Oryx questions (off range)
6.5 creed, 127 barnes lrx, 220 yards. Bullet went through both shoulders recovered against the hide. Went 60 yards and down. We've used 7-08s, 270, 308, 338-06, 338-378wby. All of them killed oryx. Good shooting and sturdy bullets are the key. Don't attempt sketchy shot angles on these... -
NM Ibex female/immature
trying to kill an ibex off the mountain in this day and age is a complete waste of time and money. They don't come off much when the numbers are up, no reason to leave at all now that the herd is in the tank. They move back and forth to the little floridas but that's still in the hunt area. -
Where are the Nosler bullets?
bought a couple hundred 6.5 130 accubonds out of their pro shop a few weeks ago, first useful accubonds i'd seen in a long long time. factory seconds are all I've used for years, never a problem. hope to see 7mm 160s someday. seems like they have their production on everything scaled way back -
Where are the Nosler bullets?
They recently had a run of 120 ballistic tips, had them in the pro shop and saw them for sale in a couple places, don't know if they're still around. Beyond that I can't figure them out either -
Has anyone tried a Burris Signature HD?
SWFA has a solid following, I've never been around one, sure they're great. Only drawback with the burris signature is the eye piece is so fricken big and the tube is pretty short either side of the turret, finding a ring/base setup that got it low enough and far enough away from my eye was a... -
Has anyone tried a Burris Signature HD?
I have the 2.5-10 version on a tikka 7-08. Glass is very clear, like the reticle. Held it's zero perfectly on elk and antelope hunts this year. Thus far, the turret has been accurate and repeatable. Running the dial up and down at steel targets at 200,550,750 it's been spot on and so far... -
Why not 7mm-08?
This warms my black little heart. The 120 ballistic tip in the 7-08 is a mighty little bastard. Since you seem like a guy that spends more time out in the weeds killing food than sitting in front of a computer having a spiritual crisis over ballistic coefficients, take a look at the speer 130... -
7mm twist rate
Sounds like 8.5 wouldn't be a mistake, the berger site says it's good to go, thanks for the input -
7mm twist rate
Hi all, turning a six lug weatherby into a short barreled 284 win. Heaviest bullets I'm ever likely to use would be 160 accubonds and partitions. Any reason to go faster than a 9 twist? My finger keeps hovering over the 8.5 button and I don't know why, someone needs to stop me or tell me it... -
Anyone playing with 6.5 StaBall?
Accuracy and velocity wise it fits right in with my primary creedmoor powders, if I had more of it I'd probably make use of it there. They should have named it staball 7-08, best thing I've found for that round with 150's since rl17. In my experience it hits pressure really sudden like up... -
7mm-08 for elk
All day long. 140 or 150 grain bullets with the word nosler in the description are your friend. I use partitions on bull flavored elk, we shot some cows this year with 150 ballistic tips and they did just fine. -
Is there a reason to choose OnX over Basemap? Other Qs about Basemap. BMAs?
What are your buddies using? I went with onx primarily because all of my associates are using it and it's easier to share and figure things out if everyone is looking at the same thing. My only gripe is that the only options seem to be paying a little for one state or a lot for every state. I...- Tobey

6.8 Western… Who’s shooting it?
You see ammo for it everywhere because there are no rifles. I think if they actually made rifles chambered for this round people would buy the ammo and discover that it works as well as everything else we've been using. A few pop up on gunbroker and such but I haven't seen a single rifle in... -

Score High Gunsmithing or Other Recommendation?
Have not had a rifle built by him. Have taken several rifles to him that were performing sub par and he definately cured them. Has also threaded and timed brakes on many rigs for me outstanding work and service, their cerekote is top notch too. I wouldn't hesitate to take anything to him, if... -
What is the ideal cartridge, barrel length, and suppressor length?
Tikka t3x compact in 7-08 or 308. Thread the barrel and go nuts. -
First go at reloading
Sta ball is looking really good for me in the 7mm-08 with 150s, will probably switch entirely when I'm out of RL 17, which will be soon. Always had an easy time finding good accuracy in the 06 wtih 4350's, used IMR for a long time but had good luck with H4350 and accurate 4350 as well. -
What cartridge for first rifle build?
280 with a 160 partition or accubond is a beautiful thing. -
Best Barrel Length for 270 Winchester. Factory loads
I've chopped the hell out of most of my barrels since I started using cans and don't miss any of it. If you are obsessed with velocity (like I was) and own a chronograph (which I do), you will struggle with the concept at first. I've shortened five barrels so far and found 25 fps to be a solid... -
6.5 CM Bullet? 140 AB or 120 TTSX or 127 LRX
cow elk, 140 accubond 200 yards behind the shoulder complete pass through. Oryx 127 LRX 250 yards square through both shoulders, recovered under the hide on far side. One shot each so take your pick. I like the accubond for an all rounder, works great for coues deer to elk. I prefer the...
