    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    If you do end up using Varget, grab an ASC steel mag. They allow you to seat out to 2.31 coal, gives ya a little more room for powder.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Almost 200 pages ago in this thread…. My longest has been 342 yards on a deer, out of a 223 the tmk will still perform past the ranges most guys should be shooting them at animals, myself included.

    Oh I’m sure they would work, just wouldn’t be my choice when there’s better bullets out there. If it was all I had access to, I’d use em.

    Yeah, they definitely wouldn’t be my first choice for an elk bullet. They work all right for hogs, and the price is hard to beat. Might try one on a deer this fall. Have you seen anything with them at lower velocities yet?

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Got another pig with the 75 gr AAC Sabre last night. First shot was at 100ish yards quartering away, knocked him down and then he got back up and started running at an angle toward me. Second shot hit guts, third was in the chest and stopped him. First shot on the left, quartering away. Last...

    No experience with a 6-06, always thought it sounded like a cool cartridge though. Keep us updated on how it shoots!

    Scope clearance question

    personally I would like a little more clearance than that. How is the eye relief? Any chance you could slide the scope forward a bit? Even like a quarter inch would help.

    Scope clearance question

    Eventually it will devolve into an argument about ethics and how many ft lbs of energy are needed to kill a giraffe.

    SWFA 10x42 for varmint hunting <300yds?

    There’s two SWFAs in the classifieds right now, a MIL and an MOA. The 3-9 credos come up fairly regularly. Either one should be relatively easy to resell on here if you dont like it.

    SWFA 10x42 for varmint hunting <300yds?

    If you don’t mind a used scope, buy both! Keep an eye on the classifieds here, buy one of each, and then keep the one you like and resell the other. They both hold their value pretty good, shouldn’t lose much money reselling here on RS.

    .243 for moose

    I Misunderstood you as defending the idea that expensive hunts somehow require magnums. Carry on with what works for ya.

    .243 for moose

    What difference does the price make in what cartridge is suitable? If it cost $25,000 for a NR, or 50 bucks for a resident license and tag, the moose doesn’t care how much the hunter paid for the privilege of deflating its lungs.
