I had one of the best shooting days of my life Super Bowl Sunday! Was playing around at the range with my 22 Creed before the big game and things were going very well in a slight wind all the way out to the 1K gong. I was feeling pretty good about life. I decided before the game to go check on...

That is a heck of an acquisition! Congrats. I really like the 260 AB out of my 375 Ruger. I have smashed a few elk with it....I REALLY LIKE IT! Hope you will as well.

Looks like a ton of promise! It will be interesting to see how it settles out for you after another 50 or so rounds.

I ran Strelok for several years and loved it. After reading a few of Applied Balllistics books about the difference between G1 and G7 drag models, and other things that impacted LR performance. I upgraded to Strelok Pro to try to eliminate a few variables in my shooting system. It was worth...

That looks great! The 22 Creedmoor is one of the more entertaining rifles I own. I have a feeling you'll be quite amused with it as well.

I have played with RL-26 in mine a bit. I tried to get it to shoot the 150 ABLR, but H4831 ended up grouping better. I shoot RL-26 in it now with the 168 ABLR. I believe my charge is 59.4 gr and I'm getting roughly 2940 out of a 24" tube. I had great luck with 7828 and the 160 AB, RL-22 with the...

I was using H4831 with the 88 ELDM. Worked pretty well. I have enough rifles that use RL26 now I buy the 8 pound jugs. It's kinda like unicorn dust around here as well so I stock up when I can.

I would certainly go down that rabbit hole to find out if it is as accurate. If it isn't, stick with what's working.

Thanks, it looks a lot like yours! great minds must think alike! 42gr RL26 in Alpha LRP 22CM brass. I have a long throat in mine, but it shot best with quite a bit of jump. Below is an 800 yard target while I was getting my ballistic program dialed in.

I built one this last winter...hands down one of my favorite rifles. Went 3 for 3 on the 1,200 yard gong last weekend with the 95 SMK doing about 3135 with RL26 out of a 24" 1:7. I tried the 88 ELDM, but the 95 SMK shot better in my rifle at the same speed as my decent load with the 88 ELDM. I...

Jim, That is a fine looking rifle! I'm running the 265 ABLR with 87 gr RL-26 and getting sub .5 moa groups and 2940 fps. I bet you may be able to reach your 3,000 goal with RL-26 if Retumbo doesn't work out for you. I had a good Retumbo load (93.5 or 94gr I can't remember exactly) for the...

I love the 338 WM as an Elk rifle. I have shot several elk with several different bullets. the Barnes 185 XLC (?, the blue coated ones), the 225 AB, the 225 Ttsx and tsx. I have also ran the 225 Ab out of a 338 Edge, and the 250 VLD and 265 ABLR out of the 338 Rum. Out of all those bullets, I...

I have had a handful of 270 WSM. I ended up selling them to buy a 270 Weatherby because I couldn't get the speed I was convinced I had to have. I bought my father in law a 270 WSM a few years ago. It had a 26" inch tube and RL26 had been released since my last 270 WSM. I'm able to safely push a...

I don't have much experience with either one. I don't own a .30 cal, and don't intend to. With that being said, the 30 PRC seems well thought out and would be one that I would spend a lot of time looking at if I were to pick up a 30 cal. I do have a couple of 6.5 SAUM which are pretty close to...

I have tried them in 2 different 6.5 SAUM. I had better luck with Retumbo than I did with H1000. With that being said I was never able to achieve satisfactory results, and I tried hard.

I see no reason for a long action. These are 88gr. ELDM loaded to 2.685". I have plenty of room left in the mag. This length puts the base of the boat tail at the neck/shoulder junction. FYI, a non VLD seating stem will make small indents on the bullet. Switched to a VLD style and the rings went...

This thread is getting my blood pumping. I'm waiting on the action, reamer, and suppressor to get out of jail. Have a bunch of Alpha brass, 200 88gr. ELDM, 24" proof 1:7, and a MDT LSS sitting on the shelf. I plan on going with the 88gr ELDM just because I know they'll expand on yotes and maybe...

I used an adjustable gas block and turned it back a until it didn't feed right, then took it back up half a turn. Has functioned flawlessly every since without eating brass. I'm running 33gr (Nosler listed Max) of CFE223 under a 55gr bt. and I'm getting 3300 out of a 20" tube. I had really good...

I have used quite a bit of CFE 223 in my .223 and my 22 Nosler. I have found that I get great accuracy as well as speed in both. Currently using 33 gr. to drive a 55gr NBT @ 3300 fps out of a 20" 22 Nosler AR. Shoots very well, five shot groups in the .5" range are not uncommon. I have taken a...

Guy, I joined a 6CM facebook group and did some searching around for my load data. Started lower and worked up a bit. I haven't shot the 108 ELDM but the 105 VLD is a hammer on deer. I have Taken a buck with the 147 ELDM out of my 6.5 SAUM, and it worked great! My brother shoots a 6XC with...
