Most excellent. Congrats to you and your daughter on her first elk.

Do the above before anything else. (y)

With groups like that just makes sure your knife is good and sharp.

That will most certainly get the job done, great shooting for sure. (y)

Thanks to all for your thoughts and input. I went out today and shot some 250 hot cores at 100 yards. 1 3 shot group went .652, 54 gr imr 4064 and another .677 with 55 gr imr4064. I've used accubond in different calibers to take several bulls but I've never used Speer bullets so maybe I'll roll...

I have no concern using the 225 accubond at close range for elk, was just curious what others would use at these ranges.

Curious question for the 35 whelen guys. Right now I'm running a 225 accubond in my whelen for elk at close range hunting, 20 to 100 yards max. What bullet would use for this hunting situation other than the 225 Accubond If any? Bill

That's a great looking group. I like the ramshot line of powders. May not always get the highest velocity but accuracy is tough to beat.

Looks like there is a couple of standouts so far. Curious how 8133 compares to retumbo velocity wise as accuracy looks great. (y)

An 8mm mag will certainly get the job done. When I had mine I used the discontinued 220 hornady and 200 tsx with rl22. Both showed great accuracy and speed. I think I still have some 8mm bullets, might have to buy another 8mm mag so the bullets don't go to waste.

Very nice looking rig Jim, Rob does some amazing work. No doubt it will be a shooter.

Sportsman warehouse shows some in stock.

That's a whole lot of promise. Looks like you could pick any of those charge weights and be thrilled with the results. Great shooting Scotty.

I have not tried a 140 partition but i do use a 140 accubond with 66 grains of magnum Powder with excellent results, do work up to 66 grains. Tried retumbo but seemed to run into pressure spikes from time to time under simular shooting conditions. Like gerry said, if you have both give them a whirl.

My guess is that rifle manufactures don't want any factory ammo or reloaded ammo to be jammed into the lans and cause over pressure. Just my .02

Those look like great starting and stopping points to me. Scenar bullets worth a hoot for hunting or just long range plinking?

Looks like some serious potential.

If you know your velocity, which im sure you do you could load 1 round each in .5 increments going up till you hit your known velocity. Once you hit your velocity load 3 and see if it still shoots accuratly. This is what i do when changing lot# of brass, powder or primers. Has always worked for...

Don for safety reasons I would most certainly drop down and working back up. Ive never ran anything but remington brass so im of no help in regards to the other brands.

That is a sweeting looking rig. Like Scotty I love the color combo.
