.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

That's absolutely smoking. Long barrel and some magic pixie dust(rl26)?

Yeah that was talking about post count like someone else said. If I was getting 3700fps, I’d be selling them things at a very high premium .

That makes two of us. Bought a 22 creed earlier this year and absolutely love shooting it!

I have a 7prc that I am seriously considering selling and then getting a 6 creed. It’s a lightweight rifle and that 7 just bucks so much it’s not much fun to shoot more than about 10-20 rounds.

The two things stopping me is that I just need to see the effectiveness of the 77gr TMK for myself first, and the money I’d get from selling the win mag I have won’t go that far for the bougie gun I want to build. Might as well keep the dang thing lol.

That's probably a good idea. Your 300 seems to work well for you.

Better to keep it around at least until you mess with the 223 for awhile. The 77TMK will definitely kill well, but so does your 300 WM.

I’m not a big magnum guy, but the odds I took a .223 elk hunting (even with say 88grainers) is about zero percent...I elk hunt big roadless broken wilderness...have no interest in watching a big bull take its death run down to the bottom of a hell hole if a larger cartridge would improve my odds of putting him down right there.

Still the best response here after all of this .......

I’m not sure if I would use a 223 for elk either. But for deer and black bear it seems to work well. Some pretty experienced hunters who post on here have had good elk outcomes with 223, 22-250, 22 ARC, and 22 Creedmoor.
