Honestly I don't know if it's worth selling the razor until you are ready to upgrade to top of the line glass. I have used an Athlon ares 65 for the last 5 years and though it's not the best optic it has served it's purpose. I bought a kowa 773 this last year and that will be my do it all scope...
I ran the numbers on Hornady bc calculator comparing my 7prc shooting Factory 180 eldm and my 20" barrel Tikka 7 rem mag shooting 162 eldm hand loads.
I was within 20 fps and 80 ft lbs of energy at 800 yards.
I wanted to shoot the 180's but the 162's loaded at mag length shoot great out of my...
I think you would be better off with h4350 or h4831sc. Not a bad idea to try staball 6.5 as it can be had cheaper and I have heard great things about it
My harvester evo certified the first week of December and I got approved yesterday! I had 2 other cans certified same day also so we will see but at least I will have one to play with.
Spot on! This is one of our families favorite meals. You can even burn up a neck roast with this recipe. Thanks for posting this for all to see what they're missing out on!
Yes very nice work on putting down some great deer! Looks like you put in just as much work learning the right hunting tactics and time In field as you did getting set up with the right gun for the job!
Had to take a break from out of state hunts for a couple years. I have two boys ages 4 and 2 and a new baby girl added to the mix. The oldest goes in the osprey pack and goes with me when I take kids out for the Montana youth hunt. It's a good workout and he looks forward to it all year. Next...
I had one on a Tikka and while jumping over a log my sling stud broke and the elevation turret had a very direct hard impact on the log. Checked zero and it was still on and shot a deer the next day at 400 yards. Sold gun with scope to my buddy and he has never had to adjust zero in the last 3...
Brass life will most likely be little better with the prc because of the belt on the 7 rem mag making it harder to full length size down to the belt.(cases are known to bulge around belt)
I currently own a Christenson Mesa FFT in 7 prc and a Tikka 7 rem mag.
The 7 prc is a tack driver and the...
I'm shooting Factory Hornady match 180's out of a 22 inch barrel at 2760. 2810 with factory 175's. The barrel should speed up some but I've got pressure signs with the 180's from the same lot of ammo I shot my average muzzle velocity.
The 180 eldm does serious damage from what I've seen so I...
