LR - 17 WSM - 17 HMR …. Most are still here but a couple are gone. 28 Nosler is on my mind...

I now have my G40 and purchased a KKM 7" barrel. I've put an Optic sight on it and this week end will be the first shooting it in this configuation.

My focus this year will be with handguns, 44Rem Mag and 10MM. But I will work with my 6.5CM and 338 Federal .

I broke down and picked up the G40 yesterday. We'll call it an early Xmas present. I had $600 of it saved and the rest my wife said "Merry Xmas ..... Oh by the way.. Your getting me .......... for Xmas". Well played on her part. Ha I grabbed the American Eagle ammo to shoot today but still...

How are you liking that G40? I'm getting ahead of my self and bought some Fed Prem ammo. Wanting to get the G40 SOON!!

So Cool!! Congrats!

Looks like a good year!

Nice Buck!!

+1 on the 55gn BT - best grouping
