Wife got her first big game animal.

108eldm at 300yds from a 6creed. I made a poor wind call, told her to hold .5mil into the stiff breeze. Should have said a full mil. But he died extremely quickly, must've hit an artery because the spray was impressive and he didn't go 10yds...mightve made it a couple yards.

Awesome congrats to her!!

Got more info on her 6cm tikka?

It's mine. She technically has a ruger American predator 6 creed with a bushnell lrhs2. But I don't trust it as the zero seems to wander .2-.4 mils.

So she used my tikka t3x with a steel proof research prefit cut to 18". Has a rokstok, sportsmatch rings, swfa 3-15, ab raptor 10 suppressor.

Only thing I would change is going with a minox zp5 5-25x56 thlr, but 2600 is hard to swallow for a scope.

Ohh but worth it.

The ZP5 with THLR reticle is amazing. Am guessing you've seen Form's review/eval covering reliability and usefulness of reticle.

To my eyes, glass is better than the Nightforce ATACR, Vortex AMG, Bushnell XRS, and Steiner (forget model designation, but similar mag range / class of scope). An odd combination to compare to, maybe, but that's what was on the range that day.

Got any pictures, that must have been some range day

I have plus what thlr.no himself released about it. Been following his stuff for years, I can't remember what company used his reticle design first (maybe S&B) but always thought it was practical.

Has anyone tried the 90gr or 104gr tipped hammer bullets?

I'm curious what kind of damage they'd do on deer and elk.

From what I have seen others post it seems that the hammers generally create a lot of damage and pretty quick kills for mono bullets.

I'm not a mono shooter, but if someone wants a bullet that does adequate damage and also exits, maybe these would work.

Nope - was a long range class. Day one was fundamentals and 22 drills. Day two started with the @THLR challenge - 500 metre shot, cold rifle, cold shooter. One shot only. Pass or fail. Everyone passed.
