    What happened to Mono bullets

    Same here in fact a considerable amount of my hunting is done with a smoothbore slug gun, a muzzleloader or a bow. I have had considerable success using regular cup and core bullets, the Nosler Partition and the Ballistic Tips. I have been playing with some target bullets but still prefer a...

    6ARC and 6.5 Grendel 105 and 123 gr, Hornady BTHP for deer

    Well I did a jug test with the Hornady 123 gr. BTHP. Absolutely destroyed the first two jugs and shredded the third with a piece of jacket going through the 4th jug. This from a 16 inch barreled Grendel, velocity at the muzzle 2430 fps. The jugs were set up in front of my target frame at 100...

    6ARC and 6.5 Grendel 105 and 123 gr, Hornady BTHP for deer

    Well I have 500 of the 123 grain Hornady BTHP bullets. Also some Barnes matchburners in 120 grain. Those definitely are going to open quickly. destroyed first two gallon jugs, hole through the third and found in 4th. Shot into water filled gallon jugs at 100 yards. Muzzle velocity 2430 fps.

    7mm rem mag ammo recommendations

    Hate to tell you this but the 150 grain PSPCL is an elk killer. Cheap, well tested and usually accurate.

    How did it expand/penetrate?

    Hornady ELD-X

    I loaded a bit slower (2820 fps) to hopefully reduce damage. Will be unlikely I shoot past 200 yards.

    Which 6mm cartridge!?

    Well I guess I am still in the dark side. In my 243 I use the 58 gr, Vmax and the 55 gr, Ballistic tips pushed to around 3750 fps. Where I hunt they are heavily pressured and you better shoot fast. I have a 6 Grendel and a 243. So far those bullets have killed everything shot no sweat. The rifle...

    Best 308 Bullet

    I would say there is no best bullet but the one you are shooting is up there in the top tier.

    What happened to Mono bullets

    Now that we have gotten so deep into various match bullets for game with emphasis on smaller diameters has interest in Mono metal bullets gone away? At one time they were supposed to be the answer.

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    My first eastern Washington elk rifle was a 30-06 loaded with 200 grain Partitions. Worked fine but for some inexplicable reason I put together a 19 inch barreled Whelen loaded with 250 gr. Partitions, Speer Hotcors and Hornady Innerlocs. On both rifles I used fixed 4 power Leupolds. I guess the...

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

    Pretty sure this thread, which could have been useful information has gone off the rails. I have had no failures using the 223 because I have always shot it carefully in consideration of the bullet I was using. I have had some not so great 243 kills because I treated it like a 30-06 a couple...

    6ARC and 6.5 Grendel 105 and 123 gr, Hornady BTHP for deer

    I know the 105 has had some use on deer but wondering if the 123 will do about the same.

    6ARC and 6.5 Grendel 105 and 123 gr, Hornady BTHP for deer

    Have a bunch of both loaded already so I may try them on deer. 2600 fps for the ARC and 2530 fps for the Grendel.

    350 legend AR

    Yep right to the center of the notch. I have ground a bit of a ushape from the front wall of the magazine also. Part of the magazine issue is the cartridge needs to pop out of the feed lips sooner.

    Have you tried grinding the magazine feed lips back to the middle of the first groove you come to?

    Wifes new 6.5 Creedmore mule deer rifle ammo choice?

    All the new bullets are fine but until I shoot up all my 120 grain Ballistic Tips they will just have to wait.

    Where would you aim?

    350 legend AR

    What fixed my 350 legend upper was simple and free. Grind the magazine feed lips back to the middle of the first groove on the side of the mag. This allows the round to have a slightly nose up attitude. Worked wonders. The full diameter on the Legend is much further forward than the shoulder of...

    350 legend AR

    I run a two stage RRA Varmint trigger. Like it a lot and not that expensive. Under $100. https://www.righttobear.com/rock-river-2-stage-varmint-match-trigger-3-5-lbs-ar0093nmkv/

    7mm Rem Mag vs the new age

    I Would own either. I see no issue with the belt. Personally I don't need High BC 175 or 180 grain bullets. There are several lighter bullets available that are pretty high BC, certainly good enough to at least 600 yards. I reload everything so the case shape means little to nothing,
