Good looking Buck! Congrats!

I can handle recoil, but I would prefer to not have to deal with it. Especially when you shoot from weird field positions, a lighter kicking rig lets you get by with stuff, you can't do safely with a heavy kicker. Even though they are loud, I wear really good hearing protection and I use some of...

I would not HUNT with a cartridge, where the bullet is engaged or jammed into the land...It is a recipe for a problem IMO

Note: Not a 338 RUM...But my 300 RUM loves Retumbo with 230 grain (30 caliber) Berger.

You guys are welcome to go to archery and flintlocks 😇 ...I do hunt with a bow every once in awhile, but I am going to hunting with center-fire weapons, primarily various handguns.

I have not shot it yet-Life has been quite busy. I have new Norma brass. The first 100 rounds or so will be with 162 grain A-Max's.

A 270 Win with a good elk and or mature buck mule deer bullet will kill Stag easily with good shot placement

Ditto

@FOTIS , Congrats on the antelope! That was kind of a chip shot for you, but I take whatever distances come to me as well. Much wind that day?

Makers have a great rep among the specialty pistol/handgun guys. I have never used them though

@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?
