Glad to hear. My ridgeline creed was not boring right out of the box. Nor was it exciting. I was all kinds of pissed actually. Could tell it kind of wanted to be boring though. Pillars, bedding and some relief work in the barrel channel and at last, it too became boring. Spooky boring...

fremont, 44 grains rl 17 at 2.710 in my daughters bergara, same load in my buddys custom rig and my nephews tikka ctr, avg 2930 in my daughters rifle with 22" barrel. Awesome deer and antelope load, would definately use it on a cow elk in a pinch. Also having very good results with alliant mr...

Should have posted in muzzloader section, my bad

Thanks guys, I was looking for a way to get they muzzleloader bullets without having to throw away the sabots.

Anyone know if the 300 grain ballistic tips for socom and 45/70 are the same as the 300 grain ballistic tip MZ?

Congrats to you both! Love seeing the young ones in the field! Nice rig too, hard to think of a better combo than the 7-08 with a 120 ballistic tip

Long and short actions, depending on cartridge, much like remington 700

Timney is very good. Put a Triggertech on my daughter's HMR, we really like it, very easy install.

Pre64, sorry to hear about your daughters, glad to hear they're hanging tough. Feel free to hit me up if you get in a bind with anything while youre out here, unit 9 aint far from the house! Elkhunter, drew my third choice elk, unit 13 muzzle cow, we hunt it most every year except for the rare...

Nice! I drew a cow tag and my daughter drew deer and javalina

I certainly didn't take it that way, as a hunter and reloader I too am a traumalogist (new word), on game performance is always of interest, I get annoyed with the guys I reload for when they say there was no exit wound yet they don't recover the bullet for me, I want to see what happened! I...

You're probable on to something with the heavier weight/lower velocity, as the name implies these bullets are designed to operate on game at lower impact velocities at longer ranges, I was probaby sabotaging myself by loading full throttle.

I'm glad you guys are having success with them, like I said, mileage may vary and my sample of two is hardly definitive. I guess my post was a long winded way of saying I'll stick with the tried and trues.

Well, let me edit that statement to say that I prefer not to use it on my food anymore. The kids and I were lucky enough to draw antelope this past season, I recently acquired the creedmoor bug and that's what we chose to use. The bucks on the right and left were taken with 129 gr ablr's, rl...

The 129 ABLR's are a pretty good deal from the pro shop. I won't use them on animals anymore but I've been able to get them to shoot very well in several rifles with several different powders. Good bullet for goofing off and busting rocks, smacking steel etc...I think the 120 ballistic tip is...

elkhunternm, I live in Albuquerque but we try to get around some. Are you in Cruces?

Cloverleaf, thanks man, we were both super excited for the opportunity. The New Mexico game and fish introduced about 95 of them into the white sands missile range back in the late 60's I believe. They have been extremely successful and have existed there in huntable numbers for decades...

Thanks for the kind words guys, I get more excited for the kids than I do my own hunts!

Started 2019 with some free range New Mexico oryx hunting, Kayla started hunting big game with me this year, this is her second big game animal 160 yards, 6.5 Creedmoor 127 barnes LRX, one shot. Helping her dad with his broken horn tag, 338-06, 200 gr AB Super proud of this 13 year old young...

I like the 120 BTs with RL17. Getting 3000 fps and excellent accuracy in both my creeds (Tikka CTR and Bergara HMR), load shoots extremely well in my buddies custom also. New hunting load is 125 bulldozer and imr 4350, can get them to 2840 and one hole accuracy.
