    DRT Terminal Shock Load Data

    I have not shot them since that hunt and have replaced the barrel since then, but yes that is where the 135g G1 BC trued in that rifle/barrel.

    Accubond performance??

    88g eld-m, 551 yards on a mule deer buck. Somehow it "expanded".

    Muzzle Break or Suppressor?

    The only problem with that theory is brakes can cause hearing damage even with ear pro. Especially the common types of ear pro hunters are using in the field that are often not deployed properly for maximum protection.

    What do you consider a "chip shot"

    I think for the 2024 CBC: in order to earn two additional shots, should be switched to one impact at 400-450, then one at 600 instead of back to back at 600. The number of first round misses at 600 last year was surprising, a bunch of data at 400-450 might be telling.

    Tikka 223 Magazine - Anything new out there?

    They are the 80g, not 88. Its just shy of 2800fps in my 20" barrel. I use 8208XBR (preferred) or Varget (crunchy). Both shoot about the same speed/precision.

    Tikka 223 Magazine - Anything new out there?

    Get the Waters version that is 2.6oal. You can load to the lands with ample space in a factory Tikka. Photo is the 80g eldm ~2.42oal, which is .020 off in my Tikka.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    2.42ish is where you want to be.

    Custom Rifle Journey/Review *Pic Heavy*

    The suppressor ban in CA sucks major. Really wish we could use them hunting. Which plugs do you like for backpack hunting?

    TIKKA CTR on a diet

    I've left the gap for now but considered bonding it with jb weld. It's solid as is, no issues.
