25-284 shooting 134 eldm. Coworker has never shot over 100 yards and smoked this buck first shot off a tripod at 600 yards. Then I shot the buck on the ground at 804 yards. Love this thing.

What's your bbl length and MV out of that setup? Sounds badass!

22in and 2952 not pushing it. Just stupid accurate.

With the new tmks coming out and talk about the jacket thickness, has anyone cross sectioned the 131bj and 134 eldm?

Does the Sauer 100 stock shoot much different than a T3x stock?

I was surprised to find the same with the Sauer 100 6.5 I came into.
I took it to S2H last June as my "big" rifle. I thought "it's just a 6.5, I can deal with the stock..."
It was a PITA compared to a Rokstok!
I cut a piece of pine to fit the stock parralel to bore and taped it to the bottom of the butt like the Rokstok is. Not fighting the butt driving back and down made it easier to control and more fun to shoot.

it does. with a slightly negative comb and the heel is almost at bore line, it wants to shoot.
with the flat toe I made, it shoots similar to a Rokstok.

Can someone talk me out of using the new 112 CX or 117 LRX as a primary elk rifle? Ballistics look pretty amazing and low recoil in a sub 7 lb setup. Was thinking a 25 PRC.

If I remember correctly in the wby podcast they were saying the 117LRX tip is different from any other Lrx tip. I think they said they were inserting the tip in the bullet then turning it down to spec afterwards. I assume to reduce runout. Should be a good option for shooters that require copper.

I’d look hard at the 117 or 122 McGuire bullet. I’ve talked to some guys who have used them quite a bit with fantastic results. I have the 117 loaded in my 25 creed. Shoots stupid good, hoping to get some pigs killed with it very soon

Those are pricey bullets!

They definitely aren’t cheap I’ve shot the hammers as well and had good luck with them. Both bullets are super accurate. Not cheap but for the consistency it’s worth it for me.
