He is new and obviously hasn’t read the thread, your going to get the same old answer as every other new guy that post without reading
Read the entire thread and if your still not convinced then maybe come back and explain why instead of “just saying”
First of all, to each his own, not saying you shouldn’t, just that I wouldn’t . I’m not a big risk taker when it comes to my elk. I manage my points very carefully, and when I draw a coveted tag, I’m not taking any chances. I need to be able to shoot significant distances, at all manner of angles, in all kinds of wind and weather, way off the beaten path. I trust my 300WSM with 180gr ELDX handloads implicitly. Just like I trust my .223 for varmits. Without perfect conditions (normal for elk) I’m opting for the heavier bullet. Could I kill an elk with my .223, probably! But I once caught a 48 inch Musky with a fly rod too….would I do it again? Hell no, I was lucky to boat dat bitch, let alone revive her afterwards. Why take that chance with a valuable tag and a beast of an animal. You do what you do, I will follow your thread….. seriously, good luck!
Be honest: have you read all 300 pages of the actual thread?
Is there a consensus on which factory 77 grain TMK ammo seems to be the most consistent? I’m most interested in velocity spread over “groups”.
If I’m not mistaken, Black Hills has come the most recommended.
I read the thread, as an avid big game hunter I just have my own opinion, just like you do. How does it matter that I’m new to this, doesn’t mean anything in my book.
Yeah I’ve strictly shot 73 ELDM also. Was thinking about taking the leap to the 77 TMK once I get my Tikka .223 put back together.
You joined the site this morning. Did you really read all 300 pages of this thread today??
Yep. Tikkas shoot it fine.
Wow, some people can read more than a word at a time…. I know that could surprise you! What is it, no one can express an opinion that doesn’t mesh wit yours?
I haven't expressed my opinion.
You can be incorrect and still be welcomed. Up to you if you can handle that or not.
Holy Cow, is it really like that? Well, I guess I can feel it already. Thanks for the support dude!
I think he was genuinely trying to he helpful. Your first post in this thread, on your first day, is typical of someone who read the thread title only and weighs in with a quick off the cuff post. If you did read (or do read) the entire thread and you disagree with the premise of the thread and want to say so, great - but some substantive basis for the same would help the discussion.
This is a bullshit statement.
Sure I can handle that. Being incorrect and getting called for it is just fine. Being chastised for an honest opinion because it is counter to someone else’s opinion…. Not so good! Happy to debate not happy to be dismissed…. Right?
