    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    You're not wrong, to me its more of a horse of a different color. Rate of twist and marketing is what is going to make the 7 PRC the shiny new toy. I have a 300 WSM that I love and hope they keep it alive as it just plain works at the ranges I shoot at. I'm not taking elk at 600+ yards

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    Recoil is definitely going to be more for a 7PRC than a 6.5 CM but ask any hunter and they will tell you they never notice the recoil when shooting at game. That said, they make some fantastic muzzlebrakes that tame it up to 70ish %. I gave my bull two pills with 300 wsm both hits and the guide...

    300 WSM Norma Bondstrike Wyoming Elk

    It becomes the old argument of do you want the energy delivered inside the animal or to create an exit wound. I'm not sure there is a clear answer on this as with everything there are tradeoffs... no free lunches. If the animal dies right there, its irrelevant but if it gets up and runs, a...

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    I love the 6.5 cm for deer but have seen a bunch of my shots that did not pass through with bonded bullets. A 243 can take down an elk with the right conditions but elk are not small animals and question if the 6.5 CM or even the 6.5 PRC is the right medicine for the job. I just got back from...

    300 WSM Norma Bondstrike Wyoming Elk

    Its a good bullet, I've had similar results with Nosler Accubond with elk, deer and bear. Even Federal Fusion is a solid performer and shoots well out of my guns at closer ranges. Haven't had a chance to try Federal Terminal Ascent but would expect it to be another great performer. I know ELD-X...

    300 WSM Norma Bondstrike Wyoming Elk

    No unfortunately I didn't take any pics after skinning and the forum is telling me the pic of the dead elk it too big. Not sure why as its the same size file as the pics of bullet.

    300 WSM Norma Bondstrike Wyoming Elk

    The bull was quartering away so bullet entered back middle of the rib cage and rested just behind the opposite shoulder against the hide. It did break first rib on entry and passed through additional body cavity given the angle. Had it been completely broadside, I don't think it would have been...

    300 WSM Norma Bondstrike Wyoming Elk

    Just wrapped up an elk hunt in Southern Wyoming where I brought my 300 WSM and several boxes of Norma Bondstrike. Day 3 had a good shot opportunity at small 6 at 185 yards. When he finally got out of his bed, I hit him at slight quartering away shot. He he just hunched up at the shot and stood...

    New Digiscoping Option—MagView **Review Added 8/3/22**

    Bought it to use on my elk hunt. I had tested it at the range and was always pour alignment which created a haze view at the top of the scope image. I think it had something to do with the ridge on the plastic case but can't confirm. During the hunt, it was essentially worthless, using an IPhone...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    I tried to order one box to test but they are a bulk seller, need to purchase a minimum of $200 before checkout. It seems legit but I've already stocked up but for those guys that need some its an option. Honestly, with credit cards you can always dispute charges. Hey, I'm not trying to convince...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    Can't vouch for its authenticity but I did think the same thing about the price, especially given there is zero 300 wsm available. Its worth calling them and see.

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    Seems that they have some but just about everywhere is sold out https://fadaofhope.com/product/norma-bondstrike-180-grain-300-wsm-ammunition-20rds-20176782/

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    I'm a big fan of the 300 WSM as I've killed everything from Elk, Red Stag, black bears and its never let me down if I do my job. It doesn't love every ammo but when you find one it does, its consistent. Mine has never liked monolithic bullets for whatever reason but the same could be said for my...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    Hmm, looks like it must be out of stock as I've literally bought 8 boxes recently. I might be part of the problem :)

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    I just got a bunch of bondstrikes and they shoot well in my Browning Xbolt and the gun can be a little fussy when it comes to ammo. I'll be taking these with me to Wyoming this Fall for Elk, if there is any left after this past winter!
