Thread: Browning X bolt Hells Canyon Speed

Yup my Ackley has been up there as well but case life was pretty bad in my rifle.

I have good case life and accuracy at 2950ish with the 130 berger vld.

I don't want it to be a stretch. I would like to do it comfortably.
I might even stick with the 130vld as it has performed really well in the 260 on animals so far.

Them 130s are good aye. I was just wondering what was going on here. I recall you said you'd never need another rifle other than the Blaser.......

They seem to be working really good so far.
Everything has been bang flop but I have personally only shot 1 or 2 out of say a dozen animals with them. That is why I want another rifle so I don't have to let other people use mine.

I was in this exact spot 4 years ago,
Jumped all over the show and then settled on 260 sako, was high use 900 animals in 3 years so I reckon your cal is pretty bang on.
The biggest issue you'll find is scope choice with multiple users rather than the cal or platform
I learnt the hard way that some people just cant get picture through some scopes,
Swaro Z5 was the worst, hope that helps ya.

I dont no if there is a best Bruce,
No one ever had any eye box issues with the Leupold Vx6 so we stuck with that.
