GB,
Yes its our Super Cruiser. Had a few of them over the
years........ This is a really lite one at 1065lbs! Great
old airplanes.

Looks sharp! Are you on supercub.org or backcountrypilot.org? Another time drain but fun anyway. Hahahaha.

Ok sorry about the derail. Again.
 
I'm just about to try the 130 grn Gamechanger this week in my 6.5-06. They are a sub half bullet in my rifle but i haven't tried them on deer yet. I would have gone 130 grn Accubonds as I am a huge fan of all things Nosler but over here in the UK the Accu's are £46 for 50 whilst the TGK's are half this price. Folk seem to say the TGK's are a fairly hard bullet and so perform similarly to a bonded bullet. We shall see this week.
 
Hey Cheyenne!

To answer your question in kind of a round about way...use the bullet that your rifle likes best.
I'm betting it has a 1 in 8 barrel twist.
That twist is made more for the 130 -140 gr bullets.
I would try the 140 Nosler BT, or as you said, the Hornady 143 ELD-X.
Mule deer are a tad bigger bodied than white tail deer, so start with those 2 first.
I think you'll be pleased.

What a great picture for a chest wader company to use in
an advertisement! That picture combined with the simple
slogan "Can your waders do this"......... Would cover it all.
Well done olde boy!

Since I have to use lead-free, I tried the lehigh controlled chaos. First tests were sub moa, finetuning will follow.
Then I will try them on boar and deer..

I love the Beavers but the 180 or 185 account for most of my trips. I could see flying in your jet though, other then landing on water.

Wondering how things went for the TGK’s did you have a follow up thread?

I had good luck with 143 ELDX handloads even at scorching distance. About 15-20 yards. Don’t over look the factory Whitetail Hunter loads or the 129 interlock. They’ll do just fine on deer small or large.
