Can’t wait for the fall seasons to open and more pics added to this thread.

Voluntary simplicity.

Good way to fill the freezers and pantry.

Two shots from my last cull hunt in RSA this year to cheer things up.
A warthog taken at 520 yds with a 77gr TMK and a blesbuck taken at 440 with an 88gr ELDM. Gun is a Blaser K95 single shot with its 1:8" 22-250 barrel.

Which bullet do you like more ? The TMK or ELDm ? I’ve got a 1-8 22-250 I’ve only shot 77gr TMK’s out of

Was looking at this. Is it a reputable company? Do they take your $$ then inform you they are backordered or if they're In Stock they actually are in stock?

Yes creedmoor sports is a reputable company. If it shows in stock then they are actually in stock. They have a backorder system but it would normally say that you are backordering an item. So you should be good to go!

As has already been stated, that retailer has been solid. I’ve purchased from them multiple times without any issues at all. I would order these without hesitation if I needed em.

Thanks... Kind of!

is it safe to shoot that factory 5.56 in a .223 tikka chamber?

yes

@mt terry d the cmp estore has some 77smk and tmk load by Creedmoor Sports so I'd say they're fairly legit. Plus if the black hills sell out, might be a good alternative. It is .223 vs 5.56 though.

 

[mt terry d]

I ordered. Thanks boys.

This should be a good to go whitetail hunting round out of 14.5 AR up to around 350-400 yards?

 

[Marshfly]

Been flipping through a lot of this thread. Came across it after I traded a Ruger American 7mm-08 for an older Howa 1500 heavy barrel 223 a few days ago.

Now I feel like I gotta trade again for something with a twist that isn't 1:12 like the darn Howa. Arrggghh.

Don’t see why it wouldn’t work just fine as long as it’s still cruising around 1800fps at that distance.

1:12 is a deal breaker. Even 1:9 is too slow

I'm realizing that. But really, this is a fun gun just to shoot the hell out of for me and my son that's cheap to feed. I have hunting rigs.

 

[Marshfly]

Ok screw it. Going to keep this Howa (as long as it's a shooter) because it looks cool for my son to shoot and get a Tikka in 223. Because why shouldn't we both have cheap to shoot guns.

1:9 wouldnt scare me off of a rifle I wanted. Might not be launching long dong 70+ grainers at stuff. But its far from handicapped.

Those 70+ grain bullets kill super well. It's kinda the premise of this entire thread to shoot the heavies.
