    Trouble choosing between Tikka t3x superlite and browning x-bolt speed spr

    I’ve had both and still own 2 tikkas. For me tikkas just feel right, not that the brownings feel bad or shoot bad, they just don’t feel as good as the tikkas. Plus the aftermarket support for tikka is great as well.

    7-08 Alberta moose

    I'm not sure what the problem was. Like i said, probably the easiest bullet I've ever developed a load for, just wasn't impressed with the killing ability. If it was just the elk I shot maybe I'd say keep them above 2200fps and they might work, but I shot my moose with them also and he was at...

    7-08 Alberta moose

    Yeah I was a little shocked myself. Accuracy wise they were probably the easiest bullet I’ve ever worked up loads for, just wasn’t impressed with how they killed. There was a dead animals at the end every time so they did do the job, just not quite as quick as I’m use to and the no blood was...

    7prc ELD-X Hornady vs Federal?

    I didn’t, I use to shoot a lot of all copper bullets but was never a fan of the way they killed. Sometimes you would get quick kills but for the most part they would be on their feet for longer than I liked so I don’t even try them anymore. If you’re interested in copper, I hear Barnes is...

    Bergara B14 Wilderness Carbon Rodge 7prc

    I came from a VX5HD as well and my fierce was bought as a package that came with a VX5 on it as well. I sold the VX5 and had enough left over to buy the credo and a couple boxes of ammo. I understand all the hate fierce receives, their customer service seems terrible and if this gun wasn’t shot...

    7prc ELD-X Hornady vs Federal?

    That’s what I did, bought a box of everything I could find. Both hornady loads I tried grouped well, the federal just grouped better. I also tried the nosler 175gr ablr and those had good speed but terrible groups, averaged over 2.3moa for my best group

    7-08 Alberta moose

    I used hammers for one season, they shot great but the elk I shot went almost 250 yards without a drop of blood anywhere in the snow. Luckily it was a lone cow so following her wasn’t hard. Not sure how well it would have went tracking her through the bush with no blood and no snow. The 7-08...

    7prc ELD-X Hornady vs Federal?

    I’ve shot both, Hornady was slower avg 2776 fps with a higher ES mid 50s if I recall, groups were good though. Federal avg 2883 fps with ES in the low 30s and groups .5-75 moa. Either would do, but I’ll take the better groups which just so happens to be faster as well

    Bergara B14 Wilderness Carbon Rodge 7prc

    Federal seems to be killing it with their 7prc offerings, the 175 eld-x shoots lights out in my fierce and avg 107fps faster than Hornady. How are you liking the Trijicon? I have the same scope on my 7PRC with roughly 300 rounds on it and I’ve been impressed so far.

    NXS 2.5-10x42 or Credo 2.5-15x42

    I was in the same boat you're in right now. After looking through and handling them I went with the credo HX. Really enjoy the center dot, turrets are great, eye box is good up to 15x and the extra mounting area was nice to have. Not a huge test but I've put about 300 rounds through it in the...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    Holy f@ck this went to hell in a hurry. I use blue loctite because it works and gives peace of mind that the screws won’t one loose. Don’t use loctite, won’t hurt my feelings, but if I can lower the chances of something going wrong I will.

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    I’ve always used blue loctite on bases and rings. Use to torque to spec but now I torque to 20-22” lbs on the rings.

    What’s going on with the Factory Hornady 7 PRC ammo?????

    Not sure if anyone else has tried the nosler but my gun hated it, was out again today to do some more shooting and picked a box up to try. Hornady eldm averaged 2797 fps with a .736 moa 5 shot group and the Nosler while quite a bit faster at 2938 fps averaged a 4.08 moa 5 shot group.
