I shot a pretty small doe fawn tonight with them. Bullet dramatically destroyed basically both lungs, damaged the liver and even broke the stomach. Very very explosive. Estimated impact velocity of 2600 FPS out of a 18” sig cross. Killed the deer dramatically but I’m probably not going to...
I think if I was shooting copper in a 300 win mag I’d use the 150 TTSX or else the copper 130 grain TTSX but you’d have to hand load that, which I don’t. Barnes ammo shows like 3125 fps for that out of a 308 so I’d think you could really get it moving in a 300 win mag.
is the 120 ELDM the best (and lightest) light for caliber 6.5 bullet? This would be for whitetail only. I don’t see anything below 120 that is marketed as a hunting round for anything above coyotes.
I sighted in the 100 ELDVTs I’m gonna shoot a couple does at some point in December. Not sure what I’ll get for pictures, depends on when and where I can get them but I’ll report back!
I don’t reload otherwise I’m almost positive I’d have a 22 creedmoor. Really exciting cartridge but factory ammo limits me right now.
Does anyone know when the Hornady stuff won’t be exclusive through 1 supplier?
This is my other problem is I really don’t NEED another rifle. My stable of centerfires has enough overlap as is… I already have a .223 bolt gun so even 22 ARC seems redundant. Maybe I should stop buying guns.
I guess yeah that makes sense. I’m picturing continuing to use the 147 ELDM for whitetails and the 100 for practice, coyotes, and maybe some late season doe hunts.
I didn’t really lay that out but yeah I guess I do realize the bullets terminally won’t be the same. At least in this case. I bet...
I’ve been getting the itch for a 6mm Creed (or possibly 6 ARC). In trying to stave it off I started looking at some of the numbers and it actually seems like there’s too much overlap to justify it. I know this is the internet, always buy another gun, but it looks like:
The 6.5 CM 100 gr ELDVT...
I had a B14 that broke the extractor, when they replaced it I had two different types of ammo then fail to extract as well and I had the tap the bolt open to get the brass out.
Yeah I’ve had bad experiences with Bergara as well. Good customer service but the second rifle was just as problem laden as the first one. I doubt they’re all bad, but I’ve seen enough from my end.
