I know you asked Mulyhuntr, but I'll echo the statement that H4350 gets the best accuracy with 108's. I load mine 2.235" base to ogive. H1000 wasn't good with the 108's, but it showed some promise with 95gr ballistic tips.
Tikka 243 108 eld m, 2980 muzzle velocity, first deer ~185yds, second deer ~200yds. No necropsy photos, but the damage was impressive to say the least. First deer - small entrance and exit, we found a hand-sized piece of lung had been pulled/pushed through the ribs and was lodged just under...
1. The only things I eat besides meat are peanuts and pistachios, but only ones that come in the shells that haven't been tainted with some random refined oil. It's on purpose, and only to break up the monotony of the diet every now and then. Meat, eggs, and some dairy gets old after a while...
Carnivore diet is legit. I've been on it since december of last year. I thought it sounded too good to be true so I gave it a go. Long story short - It's the way for me and I'm not going to stray too far from it.
I'm not an expert or a doctor, but ask me anything if you want to know more.
DIY. Cheap walmart foam pad cut into small pieces, stuffed into a Reebok sock. 2.3 oz. Take it with a grain of salt for now. I haven't used it in the field yet, but it works fine while shooting off a bench with an ammo can as a front rest. Prone dry fire practice off a pack hasn't shown any...
T3X Lite 6.5 creedmoor, factory stock, widened the barrel channel, action torqued to 55 or 65 in lbs (can't remember which), added vertical grip and limbsaver pad.
Trijicon Tenmile HX 3-18 x 50 sfp, UM 30mm low rings.
The load is 140gr sierra match kings, Lapua srp brass, CCI BR4 primers, 40gr...
Good luck finding Lapua or Peterson brass. I read a post on here not too long ago that said Peterson won't be doing 243 until sometime next year, but I don't know if that's legit. No idea what Lapua is up to with 243. Sig brass is surprisingly good for the price. I bought a bag to try and then...
So far I have 105 rounds through my Tikka with 2 loads that shoot same POA/POI - 100gr SGK with RL26, 108gr ELDM with H4350. Based on the last range trip I'm pretty sure the 95gr ballistic tips with RL26 or H1000 will do the same. 5-10 shot groups have been between .7in and 1.9in depending on...
How close are you trying to get to the lands? I load roughly .040 off in my Tikka. Any longer probably won't fit in the factory mags. The M+ mags will fit a longer COAL.
USPS is wild. One year I ordered broadheads on black friday. The estimated delivery date came and went, and then all the tracking info completely disappeared. Broadheads didn't show up at my door until Christmas eve.
I work in the shipping industry and I've seen some things, but USPS takes...
