Caliber Choice On New Rifle
I haven't bought factory centerfire ammo in 10 years. However, I know of elk killed in my personal circle of acquaintances with Hornady 143 ELD-X and Berger 140 VLD Hunter, both factory ammo, I think. Both worked well. If I suddenly couldn't reload, I think I'd buy factory 140 ELD-M loads in... -
Caliber Choice On New Rifle
My 22" 6.5 CM is still above 2000fps at 500yds with my 130 TMK handloads. You will lose some shootability with the PRC, all things being the same. With the data set available on this site from the last few years, there's actually a strong argument that the 6 CM could be an even better fit. -
Neat little score
I think the idea of bringing him some meat that the rifle killed is a terrific idea. The guy who rebarreled my rifle a few years ago is a customer of mine. He treated me quite well, and the rifle seems to shoot almost everything well. After I killed a bull with it a couple years ago I took him... -
6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
Well...... we probably aren't going to change each other's minds. Good luck out there this year. -
6.5 C or 308?
Thanks! My buddy shot his bull 3 or 4 times with a 300 Win Mag last year. Killing is a variable art. -
6.5 C or 308?
Again, which bullets in those 6.5s? It makes a difference. If the bull of a lifetime walks out in front of me I want the rifle that I shoot 100s of rounds through in the course of a year. -

6.5 C or 308?
You're really gonna be horrified when you run across the 223 thread...... I'd love to know what bullet was involved. Over in the 6.5/260 thread we have quite a few drama free elk kills, and it seems like the lesson is that bullets matter..... -

You trust the scientists a lot more than me! -

6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
The thread @PNWGATOR linked is the largest collection. The 6.5/260 thread also has some. For some reason I can't link to it off my phone right now. -
22 ARC
I know this is unnecessary, but...... It would be so cool if Tikka would build a real mini action for 223, 22 ARC, and 6 ARC. I have a CZ 527, and while they aren't perfect, I have grown kind of fond of that tiny little action. I know, it's only a little bit of length difference, but I want... -
6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
So are you really going to indict a bullet you have no experience with? There's a rather large body of evidence on this site showing that TMK are one of the best killing bullets on the market. Some of that evidence is mine. I'll trust my own experiences and those of individuals I trust way... -
6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
Not a TMK, and not what I have seen with them. -
6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
Have you ever seen what a 130 TMK does between 2000 and 2800 fps? -
6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection
The Tmk have the wounding characteristics I wanted. They are pretty devastating. -
.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
I could see the 88 ELD-M factory loading contributing to the demise of a lot of animals. It's almost like Hornady reads Rokslide......... .......unlike Sierra.......
