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

I have a box of the CMP stuff. Haven't had a chance to chronograph it yet but it seems like good quality. Starline brass, 77tmk, and shoots pretty good. Probably a fair bit slower than the black hills stuff but much much cheaper.

In my AO the ELDM is much more available. Cheaper, too.

Good price for guys looking for loaded 77 TMK ammo. Less than $1/ea with tax/shipping and I assume these are going to be a higher quality than AAC. 223 pressures not 556 though.

Just give it a light crimp maybe? I picked up 50 fps by crimping rounds that only had about 1-1.5 thou in neck tension by accident (wrong bushing after processing like 200 cases )...

100 yards. Always 100 yards for normal centerfire rifles.

What’s an abnormal center fire?

Sub sonic really.

I searched but didn’t find much. Does anyone have info on how the 75 ELDM does at lower impact velocities? Maybe 1800-2200?

Probably something like a subsonic 300blk, 338 arc, 8.6blk, etc

I was always a zero at 200 yards guy because I liked using the point blank range method for when I needed to make quick shots under 350 ish yards. Now that I am hunting using scopes with exposed turrets I started to zero my rifles at 100 yards and if I am walking in a area where I might need to make quick shots at various distances I just dial my scope up 1.5 MOA.

You guys want factory threaded 16" stainless Tikka's?
If you do make some noise, Im litigating..

I'm sure this takes some time, but are you thinking these are still a possibility down the road?

A lot of people had a similar path. There are so many advantages to a 100 yard zero. A more reliable zero might be the biggest one

Thank you!

I'd be in for one for sure and can probably talk a buddy or 2 into grabbing one.
