I agree with the process grifmXC has described. Hence the engineering we benefited from with bullets the last few decades to control expansion and shedding weight. This so that we maintain penetration with out just simply adding weight up front from the start. Some components of the physics...
We finished out Whitetail and Elk seasons with Muzzleloading. I did not pull the trigger at all this season, that's a first !! My hunting buddy had what I can only guess was "Bad" Powder. When he shot at a Cow Elk it sounded like a long phizztboomish. Ha- I don't know how to even describe it...
I picked up a Ridgeline in the 6.5 Creed. I put a Razor LH 3x15 on it. I already had a 6.5x284 Norma in a Savage 116 but figured I try the Creed. I have dies and brass for both. Now for the boring part:
At the range - 50yds bore sighted and took a shot. 1.5" high and right. Shot again and...
I used to own only Leupolds back in the 80's thru early 2000's. Every VariX-II and newer versions of the same would drift and required me to verify ZERO and adj. Some of the VXIII. Used CS couple of times with NO complaints back then. I still own a Leupold VX2 on a Savage 99 but have since...
I agree with the above response. I load (past and present) with this bullet in different rifles and have been as close as .025" and as far as .125" I consider the 100gn PT as a Hunting bullet and am not trying to get a 5 shot group under a dime. If I'm 3 shots in 1" I'm good for how we are...
I used a 270 WSM for 10 years in a Sako 75 Finnlight. I loaded the 140AB and the 150BT. I moved on also to the 300 WSM in a Sako 85 Finnlight. Only cause this is my "Elk" carry rifle. I'm loading 180PT in it.
For the 270 WSM, I would recommend the 140AB if Elk are in the plans. If not use...
My QL does not have the Alliant 2000MR as a powder option. I have installed the latest update.
Maybe it is there under a different name?
I've been curious about the very same thing.
I'll get a pic of both together when the sight gets here later this week.
I understand and fully agree that practice with the 10mm from all possible shooting positions thru out the the year will still be maintained. The 9mm is for the additional hundreds of rounds to be fired.
I have used the Talley 2 piece integral base ring set off/on for years. NO complaints here. If I don't have a Warne set on the rifle it's the Talley set.
+1 on the 338F. I had one in a Sako 85 Grey Laminated and sold it to a friend. I now have one in a Sav 16 with a Houge Rubber Stock. Not pretty but oh I like the feel of that gun in the rain while tip toeing thru the timber. 200 SBT or 210 PT are my handloads but have used 200 Fusion in...
I have a G40 MOS with a Venom sight and just love this gun. I am now considering a G34 Gen4 MOS and put the same Venom on it so I can shoot 9mm for less $$ and recoil and hunt with the 10mm. I know it may sound like an excuse but .......
