    Norma Mag Kills, through the scope.

    It’s a small Phoenix shooting bag and I cut the straps off it. I carry it everywhere. I think it weighs 5oz. This was actually the setup on that on shot.

    Norma Mag Kills, through the scope.

    The 180 ELDM’s has been great for me also man. My buddy and I went 5 bucks and 3 elk all with good terminal performance. The bullet did exit on the pig, and I was actually intentionally trying to avoid the double kill on the piglet. They only like to kill mature boars out there and maintain the...

    Norma Mag Kills, through the scope.

    I got these 3 kills on video this last season with the trigger cam. Shooter perspective. I think I was probably on 10-12X magnification for all of them. Youtube just blows the view up really close for some reason. But you can see the animal never leaves the center of the scope by very much. The...

    6mm prc

    I bet that pretty close. And spiral fluting the steel can be dicey as well as I just found at. Had a barrel with horizontal scaring across all the lands for a decent length up near the muzzle. And I believe it’s from an internal device holding it concentric and slipping during the fluting...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    @barehandlineman actually tried to get me to build a 25 PRC instead of 6 PRC. But I didn’t want to be over gunned, so I just told him “just chamber my shit straight and I’ll handle the rest” and then I gave him a bunch money and he called me a pussy. It all worked out.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Facts. 100% If you want to take me and put me in some absolutely ridiculous position that you decide on in the field that is utterly compromised and then start a 20 second timer. I will 100% shoot better with a smaller gun. If you say, “hey, go kill that big ass elk over there however you...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    So I can just accept this for what it is. You tested it, these were your results. You weren’t happy with one, and were happy with the other. Instead of “well you need to kill 50 more elk with each. You don’t have enough kills to have an opinion. And also show us all the wound channels. Oh you...

    Well said, and I agree. That wasn’t directed at everyone, asking any question. But it’s not like it doesn’t happen on the regular either. I read a lot more than I reply. I see it often.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Oh I’m sure there’s areas that fly under the radar that absolutely still get age class. Where I was, there was zero hunting pressure (back packed in 6 miles) and plenty of bucks and still no age class. So I’m not 100% sure what it is. If the bucks come low enough before season is over to get...

    6mm prc

    I was once a carbon proponent, and then a steel proponent. And now, I just don’t think it really even matters. Especially for hunting. After being around guys properly building guns with both carbon and steel barrels, I don’t think you can shoot the difference most of the time. One of the best...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Haha no problem!! The quantity was there, but the quality sure wasn’t. And I think that is just a catalyst of having a general season that runs well into the rut. I’m sure there are other reasons as well like simply just genetic potential. But I felt like of all the bucks I saw, only 2-3 had a...

    6mm prc

    I believe a .270 bushing will suite you fine with ADG. NT is a personal preference more than anything I think. I expand everything with a mandrel that is .0005 under caliber. That, plus spring back seems to be plenty tight and normally shoot excellent groups for me. So a .2425 mandrel in this...

    Fair enough. My apologies if those were the true intentions. Another wrong accusation lost in translation over text. I need to get off of here honestly. Hate wrongfully misinterpreting people’s intentions.

    lol I love the leading questions hoping for the answer you want so you can then dismiss the entire persons credibility. I see that shit all the time on here now. It’s not a genuine question out of curiosity. Why is it so hard for someone to come here and say “ I shot an elk with a 22 creed. I...

    I didn’t shoot it. I just share the videos so people can see live terminal performance/trauma.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Now I’ve seen a couple lol. I’ve definitely dove deep in the threads. There is a lot of data. Reason for me having a 22CM and big 6mm. But easy to gloss over the specific photos also or make an under judgment of wound size from the photos. The video is actually tough to tell how big the hole...

    Great photos! Caribou Heart. 360 yards. 180 Hybrid. I think there’s a visible difference personally. Cant shove a closed fist through any .224 entrance wound that I’ve seen yet?

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Yeah it does suck to try and convey what you’re REALLY trying to say on here sometimes. Text definitely isn’t the best communication tool. Lots of intent and emotion gets lost in the written word for sure. We would all have a blast around a campfire talking shit lol. Someone would bring back...

    Well said. I do it too now that season is winding down. We’re just irritable I think 😅.
