    Unfamiliar Territory

    Do you have an atv? Something 50” or less, not one of the monstrosities that get trails shut down. Any more, I try to find areas that are only accessible by atv/dirt bike. Yes you will still deal with some people, but I figure you eliminate at least 50% of the competition right off the bat.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    After reading through all these forums, there aren’t too many bullets I would feel undergunned with. Working up a load for my daughter’s rifle, and unfortunately it doesn’t like the 130 tmk’s. Ballistic tips have shot great in every other rifle I have loaded for, so I figured that should be my...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Does anyone have experience running the 120 ballistic tips? I realize the further out they get that the heavies are better, but am looking at probably 400 yds and in.

    show your trophys.

    I’d probably pay money to get a few of you more seasoned gents in a room just to hear the stories!

    Anyone shot/owned CVA Cascade?

    I think when you’re in the boat of having the money to buy either, you typically aren’t left wondering “what if” when you get the nicer one first. Certainly not saying the Cva is a turd, just my 2 cents having both.

    Anyone shot/owned CVA Cascade?

    I’ve got both. Have a 6.5 creed in the cascade. It shoots pretty well, ten shot groups with hand loads are right at 1.5”. The grippy stock is alright, but I had a Bergara with the same thing and it began to peel the 2nd season I used it. If you keep an eye out, I snagged mine at Walmart for like...

    Textured paint recommendations

    Those look awesome!

    Textured paint recommendations

    I used the textured paint recently to rejuvenate an ugly old savage. It looks good. One thing to keep in mind is that it certainly builds up thickness much quicker than regular spray paint.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I’m sure I probably missed something somewhere, but how has the 90 eld-x fared on elk? I can get my hands on those and the 95 nbt fairly easily. If the eld-x do fine on elk I’ll probably run with whatever shoots better.

    6.5CM Monometal factory loadings - anyone had success?

    I have heard a lot of good things accuracy wise with the hammers- main gripe it seems is that they inflate their b.c. numbers. I’m curious to try them at some point also

    6.5CM Monometal factory loadings - anyone had success?

    The issue I have seen with monos, is that they tend to be inconsistent with a couple things. Putting shots through the lungs, I’ve yet to see an animal just drop. I have however seen wildly inconsistent blood trails. 2 deer in ‘22 with a .300 win mag and copper ammo, zero blood trails. Both made...

    Yikes on the Hornady stuff! What rifle are you running it in?

    Tikka t3x .243 win 108 eldm vs 6.5 creedmoor 130 tmk

    Also, I used to have a t3x super lite 6.5, and it shot great. Sold it when I thought I wanted to shoot magnums at everything (dumbass)

    Tikka t3x .243 win 108 eldm vs 6.5 creedmoor 130 tmk

    I’m literally going through this same internal dilemma. I’ve got a CVA 6.5 creed that shoots the 130s really well, but I’m not overly fond of the rifle itself. I’ve been feeling an 8 twist tikka .243 calling my name.

    your 6.5 CM/elk experience

    I don’t know, it was pretty cool actually getting to spot my impacts this year using a 6.5. Sure gonna miss getting my shoulder beat to hell by light magnums, or trading that for getting punched in the face by muzzle blast from a brake.

    Archery Elk shoulder blade shot

    Wish I still had the picture but can’t find it. Bull two years ago. Slick trick ss3 No 27.5, 70 lbs, 450 grains. Thankfully he was so rutted up that I was able to call him in again further down the draw and put a second arrow in him.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Got my .308 load figured out. Can’t complain when the 6 shots testing for pressure all land in a group just over an inch. Also trying to simplify life and find one load for each cartridge I own and thin the heard of components I’ll never use.

    Any of you all have a DIY big target at home

    I do commercial roofing for a living. Got a big lot of eps styrofoam taper that was left from a job. It’s 4’ deep, 4’ high and 8’ wide. Pretty tough to miss lol. I just set my small targets in front of it and never worry about losing arrows.
