@asherbonaventure, What cartridge options do you have to pick from? What is the average weight of these boars? What country are you hunting in? For the USA, I use an expanding bullet primarily, especially the Hornady A-Max or ELD-M. Barrel lengths have been from 15 inches to 16 inches. This last...

First of all, everything ran good to around 1200 yards or to 1100 yards, and then things went wonky at 1200. For hunting it sounds like you are set, so that is great. The majority of LR hunters I know don't kill game beyond 1100 yards, yet I know some that do it it on a far more regular basis...

Four shot group at 100 yards with my 15.9 inch 6.5 PRC rear grip specialty pistol. 142 grain LR AB’s. Three of them are in a really small cluster at the bottom, and I’m not sure if it was me or not on the one that’s about a half inch off. I have to confirm that. I know, from other hunters...

Let me add to what I said in my previous post. Your ballistic coefficient is not a fixed number. It changes with speed

@jeepinhntr There could be, a number of different things of why the drops are off, and none of them may be related to your bullet, or any other brand of bullet. It could be the wind(s) that you had that day, combined with the terrain. Head and tail and or quartering tail and headwinds, can...

If we are only talking antelope, whitetail, and mule deer, I am going with the ELD-M's, and any old A-Max's (It's predecessor) I might have. They Kill Good

Sounds like you are doing the majority of your hunting by walking, is that accurate? If so what kind of set-up s do you have for sitting, kneeling, and standing shots? Rifle, chambering, scope??? Did you see a good number of animals? Assuming deer???

One bullet for hunting... I can't decide right now. The LR AB would likely be up there because it is softer than the AB, good BC, and has a lower minimum impact velocity than most other bonded bullets. I am starting off with slower MV's than most for the chambering, and the possibility of me...

8mm Remington Mag? 220 SGK G1 BC .521 Nosler 200 grain AB G1 BC .450 At a 500 yard Max you can run the 200 grain AB quite a bit faster, and your bullet should hold up fine. Things are pretty easy out to 5, when you want minute of kill zone unless the conditions are horrid The 220 gr SGK will...

How far is LR hunting for this rifle?

I have used 30 cal 180 Game Kings on several elk (7.82 Patriot/Lazzeroni cartridge in a XP-100). They worked good and were very accurate Never killed anything with a 8mm though

We are gifted group of ENABLERS for sure. 😇

Erik was using a light one handed hold-Good memories with that video! Thanks. I am setting up for a hunt in South Africa in the summer of 2026, and I want a more heavily constructed bullet than the M, although I love that bullet for big game through mule deer size. Elk if I limit myself to...

Erik was using a light one handed hold-Good memories with that video! Thanks.

That is our son, Erik after he just turned 17, a little over 13 years ago. Remington brass, that had been lightly neck turned, and all the other things you would do to cheap brass to make it better, H-1000, Fed 210M's, and the 162 Grain A-Max. Later in that year he took a antelope with it at...

My First 7mm SAUM XP-100

For SA my shots will not be over 500 yards. But, I have had serious winds the last time (on one day hunting a Blesbuck) I was there, so a reasonable BC is important. The 168 LR AB G1 BC @ .616 and the 160 LRX .608 G1 BC. I could go with the 175 grain LR AB with a .648 BC, but I will need to...

The 168 LRAB The 175 LRAB The 160 gr LRX I have the most bullets on hand above. I am going to start and get my brass fireformed to my chamber with 162 A-Max's. Once I have 100 rounds through it, I will start with either the 168 LRAB or the 160 LRX

Another Work of Art from Michael DeLoach at Nine Run Gun. 7mm SAUM Sub 16” 8-T Brux barrel Holland Radial Baffle brake. Borden Alpine clone XP-100 single-shot action Dell Trigger McMillan Stock. I have new Norma brass. Still trying to figure out what bullet I’m going to use😇

That Is Way Sweet!
