    Tikka vs Springfield vs Seekings

    So should I opt for a 300 wm in the tikka then? I have 180 grain accubonds and 200 grain terminal ascents. I love the accubonds bc they stopped this moose in its tracks. I have also been able to find 200 grain eldx if I look around. I also have a case of 300 prc eldx with no prc Sent from my...

    300 wsm barrel lengths

    I’m really considering getting a 20 inch barrel but I am worried about muzzle blast and lost velocity with factory ammo. I don’t really plan on hand loading and have barnes vortx 165 ttsx factory ammo. Am I right to worry about lost velocity and fireballs? I’ve tried researching but Ive been...

    What's your choice for a bonded bullet for a 30 caliber?

    I am a believer in accubonds after I saw how they dropped my 70 inch moose. The hole in the ribs is from a 180 grain 300 win load Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
