Lots of ideas to try.....thanks! As for too stout of a load for coyotes, there's no such thing! Could care less about how big a hole it makes in them. It's just something to hunt in the winter months and helping out the deer population. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the quote you're looking for is speed kills! The thing that produces DRT results isn't the size of the hole, it's massive amounts of hydrostatic shock being delivered in a vital area. Same thing happens with steel targets. I've shot AR500 steel at 200 yards with my 338 Lapua and a high...

Ok.....now he threw me a curveball and said he would also like to use it for elk and just wants one load to use from coyotes up to elk. I'm thinking the new hornady 178 eld-x might be a very good longish range do all bullet in the 308. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Surprised that he was still alive taking it through the shoulder...what was the bullet performance like? Any issues that you noticed with penetration or expansion? Nice looking buck by the way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd also like to see a .338 300gr ABLR for my Lapua with a G1 BC around .8 or better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree about the heavier bullets and wind drift at extended ranges. However with the proper equipment, training and practice a 300+ yard shot can be perfectly ethical and practical on big game. But for the hunter that shoots his rifle 3 shots a year to check zero and thinks minute of paper...

I also picked up a couple boxes of 110gr tipped varmageddon blems.....just for fun. I kind of want to load a few up in my 300H&H and go make some pink mist! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice and info! I knew I'd get some good experience on the 308 from here! I'll let you know how it turns out. Just ordered him 100 pieces of nosler brass and will start load development next week if the weather cooperates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a good friend of mine wanted to get a rifle for coyotes and deer that he could shoot out to 500ish yards. He ended up with a savage 308 and I helped him get a nice vortex viper scope with dials. Long story short he doesn't reload so I told him if he bought some brass and dies I'd load for...

They certainly are softer than a standard hunting bullet. But that is as we know by design so that they will still expand down to 1300fps. In my opinion they are an exceptional compromise to the struggle of finding a bullet that will both expand on game way the hell out there and also not...

Nice shooting! 250 or 300gr Accubond? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need to get a box of these and load some up in my 300H&H. My grandfather used them for moose when he worked with a railroad outfit up north. I still have a few laying around that he loaded. Pretty sweet combo with the old H&H! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had excellent accuracy from the 165gr Accubond in my 300H&H. It's a tough bullet with a decent BC that zips along a little over 3100fps in my load. Check out H4350 with the 165gr. I would think that combo would be a good choice for sheep hunting. I've also had extremely accurate results...

Dang.....that is an amazing bull! And that unit is about a half hour drive from me. Too bad it takes so many preference points to draw a branch antler tag..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent a picture to the guys at Sierra and they couldn't give an exact date but said that they moved to Santa Fe Springs in 1963.....so they were made sometime after that. The box of 270 bullets is even unopened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would think if it's a slightly slower burn rate than IMR 4451 then it should be outstanding in those calibers with heavier for caliber bullets. Something along the lines of 4831 burn rate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm assuming this sierra 150 flat nose bullets are pretty old....just noticed the price written on the box of $5.25! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend of mine had a lady at their church who knew he hunted give him her late husbands foot locker that was full of ammo and reloading supplies. He doesn't reload so he gave it to me. Still digging through it all but there's some neat old treasures in there. Any idea how old the boxes of...

I'm guessing you were going for one beat per second...although one beat per minute would be highly impressive! Like anything in shooting, especially at longer ranges where every mistake is magnified, the key is consistency. For me, and I think for most, the most consistent point to break the...
