A terminal ascent 165-175g would be an amazing addition.
Eldx might have a higher initial SD but after impact it all dissappears.. I'm sorry but I really tried to get behind the ELD-X and unfortunately I can't recommend it for anything bigger than deer sized game. They seem to loose all...
The game changer and terminal ascent are great bullets.. the ELD lineup from hornady does not impress me. Though none 9f them are heavy enough for elk or moose imho, also coppers usually have higher SD than leads and penetrate better.
Well hopefully they start using ADG brass asap. If Barnes gets on board with factory 6.8 western offerings it's going to be a whole new world out there for 277.
6.8 western is great in that it is everything that the 6.5 prc is and more. The 6.5 prc is marginal for elk and moose whereas the 6.8...
I'd beg to differ.. 6.8 western has way less recoil than a 300 winmag or an 06. It's basically a 270wsm with factory offerings up to 175 grain bullets. That's a great offering for someone like myself who has daughters that would like to start moose hunting. Or even small framed men/women.
That's a fact, hornady and many of the other manufacturers are the same way.. they would rather sell you brass, lead, powder and primers all at the same time.. they probably make more money that way.
Hopefully after ADG comes on board the flood gates will open.
I can run 305 grain hard cast buffalo bore through my Henry but I have to run it fast or it likes to catch. That's the only reason I was curious about a lighter/shorter option.
Do you suppose you could get close to 1800 fps out of a Henry 44? I have a 17.5" barel. The reason I am looking for faster speeds is so I can get a little flatter trajectory out to 150 yards on deer.
I don't want to sound like I'm arguing but my experience is that Moose die pretty easily if you...
They work in 6.5PRC rifles however mine feeds like trash and so does a friend of mines rifle. I believe the prc is a little longer than 6.8 isn't it?
My PRC the tips of the bullets are mangled by the time it feeds into the chamber completely because of the odd feeding angle.
