Way too overbore for me. I absolutely love all things 7mm mag, but I wouldn't even bother with it honestly. They can be quite finicky to load for and get consistent accuracy and barrel life on something like that is not going to be good at all. 7 RUM I had in a Sendero was super picky and...

"If" they decide to shoot in your rifle, I'd have no worries from them on elk. They should be a hammer 🔨

Here are all the ladders for review. 8 total, with 4 powders (IMR4895/H4895/Benchmark/IMR8208XBR) and 2 bullets (75/80 ELDMs) Shot at 300 yards. Rifle looks like it definitely prefers the 75s, so I'm just going to concentrate on the 75s from here on out and sell or trade the 80s for more 75s. I...

I have the little spiral notebooks for each of my centerfires. I have the build specs of the rifle, virgin/fired case specs, and bullet ogive/land specs on the first couple pages. Then I keep track of how many rounds fired, range, MOA/Wind correction, date, temp, wind speed, and any other notes...

What's the velocity on that anyway?!

Love it! Great shooting on a little speed goat!!! And from a pistol none the less, amazing what you do with those Ernie.

I've used the AMAX/ELDM the last 15 years for all my big game hunting. However, my shots are typically 300+ where the impact velocities are lower, and that's where they start to shine. They are a highly frangible bullet, but no more so than the beloved Berger VLDs. Up close you definitely want...

Impressive! That little 75g ELDM is a dandy bullet from the 223

Leaning more towards the 6.5-300 just for the simple fact it would see elk, and I'm not a huge fan of 25 cal for elk, nor really even 6.5s for that matter. However I do realize the 6.5 is by far the better choice over the 257 because of the heavier bullets and the extra horsepower. If elk wasnt...

If you ever make it over to Hermiston, just let me know! I've heard IMR4198 is kind of a unicorn powder these days, but I honestly don't have any other rifle/use for it. It was always strictly for my triple deuce. And since I just rebarreled that rifle to a long range 223, IMR4198 really serves...

Great interview. I love the part where Adam says "Well I don't hunt with the 6.5 Creed" 🤣 But on a more serious note, this has got me looking into another Weatherby, more than likely another Vanguard, but I'm thinking 257 WBY or 6.5-300 WBY with a 4-14x Leupold for a lighter packing rifle for...

I've got 4# of IMR4198 you can have if you can figure out a way to get it from Oregon 🤣

IMR4198 and a 40g VMAX was what I used in my R700. 3500fps and 1/4-3/8 MOA every time from a bench at 100 yards. Was a great little dog calling rifle. Killed probably 30 or so with it over the years.

Thanks for the good laugh Jim 🤣

Well I took my Rem 700 222 to the smith yesterday morning to do some work and just picker her up tonight. What started out as an early 700 ADL is now a long range trainer in 223 Wylde set up specifically for the 80g ELDMs. It served its purpose for many years as a calling rig for coyotes...

Good stuff! I've also ran similar tests at 50/100/200/300 yards with about 10 different match loads. It gets pretty interesting past 100 just an FYI...Some stuff that shoots 1 hole groups at 50 doesn't always shoot good at even 100 yards, let alone 200/300. It's a super fun way to spend a day at...

We used the 180g NBTs for around 10-15 years and probably close to 100 elk, before nosler came out with the 200g ABs and I switched everyone over to it just for the added penetration insurance up close, and the added BC for longer range up there which is typical. The 180g NBTs still worked...

No worries, Ive felt the same way about Nosler the last 10 years. Hornady gets all my money now.

If you're looking for some, I have a 100 of them I need to sell. $120 shipped. Midway still has and shows them in stock for $75/box also.

I don't see how anyone affords to shoot factory ammo at these ridiculous prices anymore. When a box of core-lokts is $40-50 you know it's bad 🤣
