@Vince , Just read your last post-Good stuff. Honesty and transparency are epic for learning, and you have it-That's great. Kudos to you! My skill set is constantly changing due to my physical and mental weariness or lack of it. I really try to be aware of that. I like to use different stuff...

From teaching others in shooting courses, I have found that everyone is different. A lot of folks have been shooting large cartridges, and because of recoil, their fundamentals are not good. They like their magnums, but their shooting shows they don't. Call them wimps or whatever, but I try to...

@salmonchaser , I'm using the 160 grain LRX in my 7mm SAUM I plan to use the 140 grain AB (Still doing load development) in my 6.5-284. Sounds like your trip is going to be FUN!

I am going to hunt plains game again in SA this summer Lord willing. Where I hunt, their minimum caliber is .264 I am taking a 6.5-284 and a 7mm SAUM (Both are bolt action single-shot handguns) A good friend of mine Darrell Holland, has hunted Africa or South Africa every year for about the last...

Glenn and I have been getting ready for WY-SHOT the past couple of weeks, and I think we have ran 10 different bolt action specialty pistols that last couple of weeks. Both rear-grip and center-grip. Today we had paper at 100 yards, as I did a little load development with a rear-grip 6.5-284. I...

Welcome @Logan ! You are in a group of hunters here. We have guys who use big boy cartridges, others use smaller ones, and a good number here have a combination of both, and we all get along. One of the revolvers I hunt with is a 357 magnum, at distance s beyond 100 yards sometimes. I primarily...

Most of the circles I run in, prefer the M's over the X's

Thanks for the information!

I was guessing the gun was moving a lot from shot to shot. Any inconsistency in form would make the rifle recoil differently and therefor effect groups. When working on fundamentals, it is very important to really focus on hand (And the amount of force or energy you are gripping the stock with)...

Yep

I do not see the lighter weight M's being great for bone on a mule deer myself either. On the other hand, a 7mm 180 grain M I wouldn't be afraid to hunt elk with (Still stay away from heavy bone), and mule deer at about any angle. I am not suggesting it is the best bullet for elk, but I wouldn't...

It wasn't the wind. Were you shooting off of a bi-pod in previous range trips, when it was shooting good? I wouldn't use a slick fabric myself with a bipod, unless it was something like my JOYPOD-X...Which is a completely different cat. https://sebrests-usa.com/joypod-x/

I would use that bullet without hesitation on whitetail or antelope. Would you use it on a mule deer?

Agreed. I want a consistent bullet

Shot an antelope with a 223AI XP-100...Probably the same performance level as a 223 rifle with 75 grain A-Max. Bullet did it's job. A 75M or 80M will work great on deer. 80 M works great on hogs too with my 22 Creed XP pistol...Again, slower MV's than what you would get with a rifle. 88M's...

I have some friends there who hunt with specialty pistols, and one of them is gearing up with a bottleneck bolt action specialty pistol already.

It makes me happy every time I see you hunting with some kind of Glock. 😊

9T will work fantastic for 139's through 168's...As you already know.

9T will handle up to 180 Berger Hybrids. Most guys shooting those bullets today, opt for a 8.5T

Started with the 284 Win in the early 90's, center-grip XP-100. Mine have all been 9T. I have run from 140's-180's. The 180's are on my F-Open Rifle (30" barrel). 140's to 168's in 15.75" to 18" barrels. I had 3 recently, and I am down to 2 right now (Sold a XP-100). H-4831sc has been the powder...
