I can't say for sure that another brand of brass will be the end all be all but it can't hurt to try. You could have a slow lot of powder also. With my newest lot of powder it took .5 grains less than my old lot to achieve the same velocity. I sent you a pm.

Scotty the only time I observed any ejector marks where on quite warm days which I try to avoid shooting in for the most part. I personally think very little of nosler brass due to its softness.

Scotty retumbo really shines in my rum with a 200 accubond, rem brass, fed 215m with 3197 ave 3 shot velocity. Magnum powder is even more accurate than retumbo but settles in at 3080 and is easy on the brass. My retumbo load is up close to my max but magnum has room to go if i wanted more than...

35 whelen zeroed at 100 yards mainly because of the close range hunting I do with it. 264 win mag 200 yards zero, dial if needed. 300 rum 200 yards zero, dial if needed. I don't guess when I practice so I won't guess when I'm hunting. Knowing trumps guessing.

Nicely done Scotty, looks great. That is a great weight to be packing around the hills for elk.

Excellent story, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my first deer many years ago with my dad.

Best I can come up with is that it's a Hemispherical bullet. Seems they are used in Europe for hunting.

Me too. (y)

I would take Robs advise as well, he certainly knows what he is doing.

Not going to lose enough velocity going with a 24 to even worry about. A fast 24 inch barrel will have more velocity than a slow 26 inch barrel.

Nice plan Jim. That rifle was a shooter before, can only imagine what it will do now when its done. Rob doing the work?

Great looking bull and impressive shooting. I could never get that lucky to come across a guy with mules to pack my elk out. Seems like the whole day was meant to be.

That is a stud of a buck (y) tell your wife congratulation and excellent shooting.

Fotis congratulations on a great bull. (y)

Scotty thanks for the great recap of the hunt. Congratulations to all of you guys on what looks like an awesome hunt. Bill

I have one of those dies and it works great. I've only had one rifle that needed the die to resize the cases to fit the chamber.

I absolutely enjoyed the story behind the hunt and could see what you were describing through your words.

It would be tough to find a reason to NOT carry that rifle for all your hunting needs, excellent shooting.

Nice goat Fotis, congratulations. Those ttsx bullets sure do the job.

Great looking buck and job well done. (y)
