It's just in the way of the parallax adjustment. I can still see it just behind since it sticks out to the left side, and I shoot with both eyes open, so that's just what I had to go with. Not a whole lot of mounting room on the tubes of these S&Bs with the illuminated deal on the front, and the...
Got a Nightforce ACI indicator for sale. Great shape. $162 shipped USPS small flat rate with tracking. PayPal preferred, usps mo, or personal check. Thanks for looking.
Picked up a S&B PMII 5-25x P4F for the 7-300. Taking the old NXS 5.5-22x off today and mounting her up in some Warne mountain tech rings. Have a cow hunt coming up the next couple weeks and need to get it zeroed and ready to go! 180g ELDMs at 3K will be doing the work.
Got a case of BR2s for $250 and case of BR4s for $250, for a total of $500 shipped to my door. Free shipping and free hazmat. I thought that was a pretty good deal...
I've got (550) 75g ELDMs that are Midway 2nds. I'd like $125 shipped to your door via USPS small flat rate box with tracking. PayPal preferred, or check/USPS MO. Thanks
Here's a clear example of the expansion characteristics I'm talking about of the AB vs ABLRs.
7 Mag, 160g AB and 168g ABLR into jugs at 25 yards. Both went to the 5th jug.
160g AB, 89g retained weight for 55% retention, and expanded to .57" at its widest point.
168g ABLR, 87g retained weight...
Where can one find just the bullets to reload, that haven't been pulled? I'm not seeing them anywhere online. The only place I see them for sale is DRT and they're pulled. Not interested in pulled bullets.
Exactly my point! We are not the only ones! It's an anomaly when they actually do shoot from a rifle...For every 1 rifle that shoots them, there's at least 10 or 20 that don't. I don't see how that's productive for anyone.
Looks like I'll just be sticking with the Hornady 180g ELDMs until...
We need a 7mm 175-180g regular AB! Something around at least a .600-.625 BC You make a 30 cal 200g AB and 338" 300g AB so it can be done...
The 175g ABLR is not it. They don't shoot 9 out of 10 rifles, and they don't expand as well as the regular ABs. Sure they have a high BC, but that doesn't...
If you can get the 75 ELDMs around 3K, which is entirely possible with a bolt gun and 28-30" tubes, it's not as bad as you'd think. It's not too far off a 6 creed with 108 ELDMs at 3K.
I've seen a couple bad story's from all of them really. The NX8 and MK5 have had their own line of issues. NF is looking to redesign their NX8 after a good buddy of mine has had to send it back 3 times now for broken internals on a 338 Lapua. He's also broke a Razor HD 3 times for the same...
Thank you everyone. The wind actually wasn't too bad. Started off around 5-7 mph on the 500 yard KYL rack for me. By the time I was up for the 800 yard MOA-1/2 MOA stage an hour later, there was zero wind. Couldn't have asked for a better day. I lost by 1 point on the KYL rack to a pro shooter...
Whats wrong with the 108g ELDMs? They've got a pretty track proven record for killing coyotes/antelope/deer. If I had to use my 6 creed for deer, that's what I would use and wouldn't feel bad about it all. They've slammed every dog I've shot with them and left nice size exits. You said you...
Good times at the MF MOA/KYL shoot today. Thanks to Gentry Thorpe for hosting it, and Alex Mendoza for letting me tag along. Also shout out to my amazing wife Erin Peterson for the support and taking pics/videos. I took the 6 Creedmoor with 108g ELDMs and tied for 2nd on the KYL at 500 yards...
