    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Updates: My barrel is 24" with 1:9 twist. I think I have a good load for the 160 AB (see attached photos). Not necessarily the fastest, but you can't argue with the consistency. Next I'll work on the Hammers.

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Thanks for the feedback on the LRX. FWIW, I've got a good load with 150 gr Accubond LR's worked up because that was all I could get my hands on a while back. I'm just a tinkerer so, I was thinking the extra 10 gr. of the 160 AB's would be a good thing for larger animals. I finally got hold of...

    Best All Copper Cartridge for Whitetail Deer for a Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Old thread, but Sako makes monolithic copper "powerblade." Might be worth a try since you had good luck with the super hammerheads. Just a thought.

    Sold Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 Creedmoor with Trigger Tech Special upgrade $900

    Like new, <100 rounds through barrel. Great for target, varmint or hunting gun. I added a TT Special trigger which is $209. Truth be told, it originally shot just slightly above 1 MOA, so I sent it back to Bergara and their gunsmiths worked on it and now it shoots legitimately <0.7 MOA with...

    Best .264 all copper monoalloy? Barnes TTSX vs. Hornady CX, vs. Hammer Hunter, etc?

    25 yds., so should be around 2700 fps. Yes, they are bonded.

    Best .264 all copper monoalloy? Barnes TTSX vs. Hornady CX, vs. Hammer Hunter, etc?

    And the correct answer for me and my rifle is SAKO SUPER HAMMERHEADS, 140g! I really couldn't ask for better accuracy and terminal performance

    Best hunting knife

    My favorite hunting knife is a fixed-blade, semi-skinner profile knife. I currently have several including ones from Tom Krein, Bob Dozier, Dan Crotts, and Wayne Hendrix. All are great knives. Here's my newest on from Dan Crotts.

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Thanks everyone. Originally, I was only able to find 150 gr ELDX and got them shooting 0.5 MOA, so that's my fall back. More recently, I've been able to procure some 160 AB and 143 HH bullets. I'll let you know how those work with my gun.

    New guy from S. Central PA

    Been archery hunting whitetails for a decade or so. Started rifle hunting last year. Also interested in targets like NFAA Field or 3D archery, just learning rifle skills, but will eventually be looking for target competitions, PRS?, NLR22?, etc... Occasionally hunt turkey, dove or clay with 12g...

    Best .264 all copper monoalloy? Barnes TTSX vs. Hornady CX, vs. Hammer Hunter, etc?

    I'm going to start with the hammer hunters, just because I have some already. If I don't like the results, I will certainly be open to any other manufacturer. Might even go down to 110 gr Hammers, too.

    Best .264 all copper monoalloy? Barnes TTSX vs. Hornady CX, vs. Hammer Hunter, etc?

    Took the Barnes, Hornady and Sako to the range the other day. Looks like I'll be sticking with the Sakos for now. They shot legit sub-MOA @100yds (see picture , Barnes ~1 MOA and Hornady ~2 MOA with my rifle. I will work on hand loading with the Hammers after hunting season just for funsies.

    Best .264 all copper monoalloy? Barnes TTSX vs. Hornady CX, vs. Hammer Hunter, etc?

    I have a Tikka T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots Sako Super Hammerheads (lead/copper) very well, but I was thinking of switching to all copper. What do you think about the following options if all shoot equally well in my rifle? I hunt Eastern whitetails in woods so all shots are <250yds...

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    P.S. I already have a 6.5 creed shooting 140g Sako super hammer heads for smaller animals, so I'm leaning toward the heavier load for the AI

    Bullet choice for 280 AI Accubond 160g vs. Hammer Hunter 143g

    Working up hunting loads for 280 AI. Anyone want to discuss relative benefit vs. costs of lighter monolithic vs. heavier bonded bullets. I'm sure this has been discussed a bunch, and I have tried to read older posts on the subject. Heck, I will probably work up loads or both bullets to see...

    Tikka Veil Alpine aftermarket stock?

    Anyone have recommendations +/- picts of good, stiff, aftermarket stock for a Tikka T3x that would match my Veil Alpine stock and action. I've searched this forum and found only a couple pictures. Thanks in advance.

    Tikka T3/T3x Aftermarket Stock Pics

    Old post, but how does the cheek weld line up with your scope? I'm looking at the same stock. Also, I haave the same veil alpine stock, so it's nice to see that the moss matches very well. The oem cerakote is an odd color.
